One more week of maternity leave :(

Hello all! I never thought I would be so lazy with my bloggin', I guess that is what motherhood does to you!! :) And I don't have any new pictures of Owen, can you believe it!!! I need to be better with that, never thought I would say that either! He is getting so BIG! His little face is filling out and he is getting chunks on him :) :) and of course, getting taller! My favorite thing is he SMILES all the time, talks & giggles, and looks at me right in the eye when he does it; it just melts my heart every time! The past three nights, Owen has given his mommy the best gift of all...7-8 hours of SLEEP!!!!! He has been sleeping from about 9 p.m. to 4-5 a.m. without getting up or needing to feed...I know I might have just jinx it by telling you all, but oh well! It is especially nice because I have been super sick the past three days...it started out as just a cold, but I know it is a sinus infection now...I went today and got a Neti Pot, something Dr. Oz :) said could be used to clear up the sinuses...I am trying to avoid antibotics because I am breastfeeding and don't want to give that to Owen. I tried the Neti Pot this morning with help from my mom, and it really felt good, and flushed out all that gross stuff from my nose. I am just going to try and take it easy today and see if it helps...if not, off to the Dr. I will go. The worst part of being sick is I can't kiss and cuddle on Owen as much as I want, especially being my last week of maternity leave :( :( But luckily he has his daddy, aunts, and grandparents that have been doing a lot of that for me :)

Even not feeling well, I have been trying to go to my Stroller Fit class at least twice a week, it is nice b/c my sister, Erin, and I get to spend that time together and then usually go eat or run errands together after class, so I have been spending more time with Macy and Cole as well :) something I am grateful about, even with our crazy life now, at least I am getting to spend more time with family and friends.

My other "son", Guinness, had a rough week last week...I noticed he was chewing on himself, and he chewed a patch of hair off his backside, and it got infected! :( SO off to the vet we went, and the vet said that it most likely started from the dry grass here in IN, but our current stressful situation is also taking a toll on him, so the vet said he probably kept chewing b/c he is anxious. So he is on some medication that seems to be working...poor guy!

Nothing really new on the house except we had more showings...but no offers yet :( we lowered the price slightly, so we are hoping that brings in more buyers....but who knows! We went up there this past weekend, always nice to be home. Our house has been on the market now for 7 weeks...but it feels like forever.

Ryan's job is going well, he has been traveling and having overnight stays A LOT, but it is b/c he is still getting use to the new position and trying to meet and greet all his new clients, so hopefully it will calm down a little soon. I start my new job next Wednesday, and will be working MWF, I am anxious about getting back into work, my brain literally feels like mush, but hopefully I will get into a new routine quickly and everything will come back to me! Well, that is basically what has been going on, kinda therapeutic typing it out...Hope everything is going well with you all, and I am excited for the holidays to see everyone again, and the best part, FINALLY meet my nephew, Connor :) :)
