Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the most fucked up things with.

30 Days; Day 9

Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.

My DH. Even when deployed (this picture was taken over skype) he's there for me. I'll send him e-mail and even though he might not read them for a while it's nice to know that I can vent and he'll still get it. He gets me. We might spend time apart but he reminds me all the time that he would rather be home with me and our daughter. 

30 Days; Day 8

Day 08 - A picture that makes you laugh.

This is my daughter. One morning my husband was changing her diaper/clothes and she just sat right up and gave me this look. I'm so glad I got it on camera. She makes me laugh daily!

30 Days; Day 7

Day 07 - A picture of your most treasured item.

My Family

He tries....but it bugs me sometimes

So today I am helping my Sister-in-law out by taking her baby sitting job. Last night my husband kept saying "you need to go to bed". So I finally went to bed and of course thats when my daughter wakes up. I was still kinda awake and so was my husband, well I got out of bed to use the bathroom and when I came back my husband was holding our daughter, he was rubbing her back and patting her butt, but it wasn't helping. He wouldn't leave the room either. (We are staying at my parents house currently and our daughter is in a pack n play in the same room as us; no big deal really.) Well she is not calming down and he finally lays her next to me on the bed, gets up, and walks out of the room. I checked her diaper and is was loaded! So I changed her and redressed her, my husband walks in and gives me a look that said "I was dealing with this what gives". Well he gives her a bottle and puts her back to bed.

While I really do appreciate that he was helping, he was really dragging out the process. When she wakes up in the middle of the night she needs a new diaper and a bottle. But then he gets frustrated that I get out of bed...but I can't just lay there and listen to her scream because she's not use to him getting up with her.....well at least he's trying right?

What a day!

First...what the heck Similac! Beetles in my daughters formula?! And NOT informing the places your product is sold!! So I found out about the recall on Babycenter Community. I went to the Similac website and sure enough I had 2 recalled tubs. The tubs...not the containers...I have 2 24oz tubs!! I had 48oz of non-usable powdered formula....fan-freaking-tastic! On the website it said to take the back to the store or contact the company and get a refund in 4-6 weeks! 4-6 WEEKS?! My kiddo is a chunker, I need it now! So I took my tubs to Walmart and they know NOTHING about the recall...good job! I called and told them I had tubs that has been recalled "oh no problem bring them in" so I did! Well the manager I spoke to said "I dont have proof so you can't return them" Walmart didn't have in their system that the formula was recalled! So I'm standing there pulling up on my iPhone the Similac website to prove to them that I wasn't lying! So I pull up the website and the guy looks at it and then tells me "maybe you should find what you are talking about" WHAT!? IT SAYS POWDERED FORMULA RECALL! So after more arguing with him he finally lets me turn in the powdered formula and get liquid....UGG!!

Second my poor daughter has the butt rash from hell! It was bleeding this morning!! She has been red for a few days and I have been putting cream on it to help her but this morning it was BLEEDING! my poor baby.

so between the formula and the rash I made her a dr's appointment for the morning to talk to them about it, she has also been having bad diarrhea, and spitting up...NOT like her!

Day 1

Well I'm starting a blog. I normally have a lot to say so why not just write it down? My daughter is currently sleeping and the hubby is at work so I have some time to bs. I'm 22 (almost 23 and that's a little scary!) I'm still in school because my life happened out of order but I would never change that. I met my husband in July of 2006, we got married in July of 2008 and our daughter was her daddy's welcome home from deployment present in April 2010.

School is driving me nuts and I can't wait to take a break! I have 3 weeks left!! Then I have a break until January, which will be nice. I tried the visiting family and doing homework bit in July and it didn't go well. I never get to see my family. Hubby is military and we live in Spokane, Washington while our families live in Pittsburgh, PA. I didn't get much homework done while I was visiting. We are going back to visit for a month in the last fall so I figured I don't need to stress myself out anymore.I already hate packing, and then have to worry about 3 different airports with a baby, although this trip in the fall will be much less stressful since my hubby will be with me (in July it was just my and the baby...crazy!!) I have homework that I should be doing but I have a gut feeling that once I start my darling daughter will wake up and want attention, thats my life, without fail I sit down to eat and she wants attention....but it's hard to be mad at her, she is just so flipping cute!!

Time to do laundry and other chores....bleck...I really hate dusting anyone want to do that one for me?!
