New New New

So, it's been a while since I wrote last...probably a good thing.:)  A lot has been going on over here...not anything too big, just a lot.  We got satellite TV today...and I'm super excited!  FINALLY!! :)  We finally gave in...and I'm watching one of my favorite shows right now: Criminal Minds.:)  It took forever for them (the technician had to call in someone to help) to hook everything up, but we have a DVR also, so we can watch our shows when we want to, now.  Anyway, enough about that!

We moved Jazzy into her own room last week.  Its going great!  She hasn't had any problems with it.  It probably helps that since the beginning we had her in her own bed, but in our room.  We also set up her crib and she's sleeping in that.  I set it up all cute and I love how sweet she looks sleeping in it.:)

How cute is that?!  She's so sweet.:)  But, tonight she has been crying in her sleep.  And I don't mean just whimpering.  I mean full on crying with tears and everything.  I hope she's not having nightmares.:(

Jazzy also fed herself the other day.  I picked carrots, so that they would show up better.  Take a look:

She didn't do too badly for her first time:)  She didn't like the carrots much, but she liked them mixed into rice cereal...so there's something!  She's doing really well with solids.  No allergies yet, but I haven't been too adventurous when it comes to that...there will be plenty of time to add more before her first birthday.  I've been reading that pureed meat is the best first meal...weird!  Anyway...

We're all sick...again!  I just don't think that we are going to be well all winter...but, we will see.  There are so many things going on right now that we just don't have time to slow down and get enough rest...like me staying up so late talking to you guys.:)  Maybe after the holidays...hopefully!

On a different note, I went in to see the doctor on a follow up for the car accident.  She said that I may have lifetime problems with it, that I need to ice it everyday after a lot of activity, and that I have to wear a new brace...yippee!!  It's not as bad as the boot, but it's still uncomfortable.  She did say that I could work part-time cutting hair if I wanted to, but I don't wanna leave the love-bug yet.:)  I love her too much!!!

Jazzy turned 5 months on Thursday.  She's getting so big!  I don't want her first birthday to come yet!!  I'm just really glad she hasn't started crawling yet...soon enough!   She does scoot and roll all over the place, though.:)  It's so cute!

I think that's all I have to report right now...We plan on getting some family photos done soon so we can send out a Christmas card, so if you want one, make sure I have your address (send it to me on FB).:)


Love to all!

Love is All that Matters

I love Josh Gatchet.  He is a wonderful man.  I don't know what I would do without him.  He's there with me through everything and I know he will always be there. We celebrated our one year anniversary yesterday.  It was wonderful! 

My sister, Lindsey, and her fiance, Bryan, watched Jazzy for us all day so we could spend some time with just the two of us.  It was fantastic!  We rented a movie, made lunch, and just sat back and relaxed at home.  I haven't been at our house without Jazzy since she was born.  It was a little weird.  I kept expecting to hear her start crying from the other room.  We then went out to dinner and then picked little Jazzy up.  We also picked up the top tier of our wedding cake from my grandparent's house so we could eat some when we got home.  It was still partially frozen, but still good.:)

Today I spent the day setting up our new wireless Internet, new phone line, and ordering cable!!!  Yay!  One more week and I will not be able to turn my TV off.:)  I'm not sure how I survived this long without it.  Josh spent the day at work...I can't really go into details, but he was not a happy camper when he came home.  He's sick, which just makes things worse.  He's been asleep for about an hour, off and on.  Jazzy slept most of the day, which made mine easier, except for the fact that I'm getting sick and I'm tired, too.  But, oh well...no rest for the Mommies or Wives, right? 

In light of yesterday being my anniversary, I was just re-reading the vows I wrote for our wedding.  I wouldn't change them for anything...well, maybe to add some stuff, but not take any of it away.  I will always love Josh Gatchet, and I wouldn't want it any other way.  :)

Trick or Treat!

Yesterday was Jazzy's first Halloween.  She was very sweet, despite being sick.:(  We went to see my parents and Josh's parents to show of Jazzy in her cuteness.:)  They loved it!  Jazzy loved Josh's parent's dog, Taffy.  Taffy would bark and Jazzy would just laugh so much!  It was great!  I have never heard her laugh that much before.  She also laughed at Dwayne (Josh's dad) making farm animal noises, particularly the donkey. 

We didn't do too much yesterday...just moved a little bit more of our stuff back into the house.  We were going to be moving, but it seems to be a long way off now (we are switching units with our landlord) and are tired of living out of boxes.

We are also moving stuff around so Jazzy can have her own room soon!  Josh and I are excited about that!  I hate tossing in bed (I don't sleep well) and almost waking her up all the time.  And every time she tosses, so does Josh.  It's just not working for us anymore.

Today, Josh went back to work for the week and Jazzy and I were alone for the morning.  She was worse today and so today was somewhat difficult.  But, we survived and we went to Costco to get diapers.  How is it that when you buy size 1-2, you get 216 diapers for $30, but when you move up to size 3, you get 212 diapers for $40?!  Seriously?!  Dumb.


Also, I have to mention that today is my dear friend's birthday, and I just want to point out that fact and wish KT a happy birthday on here, too! :)  Love you, friend!

 

Well, I better sign off.  I'm hopefully going to get one of the videos I took of Jazzy laughing at Taffy up here tomorrow, but I have to find the cord to upload it first.;)  But, let me leave you with a little treat:

Goodnight, all!  Sleep well with lovely dreams!  Tomorrow I am going to talk more about my Love, Josh.:)
