Energy, from where & Big Sister!

Well if you haven't heard it yet, Mati moo is going to be a big sister! I am due around the end of January and we couldn't be more excited! I think it is sooo sad how planned out we are...the first month with Mati we conceived...I told everyone the night I went into labor that I would...and the month I agree'd to for baby numbero 2 ...well you get the picture. I don't take all the credit though....2 people can do what their suppose to but if God doesn't put life there, you get nothing. I just want to say that I am soooo thankful for everything we have been given! We have our names picked out already and I am loving every minute introducing the big sister role to Mati.I think she will make a great older sister. For now January seems a long time away so I will be focusing on my fitness and eating healthy...Bring on the baby weight (in small doses please).

Moving on.. I have had energy from I don't know where. Since I found I have been incredibly happy, but this rush of energy really has me baffled me. I have washed my car..inside and out in this dreadful heat, cleaned things out...made dinner with Josh..cleaning house and doing laundry during the week. That is a little out of my norm. So whatever it is I hope it sticks around. Ohh I will say one thing I was looking forward to being prego again would be some bigger boobs...so far I am still walking around with the little things that Mati left me with, so I am hoping soon I get that side effect from pregnancy.

All About Mati:

This little girl keeps us laughing everyday! She has soo much personality.

One of our Convo's:

Me: I am in a panic looking for my keys, we were running late and I called Josh he had no clue and out of no where Mati says..

Mati: Mommy, where's keys?

Me: I don't know..

Mati: Josh has keys

Me: Ohh daddy has my keys...

Mati: Yeah..

Another one~

I was laying Mati down for bed and josh walked in from letting baxter in.. Mati says..

Mati: Mommy, where's Josh?

Me: He went nite nite like you are..lets go to sleep..

(Josh gives baxter a treat and you hear the glass cling when he puts the lid back on the jar)

Mati: (rolls over and looks at me like I lied) Mommy, Josh gave baxter a cookie.

Me: I know ..now they have to go nite nite..

Mati: rolls back over staring at me like I am a liar....awesome!

Tuesday we tried to get her to run through the sprinkler...she hated it! I sure hope that changes. She informed me that it was water and it made things wet. She hates any dirt on her feet, she comments "ewww" and "gross" when there is anything on them. Kissing her boo boo's still make everything better, which I love. She is into everything..she helps me clean..she recognizes the alphabet and says random letters..we are working on colors and counting..she is doing great and so are we!

Everybody have a great day!

I don't know..

This weekend...Josh and I had tons to do..I had errands all day on Saturday and cleaning all day yesterday. I am so glad we just relaxed on Friday night.

Last week I decided to try this Master Cleanse thing I had heard about...10 days ....no eating..special lemonade. Well I made it 2 1/2 days and I had to eat. I did lose 4 lbs in 2 days though. I am a believer I just need food to function. :)

Saturday we were up and running..Mall...lingerie gift for a friend...drop off our rings to get them looking brand new....a little shopping for mommy and moo....Toys R Us...a net for Mati's toys .... Walmart ...grocery shopping...Lunch with my parents..my mom made the most amazing roast beef sandwiches..yummm....then we went home to change and head over to Steven and Britney's..Mati had a blast. She played with Britney's niece and she kept wanting to go inside then outside. She definitely keeps us busy. While cruising the mall on Saturday we found a little stand that did embroidery, they had small backpacks with bows that were adorable so we placed our order and headed over to Toy's R Us. When we came back to pick up the bag I let Josh run in and I proceeded to circle the mall. After a few times I asked Mati "Where's your daddy?"..I wasn't expected a response but she quickly answered "I don't know"....lol..for the next 5 minutes she would ask me every few seconds.."Where's Josh?"

Sunday was a great day...I was in the shower and I hear Mati yelling "mommy" so I answered her "what?" and she responded, "I didn't know where you were"... ok so I thought that was really cute.. she is such a smart girl. After church we had lunch with my parents then we headed to pick up our rings...They look awesome! We ventured over to Babies R Us to pick up a shower gift for Josh's cousin. I ordered her some of the best things that I got at my shower. Its nice to get somethings that you generally don't splurge on right after you have a baby. Next we headed home to tackle my 3 page To do list... yeah we work'd our rears off and still didn't get everything done. I am a very detailed person and I probably set goals that are a little to high for myself, but this keeps me going so my "to do's" will bleed into the week. This is the life I live for.

Tomorrow is my dad's birthday!!! We are going to Taste of Texas...I am kinda excited! I am a meat and potato's kinda girl!

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend..I hope to update our main picture and add some shots after tomorrow night! Adios!

Fresh Start~

I am starting a new lease on life!!!

Last week I finished up finals, and I feel like a brand new person. After I saw the all A's online, school felt so worth all of the lack of sleep...binge eating ....and lots of no dose! I am taking 2 classes this summer and I am already ready. Bring it on! Josh also did well, completing 2 of his classes in his MBA program with A's. Needless to say we decided to celebrate Monday night, so we went to dinner and just enjoyed each others company.

The past few weeks have been complete chaos. We have had some pretty low low's but we are inching our way up slowly. Life is making its way back to the norm and for that I am so grateful.

Summer is here...Weekends can be spent at our dirty beaches. Sandals, swimsuits, and my little girl playing in the sprinkler are about to happen!!! lol.. Mati by the way is a complete handful. Here are some of the things she has been up too:

One of our morning convo's...

Mati are you ready to go to school?
Mati: No
Mommy: Don't you want to see Harlie (her bff)?
Mati: No
Mommy: Ok well what about Caden of Caleb?
Mati: Be Quiet! (pointing her finger at me)


She also is making up her own music...I think she may have a future writing lyrics. While we were getting dinner ready she is putting her magnets on the fridge singing .."my poo poo".. I told Josh well she has definitely poo'd her diaper...

She is obsessed with her blocks. Her and daddy make their creations daily. For some reason she insist on sitting in whatever she just made...its pretty funny....

Anytime she see's a truck it is "maw maw" and "paw paw's) ....mommy has a car....lol.. She really likes talking about this. The whole drive to daycare we are usually discussing cars.

All the kids in her class are learning each others names. The other day when we left daycare we passed one of the other little kids moms...Mati look right at her and said her daughters name..I was pretty impressed.

Mati is also a little helper. She loved to clean with a paper towel or wash cloth, and when I start to vacuum she gets her play one and follows behind. I love this phase!


I am also back in the swing of things with the gym...I started the 10 day total cleanse and I am sooo excited! Wish me luck...have a great day!

Today...

Today I sit.....

I sit in a desk that is larger than most and yet I still manage to cover it with paperwork...

My head is split with an unbearable head ache from the backs of these green eyes all the way to the light brown hair that longs to be dyed...

My body shakes from chills and my lower back needs a major rub down...

My large tonsils fill the back of my throat and it hurts to speak...

My screen is filled with orders awaiting to be put in...

But still I sit...

With no empathy from anyone.....I sit...

Pure exhaustion glazes my olive color eyes and the longing to crawl into my bed calls me...

My better half feels the way most do.... "welcome to finals"... or whatever hell this is..

I now have come to know regret...unfortunately my mother in law passed away..

Before her passing there was much that I needed to say..

Did she know I genuinely loved her....that I would always take care of her son..

Or did she see my eager eyes filled with love too heal her pain....

I miss her already...not that I called her often..

I miss our rambling chats that we used to fill the awkward silence..

I will miss the fake phone calls I placed with inquiring medical questions about Mati...I already know the answer I just wanted her to fill included...

Most of all I will miss your laugh and how you always put me at ease with my vanity...

Something we both shared..

I will miss you always...and I will speak your name often...your memory lives in our minds and Mati will know how much you loved her..

My heart is aching at the pain your son must feel, but I will remain strong...and cry on my own...

We love you and we miss you immensely Happy Mothers Day Susan...you gave me the best thing that ever happened to me, and for that I owe you everything....

Week/weekend happenings...

Well what a busy week we have had and after this weekend we are going to be knocked up into overdrive until finals...I am scared and excited all at the same time!

Mati has been doing great! Her vocabulary has expanded to words I haven't expected to hear yet. It really amazes me how much that little mouth can talk. Its almost been a week with no binky and she still kind of ask for it from time to time. I have noticed that when I say the binky is all gone, I am asked almost in the same sentence for her "cuppy".... I think she is replacing the binky with her cuppy, and that's okay. Wednesday when I picked up Mati from the daycare I noticed an ambulance outside the building where Mati is kept. In a hurried walk I finally reached her classroom. I noticed the teacher was gone, but I didn't think anything of it. I was holding my baby, and that's all that mattered at that moment. After asking some questions my heart broke when I found out that one of the little girls in Mati's class was actually seizing in the ambulance and they couldn't get her to stop. During diaper change the little girl began seizing on the ground, the teachers cut her clothes off and laid her on her side to try and get them to stop. Nothing worked, she started seizing at 4:05 and continued until late that night. Typically when you have a seizure your brain doesn't get in oxygen and if the persist for a long period of time, brain damage is common. Thankfully she was released from ICU the next day and she had zero brain damage! Thank you Jesus! Poor Mati, the kids were all in the room and I asked Mati if she was okay. She told me yes and then asked me if I was okay. She can always make me smile. Other than that we have a little tease on our hands....she will act as if you are about to get a kiss and run away laughing...lol. She also got her first pair of puma tennis shoes. I am so anti-tennis shoe, but Josh insisted and I am glad she got them. She loves them and is constantly showing me her new shoes...lol.. She also loves everything..she loves her books, Baxter, cookies, mommy, Josh. It's hilarious!

This week is going to be a major clean out...wipe down weekend. I want alot done, so we will see what I get accomplished! This hands can do wonders...lol..

Unfortunately Josh's mom was taken to the Emergency room yesterday afternoon. She is having a hard time controlling her muscles from her waist down. We are hoping this might be a side effect from her medication, but the doctors are worried that a compressed tumor is on these nerves...effected her equilibrium. So please keep her in your prayers.

Prayer

I would like to ask each and every person that stumbles across my blog to say a prayer for my mother-in-law. Josh's mom was diagnosed recently with stage 4 cancer. For those of you that don't know me..I am a person with a great deal of faith. I have seen miracles happen, and I am a firm believer in the power of prayer. When Mati is sick I always take her to the alter at church to be prayed for because I believe in a greater physician. Susan, I know you read this blog from time to time and I am sorry for putting it all out there. I personally feel that the more prayers we have going up, the greater the outcome. I hope you forgive me.

If you know us and you see my husband....be extra nice...his heart is heavy.

Thank you in advance..
