Udderly painful

I decided that I would stop nursing Alexander. Today is day five and there has been little relief. I will say that "the girls" are not as tender as the first couple of days, but they still aren't normal yet. I am ready to be back to normal again. More than you wanted to know? Sorry.

What's going on?

Nothing much over here. Just the normal day to day routine. I am missing my Ben, he will be home sometime on Friday. I am happy for the 3 day holiday weekend. We have a whole lotta nuthin planned. Just going to relax and have some fun family time. I am hoping that the weather will cooperate and we can get some pool time in. I love that the weather is warming up, I am totally a summer girl. I need the hot air and the bright sun light. It puts me in a good mood, believe it or not.

We have decided that Alexander's first birthday party will be on July 12. Save the date, because you all are invited. We don't know where it will be but we want to be able to invite everyone we know. Ben and I really enjoy getting all of our friends and family together. It doesn't really need to be for anything specific. Just for talking, laughing, eating, and catching up on some social time.

I plan on taking lots of pictures from now on, so get ready. My new mission is to document my kids from day to day rather than just the big events. The little things are what we remember into adulthood and I want to help them to remember.

Bye bye!

My boy said bye bye tonight AND he was waving when he said it. Who knows, you might even get to see video of it! ;)

Credit card companies are stupid.

Remember when I told you about being debt free? Well, the last payment that I made was to CitiCard. I paid the remaining balance online. I waited for the transaction to clear the bank so that I could call and cancel the account. Once I was on the phone with the csr, they assured me that I would get a statement as usual showing the final payment and a zero balance. Well I haven't! I logged on to check my balance and print out a statement, and guess what I saw!! I had a credit of $52.06 on my closed account. I called again to ask them how I ended up with a credit and no one could tell me. They said that I had overpaid on the account. who does that?? I didn't even type in the payment amount. I just clicked on the tab that said pay in full. Anyway, they are going to mail a check to the house for the amount of the credit. Why didn't they do that anyway? Aren't they happy to assist me? Wasn't I a preferred customer. Whatever. Glad to be done with them.

100%

Alexander went in for his 9 month check up on Monday. He weighs 25 pounds, 13 ounces and is 31 inches long. He is the 100th percentile on height and weight. His doctor came in laughing and said that she shouldn't be so surprised that he's so big since she's seen my other kiddos. :) Here's a picture that we took last week. I love him, he's my boy.

My new favorite song.
