It's been awhile...

It has been over a month since I blogged!! So far, I'm having a little bit of trouble keeping up with my New Year's Resolution of blogging! So far this month, we have done a ton! We got Ben all registered for Pre-K, (I cant believe he's about to start school!!) we celebrated my 24th Birthday and Mother's Day, and Ben had his last t-ball event!

Ben had SO much fun playing T-Ball and we cant wait for fall ball to start! On Friday, May 21st, we went to the Lakeland Flying Tigers vs the Saint Lucie Mets game and all the little t-ball players got to go out on the field with their own "big" player! It was so cool seeing all the little kids out there with the big guys!! Ben had so much fun! They got to stand out there and do the National Anthem and chat it up! Ben was on 1st base with Rawley Shipp (I believe that was his name!) and he's still talking about it a week later! :) We also found out that one of his fellow t-ball players and him will be going to preschool together! Atleast he will know 1 person!

Aubrey is pretty much running now! She just goes and goes and goes! She showed us up last night and proved me wrong that she could drink from a straw! She thought it was funny and started laughing! I cant believe how fast she's growing up and how big she's getting! We went and saw her neurologist on Tuesday and she said that she really thinks it would be beneficial if we saw the Craniofacial surgeon about her palsy. It took everything in me not to burst into tears, because I really didnt want to resort to this just yet, but she thinks he might be able to give us a little more insight as to whats going on and if we need to change our plan of care. My worst fear is that they are going to recommend that she have surgery! They said it would probably be 3-4 months before we can get an appt., so I will atleast have time to let it all sink in.

I cant believe it's already almost June!! It seems like it was just New Years! This year is FLYING by!! I cant believe that Tim and I are about to celebrate our 2nd Anniversary! It seems like just yesterday! Where does the time go?!

So far this April...

So far this April, we've celebrated Aubrey's 1st Birthday, gone to see the Met's play, almost finished up our Physical Therapy and got Ben enrolled in Pre-K for August!!

Aubrey turned 1 on April 5th!! I cant believe she's already a year old! This past year has gone by SO fast! She's growing like a weed and she's almost walking! She's taken a couple steps by herself and she's increasing her vocabulary!! Her party was this past weekend and we had a ton of people show up! She got tons of new clothes for summer and lots of toys to play with!

For a Valentine's present, I got Tim tickets to see the New York Met's at Tropicana Field for the last pre-season game of the year! It was a lot of fun and we had GREAT seats!! Eventho they lost, it was awesome to get to see them here in Florida!

Aubrey's PT is going good! We only have 1 more full week going to therapy before we start our home program! It's about time!! I'm definately ready to not have to go 2x a week every week!

Ben is officially enrolled in Pre-K for August!! I'm really excited for him, and he's not sure yet! I think once the time comes and he gets to shop for school stuff he will be more excited!

This year is going by too quick! I cant believe we're already almost 1/2 way through April! Before I know it, Ben is going to be having his 4th Birthday and starting school!!

Blah, blah, BLAH!!

I feel so bad for my poor baby! Aubrey started running a fever of 103 Sunday night and was very croupy and congested and feverish Monday so off to the doctor we went! The poor thing has a wicked ear infection and is now on antibiotics. She sounds and seems miserable! Hopefully when she gets up from her nap, she will be feeling alittle better!

I finally got my gDiapers yesterday! So far, I love them! I really wish we would've started cloth diapering from the get go! It would've saved us SO much money!! Oh well, now that Tim is on board we will definately be keeping up with it when we have #3!

We ordered our pics that we had done with Cari Vaughn and they should be back either today or tomorrow! I'm SO excited and cant wait to get them! I still cant believe my baby will be a year old in 6 days! I'm definately looking forward to her walking!

Well my croupy little baby just woke up so I gotta run for now!

The first day of Spring!!!

I'm so happy the weather is finally becoming nice!! I hope the cold weather is gone for good, until winter! It's time to do some gardening and then a good spring cleaning! I'm thinking about repainting the living room and maybe the kitchen too! Maybe I'll wait until Tim goes to Vegas! It would be a nice shock for him to return home too! LOL

I cant believe that my baby girl is going to be 1 in 2 weeks! WOW this year has totally flown by!! She's getting so big and I think she's finally going to start walking soon! She was getting brave at the T-ball field last night and letting go! She's finally over that crazy stomach bug and feeling alot better! Her first birthday plans are in the works and we're looking forward to her party!

Ben is doing great at T-ball! He's still pretty easily distracted, but I guess that's what to expect from a 3.5 yr old! He follows his coach around and plays in the dirt alot, but he loves being out there with all his teamates!! He had a check-up yesterday with his Allergy and Asthma dr, and everything looked good! He did say he thought he heard a small heart murmur, but it's nothing to be concerned about and it's very common in kids! It should correct itself, maybe even before we go back to the pedi for his 4 yr check up!

Our Disney trip was earlier this week! We had a blast, but the park was PACKED with people!! We didnt get to ride very many things, bc most of the wait times were over 2 hours, but Ben loved just being there and seeing all the characters and the sights! I was a little worried about how Aubrey would do, but she was great!! She got a little scared of Pirates of the Carribean, but she hardly cried and loved everything as well! It was a little cooler than we expected, but overall it was a beautiful day! We did Downtown Disney on St Patty's Day, and I think it was just as pack there as it was at Disney the previous day! We ate at a really cool restaurant called T-Rex, and both kids loved all the dinosaurs and the meteor showers! Unfortunately, our service wasnt great and we were right behind the hostess stand, there were always people gathered by our table and their kids were all over the back of our booth! Grr!! We're definately looking forward to going back and this time maybe staying 4-5 days so we can come and go and dont have to cram everything in in 1-2 days!!

I guess now it's back to reality! I have a hellish weekend coming up and I'm really looking forward to getting it over with! I worked last night, then I have to work 11p-3a tonight, then do a 16hr shift tomorrow (3p-7a) and then another 12 on Sunday! It's going to be a LONG LONG weekend for me! :( Oh well, the paycheck will be totally worth it! :)

Ugh! I hate this stupid stomach virus that's going around! My poor baby girl has been miserable for the past week! :( I get home this morning from work and she is covered in poop! (EWW!!) Not exactly what I want to come home to, after working 12 hours! After a bath and a bottle she was ok! I cant believe she is almost a year old already! Time has FLOWN by!!

The weather the past 2 days here has been horrible! It's done nothing but rain, rain, rain!! We could definately use some rain, but 2 days worth is alittle much! Ben was SO disappointed that his baseball game got cancelled tonight! (So was I, since he has way to much energy!!) So far, they have only gotten to play 1 of their games! I'm hoping the weather is better next week so we can go play ball!! (even though this weekend is supposed to be BEAUTIFUL!!)

Sunday needs to hurry up and get here!! We are going to the Lynard Skynard concert at the Strawberry Festival! I cant wait! Unfortunately, I have to go to work right after that, but atleast I will be awake and ready to roll! I need to upload some new pics! Unfortunately, I dont have any on my new computer! Maybe that's what I will do tomorrow!

Ok, so I'm a dork! LOL

I totally forgot my log in and my password! So much for keeping up with my blog this year! Anyways, lets see what all has happened in the past couple months! ALOT!! Aubrey is now less than a month shy of being 1! Where has the time gone?! Next week, we are going to Disney! I think I may be the most excited about this! The weather here has FINALLY started to improve! Although, as I type this it is currently pouring down rain! But we are heating up finally!! I got my new car as well!! I LOVE it!! Its a Mineral Gray Durango! It's huge compared to the short-bus that I used to drive! LOL
Anyways, I need to finish lunch and take a nap before work tonight! Now that I remember my login and password, I'm hoping to continue on with my blogging!!

Oh man what a day...

Today was a bad day all around!! It started when we were getting ready for Aubrey's weekly PT appt. Ben just had to go with and was in a horrible mood, as was Aubrey, therefore so was mommy! It's cold again!! And I slept like crap!! We get to PT and they try to charge me $25 more than my co-pay and tell me I have to take it up with the insurance company! Umm....HELLO ISNT THAT WHAT YOUR BILLING DEPT IS FOR? Anyways, PT went somewhat good! Fast forward to the meltdown at the grocery store, then the insurance company telling me we can only good to PT 60 days in a calendar year and anything over that is 100% out of pocket. Aubrey woke up from her nap totally pissed off and was pushing away and smacking me, then all of a sudden she was fine! I got to eat my dinner cold because Ben decided he wanted was I was having now, but wouldnt eat what I made for me because it had salt and pepper on it! And I'm like PMSing or just really moody for some reason! Grrr........why cant today be over with?! The only good thing today, was that my mom e-filed my tax return, eventho me and DH got into a little spurt about it! (Hello, we're getting money back!! Shouldnt that be enought?! Atleast we dont have to pay in!!)

Anyways, I am so looking forward to Friday!! I cant wait to go to dinner and then to see the Lovely Bones with Megan! I cant wait for DH to get home so I can shower and go to bed!!
