Easier With Rylan...

Well, it's been getting easier with Rylan sleeping in his bed. I thought it would be awful, but so far it's not been to bad. I do have to lay down with him until he goes to sleep. Then I try to easy off, sometimes he wakes up and says mommy where are you going. It's hard though not half as bad as I thought it would be. Last night I put him in there and let him dose off, turned the tv on music and he didn't wake up until 12am. So, I put him back in his bed and turn it on horses, and I haven't heard a peep out of him yet... and it's going on 1am. So, maybe I have progress. I hope and pray... Would be nice to have my own bed again since I am pregnant and can fit on Rylan's twin bed with him hardly anymore lol...

I Blame Myself

I have no one else to blame but myself and Scott for letting Rylan sleep with us... It is so hard trying to get him to sleep in his bed. We have tried letting him watch tv before he goes to bed, and so far that doesn't work. He likes to get up if you don't lay there with him. What am I going to do? 3 more months and baby Levi will be here and then I will have my hands full. I just had to spank Rylan cause he keeps getting up and coming in here with me, saying " Mommy lay down with me". I told him that I could lay down with him that he was going to have to sleep by his self. He didn't like that. I have babied him to much. It's hard when it's your first. Everyone told me don't let him sleep with you, and I listened for a little bit. When he was 7 months old and got sick, that's when he started sleeping with us. I was working 10 hours a day, and Scott had work a long day, and it was just easier. Wish I could go back and change lol... I watch the nanny trying to get some tips, but Rylan is so hard headed. You can spank him and it don't phase him... It hurts him the most when you put him on his bed or set him on the floor. I have been working with Rylan for 3 night already and it's getting better though it's hard....

Where's The Money?

I didn't realize how much money it took just to go to work, and keep life running. Since I have been home we are able to save so much money. I don't have to spend over one hundred dollars a month to drive to smithville, and I don't have to have twenty to thirty dollars for lunch a week... I am starting to learn how to be frugal with our money. I am starting to collect coupons which I have never done until now.. The way I look at it, is how bad do I want to be able to stay home with my children? I will do anything for them. They need me and I need them. It looks like I probably won't be able to go back to work, cause I am still on bedrest. But, I think everything happens for a reason. I am so excited about being able to stay home this summer with Rylan. Does anyone have any ideas about being frugal? How do you pinch every penny?

Rylan and his checkup...

It was a long day yesterday... Me and Scott took Rylan for his yearly checkup at the doctor's office. Dr. Purvis said that he was ideal height, though he was a little underweight for his age. He has motor skills of a 4 year old. He can tell you his colors, all farm animals and sounds, and he knows who his mommy and daddy are. I am so proud of him... I would love to send him to preschool right now, though with everything that I've got going on, it's hard too. Dr was glad to see that he was already potty trained. He had a hard time with it at first, but when I got rid of the pull ups he was fine with it. He hasn't had too many accidents. Rylan isn't flat footed like me as we thougth lol... Overall his vist went well. I couldn't be happier with Dr. Purvis..


Then when we got out of the doctors office we had to go to get our eye exam. That was fun... Rylan didn't have a nap all day. They probably was ready to see us leave. He can be a little terror if he doesn't get his nap in for the day. Me and Scott got a new pair of glasses. I am going to try to wear mine lol... I don't never, I hate them, but I am going to try cause I really can't see anymore.

Baby Levi due May 11

Doctor's Vist

Well, tomorrow I have to go to the doctor to have another ultrasound. I'm kinda scared cause I am afraid that they might find something wrong with the baby... They are going to check the heart and his lip to make sure that he doesn't have a cleft pallet. Seems like everyone I know is either pregnant or just found out that they are expecting. It seems like when there is a war there is a baby boom.
I loved watching it snow today. I was hoping it would cover the ground so Scott could take Rylan out in his sled. I have some more birthday pictures, I will try to get them uploaded.

Rylan's Birthday party at McDonald's....

Rylan's Birthday

Well, Rylan had a good birthday yesterday. He thought it was Christmas again lol.. He thought that he was getting christmas presents. I had to keep telling him that it was birthday presents. I have planned a birthday party for him at McDonald's. There is going to be about 12 kids. He is excited... I told him I would take him to the mall tomorrow and buy him some shoes.. He wanted to go to Tractor Supply..

Baby has moved alot today. I probably done to much today with going to Walmart and Bi-Lo. I had to get grocerys cause I'm out of everything. I had a list and still forgot 1 or 2 things lol. That's how it usually goes. It was so cold out today. It's suppose to be colder tomorrow. Hopes everyone stays warm tonight and tomorrow....
