My house

Hello all!  So I know my layout isn't very good considering you'll read this first and then have to scroll down for pictures of my house.  but oh well.  So I decided to take you all on a tour of my home.  It's little but has character.  My husband and I are really starting to love our house it's just the days of edition living get old fast and our neighbors are fine it's just the both of us grew up out in the country dan had neighbors and was in an extremely small town where as I had one neighbor it was my grandpa and a corn field separated the two of us.  When the corn grew tall we couldn't see his house.  The town I'm from was 3/4 of a mile away from us that was all our driveway.  So to say the least I feel slightly congested most of the time.  Anyway enjoy our home as we do we have an office but its kind of a catch all and isn't pretty.  I hope this encourages my friends to put pictures of their homes up so I can know what you all live like.  Oh we also have a laundry room but it's a laundry room!  We are working on our outside and I would show you what we've done but my camera is dead so when it's charged I'll be back to post those.

Another post from work

I'm at work right now, waiting for the clock to hurry up so I can check my baby's for the last time and see the bright and happy faces of day shift! I make myself laugh because one of my baby's is rocking out to the backstreet boys right now! Things I have to accomplish this week, )note to all it is Thursday already) clean my whole house. Sunday is the big Tupperware party and I invited mostly family and I don't want them to think because I already know I'm not good at housekeeping. Then I have to pack because we are going to Cincinnati on Friday and coming home Sunday just before the tupperware party which will stress me out a little but it's all paid for so I do not have much choice. I do have a story to share with all of you about my Jacob! I got up from my nap about 1145 which is later than usual but I was working 2 in a row. So I get up and Jake's sleeping so I tell Dan's grandma she can go ahead and leave and I went back to bed. 20 minutes later he is awake so I bring him in bed with and turn his portable DVD player on and I'm laying still dozing in and out. I don't know how long I was asleep but I open my eyes and Jake is eyeball to eyeball with me and I notice this funny sensation on my nose my son was sucking on my nose. I laughed so hard I nearly wet myself and he's just smiling his big 1 toothed smile at me so I assumed we should get up because he was obviously bored!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mom's out there! Enjoy your day! I hope you get to spend it with the ones you love! I am going home after work and getting a little nap and then my mother and aunt are coming to help us make a patio in our backyard. I will have pictures when done! Before and after shots. I have a cute baby story of course it involves my son! I was leaving to go to work a couple of nights ago and I was telling him goodbye. Jake was standing on my husbands tummy while Dan was holding Jake by his sides and I lean forward to kiss him and Jake turns his head to where his mouth is on my mouth and his hands are on my ears and he gives me a big open mouth kiss for probaly a good 10 seconds until he let me go! It was sweet, cute and funny. I love my baby!

Working!

I'm at work again right now. Wishing I were at home w/ my baby and my husband and sort of even kind of missing my dog too. I'm kind of bummed out. I really do enjoy my job, I'm one of the few people I know that actually like's their job. The journey that these babies go on and we get to see it right before our very eyes is so cool to me. But this time at night when I'm beyond exhausted I just want to leave and go home. Watch Jake sleep for a while and crawl in bed with my husband. But knowing I get to do that tomorrow night helps make the night go a little better. Jake can now roll from his back to his belly and belly to his back. He's trying every day to sit up and getting stronger and stronger. His tooth is coming it feels like he's been teething forever, we can finally see white. Speaking of teething, my wisdom teeth keep pushing there way through and now I'm in a nice constant dull pain and can not open my mouth all that wide as well as my ear hurts. I wish I had a vacation coming up. I have to work this weekend even though it is with some of my favorite people I feel like I miss out on a lot. With my husband and son up and awake and me sleeping. Many of you working mom's out there did you or do you feel like you just suck? I feel that way a lot. I try putting Jake in his saucer to play and swing or on the floor w/ his videos and then at night time I feel like I spent no quality time w/ him. I need to start reading to him again so I feel like I'm already putting him behind. I don't know maybe it's just being a new mom and trying to figure out how to balance everything out but some days I feel like I suck at this.

Finally Something!

Hello, it's been a long time! I did do some stuff, granted not a whole lot. Now that I know about the pictures and stuff here at work I may be able to keep up a little better. With work being so slow right now! I know some of the songs on my playlist don't work, and I hope it's free i'm getting kind of nervous now that it may not be!

Jacob Scott Duchemin

Another man has stolen my heart: Jacob Scott. He's the best! I can't believe he is already 12 weeks old. He was born on his due date, rare, December 2, 2007 at 8:06pm. He came in weighing a whopping 9# 11 oz. and 23 inches long. To all of you who saw me in my last month can believe that quite easily. My water ended up breaking which is what sent me into labor. My parents decided they were going to take my husband and I out to dinner on the 2nd, because I was going to be induced on the 3rd. Needless to say I had to clean my house before my parents came. I was vaccuuming and was wrapping up the cord and bent over and felt a pop. This was at 12:30. I told Dan my water broke and he said, oookkkkayyyy..., and then we headed to the hospital. My contractions started about 15 minutes after my water broke. Dan was calm until in the car we were timing my contractions and the started out at 4 minutes apart. About an hour and a half to 2 hours later I got my epidural THANK GOD!!!. It was basically smooth sailing after that. I pushed for about 40 minutes and out he came! And he had hair. That was what I really wanted along with a healthy baby and healthy me!

Work

I've been back at work for almost 4 weeks now. I'm at work right now. I still love my job, I really do, but it's no where near the top of my priority list, anymore. My hands are cracked open and hurt anytime I wash them or put the hand sanitizer on them. My car has to be scraped off in the morning. I'm trying to not work back to back shifts, so for anyone who has worked nights knows that I'm exhausted all the time because working every other day I never know if I'm coming or going. As much as I enjoy the adult interaction at work; all I want to do is stay at home w/ my Jakey and my husband. I always tell Jake before I leave to smile for mommy, to be good for daddy and to NOT laugh or roll over, then I tell daddy to lie to me if he does these things anyway because it will be heartbreaking if I'm not there to see/hear it. I try and tell myself that it is only 12 hours and he'll be asleep most of the night. It still sucks though!
