What's going on?

[Fingers not typing.]  

That's weird.   I went to write a blog entry and have so much running through my mind that I don't know where to begin.  Hmmm...

Well, let's begin with everyone's favorite subject on this blog- Ella bug.  :)  Bug is almost 6 weeks old come Saturday and she is beginning to interact a lot more (as much as a two month old can, anyway).  Why, just the other day she stayed awake for 4 hours and she was even crying!  I'm amazed by how grown up she already is! :P

The other night I received a phone call from work around 8pm.  I thought to myself, "Who's calling me at 8pm?'  It was my boss.  She said she was just thinking of me, but she seemed kind of sad.  So I asked her how things were going.  She responded with, "When are you coming back again?"  [Not a good sign.]  Although I love being home with Bug, I do miss work.  Well, maybe not so much the work, but having some adult conversation...or any conversation for that matter...just having someone respond to me.  I've been home with the baby for 5 1/2 weeks and to be honest, it's tough talking to someone who can't talk back to you (in words, anyway...screaming she can do just fine).  

What's going on with Dad?  Funny you should ask because I don't have much of a clue.  Since the baby's been born, he went from very minimal work, to too much.  Weird how God answers your prayers, right?  Daddy is still busy working late and Bug and I are very thankful to my parents for 1-keeping Mommy company 2-putting  Bug to bed and 3-bringing dinner!  (Nope, I have not perfected cooking in between feedings yet.  Grand total of dinners I've made since the baby has been born- 5...maybe.  I'm getting better, though.)

Bug has had many firsts since the last blog update, some them include taking a trip to Daddy's work to meet the TetraTech team.  Here are some photos...


This is Tammy.  She's been my mommy-to-be counselor throughout my pregnancy.  She has information about everything mommy related.  <3

Another first for Bug was getting to meet my grandparents (Papang and Mamang).  They ADORE her...if "adore" can even begin to describe how they feel.



Thanks to the hubs for wanting to capture 4 generations.  Love this.

New developments in the Dressler family:
1-Bug has decided that she likes to sleep with one arm up and out of her swaddle...for every nap.

2-When McKayla gets hyper and runs around the house, she makes a special run around Bug's co-sleeper and meows incessantly.  This is new.  

3-McKayla sleeps in the living rom to avoid the cries at night.  I'm not sure how much more sleep she's getting.  We live in an apartment.   

4-When Bug turned 1 month old, she decided she would like to stay up late and not go to bed until 12am.  How many nights has this occurred?  Can't even count 'em.  She still sleeps until 5:30am, but still.  I'd like to get to bed earlier.  

That's all for now, folks.  The babe cries...must be feeding time. :)

God Bless, 
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
