Nursing mom

I am proud to say Ive made it nursing Emmy for 7 months now and hope to make it to a year, but Im going back to work when she will be around 9 months..so with no pump we will have to bottle feed some.. while she is at daycare at least..Its gotten to the point where nursing in public is NO longer an option since Emmy thinks its funny to pull off, let my milk spray everywhere, and stare and what is going on around us for a few minutes before latching back on. Last night Emmy slept from 9pm to 3am (in her own bed let me add) nursed back to sleep and at 5am I put her in her bed so I could get up and she slept till 9am there.. So Mommy feels very rested today and Emmy seems the same.:)  Here are a few pictures from a lil fun photo shoot me and Em did the other day:)

My big boy Dustin, man is he a growing! We went out to eat Hibachi Buffet last night and Dustin ate shrimp and noodles all by himself!

LOVE MY BABIES:)

5 am & We have been up two hours

5 AM and I just rocked my baby girl back to sleep.  She woke up at 3 this morning... now normally I would be a wreck getting up that early but she slept straight from 10pm to 3 this morning without getting up. Even though I did wake up a few times and check on her.. I feel like I slept all night. Instead of nursing back to sleep this morning she reached beside me and woke up Dustin lol. We stayed in bed watching cartoons for a little while and she started blowing raspberries :) So we came downstairs to make sure Ryan gets some sleep. He will be up shortly to start getting ready for work. Dustin's up for the day, watching Wow Wow Wubbzy now but I'm sure he will take a nap sometime today! I'm on my 2nd pot of coffee already! As I sit here rocking Emmy, I looked at the clock and almost gasped out loud. Yesterday it seems she was turning 6 months and I couldn't believe that was already here.. and now its 5 more days till she is 7 months. It's just flying by! I only have a few more months till I go back to work (me and Ryan agreed that around August would be a good time) and while I don't mind going back to work.. I'm sure going to miss my babies!  I don't even wanna think about being away from them all day:(
Emmy is SOOO close to crawling! She can get where she wants to go by scooting and army crawling and rolling and she has Almost got the crawling.. she will move one leg then the other.. then scoot lol.

A new day

Today is a  new day.  Emmy didn't sleep well last night.. she would wake and cry but wouldn't roll over and nurse like she usually does. I had to pick her up and hold her, calm her down, then nurse her back to sleep. I wasn't sure what it was until she had an explosive diaper this morning LOL! She has been asleep since 9 now and it's 11.
Ryan went out and bought a weedeater this morning.. it was just too much hassel to have to borrow one everytime we needed to cut.. Its taking a while to do that grass.. I THOUGHT our yard was tiny lol... but cutting that much with a weedeater looks horrible lol. At least our yard will look nice again. Im glad Ryan's here to do it though. I dread him deploying.. I know I complain that he doesn't help as much as I want him too... but he DOES help a lot.. I should really start trying to thank him for it. I complain too much.. I know come end of next year I'll miss him.
It been raining almost all week and its pretty dreary looking out there now.. I think it just started drizzling..
Ems up and Dustins coming in from blowing bubbles!:)

Is it May already?

Its seems like everytime I turn around another month has flown by, my kids are growing up so fast. Emmy is almost crawling and Dustin is becoming momma lil man.



We have made some really good friends here and now that Ryan's platoon is getting in order, we have started making a few more.. Adult conversation always needed lol. We went bowling last night and Dustin had a BLAST.

We are finally getting settled in our house on post. Starting to look like a home.. just gotta get some pictures on the wall and a few accessories lol.

I'm working hard to be a good little housewife.. but most days I just wanna spend the whole day playing with the kids. I did scrub the kitchen floor today..so that a big accomplishment lol. 

Tomorrow is Mother's Day and I wish I could be back home with my mom! The plan is church.. and either small lunch and out to dinner or out to lunch and small dinner lol..and lots of family time!
Its finally getting back warm out! We have a nice swing and little patio set.. plenty of seating for grill outs and guests... I love having ppl over! Luckily Ryan loves grilling.

 I cannot wait til July to hopefully get to go home to visit and celebrate the boys birthdays back home!
Em will be getting around good by then of goodness....
