Struggling...

Hope someone is there to pick me up when I fall.....I have been falling, and falling...wondering when I will finally hit the ground...

Missing my best friend, missing my life..

I just want Mason to have a good life, and sometimes I feel like that isn't going to happen, with the things I have been delt..

I start school May 18th, I went and registered today, hoping that will help with things..

Dad's Birthday Party!

I planned Dad a surprise party to start off with about a month ago, but of course Dad found out! Everyone didn't show up because of the weather last night, but we still had a great time.. I had to tend to Mason the whole time though, (that's why there isn't many pics) bc he started teething!! Happy Birthday Daddy!

Prayers..

Can you please keep me in your prayers this week, because I am going through a tough time...Thank you so much :) Love you all!

Smiling Baby!!

Mason LOOOOVES to smile now! He is 11 weeks old already! I can't believe it :) I just love it the older he gets, and the more stuff he learns to do. His favorite song for me to sing to him right now is the song that starts off "Oh, I've got a baby bumble bee..." He just starts beaming and cooing, it is the cutest thing EVER!
He also just LOVES bathtime, I think it is his favorite part of the day! I think he loves to be naked haha, and splash around in the water, and have playtime in a different place other than the living room!

More shots!!! :(

Friday I took Mason to the doctor to get 2 more shots (they only gave him 1 last time), and last time was great for me and Mason because he didn't even realize he was getting a shot and didn't cry at all!
This time, Mason was already adgitated from having to be dressed and un-dressed twice (he peed all over the place when they took his temp.) and on top of that it was waaay past nap time. So, when it was finally time for the shots he was MAD! When they gave them to him this time, he cried a cry I have never heard before, and my heart BROKE!!! That is the saddest thing I have ever gone through in my LIFE!
And, he has to get his 4 month old shot at the end of March :( Not so excited to go back there...Also, for those of you who don't have babies yet, the shots make them sick and VERY fussy, no fun! especially when I have been sick too the past week! Yuck! Now, I remember why I hated to go to the doctor so much when I was little!!!

Daddy's idea of watching Mason....

The other morning while Brandon was in town, I was getting ready for the day, and Mason was up, so Brandon was watching him while I showered and what-not. I finished getting ready, and this was the sight in my living room... Brandon and Mason "playing" Xbox.. I told Mason not to feel bad, I fall asleep watching him play Xbox too!! haha

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Nana "Sunshine" bought Mason this adorable onsie before he was even born, and I thought it fit in well with Valentines Day!

2 months old Pics!

Here are some pics of Mason and I, he is 2 months and 1 week old today :)

Mason is sleeping through the night!!!

Our little angel is FINALLY sleeping through the night, thanks to a perfect schedule set by ME!!!! He gets a bath around 6:30 and is in bed by 7:30, until about 7am the next morning. Thank you Jesus!
I just kept praying every day for God to either give me the strength throughout the day to get by with only a couple hours of sleep, or to get my little Mason to sleep through the night. And, I'm glad he answered my prayers :) It makes life so much easier, and I am in SUCH a better mood in the mornings. I definetly am loving Mason getting older. He keeps getting more fun the older he gets.

My First Sewing Machine!!

Today my wonderful Father bought me my very first Singer sewing machine!! I have already done a baby blanket for Mason (I will post a pic soon!) and I got the pattern for a cute tote bag and the fabric for it today at Hancock Fabrics.
It was so funny seeing my Dad walking around Hancock Fabric carrying around fabrics for me and getting them measured! Both of us were totally clueless in there, but all the lovely people shopping helped us out!
I am starting sewing classes on February 9th!! I am totally excited :)
This is a pic of my first tote bag I sewed the other day!! It isn't perfect, but it's a start!

Reaching & Grabbing

Mason is now reaching and grabbing his toys!!! So exciting to watch him hit all his milestones, and watch him grow everyday!! I just LOVE it :)

2 month old Shots Today!

Mason got his 2 month old shots today, and exactly 2 months ago today, he was born!! Yay! I was freaking out, and praying to God for Him to give me the strength to be strong for Mason if he started hysterically crying, or if I could tell he was in pain..It's hard enough doing everything by myself. When you throw in shots for my baby..not good!! haha
So, while Mason and I waited for Dr. Guerkink, I prayed that Mason would not feel any pain, and that I wouldn't either. She came in with needle in hand! I asked if I could hold him while she stuck him, and she said of course. She gave him the shot, and not even a wimper came from him!!! He was just steady sucking his bo bo (pacifier)!! So, I thank God for Mason really not feeling any pain today!!!!!
