Ramble On!

Well, things have been crazy,weird,fun,stressful and ALL the above! Being a NEW mom of 2 has finally hit me. Ty is little more of a handful then his sister. He is ALWAYS hungry and I feed him every hour. He had a docs appointment today and he is only 8lbs 2oz!! He is starting to loose weight. It makes me sad that I cant be the FULL provider for my kids. I want to be able to nurse them and have them be satisfied but that is not how it works for me. I know I have more milk this time then I did with Paige but still not enough to keep them full. So......it's 1-2 bottles a day to get him up on weight. I'll still nurse as much as I can too. He sleeps real good at night though,wakes up 1 time to eat and that's nice. Paige is such a great help and is so great with Ty. I really adore her and Ty together, they're a real cute team! She is getting to big and saying more and more and MORE! She is my chatter box. I am thinking about going to Vegas for a few days before our Park City trip. We'll see though! Started to take more pictures for my business and that has been fun. I REALLY enjoy doing that and cant wait to do more with it. I have been in the shopping mode lately too! I love to go and want clothes all the time. Of course,that isn't possible but it would sure be nice. I finished the baby announcements with the help of Tara. She is so great and they look great too! Thanks Tara! I have been really wondering if there are more kids for us? Are we done? Should we risk or should I say,should I risk the chance of me not being around to watch them grow up by having another baby? It is hard to think of JUST two kids. I know its more then others have but is it enough for me? It makes me wonder what Heavenly Father has in store for us. It's been a spiritual experience and Terry and I know that when the time comes we need to have Faith for WHATEVER the answer is. I AM grateful for my kids though and glad I am here now to enjoy them. All in all things are fine and I really do love being at home with the kids. Thanks for listening!

Glad to hear that everyone is doing good! Crazy how each kid is so different! Sage couldn't get enough mama milk either, sometimes the bottle is nice for daddy too.

I say do not make any child bearing decisions for at least 6 months, if not a year. Your emotions can be haywire right now since they are going back to normal. I am SO glad you are getting pretty decent sleep. Let's hope that doesn't change. :)

Oh I missed you today! I kept thinking about you, but didn't call because I got food poisoning last night and felt yucky today. Blah! I was so excited when I got Ty's announcement! So darling!
No worries about the milk. I produce gallons, but when they told me I had to give Oli a bottle for her galactocemia it was really nice. I am sure I will do both for my next! It is great he is sleeping too!
As for child bearing...DO NOT EVEN WORRY ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW! You will know later on! Enjoy Ty right now. I would even ask for an ultra sound before you decide to get pregnant again so they can really see what is going on inside! Plus you will just know if it is right or not. Worrying about what the doctor said doesn't even make sense at this point!!!
We just got a Forever 21 here and I need to go! Too bad I need to save money for some new furniture for our house! Somebody win the lottery and take me shopping!

Sorry Nichole- My business is Photography. I really enjoy doing it too.

I would love to be a photographer! Did you go to school for it?
Candace Simpson did my wedding and I am so jealous of her work!
I can't wait to see yours!

Did Candace Simpson do everyone's wedding? I ALWAYS hear her name. She must be excellent.

-KJ said...

She is excellent! Too bad she started after I got married! I had a great photographer, but it would have been fun to have her.
Tiff, I am feeling much better. That was no fun! Today I have four little boys playing here and I am just praying Olivia takes a decent nap! Pack of animals!!! Did I tell you I shaved Spencer's head? So funny. He loves it because all his buddies are buzzed!

Mandy said...

kj- you need to post some pics of spencers shaved head!

-KJ said...

I know! Today would have been perfect because he was playing with his toe head buddy and red head buddy who both have shaved heads as well! I need to take pics of our house too. I went to take them and something was wrong with my camera. I need to look at it and just grab my other one in the mean time.

WWWWWWWHHHHHHAAAATTTT!Kjersten!Did you really shave his head? I cant believe it.Please post pics. He's too little to have his head shaved(in my eyes he's still the cute little baby wearing his duckie Easter basket over his head:)). I am so glad you are feeling better.
Nichole- I am NO where near as good as Candace.She is amazing and has a great talent. I just want to be good and she's.......well..AMAZING!:)

His head is so cute! I did it once before, but that was when he was into being a cowboy, so I didn't like it as much because he was ALWAYS wearing his hat and boots.
I love it now. He loves it too. I think it is because all his buddies have it. He looks older without the curls!
