a midwest nest

alright, so i love having the privilege of staying home and being a housewife and mother. i seriously cannot ask for more...well...i can, but i wont. :)

Jeff is almost done with classes! woot woot! he has a pretty bad case of senioritis. if you know how jeff usually is with his studies, this is quite comical. but i dont necessarily think it's all senioritis. this happens, or has happened every spring semester that i can remember. He's got a month or so left of class and all of a sudden he's skipping a class here, not doing the homework for a class there, and not really studying much..or, trying to study. it's hilarious! i absolutely love it cause i am like that all the time! He's pretty pumped to be done with school. and so are roman and i! there is a great opportunity for an internship too! it involves him kind of co-owning a personal training studio with his current boss. there are far more details than i would like to cover in this blog, so if you want to know them, just call him :). I hope he will soon be able to breath easier. The weather is awesome, it's almost summer (well, sort of) and in the fall jeff only has that internship to finish then he's DONE FOREVER!!! So amazing.

Roman is huge (as if no one knew). But seriously, huge. since his 4 month appointment 2 WEEKS AGO, i'm pretty sure he's gained 2 pounds....or at least 1. we're going to need to bump him up to his 'big kid' carseat prolly this month. He's so much fun too. he's talking so much now, and really interacts with you. seeing as how the weather is awesome pretty much the rest of the week, the 3 of us are going to go on a walk tomorrow, and then Rome and I will go on one the rest of the days w/o daddy (cause dad is a hard worker...thanks dad!!). I also think i've figured out a temporary solution to Roman's sleeping...just hold him. haha! But really, if I hold him for a while before i attempt to put him down...totally sleeps for another hour in his crib. and as far as bedtimes go...i had the brilliant idea of taking him, duh, upstairs where we all sleep and lay with him until he falls alseep! it really doesnt take long at all, and the best part? no crying. Except when he woke up last night around 10pm (went to sleep at 8) hungary. now, jeff and i did not expect him to be hungary because he had already had dinner just a couple hours prior. oh my goodness. saddest crying ever. So, i tried feeding him, but just pumped, so i was a little dry i guess. I made jeff run, yes run, downstairs to get the milk i just pumped...about 3 oz. he chugged it, and was still hungary. so jeff ran downstairs again, and defrosted another 3 oz. this time i looked at the clock to see how fast he would down it. yep, 2 minutes. and then it's like he never woke up. he instantly fell back asleep. i was, and still am, baffled! i really do think his teeth are bugging him. He hasn't been sleeping well lately at all...but then again, he did poop this morning! :) makes a momma proud.

this will be a short post, i'm done thinking for the day!

oh yeah...orange crush soda has 83 grams of sugar in a 20 oz. wish i would have known that before i drank it.
