PEYTEN UPDATE

SO TODAY I HAD A DR. APPOINTMENT AND IT LOOKS LIKE I AM DIALATED TO 3 CM AND MY CERVIX IS FINALLY THINNING. THIS IS GOOD NEWS. HOPEFULLY SHE WILL COME SOON,BUT NOT SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!!!! MY DUE DATE IS SUNDAY AND IF SHE HASN'T COME BY A WEEK FROM TODAY (NEXT THURSDAY) THEY WILL DO AN ULTRASOUND AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OKAY AND THEN I WOULD GO TO THE HOSPITAL ON FRIDAY TO BE INDUCED.........

HOPEFULLY THOUGH WE WON'T NEED TO WAIT THAT LONG AND SHE WILL COME SUNDAY NIGHT OR MONDAY MORNING :)

I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED.

UNTIL NEXT TIME..................

DAYCARE UPDATE: PART 2

SO, ON FRIDAY ME AND MY MOM WENT TO ANOTHER DAY CARE, AND IT WAS SUCH A BETTER EXPERIENCE THAN THURSDAY. THIS PLACE WAS SO MUCH NICER. IT WAS NEWER, BIGGER AND THE TEACHERS WERE SO MUCH NICER. GRIFFIN DIDN'T CRY ONCE. WE WENT INTO THE TODDLER ROOM AND HE PLAYED WITH THE OTHER KIDS AND AT ONE POINT ME AND MY MOM LEFT TO GO LOOK AROUND AND HE DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE WE WERE GONE. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE THE CENTER HE FUSSED B/C HE WANTED TO STAY AND PLAY.

SO I HAVE DECIDED THIS IS THE BEST THING FOR GRIFFIN RIGHT NOW AND FOR ME. WE ARE ALWAYS TOGETHER AND IT WILL BE GOOD FOR HIM TO GET SOME INDEPENDENCE AND THEN THIS WILL GIVE ME SOME TIME TO BOND WITH BABY PEYTEN WHILE GRIFFIN IS AT SCHOOL. I'VE GOT TO FILL OUT TONS OF PAPER WORK AND GET SOME DOCTORS RECORDS BUT HOPEFULLY HE WILL START SCHOOL IN ABOUT 1 1/2 WEEKS. SO OF COURSE, I WILL TAKE PICSOF HIS FIRST DAY OF "SCHOOL"

UNTIL NEXT TIME................

DAYCARE

SO, TODAY I WENT TO LOOK AT A DAYCARE WITH GRIFFIN. OH GOODNESS........... IT DIDN'T GO OVER SO WELL. FIRST, ONCE WE WENT TO SEE THE CLASSROOM THAT HE WOULD BE IN, HE LATCHED ONTO MY LEG AND WANTED TO BE PICKED UP AND THEN BEGAN TO CRY OVER AND OVER. HE WOULDN'T STOP. HE WOULDN'T STOP UNTIL WE GOT HALF WAY HOME. TOMORROW WE ARE GOING TO CHECK OUT ANOTHER DAY CARE AND MAYBE HE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

YOU MAY BE READING THIS AND SAYING TO YOURSELF, DAYCARE???? WHY ARE YOU PUTTING GRIFFIN INTO DAY CARE WHEN YOU ARE A STAY AT HOME MOM??????? WELL, BECAUSE HE NEEDS THE SOCIAL INTERACTION OF BEING AROUND OTHER KIDS. HE IS ALWAYS WITH ME AND IN ONE YEAR HE WILL BE GOING OFF TO PRESCHOOL, SO THIS WILL BE GOOD PRACTICE FOR US BOTH. HE WILL ONLY BE ATTENDING DAYCARE 2 MORNINGS A WEEK, AND HE WILL BE WITH ME THE REST OF THE TIME.

I AMHOPING THIS WAY HE WILL LEARN TO SHARE AND NOT BE A BULLY, OH YEAH THE WHOLE BULLY THING IS ANOTHER POST ALL IN ITSELF!!! AND IT IS GOOD FOR HIM TO GET SOME INDEPENDENCE AND SURE IT WILL BE A NICE BREAK FOR ME TOO.

WELL, I WILL FILL YOU IN ON HOW IT GOES TOMORROW. I WOULD WRITE MORE NOW, BUT GRIFFIN JUST GOT UP FROM HIS NAP. (I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO WATCH MY TIVO OF ONE TREE HILL LATER)

UNTIL NEXT TIME..................

Misc.....

SO IT HAS BEEN A WEEK SINCE MY LAST BLOG SO I FIGURED I SHOULD DO A NEW POSTING ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOTHING IN PARTICULAR THAT I FEEL LIKE WRITING ABOUT.

GRIFFIN IS GOOD FOR THE MOST PART. HE HAS BEEN SICK ALL WEEK WITH A COLD SINCE WE ARE HAVING ARCTIC WEATHER HERE- SUCKS!!!!! I WISH I WERE SOMEPLACE WARM AND SUNNY ON A TROPICAL ISLAND SOMEWHERE, BUT WHO KNOWS WHEN I WILL GET THAT CHANCE AGAIN SINCE WE WILL HAVE 2 BRATS RUNNING AROUND. I GUESS IT IS A GOOD THING NONA LISA AND PAPA OZZIE LIKE TO VISIT GRIFFIN EVERY MONTH SO THEY CAN BABYSIT :) SO SINCE HE HAS BEEN SICK WE MISSED PLAYGROUP AND TUMBLE GYM THIS WEEK SO HE DIDN'T GET TO BE AROUND ANY KIDS. I AM TRYING TO GET HIM AROUND KIDS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE B/C I WANT HIM TO LEARN HOW TO BE SOCIAL AND HOW TO INTERACT WITH OTHER KIDS HIS AGE. RIGHT NOW, HE LIKES TO CRY AND HIT AND IN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR HE WILL BE OFF TO PRESCHOOL, AND I WANT HIM TO BEHAVE HIMSELF. I AM EVEN THINKING ABOUT PUTTING HIM IN A DAYCARE LIKE SETTING MAYBE 2 MORNINGS A WEEK JUST SO HE CAN START TO GET USED TO IT, BUT WE WILL SEE................

ON ANOTHER NOTE PEYTEN IS DUE 2 WEEKS FROM TODAY- NOW THAT IS CRAZY!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAST 9 MONTHS WENT. ME AND JASON HAVE A FEELING SHE IS COMING EARLY BUT HOPEFULLY SHE CAN WAIT UNTIL THURSDAY WHEN MY MOM COMES TO HELP. I AM REALLY GETTING NERVOUS ABOUT 2 KIDS BUT I GUESS WE WILL MANAGE.

ON ONE LAST NOTE I AM GETTING READY TO WATCH PRETTY BOY TOM BRADY KICK SOME SERIOUS SAN DIEGO ASS TODAY SO WE CAN GO TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!!

UNTIL NEXT TIME...................

MY NEW OBSESSION!

SO YES, IF YOU KNOW ME PRETTY WELL YOU KNOW I AM OBSESSED WITH TEENAGE SHOWS. YES, I WATCH GOSSIP GIRL, THE HILLS, NEWPORT HARBOR, AND 90210 RERUNS, AND NOW I HAVE FOUND THE NEXT BEST THING- ONE TREE HILL. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SHOW. IT IS THE NEXT BEST THING TO 90210. ONE DAY I WAS SITTING ON THE COUCH WATCHING SOAPNET- YEP SOAPNET- THIS IS WHERE THEY PLAY 90210 AND AFTER 90210 WAS AN EPISODE OF ONE TREE HILL. SO I SAID OKAY, I WILL TRY IT OUT AND EVER SINCE I HAVE BEEN HOOKED. I MEAN SERIOUSLY THIS SHOW ROCKS!!! LAST SEASON ALONE THERE WAS MURDER- BROTHER MURDERED BROTHER, TEENAGE PREGNANCY, HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING, TEENAGE MARRIAGE AND MY FAVORITE A PSHYCHO KILLER OUT TO GET PEYTON! YEP, THIS SHOW HAS IT ALL,A ND NOW I CAN WATCH ALL NEW EPISODES ON THE CW!!!!!

AND I WAS AFFRAID THAT THE NEW SEASON WAS GOING TO SUCK B/C SAESON 4 WAS SOOOO GOOD, BUT IT IS AWESOME. THEY SKIPPED 4 YEARS AND ARE NOW 22, SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THAT COLLEGE DRAMA OF GETTING 6 CHARACTERS AT THE SAME SCHOOL, THAT OFTEN FAILS SO MANY TIMES WHEN A SHOW TRYS TO DO THAT. SO FOR THOSE OF YOU OUT THERE LIKE ME THAT ENJOY THIS TYPE OF STUFF, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ONE TREE HILL.

UNTIL NEXT TIME................

POST FAMILY UPDATE

SO IT HAS BEEN FOREVER SINCE I HAVE DONE A BLOG POST. I'M NOT SURE WHY B/C MY MOM AND DAD WERE HERE TO HELP OUT AND I GUESS I JUST TOOK THAT TIME TO RELAX AND WATCH ONE TREE HILL- MY NEW OBSESSION!

WE HAD A REALLY NICE HOLIDAY HERE IN BOSTON. MY MOM AND DAD WERE HERE TO CELEBRATE AND WE HAD A WHITE CHRISTMAS, WHICH WAS FUN TO SEE GRIFFIN GOI SLEDDING- HE IS SUCH A BOSTONIAN!! SANTA WAS GOOD TO US AND BROUGHT US EVERYTHING WE WANTED AND I WOULD SAY THAT GRIFFIN MADE OUT PRETTY WELL. IT IS SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT NEXT CHRISTMAS WE WILL HAVE 2 LITTLE ONES RUNNING AROUND- CRAZY!!!

WE HAD A NICE NEW YEARS AS WELL. MOM AND DAD WERE STILL HERE AND THAT NIGHT ME AND JASON WENT TO A NEW YEARS PARTY AND TOOK GRIFFIN B/C KIDS WERE ALLOWED SO IT GAVE MY MOM AND DAD A BREAK FROM US :)

WE GOT SO MUCH DONE WHILE MY PARENTS WERE HERE. GRIFFIN GOT NEW BEDROOM FURNITURE- INCLUDING A BED- BUT HE IS STILL TOO LITTLE FOR IT. HE LIKES HIS CRIB. I BET ONCE HE IS 2 WE WILL TRY AND PUT HIM IN HIS BIG BOY BED, SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GET ANOTHER CRIB. WE ALSO MOVED GRIFFIN'S WHITE FURNITURE INTO PEYTEN'S ROOM SO HER NURSERY IS COMING ALONG. I AM GOING WITH THE COLORS OF PINK, GREEN, WHITE AND CREME IN A SHABBY CHIC THEME WITH BUTTERFLIES :) WE ALSO WENT THROUGH GRIFFIN'S OLD CLOTHES TO SEE WHAT WE CAN USE FOR PEYTEN SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO BUY ALL NEW CLOTHES. DON'T GET ME WRONG, WE ARE STILL BUYING THINGS FOR HER AS I TYPE. INFACT, TODAY WE WENT TO ORDER A DOUBLE STROLLER THAT MY MOM AND DAD WERE KIND ENOUGH TO GET FOR US AS A GIFT.

WELL, OTHER THAN THAT,NOT MUCH ELSE TO REPORT. I WENT TO THE DOCTOR LAST WEEK AND IT TURNS OUT MY CERVIX IS STILL REALLY THICK AND NOT DIALATED AT ALL AND HER HEAD STILL HASN'T DROPPED. I STILL THINK SHE IS COMING EARLY- HOPEFULLY!!! HER DUE DATE IS SUPER BOWL SUNDAY, AND I CAN'T MISS THE PATS WIN IT AGAIN!!!!!!

OKAY I GUESS THIS POST GOT KIND OF LONG SO I WILL END IT NOW. I WILL BE BLOGGING MORE OFTEN- PROMISE!!

OH ON A SIDE NOTE- WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH BRITNEY SPEARS- THOSE POOR POOR KIDS!!!!!
