Big Brother Landon

Well the reason I will be redecorating all of the bedrooms soon is to make room for Landon's little brother or sister!
I feel that its another boy this time. Mainly because I do not want to get my hopes up high for a little girl. If we have another boy, he will have Landon's jungle themed nursery and Landon will be getting a Thomas the Train theme room. I haven't decided if I want to switch Landon's room to the extra room if we have a girl. I may just let him have his current room until next summer, then redo his room. I do know I get to pick all of the girl nursery theme out because Aaron chose Landon's. If its a girl, the name will be Olivia. If its a boy then supposedly Aaron gets to choose because I chose Landon, but I do not like any of the names he suggests.

Aaron says its a boy. I told him that he knows he will spoil a little girl just like he spoils my niece Lily. He says that Lily is different. Lily is Lily- is all he had to say.

I am eating way more than I did when I was pregnant with Landon. I think it may have to do with that I was working 40 hours until a month before I had him. Being at home this time, gives me time to just snack constantly.

Can't Wait!!

I can't wait till I can start redecorating the rooms in our house in the next few months.
I have so many ideas, so many craft projects to start.

Sometimes...

Sometimes its so hard to be patient and wait for some things to happen...

But I do have a baby boy who will always put a smile on my face and a husband who i know loves me no matter what.

January pictures

Landon bought this play toy with money from his grandpa in Lufkin.

All bundled up in his winter clothes
Silly Landon!

Amy, this reminded me of some of the faces Natalie used to make as a baby! Landon was playing in his carseat


His other favorite thing to do is to play inside of our entertainment center




Landon loves playing with Daddy's controllers to the XBox

This is probably Landons favorite toy

Friendship

Over the past few years I have had such a change in my closest friends. After I graduated I was still really close to my 2 best friends from high school and then my other best friend who I worked with. After getting married, we all slowly started to drift away from each other. One friend moved away to college and become the party girl she swore she would never become. One became extremely focused in college. The other married a marine, became a bartender, got divorced, and now just likes to work at the bar. They are all different than I had thought they would be. I have nothing in common with any of them. We all do talk on an occasion basis but we arent close any more at all. If I do hang out with them, I don't think that Aaron likes it because of how they act.

I love being a mom, but lately I have wanted some ME time. I have become so focused on taking care of Landon and being a good wife that I have started to loose myself in the process.

Yesterday I had a really fun craft time with a girl who I was best friends with in elementary school-the early part of high school. During high school, she was the one that was my best friend when I was going through tough times When my mom had cancer and when my grandmother died, she was always there to help me cope. The latter years of high school she and I didn't speak much at all. But now we are becoming friends again, which I am really happy about. She is pregnant with a baby girl due in April and married. I have so much in common with her. I am glad I have her to hang out with again.

Then last night Aaron and I went out to eat with a really fun couple from church. She is one of my only few friends at church. I hate it when she isn't there because then I don't really have anybody to talk to. I am glad that we have finally found another couple that are fun to hang out with.
