June 28th, 2012- BEING SILLY!!!

Father's Day

So, Jerry's first Father's Day-

 He will never read this and I pray to God y'all will never tell him I posted this, but for his first daddy day I had Jake make a video of Logan's first few months with the song "with arms wide open" by creed playing in the background..needless to say, parenthood makes you more sentimental and due to emotional reasons, I couldn't watch Jerry watch the video- however, In jerry's fashion- anything I do that makes him the least bit teary-eyed, I am usually called a name followed by a smile and sniffles!
This particular occasion, he sniffled at the top of the stairs, came down, looked at me with red eyes, called me an asshole(LOL I KNOW I AM!) and smiled really big while leaning down to kiss me and Logan...Granted this man NEVER CRIES- however, sometimes it's nice to know- he really cares about me and Logan.
 I don't think anyone can deny the fact that Jerry and I are a perfect match- in ways, I see my parents relationship in us(yet not so publicly affectionate as they are)...I never once thought my parents were getting a divorce, though I have seen my fair share of arguments from them, they never went to bed angry, always woke up with love in their eyes, and did everything in their power to provide for six kids- I hope that mine and Jerry's relationship and parenting reflects at least half of what my parents did....

1 week to go/ Logan's 5 months old!

ok- so two posts in one!....here we go.

 There is exactly 1 week left before I become Mrs. Jerry Wilkison...nerves are setting in for the both of us, but we are ready to take the "plunge"...lol. Going dress shopping with mom in the morning(Jerry's going too so he can find a new outfit) getting the marriage license on Tuesday and then hopefully monday(the 2nd of July) we will be husband and wife:) CAN'T WAIT


2nd post-
 Logan is 5 months old now...eating 2 jars at a time for lunch and dinner- we just started meats because we weren't getting full enough and now we are going to be switching to second stage fruits and veggies to have more filling and thickness to meals...lol. He's about 18-19 pounds now and he's sitting himself up pretty good. He's also putting himself to sleep more however still waking up in the middle of the night to eat. He loves his feet and I even saw him put his toe in his mouth the other day! We made our first trip to the flea market with him today with our friends Leah and Donnie and their 8mth old Madison....where mommy was graciously given a funnel cake by Jerry- I have seriously complained and craved one since I became pregnant lol. He is getting very big and for some reason, he is starting to remind me of Jake when he was little(or what I can remember) Now we are hooked on Blues Clues and he smiles everytime they sing a song...he also laughs when Blue barks and "talks"...Like I said he's putting away two 5oz jars of food each for lunch and dinner, along with a bottle an hour later which ranges from 4oz to 6oz depending on how he acts. I'm actually watching him right now, I gave him a bath and he fell asleep around 8:30, woke up at 9 crying but woke up so I sat him up with me and we played, he got quiet so I decided to start this blog- 2 seconds ago I looked and he had put himself back to sleep. He's growing up on me too fast. I went through moms iphone pictures today and when I went through all the very new pictures of him that she took right after he was born- I held it in but it made me want to cry...he's so much bigger and smarter.....

 WE ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!
 We have decided to just run off and get married without all the stress of a wedding:) Going to the courthouse July 2nd to make everything official:)

4 months

So Logan is four months old now.... where has the time gone? He's still my little baby but he's a BIG baby...lol...went to the doctor last tuesday(ironically the day before my birthday) and had his 4mth checkup which came with 2 shots. 27 inches long, 16pds and 11oz...definitely a large baby. He did fine during shots and throughout the day. Naturally, he cried when he got the shots, but a rare occasion was that Daddy(Jerry) went with us and with me hating needles, I was in the corner- we lay Logan on the table because he has a tendency to kick and it's easier for the nurse to hold his leg like she needs to. Well, Jerry stood by the table the entire time and when it was over, he scooped Logan up and comforted him...we left the drs, went to get infant tylenol and then home where we waited for his response to the shots...didn't really have one until 4am when he had to be close to me. By six, he was wide awake but cranky...since it was my birthday, I was happy regardless. I went and fed him like I normally would, he felt warm, but he was in a sleeper so I didn't think anything of it...went to rinse out his bottle when I hear a choking sound, go back to the living room, Logan's in the process of throwing up, however he's kinda laying down so its not coming out. I go grab him, he spews EVERYWHERE!!! the couch, carpet, me, him and the bouncy seat got a whole new color scheme...he's finally smiling, so I sit him down, go start a bath and grab him, as I'm undressing him, he feels even warmer than usual...so I gave him a bath and then checked his temp...100.9! Definitely the highest fever this child has ever had and it sent me into a panic...calling mom at 6:30 in the morning, where she reassures me with shots, thats a lowgrade fever and just to give him more tylenol and keep him comfortable- and no more formula until his fever is gone...well, sure enough, he was back to his normal yet very clingy self in no time...and by the time 12:30 hit- he was ready for a nap and trust me so was I! Then Rachel calls- she wants to take me to lunch for my birthday...and honestly, I can't pass up free food- so I conjur up some energy and go....she takes me to applebees and we are eating and she goes and tells the waitress it's my birthday and I'm 21. I don't want them singing to me but wanted a drink- she checks my ID then proceeds to bring me a drink called Jamaican Paradise-mmmm. That's all I have to say about that drink! Went perfectly with my steak, potatoes and mixed veggies, and then my hot fudge brownie and vanilla ice cream:) Came home to both boys sitting on the couch looking desperate for attention from me...Jerry gets really nervous being left alone with Logan and Logan- well he knows jerry is nervous...so I soothe both of them, telling them I'm not leaving them again since we were all going to Mom and Dad's to celebrate my birthday...Well, then a bomb hits- Jerry had been up since 7am and had to work that night, so he had to go to sleep to ensure he wouldn't fall asleep at work- so Logan and I headed to moms where I had Potato soup and homemade ice cream cake waiting for me:) I had a great birthday and Logan got back to normal with his shots:)
