Fun Facts

It's 1 o'clock in the morning and I am not tired yet...I have been playing on this damn computer all night. I read the entire journal of a 16 year old, first time mom. 

dear Sierra,
You shouldn't have married Ricky (aka: your baby daddy) just because he got you pregnant. He's a loser. I can tell this not only by your journal entries but also by his picture; nice pants Ricky! Pull them up!!!

Sincerely,
Jennie

That was mean, sorry Ricky, whoever you are.

Anyways. Here's some fun facts about Connor...

This time last year I was 5 weeks pregnant.
Connor's birth date was Wednesday, October 04, 2006
He was born at 4:26pm
My conception date was most likely 1/11/2006
Connor is 118 days old today and is in his 17th week! (Wow, time flies)
His birthstone is opal (Hope) (Same as mine!)His Flower is Calendula or Cosmos (White, Yellow and Varied)
He will start kindergarten in 2012 (Ill be 29, Mike will be 32)
He will be old enough to drive a car in 2022 (Ill be 39, Mike will be 42)
He will finish high school in 2025 (I'll be 43, Mike will be 46)
He will graduate from college with the class of 2029, give or take a year. Can you imagine? (I'll be 47, Mike will be 50)
The name Connor is of Irish origin, and it means strong willed or wise Hound-lover (???) I'm going with 'strong willed'.

That's it! I can go to bed now that all of my readers know that Mike and I had sex on January 11, 2006 and Connor is a hound lover.

Good night!

Laughter

Connor has started laughing. When that little boy laughs - my heart melts. His laugh is the best sound I have EVER heard in my whole life...I mean that. When he laughs, I get so happy that I nearly cry. It's absolutely beautiful. I have been so blessed with such a happy baby... I am so thankful for him.

Mom

My Mom is coming to visit this weekend while Mike plays in his volleyball tournament. Maybe I'll be able to do a few things like go for a tan or two and get some serious housework done. Crazy that it takes your mother visiting for you to be able to get your house cleaned, but c'est la vie! Maybe I'll even be able to fill my dreadful 2 inch long roots. Wishful thinking. 

Regardless, I love when my mom comes to visit us. It gives me a little bit of a break and I get to spend some quality time with her. I loves my mama!

Tip me over and pour me out

I have been waiting for a momentous event in Connor's life and he finally created one...he flipped himself over today!!! I was(pretending to) run on the treadmill downstairs while watching the video monitor...one second he was sleeping peacefully on his tummy and the next second he was looking straight at me lying on his back! I ran upstairs and he looked so stunned...like..."what the hell just happened here?" I almost cried! I picked him up and hugged him like he was going out of style. Then I came back to reality and realized that if I didn't stop cheering and laughing and lay him back down - I was going to have to rock him to sleep for the third time today (and it was only 11am)...so back down he went. I of course, proceeded to call my husband and my my father to tell them the great news. No, I did not call every one of my closest girlfriends...I emailed them one by one because I knew they would be at work.

I may or may not have just taken a break from three hours of watching him to see if he'll do it again.
