I'll just come out and say it--- My life rocks! Everything is going great. I'm applying for colleges to start in the Spring, I can't wait. Harold has been living with me for a few weeks now and it's going wonderfully. When Ellie is sleeping we talk about wedding plans, apparently he wants to be dressed like James Bond haha. We'll probably settle on a more casual suit for him, maybe just a nice blazer. Still can't agree on a date though. Our 4 year anniversary is on Halloween, but we're celebrating (if we can) the day before because my sister is throwing a party. I was hoping Ellie would fit into my first halloween costume (a penguin), but it's too big on her. Her 4 month doctors appointment was this morning. She's 11 pounds, 14 ounces, so that's almost double her birth weight. She's growing well, and perfectly healthy. The shots were, once again, a nightmare. She hasn't been feeling very well since, just sleeping a lot. I think she'll be fine by tomorrow though. She's in size 2 diapers now haha, moving on up! Harold went out and bought her (and me) a bunch of stuff. Diapers, wipes, onesies, toys, a playmat, about a million different types of Johnson and Johnson lotions, shampoos, oils etc., he even got a pamphlet that shows you how to give a baby a massage haha. Then for me he got two shirts, a pair of jeans, a jacket and a desperately needed new diaper bag (my old one was like 5 bucks, very small, bright pink, and falling apart) I guess he was just in a spoiling mood. :) SO how's everyone else?

Congrats your life is going so well!
Everything is pretty good here. In the midst of moving still. Rylie has hit the terrible twos early. She is so so obnoxious. If yu tell her not to do something she laughs and does it more. We got a new miniature pinscher puppy. Nights are rough. Ryan may have another televised race at the end of the month. At Lowes Motor Speedway, Charlotte, North Carolina. Pregnancy is going ok. Just exhausted all the time and morning sickness still hanging on. I believe thats it for now. Nothing to exciting.

I kind of know what you mean newbaby-- my nephew drives me crazy sometimes. I tried to suggest to my sister teaching him 'Time Out' since he seems like he is at an age where he would understand, but she doesn't think so. If he's old enough to understand that crying will get him his way, I don't see why he wouldn't be old enough to understand that if he does something he shouldn't, he's going to be ignored for a few minutes as punishment. Eh, what do I know, I've never punished a child before *shrugs* Good luck with her, I hope she grows out of it before your new edition arrives. That'll be a handful!

How old is your nephew? I know you've said, but i forget. We've tried time out. Im not sure if she understands it or not. Reguardless, it doesnt work. Im at my wits end with her. Its like there is nothing that can be done. Just hope its a phase shes going through. A short phase.

My nephew just turned 1. How many times have you tried time out? Maybe you just need to be a bit more persistent?

That's really good Amanda :) I'm glad! Me...I don't think I have ever been happier :s. Jeff is amazing..and so sweet. He says corny cute lines all day like I was cleaning and said ugh I'm hot.. he said "Hell yes you are." And smiled at me. It made me blush. Last night he said Mama you are crazzzzy and laughed,(bed time) and I said so are you! and he said, "I'm crazy about you, does that count?" Bah. I feel soooo sappy! And he laid his head on my belly and kissed it, told Victoria how excited he is to see her... and every night before bed he will hold his hand on my tummy to feel her move. Today he let me sleep in BIG time and when I woke up he had coffee AND breakfast ready! He does so much.. and gosh I don't even know, I am crazeh about him. Someone give me a good smack and get me out of this lovey-dovey mood LOL! (Kidding, I like it, don't take it haha!!!)

Aww Addy that's so sweet! Harold says corny things to me like that too haha. V- We're not even sure the year haha. It all depends really. We're both just really excited so we talk about it A LOT. I want a Spring wedding, he wants a winter wedding. It probably won't be until next year at least. As soon as possible definitely :)

Yea, i havnt been very consistant with the time out thing. I need to be, i just cant stand punishing her! Guess i need to just put her in time out everytime she misbehaves before it gets out of hand. I dont like doing it when i dont know whether or not she understands why its haopening. She knows what a "no-no" is so she probably does understand.
Ryan and I have been engaged since my 21st bday. April of this year. We havnt made pland or even set a date. We just have such abnormally busy lives. I wanted to be married before the we got pregnant again but the baby fever won. Now i want to wait until after i have the baby and im back down to my pre-pregnancy weight. So we'll probably have a 2 year engagement, which i guess isnt so bad. Im still working on the not being a total b___h to him thing. I have improved, but still have my moments.
