Happy Canada Day!

I can't believe it's July 1st already ! Man , have I got lots to do in the next 1.75 months. I kinda feel like i'm wasting away the summer focusing on the wedding and not just enjoying it ...oh well i guess it only happens once!

Addison made her 6th Month trip to the doctor this past week , and she's 16lbs 8 ozs & 26 1/2 inches long. As for her eye and skin , as always it's still a waiting game to see if they can go away on their own ... Although she also had a clicking in the hip (which i imagine is quite common ) so we're watching that also. I 'm in to the hospital sometime soon to have three moles removed in the next month or so.

Josh is HATING his new job at the nackawic mill ....but really i can understand. Aparently it's super dangerous , they only work inside for 15 minutes of every hour, the other 45 minutes they go outside and wait. There are gas leaks every second day , which means they spend that day outside waiting for it to be safe inside again. It's 100 degrees inside and they have to wear full clothes and gas masks while they work. The money is good but not good enough for him to stay there too long , so we're back to sending out resumes and applications to see if he can get a job out west ....

I was back to the gym this week , had a good workout and then weighed myself (i only do this once every 4-6 weeks) and i now weigh 20lbs less than I did the beginning of March YAYYY!!!
Now i just have to go to mom's and try my dress on again ...haha


Anywho wherever you are this Canada day, Hope it's a good one ! As for us we're hitting the block party and fireworks . Hope to see some of you there!

In 6 Months ....

In the last six months I have rocked, cooed , laughed , cried, kissed, bathed, fed, changed and spent all-nighters with what looks like my last baby girl. To say I am a bit sadened is an understatement in the very least. Is 6 months really to soon to have a baby itch again ??? My only real wish is to keep her this age for the rest of her life , a chubby , wiggly, smiley , happy-go-lucky baby ..forever ..lol.

She's eating baby food now and has so far liked carrots and sweet potatoes , green beans are next on the list. Diaper changes are particularly interesting also ...I now have to peek first before I prepare for the task .haha .. Still no victories in the sippy cup department , but we're working on it ( she has yet to think it's much more than a chew toy ) . We're in to see the Doc next week , and i'm excited to see how much she's grown , and find out some info on the dry rubbery skin patches she has on her arms and abdomen , and her eye that has had a non- stop leak since birth.

I'm in to see the doctor also , because I was supposed to get my back checked out after having addison but still have yet to get in for myself (oops). Hopefully a few spots on my back are only moles and not anything to worry about ...Hate being in the hospital no matter how long the stay ....(long story involving a short cancer scare 7 years ago)

Josh finally got a new job , doing electrical at the nackawic mill ...so it's things are looking up for us ....Here's hoping it continues ...


p.s We are getting married in t- 2 months !!

Need Sleep !

Okay so , I forgot to mention anything about my lastest struggles with Addison in the previous post so....once again here goes ....lol

I Need Some Sleep ! For the past two months addison has completely changed her sleeping routine , and I have no clue what to do. She now wakes up every 2 hours or so in the night ! I'm up 4-5 times a night and then spending at least a half hour in between to fall back asleep (so pretty much up all night ) At first I thought it was a growth spurt I could ride out , because she only wants to eat when she wakes up, but it hasn't quit yet ...Then I moved on to different things I thought might be bothering her ...I make sure she's not gasy or cold or hungry , i've tried letting her fuss a bit to see if she'd fall back asleep , I thought her teeth might be hurting so i've given her tylenol or camilia before bed to see if that would work . We have a bedtime routine , she gets a few spoonfuls of cereal right before bed but nothing seems to work.I'm starting to wonder if it has anything to do with my breastmilk ...

I know some babies take a long time to sleep through the night but she already was from 1 month to 3-4 months , and i'm not sure what has changed . She has two to three naps in the day , but not for more than an hour.

With the wedding coming up, and the stress that comes along with it . I'm feeling run down.
At this point I really wouldn't mind her even just waking up once in the night for a feeding but 5 times! I know I can't handle it much longer . If you have any insight PLEASE share it !

It's Crunch time!!!

So now we're less than three months away from our wedding and things are really coming together more and more everyday. It's starting to make me so excited !! I know I won't sleep for a week before the big day ..haha Just today I booked our flowers, which was a huge sigh of relief because I really wanted real flowers and was starting to run out of options and might have opted for fake flowers instead ..phew! We also just heard from the lady that's to make chocolates for the wedding instead of fudge , which is sorta a disapointment but oh well , Can't say I hate chocolate so it's better than nothing lol . We're also picking up our marriage license tommorrow yay! So really all that's left to check off is decorations, rings , order of events , reading selection, jewelery , tux picking and fitting , babysitters and mani/pedi appt.

Addison is growing way too fast ;( , she'll be 6 months in a week and a half , and on to real food . I'm starting to get so depressed that I may not have my own little baby ever again ...but then again i'm happy to see us be able to get out as a family more and more everyday and even on my own once and awhile .. Speaking of out on my own , My parents Anniversary was two weekends ago and addison stayed at her nan's for most of the night without me and did perfectly fine , to my astonishment ..The party went over really well and was a nice night out away from the kids .

Addison first tooth is just about to emerge (after months of teething ) , and my poor boobs are feeling the brunt of it ..lol I Hope it holds off as long as possible for my sake at least lol
Summer is getting along good too .. lol everyday we're amazed with the things the child comes out with ...lol like a few nights ago when she was having a hard time getting to sleep a few nights in a row ..so josh had decided to go into sleep with her just for the night to calm her down ...in the middle of the night he said he woke up and looked over and summer was in the rocking chair reading a book to him while he slept ...i almost died when he told me the next morning ...ahhaha

anywho i'm off to go do some dishes and BBQ some food ..till next time ....
