Wow it has been a while since I have written a blog.  I haven't been able to sit at this computer long enough to do anything.  I am a bad minti member lately LOL.  I am always so sick, but I am doing better. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow so I hope I can find out how far along I am and all that fun stuff.  I have told the family that I am pregnant so that is a load off of my shoulders.  Today Austin didn't want to sit at his high chair but on a chair  so I asked him if the baby chair was for the baby and he said yes.  He is so cute and talking so much more, trying to make sentences now.  He gets mad when he cant say what he wants.  My mother in law is taking me shopping tomorrow for maternity clothes so that is gonna be nice. I am already not fitting my clothes and i have 2 pairs of pants that are basically PJ's so I really need to get some new clothes.  I would just go the the second hand store but my mother in law is paying so she wants new.  Well I hope that all the other Minti Pregnant members are doing good.  Hey does anyone know how soon you can find out the sex of your baby? Just wondering.  Ok well I will talk to you all later.

I already know that this pregnancy is going to be different then the last.  I feel sick, I am lazy and tired and very bitch, my poor son and hubby LOL.  I am finding it very hard to handle smells, I touched my plant to see if it needed water and I smelled the soil and got an upset stomach.  I haven't thrown up thank god, I hope I don't because I am scared of it.  Sounds silly I know but I hate it and it scares me.  So enough about me and the pregnancy, lets talk about Austin.  Today in the bath was the first time he has ever had a bar of soap in his hand.  I use body wash on and the soap is normally up high so he doesn't get to it.  The soap was left low today and he got a hold of it .  He thought it was the funniest thing.  When the soap slipped out of his hand he would say "where did you go Mr Soap.  and when he got it he would say "got you slippery soap".  It was so funny and so cute, he had a blast and played with that soap for ever it was nice.  Well I should go, think I need to lie down until hubby comes home so we can go out for dinner,.  I was not feeling good to make chicken, cant stand chicken right now, just like when I was pregnant with Austin.  Talk to you all later.

I don't have any photo's of my son right now so I thought I would share my new with you all and I can do it with a picture and you all will know what the news is just by looking at it. 

Happy Foto Friday

So yesterday I started feeling sick in the afternoon and then it turn into a flu.  I was so sick, but we don't need to go into detail.  My boy friend also was sick, thank god Austin was not (knock on wood).  Then today I was still a bit sick so I was on the couch all day.  My hubby stayed home from work but he was well enough to watch Austin for the day.  It was a pretty bad potty training day.  I was on the couch and my hubby was told to make sure he uses to potty.  Well we all know how well that went, not very well.  So I hope this hasn't set us back because Austin was doing very well.   He went 2 days and two night with a dry bum and even using it with out me telling him too.  We will just have to see how he is tomorrow when it is just me and Austin again.  My hubby has no patients like most men.  It made me kinda mad because we have been working so hard on it.  Just a bit of a vent to you all so I dotn yell at hubby LOL.  Have a good night, I hope I actually get some sleep tonight so I can get back to normal and not feel like crap. 

So today was the 3rd day of potty training and Austin did so great today.  He never had one accident and he went a couple times with out me asking him or putting him on the potty.  I did have his potty in what ever room he was in and that worked great.  As the days go by I will slowly put the potty in the bathroom where it belongs.  We will find out if this is a good method or not.  I think it all depends on the child for what will work.  So my boyfriend says he can fix the washer so that makes me happy.  Not so mad about the $50 I spent.  Well I hope things go as well with Austin tomorrow as they did today, I will let you know.  Night

So we finally got are dinning room table, I am so excited.  No more eating in the living room in front of the TV, thank god.  I really enjoy the meals at the table and there will be less on my carpet when Austin eats.  We also got our washer and dryer.  We only payed $50 for the both of them, so they are old.  It will do until we can afford newer ones.  I just want to be able to do laundry when I have to and not when ever I go into town to my boy friends families houses.   I started potty training Austin yesterday.  I think it is going OK, but I don't know for sure because I have never done it.  It is really hard and I hope it gets better.  Thank god we have the washer and dryer now because he has no more clean underwear.  Well I hope all is good with you all and I will talk to you later.

I don't have any new photo's of Austin so I decided to share with pictures of my two God childen.  It isn't on paper yet that they are my god babies but it will happen LOL.  Both mothers are members on Minti.  These are my recient pictures that I love of them

Cadence (Member: Ally)

(mony83's little boy and Cadence she look each other up when they are older,

they both are always have a big smile on there faces, it is so cute)

Talia (member: portogreek)

Talis is also blood related to me, she is my cousins little girl.

I am a proud God mother as you can tell and I am so lucky to have such cute little god babies.

HOLY COW I think I am up before Ally....I got up at 6 am because of the cat, she gets hyper and trys to get me up.  Usually I kick her out of the room and shut the door but I couldn't get back to sleep.  I dont know why I cant sleep lately, maybe it is because the hubby isn't here.  I guess we will find out tonight when he is home. I hope he is not working this weekend so we can spend time together, and I know Austin will need that time with him, he really misses him I am sure.  He loves his daddy, which is nice.  Well I will be talking to you I am sure today. 

I am so excited that hubby will be home tomorrow, mayeb I will actually get a good night rest. I just cant sleep when he isn't hear. Every little nose wakes me up, I think it because normally I leave the listening to Roy he has the good ears.  Austin was sitting in the tub today and he said "today daddy visit?"  I couldn't believe it, I totally wasn't expecting it to come out if his mouth.  So I decided to get Austin a hair cut, a buzz cut to be exact.  When I told my hubby over the phone that I gave him a buzz cut he didn't sound to happy, but I think it is cute.  So has anybody noticed a surtin member who is writing advice that is causing other members to argue.  I think it is all common sence that she is writing (most of the time). Stuff that any parent should know and if not then you shouldn't have a baby.  Most of the advice is the same as older ones they have written with a different title  and a couple words are differnt.  I just think it is nuts that everyone is reacting to negative to each other because of it.  Some of the comments are harsh.  Why cant we get along LOL.  Well I will leave you with a picture of Austin with his new buzz cut, such a cute boy!!!!!!

I can tell now that he has his fathers ears.  Thank god they grow into them. LOL

Night you all, I need my sleep bye
