Things I Love & Hate (for now)...

Some of the Things I'm Lovin' Right Now:

Baby Butts




The Boppy Pillow
I haven't really used mine for feeding or nursing, but Kaeden loves to sleep on his (something they warn against on the label). I also like to use mine while working on the computer. I stick it around my waist and lay Kaeden on it. He sits and plays in my lap until he drifts to sleep. All while being so close to his hands-free mommy.



Having Grandma at Work
I am so lucky to be able to hire my mom to come work with me. She helps me with some of my work, as well as performing other duties for our company. The best part is she provides a second set of loving hands and great big heart to help me take care of Kaeden all day. Can't beat that! That leads me to my next thing...



My Boss!
Now, while no one really likes to work, and the average new mom would love to stay home with her baby rather than work, I'd have to say that for being a mom who has to work (since Jeff and my lavish lifestyle of private jets, five star restuarants, and rediculously expensive clothing couldn't exist on one income alone), I've hit the jackpot of bosses and jobs. I'm lucky enough to get the green light to take my baby to work, hire my mom for help, and my boss is always so understanding and flexible with me. Did I mention generous?

Baby Jammersuits (Pajamas)



Especially the Doggie-Footed Kind



Daddy and Me Time



Long Baby Eyelashes



TopForm Compleat
When you are on a six-meal diet like I am, it sometimes becomes necessary to have a meal replacement bar/shake here and there. Only problem is, I HATE them. That's H-A-T-E! So when we were ordered to have two a day (ugh!) I thought I would die. Of course the shake they prescribed us is $35 per tub (or jug? I don't really know what that is), so I wasn't a happy camper all around. And then I tried it....and I loved it! It doesn't taste funky, and it doesn't make my belly hurt. I recommend it to anyone who has the desire to be on a Slimfast-type diet, but could never stomach the Slimfast. It tastes like Carnation Instant Breakfast, and is only 216 calories per serving!



No Meal Planning
Since we've started our diet, our meals are completely laid out for us, and we have most everything for our meals already prepared in the fridge, so we throw everything together and warm if needed. Since today is Sunday I would usually look at the clock right about now and ponder what sort of wonderful 7 course meal I would be cooking my darling husband tonight (right! Like I can cook!). One good thing about the diet, it takes the stress of meal planning off my shoulders (I'll think of that the next time I resist as I watch my extended family devour a tray of brownies).

Blogging, and More Importantly, Blog Stalking!
So I do love this blog thing, even though my posts can sometimes be few and far between. I've never been good at journaling (I'd put so much pressure on myself to capture every seemingly significant moment, that when I failed to do so, the entire effort just spiraled out of control into a dark black ball of nothingness), so this blog is the closest thing to that I've come. But Blog Stalking on the other hand is a whole new ball-game. I've found a few blogs I like to stalk frequently, and have even found some new cyber-bff's because of it. Welcome Kristina and Amber!

Some of the Things I'm Hatin' Right Now:

This Sign Still in My Front Yard...In Fact Still Having This Front Yard
Buy my House Already!


Goopy Baby Eye (i.e. Clogged Tear Duct)


My Roots
I've been trying to get to the hairdresser for about a month now. My next appointment (I've rescheduled 3 times) is this Thursday. Wish me luck...
