throwing up of the mind

I really don't know what this post will be about or when I will have to cut myself off because of a crying child - I just felt like blogging - so just hold your breath and we'll see what my mind comes up with.
Gabriella has sprouted TWO teeth recently. I felt like a horrible mother of three - I wasn't even the one that noticed that she had teeth - my friend Callie did. After she said it, I about fell over and couldn't believe I hadn't noticed her teething. After thinking about it, it started to make sense that she was drooling like crazy, and loved biting on the frozen toys - yes, I know, obvious clues...that's just what it is like to have three. I am pretty sure that I have it written down when Austin's gums maybe started to turn pink in hopes that he would get his first tooth in a few months...ha! Gabriella is amazing! She is such a great baby - and she's even better now that she is loving playing with toys (eating toys is more like it) and she is rolling all over the place. She growing up right before my eyes and it makes me a little sad. I don't know what is in store for us in the baby department, but if this happens to be the last baby, I don't know - that makes me sad! And a little glad...maybe...baby life is rough - I look forward to no diapers and no bottles, but they're really not so bad - won't last forever, right?
Austin has finally been sleeping good again - thank goodness! How is it that my 5 month old sleeps for 13 hours straight every night, but my 2 year old can't??? Hmmmmm could it be the third child again?
I must give another shout out to my parents - shawn had to work late (I mean golf late) last night so of course they came over to help with the kiddos until they were all in bed. And not only that, after I got the last kid asleep in his bed, I came downstairs to a totally clean house - thanks to my mother. How in the world people survive having kids without family around is beyond me. Yes, I am totally and completely spoiled and not ashamed to admit it. Shawn and I got to go out on yet another date last weekend. We went to see my friend, Courtney, who just had her first baby - congrats Court and Erik!! And what a cutie pie he is - absolutely adorable - and BIG!! Ron Prince will probably be getting him into the off-season work out soon. And then Shawn and I went to dinner - it's always fun to go to dinner together with no kids, we actually get to talk without interruption or spilled milk, half the time we forget to eat!
I get to start kick-boxing again!! I can finally get back to Bally's and work out since Gabriella is old enough for the day care. VERY excited about that. Getting three years worth of baby fat gone could take awhile, but hopefully I can stick with it.
I guess that's it for today - oh yeah - check out the side bar - I finally played around and added some new stuff! Enjoy!!
Hope you are having the time of your life!!
