Birth control, shots, and School

Welp, I did it! Im in the clear for at least 5 years!!! This past friday I got it put in. I know alot of people are against birth control but for me, I don't really like worrying all the time if I'm pregnant or not. Although I am happy with the outcome, surprises make for stressful pregnancies. I realized that I am really no good with taking the pill. I can never remember to do it even if I set an alarm or something. So with mirena I dont have to worry...EVER! It was very quick and painless. I had heard some horror stories so by the time I got to the dr office I was shaking, literally. But, it went really quick and the next thing I knew I was on my way out. (: So needless to say I am pretty darn excited! Mike I want to have a ton of kids just not right now. 

Our friends Patrick and Julia had us over for a swimming/dinner get together on Saturday.  So we put Adelaide in her swimsuit and sunglasses and headed for the pool!!! (: We quickly found out that they don't make swimmers diapers in her size. You have to be at least 16lbs. BOO!!! So she couldnt really get in the water with us. We dipped her little feet and legs in the warm baby pool and she seemed to be okay with it.

We did family pictures after church this past Sunday. We had some friends who have a family photography business that did them for us. I am so excited to see them! We have to wait about a week to get them but I am really excited! I hope they turn out good because it was 90 degrees and like 80% humidity when we did them. So we were all sweating like crazy and gnats kept getting in our eyes and stuff. Adelaide for some reason didn't like doing pictures at all. I felt like most of the time we spent calming her down to get like one shot of us. It was tough but I think we got at least 20 good ones. I will definitely post them when we get them!

Yesterday I had to take Adelaide to the doctor. It was her 2 month checkup. The dreaded dr appointment where she gets her shots! It was crazy! I had to feed her right before the appointment which was at 10 15. So I ended up being 15 minutes late! Then it was super busy there but thankfully they got me in right away. They weighed her, measured her and checked her lungs, ears, blah blah blah. Well Adelaide has been scratching her face a ton lately so I asked the doctor about that and she said that Adelaide has eczema. :( She said its just really dry and that it bothers her because it's itchy. She has it on her face, behind her ears, and on her chest. So I had to switch shampoo and lotion and got a prescription for her. I was using Johnson's shampoo and lotion which is only like 3 bucks with my Kroger card, BUT I had to buy Aveeno. And that was 5-6 bucks with my Kroger card! It's ridiculous how much baby stuff can be! Thankfully insurance covered Adelaide's prescription because that was almost $50! So after she told me that I felt terrible because this whole time I thought she had allergies. Well, then it came time for her shots! And she has had a couple before but it wasn't terrible. I could calm her down pretty easily after it happened. Well she had two shots, one in each leg. And I have never seen her cry like that before. It absolutely broke my heart! Her face went all red, and she didn't even make a noise because she was crying so hard. I was holding her hands and trying to comfort her and she just was so mad and hurt. And me being such a bawl baby started crying with her! I felt so helpless and I knew it hurt her. It was awful. Well then she had to do the second one and the guy did it as soon as I got her calmed down from the first one. So I had to calm her down again which took alot longer. It was absolutely awful. I think next time Mike should take her to get her shots. So about 10 minutes later I finally got her calmed down but she was just so sad the rest of the day. She was really sensitive. If I looked at her wrong she would start to fuss. :(  I hate shots!!!! Needless to say she was pretty sleepy the rest of the day. 

This weekend Michael is leaving for two whole weeks! He has annual training for the Marine Corp on Saturday and it's all the way in California! :( So he is going to be gone on the 4th. What am I gonna do?! We haven't been apart for a holiday before!  So he leaves early early saturday morning and then comes back on the 13th of July. I feel really bad for him because where he is going it isnt supposed to go below 100 degrees the whole time he is there. Poor thing. "MARINE COR!!!!"

Michael finally got to register for classes for BYU-Idaho!!! YAY!!!! This whole moving thing is finally feeling real! We are both so ready and very excited to move out there! I miss Idaho so much!

Fathers Day

Fathers Day!!!! I had such a fun time planning and preparing for Michael's first Father's Day! We are on a pretty tight budget so I had to do something a little bit different than I would normally do. I was looking for weeks in advance on the web for different DIY fathers day gifts. I found this interesting thing called Pinterest!! LOL I am always on that website looking for new crafts to do or new meals to make. Well I found this cute little craft called 52 Things I Love About You and I decided that I would do that. Well I didn't feel like that was good enough so I also found another idea with a tie. Now Mike has TONS of ties but I just couldnt help myself on this idea. So When Nana came into town we both went out and got all the stuff for these little projects I decided to do. Now I am NOT creative in anyway but I thought I could try these and see how they turn out.
 With the 52 Things project I got a deck of cards, d-rings, cardstock, and address labels. I printed out 52 things I love about Mike on the address labels and stuck one on each card. I also printed out a couple of wallet size pictures of us to put on the beginning and end card. I think it turned out pretty good for me!! I was so excited to give it to Michael because I worked pretty hard on it.
With the tie, I just bought a white tie, fabric paint, and fabric pens. My mom came over one day and helped me paint and then stamp Adelaide's feet on the tie. I was going to do hands also but she would not unclench those suckers!! All in all I thought both of these projects turned out pretty good. (:
So Father's Day morning Adelaide woke us up at around 7 45. I fed her and then hurriedly started making Michael's breakfast. I didn't think I would have enough time to get ready, feed Addi, make bfast, bathe Addi, and do Father's Day presents before church. So I made Michael sausage, eggs, and chocolate chip pancakes with Cran-cherry juice. (: While he ate I brought up my presents for him. The bad thing he knew exactly what he was getting. :( Oh well....I still tried. I just can't hide anything from him!! He wore his tie to church and everyone loved it! It just so happened that he was giving a talk that day too! So it was noticed a little bit more. After church we headed straight over to my parents house to celebrate Father's day over there. We had a delicious dinner and fun times! Sadly Addi and I weren't feeling very well so we headed home a little early. But we still had a good day! (:

We also decided to go on a shopping spree for Adelaide. There is a consignment store here called Once Upon A Child and it seriously is the best thing ever! I don't know why I ever shopped anywhere else!! We bought her a bunch of winter clothes for the move to Idaho and a pair of shoes, sunglasses, and a Bumbo seat! I have been wanting a bumbo seat for a while now but they are just too expensive. Well at this store it was only 20 bucks!! So we of course bought it!

So Adelaide has started cooing and partially squeeling! Usually after she is fed she will just talk like crazy! It's so cute!!! I just love her so much! We have her 2 month check-up on Monday which I am not excited about because she will be getting shots this time and I hate that! She is growing up so fast!!!
Well we bought a new truck!!! We traded in the Jeep for a Toyota Tundra. We are very happy with what we got! It has an automatic starter, a nice sound system, the back window rolls down and a bunch of other stuff. It is sooo nice!! We love her so much! (:

Lots of Love

So this past week I had my 6 week check up. I was a bit nervous but everything went great! I even qualified for Mirena, which I am so stoked for. Sorry, no more surprises for awhile guys. I love my baby girl to death and I will have more kids but hopefully not for at least 2 years.
Also, Nana (Grace Godell) came to visit us! Yes, we did name Adelaide Grace after her. She is one of the most kind and gentle people I know. We are so blessed to have her. She flew in on the 5th and was here until yesterday, the 10th. Sadly Mike had to work all week but I got to spend some quality time with her. It was so fun getting to know more about her and Great Dzia Dzia (jaw-jaw). I really wish I could've met him. We went shopping and we ate out alot. It was so nice to have a car and to get out of the house for a week. Adelaide did pretty good most of the days we went out. Although one day she did not wanna be anywhere but home. So that was hard but we still had a good time. We were sad to see Nana go but we had such a good time together.

A couple weeks ago we ran out of Pampers Swaddlers in size 1. But we have Luvs, and a couple of knock off brands. Well we had these ones called Pampers Swaddlers Baby Dry. I have to let everyone know, they are the worst!!! In the past 2 days Adelaide has pooped up her back at least 10 times, not including the two times when I was feeding her and it got all over my hands. It's so gross because her poo is very runny, seedy and yellow; so it stains. I just want everyone to know not to get those diapers. I thought that since it said Swaddlers on it that they would work just as good as the real ones. NO!! They hardly absorb anything too. But, we didn't wanna waste them and decided to just finish them out because we only had 30 in the package. I am happy to say that we only have a few left until we can move into a different diaper. I hope the LUVS aren't as bad. I have had bad experiences with them so we will see.
Along with being pooped on several times these past couple of days Adelaide has been spitting up all over me. Literally. It's not just a little either, its a good bit. Mike jokes around because I will be feeding her and she will start pooping, and then I can feel it all over my hands and then I will burp her over my shoulder and she slides down and then proceeds to puke all down my chest...oh lovely. Oh the joys of motherhood! No, I really love my girl she is amazing but sometimes I just get hit with everything at once. It seems like Mike gets the better end of the deal sometimes.

This was after a bath (:

Well, the time has come....to get rid of our Jeep. I have wanted her for so many years. She has been an amazing car, despite all of her dis-functions. I will miss her greatly! Mike and I have realized that buying our Jeep wasn't the best decision we have made. She needs alot of work and it's getting really expensive. Also we have realized that for some reason she is having trouble going uphill. Now, we can't have that considering that we are moving to Idaho. So we are going to buy a truck. Both mike and I have always wanted a Dodge Ram but we are figuring out that what we want may not be best for Adelaide. :( We have found a really nice one within our price range but we have also found a toyota that is well within our budget and will be really good. It's just not really what we have always wanted. But sacrifices need to be made.... :( So Mike and I are going to Roswell later to test drive this Toyota and if all goes well we will come home with a new(used) car!!!! YAY!!! We have been together for almost two years(counting the dating period) and we have already bought two cars together, this will make three. I'm so glad mike has good credit! LOL
Oh goodness how could I forget to blog about our Anniversary!!!!!! We celebrated our 1 year on the 3! It was so much fun! Mike's mom and step dad bought us a gift certificate to a place called The Chops and said they would watch Addi for us. It is a super duper nice restaurant!! Like they wipe the crumbs off the table for you nice. We had to wear sunday dress and the cheapest on the menu was 13 dollars. I tried Lobster tail for the first time. It was okay...not the best. They had the best steak I have every tasted!! Nothing will EVER compare. LOL After the dinner we decided we had time to kill and went to see Snow White and the Huntsman. That was okay. Definatly not as good as the Avengers that we went and saw the day before. We had such a good anniversary! (:

This was our bread pudding. MHMMMMM!
