Update

It has been awhile since I have posted anything and I am sorry. I have been so preoccupied with so many things!

1st we are moving in a few weeks! I can't wait! We will have a fenced in backyard, 3 bedrooms, and everything! We are in the process of packing and getting prepared to move. It is so exciting! I am so happy the girls will have a place to play where they won't have to worry about getting knocked over by other kids and they don't have to play on concrete either!

2nd We still haven't figured out what is causing Anteya's reactions. She broke out twice in one week this week! It hasn't even been a month and she has had 3 breakouts each one she was eating different things. So we set up an appointment for her for next month to get her tested! Otherwise she is great! Growing wonderfully! She is starting to talk now. She said cracker, what's that, mama, dada, and papa. She loves her big sis and her new cousins!!! I thought for sure she would be so upset when my nieces were born and we would go over their and see them. And she was the first time but after that she LOVED them. She likes giving hugs, kisses, and rubbing their heads. It is really cute!

Alaythia is great! She is healthy, happy, and so so so smart! She is always telling us "I love you too mommy/daddy" I think it's so freaking awesome!! She is so sweet and such a helper! She has asked me and her daddy "mommy/daddy I want a baby broder"! OMG she is so so so so so sweet!!!!!

As for Aaron and I, we are terrific! We are still trying to conceive and hopefully that will come soon enough. We are hoping to have the first grandson on both sides of our family. My parents have 6 grandchildren and they are all girls. Aaron's parents have 3 grandchildren and all of them are girls. So we have to have that boy but no worries no matter the gender we will be SO HAPPY!!! We just celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary and 5 years together! It has been the most wonderful 5 years of my life! I have never been happier than I have been these past 5 years! My life really is incredible!!!

I will update again soon enough I have got a ton of things I need to get done today plus LOTS more packing!!!

It has been a long time!

Wow it has a been a really really long time since I have posted anything new! A lot has happened in the last 2 months!

Alaythia is doing great! She moved to a high back booster seat! She is such a big girl! She is talking really well. We had a scare with her a while back because she had hand tremors but it can be common in children if relatives in have anything like it and we do. But she is doing GREAT! Healthy as can be!

Anteya is doing really well! Her last weigh in is was 18lbs 14oz and 29 1/4 inches long! She just celebrated her 1st birthday a month ago! I can't believe how grumpy she was but it was fun she LOVED the cake! It was great! We found out not to long ago that poor Anteya is allergic to something we believe it is mushrooms. Poor girl has gone through so much! But she is healthy otherwise! I love it my girls ROCK! They make me laugh!

Well I gotta run the girls are yelling for me!

I hate SOY!

Well we had Anteya's Allergy appointment on Tuesday the doctor gave us the conclusion it isn't an allergy to milk she is just lactose intolerant. So we have switched her to soy and the rash is completely gone, she isn't nearly as fussy, sleeps better, eats better, and is just all around GREAT!!!! I'm so thankful!

Alaythia is doing well! She lost a lot of weight when she was sick and all of the clothes that used to fit her are WAY to big now LOL. Her pants used to fit just right now they are always falling down. I always say she is just trying to look like her Uncle Zack! LMAO! I need to get a picture of it! Otherwise she is doing great. She is talking so much and says things so clearly!

We are now officially TTC(trying to conceive) baby #3! We are hoping for a baby boy! People tell me I am crazy for wanting my kids so close together but I don't understand why. I mean sure there are times when I just can't handle it but 99% of the time I do great! Alaythia will be almost 3, and Anteya will be almost 2 before baby #3 would be born if we are pregnant right now. I would be due Oct 20th. I know what it was like living with my siblings and we were at least 3 years apart. I am 3 years older than my little brother, 4 years younger than my older brother and 7 years younger than my older sister and until we all moved out none of us got along. Zack(little brother) and I fought like cats and dogs! But we all get along WAY better now! We have pretty good relationships now. I see all these parents whose kids are close together in age and yeah they have their quarrels but they all tell me that their kids get along way better than they did when their sibling and they were younger. So I have always wanted my kids very close in age. So for those who don't know that is my reasoning. Well it is just one of the many. I was also told by the many docs I have seen that since I have PCOS(Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom) the longer I wait the harder it is going to be for me to get pregnant. So I wanted to start young. Well there is some of my reasonings for those who are curious!

Been awhile

Well today is the 24th of January. Not much really going on here. I just turned 23 on the 15th. Aaron took me out to one of my fave restaurants in Lincoln, Granite City! That place freaking ROCKS!!!! Then we went to my fave coffee shop the Coffee House. We spent like 4 hours away from the kids and it was so awesome getting away for awhile. We have not left the kids with anyone for any length of time except on our anniversary in May before Anteya's surgery. So it was a great relief!!!

Speaking of Anteya the girls are great! Alaythia is healthy and happy. She is growing so much. She is a beautiful little girl! She is talking more and more everyday. She can say full sentences, she does ramble sometimes but part of it is because she is just talking to fast LOL!!! It is still so hard to believe she is 2 years old.

As for Anteya she is doing pretty good. She has had this horrible rash for awhile and I have tried so many creams and ointments and nothing works. So we are thinking she has an allergic reaction to something in her formula. The doc thinks it could be the dairy in it so we are switching her to Soy formula to see if that works. She has an allergy test on Tuesday so hopefully that will give us some answers. Otherwise she is great!

Family Update

Well it has been almost 2 weeks now! I can't believe I have not updated in so long. We are all doing well here. Anteya just got a cold she developed a fever that was up to 105.1 and then it just disappeared and now she is just a little stuffy. She is going in for an allergy panel on Friday. She is having some rashes that we can't get rid of. I hope we can figure this out. Anteya is trying to slowly gain back her weight after having the flu! She probably lost a pound or so in just a week.

As for Alaythia she is doing great! Slowly starting to gain her weight back after being sick. She lost like 2 1/2 lbs in just a week. So now that she is eating she is starting to get heavier again. She is happy and healthy! She just had her 2 year check up on the 5th and she was just over 32lbs and 35inches tall so she is 2'11". She is starting her terrible 2's stuff. Like talking back, telling me no, gimme gimme gimme, No, I wanna do it, and all that!!! Man she can get bad with those tantrums!!!!!

As for Aaron and I we are great!!!! We are going to be celebrating my birthday I will be 23 on the 15th!!!! Then Anteya will be 1 on March 11th and we will be celebrating our 4th Anniversary on May 21st! I can't believe how time flies!!!! It seems like only a year or 2 ago we got married does not feel like 4!

A very quick update

Well I have not updated in a while. Things have been so busy since Alaythia's birthday. Which was great!!! She had so much fun!!! I can't believe she is 2 now!!!! Time flies when you have kids!

We had a great X-mas week! I say week because from the 24th until the 28th we had nothing but X-Mas stuff to do. It was fun. I love seeing all my family together!! I had a blast everywhere we went!!!

But now we are all sick. The girls and I have the tummy flu and Aaron has a bad cold. The poor guy has to work all day today and tomorrow and only gets Saturday off before pulling another 9 hour shift! He refuses to get this flu because he doesn't want to take a single day off!!! Which I am happy yet sad about! I miss having him home all the time. But I will get over it. It is just very tiring and over whelming right now with both the girls sick and me sick to. Well I better run I am exhausted and since the girls are asleep I might as well take a small nap!

I will update more when I am feeling 100% again!

Party planning!!!

I LOVE planning parties and other things! I am very detailed and well anal about it all. It has to be as perfect as can be. I have it all planned out and it ends up great!

I am planning Alaythia's bday party which is this Saturday! I asked people to RSVP and then I asked them to let me know even if they can't make it so I can tell the restaurant how many people we have so they can accommodate us with the right size room. We don't want to take a big room if we only have 15 people showing up. I know things suddenly happen and then there is the weather that you can't predict which is totally fine it is the people who don't RSVP and show up anyway or those who RSVP and just don't show up.

I put a lot of time and effort into a party and all I ask the receiver of the invitation is just let me know if you are coming or not.

Sorry for ranting but it just kind of sucks!
