Tiny Update

I've got to get better at sticking to something. I can be such a failure sometimes. I'm still breastfeeding. However, the end is near.

I've quit drinking. So has hubby. We're going on about a week and a half sober now. Woo hoo. I honestly can't contain myself when I drink. It gets ugly. So I'm putting it on hold til I can figure that all out. It's in my blood.

We got a cat :) We actually got him on Christmas Eve, kicked him out because he crapped all over our bed and didn't see him for a whole month!! But he's back now and looks like he's sticking around. We named him Beast. Fitting with our dog, Belle ;)

I'm learning to become stronger in my faith. Trying my hardest anyway. I wanna be the best mama I can be. I know I can't be perfect, but I sure as heck wanna raise my boys right.

Carsons birthday is coming up!! He'll be 5 in March. Gosh how time flies!!

Jackson revisited the dentist this week. Bless him, he is such a tough boy. And so smart. He knows everyone in our family by their full name and can tell you their birthdate! He is one smart 3 year old. He makes me so proud.

Hampton has words!!! He says:
Bye bye
Hey
Yeah
Uh oh
Cookie
Kitty
Belle
Ball

He use to say mama and dada, but has so much fun with his other new words he rarely says those anymore!

I'll be back soon with more updating. Pictures. And hopefully something interesting. My boys are keeping me pretty occupied lately :) I wouldn't want it any other way though.

This Whole Breastfeeding Thing..

Trying to wean Hampton from nursing, is like taking crack away from a crackhead.

Talk about total withdrawal. Holy Hell.

I'm taking Prozac, my daily vitamins and birth control .. Every day.

And that's not to mention my need for alcohol, um, almost every day. Whether it be one glass, or the whole dang bottle.

I SHOULDN'T be breastfeeding.

So I don't nurse when I'm doing any of these things, and Hampton isn't having it. I'm talking full out head banging, screaming crying, like pure torture.

Is this normal?

I'm scared to talk to my pediatrician. He might think I really am CRAZY.

But he's one. And I'm done. Apparently he isn't. And I'm totally torn.

Happy Mama, Happy Boys ;)

Mama, it's nap time already! :)

On the way to his 12 month checkup! Crumbled a moon pie all in his lap!

At the doctor!!

Hamp is 1 year old now :)))

I am STILL trying to wean him. BUT, I have started birth control so I've really not feed him but only twice since because I'm scared for him to get my milk while I'm taking it. So, I will officially have a weaned baby SOON. Hopefully, by the end of this week!

The Giants won last night!!! Yay! Yay! Yay!!! They're going to the Super Bowl!! So Excited, can't you tell :)

Oh, so Hampton is 22lbs. Around 10th percentile in height.. little shorty!

I need a job, Scentsy is awesome stuff but not gonna get me making any kind of money I need! :(

Brandon and I are planning a getaway (JUST the TWO of us!!!!) Soon. I can't wait!!!!! We've never been able to do that since I've been pregnant, pregnant, breastfeeding, pregnant, and breastfeeding again! Haha! Now that I'm not doing any of that, WHEW, we're taking a weekend off ;) Either Valentine's Day weekend or Anniversary weekend in April, or hell .. why not BOTH :)

3 Kids is Never Less Than Hectic!

I haven't updated in forever :(

Hamp is walking, walking, walking!

He'll be 1 next week!!

He's still breastfeeding. God bless my boobs!

I'm working on weaning him.

Carson starts preschool next week.

Jackson is still a HUGE mamas boy.

Brandon is still into the converter and recycling business.

Selling Scentsy sucks.

Hubbs is raking all the cash in himself.

We finally (after about 6 years) have finished the majority of the remodeling to our house.

We're in Georgia right now while Brandon works. But when I get back to my computer I will upload some pics and try to keep at this blogging thing :) I sure have missed it!!

4 Month Checkup :)

My baby Hampton is 4 months old today! Soon enough he'll be big and walking around and bossing me like my other two boys. Babies are cute but I don't want anymore kids, lol.

Stats on my sweet baby boy:
4 Months
Weight: 13lbs 12oz (Close to 50th percentile)
Length: 25 1/2 inches (He has moved up into the 50th percentile!)
His head is still tiny (10th percentile)

I fed him after she weighed him and stuck him back on the scales, I was bored waiting for them to come back in .. and he weighed 14lbs 2oz! How awesome?! It's neat to know he is still getting 4-6 ounces from me :)

His doctor says he is perfect. I couldn't agree more :)

Sweet boy at the doctor's office :)

Our Weekend! :)

Friday I got my tattoo I have always wanted. I had to wait til I had all my babies first. But I knew I wanted something dealing with my boys.

I couldn't decide until I got there. But they drew it up and I LOVED it.

Getting started!

One of my views, haha! I sent this in a text to Uncle Danny.

Getting it done!!

No pain, no gain! :)

Loved it!!!

Final result .. at the restaurant waiting on our drinks!

Cover-up! I used to have a Chinese symbol here. The tattoo guy said it looked like something off a Chinese menu and he won't letting me walk out like that. Awesome tattoo artist! :)

My feet ;)

Mama and Brandon stayed home with the boys and me, my sister, Ashtan and Sara went with me.

When we left there we went to eat at Mucho Mexico. Let me not even get into the service. It basically took longer to get our drinks than it did get my tattoo.

Me and Ashtan, finally getting our drinks!!

Love my Sister!!!!

How couldn't you love Sara, and that cleavage? Haha!!

Saturday we left and went to Chocowinity. Some people we know have a place down there and so we packed up thinking we'd spend the night, yet Hampton was screaming the whole time so we came back but Carson stayed!!!  He was having fun and so he begged us to let him stay so we did. He did cry some but we were two hours away so he sucked it up and stayed and didn't come home until around 7pm the next night!

On the way to Chocowinity

Sleeping so good!

Sunday we dropped Jackson and Hampton off at B's moms and him and I went to the river. Not as exciting as I had assumed. Sadly, I'm just not that outdoorsy type. So we were only gone a couple of hours. Hampton cried nearly the entire time and held one ear a lot of the weekend. Leading me to Monday ..

Monday I carried Hampton to the doctor. I thought for SURE he had an ear infection. All weekend when he cried he would hold his ear. I guess maybe he has found his ears? Because the doctor says he looks fine!

My little guy at 12lbs. Almost 3 months :)

Sweet boy passed out waiting for the doctor!

Oh and on Friday I carried the boys to the park since I was leaving them that night for a little bit to get my tat.

We ORGANIZED!!

Sleeping in the bumbo. I didn't leave him like that though!! :)

Me and my handsome big boy :)

Carson's Easter egg tree!

Hampton napping while we were decorating :)

Jackson hates getting his picture taken!

And so he wouldn't get in this one!! :( We have yet to have a full family of 5 photo!

Fighting in Wal-Mart. My reason for Prozac!!!

Everything is good now!!
