Seriously guys. No bloggage in, well, forever! It's been at least a few months. So pathetic!
This blog wont have one ounce of complaint in it because I'm so excited to be pregnant.. but you know how the first trimester is. You feel really depressed, overly exhausted and just ugly and blah, not to mention the lack of appetite. So can I use this as my excuse for not blogging? I've not had the best of things to blog about.
Anyways, as of today. I'm 11 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Wahooo almost 3 months, and with another week that kick starts me into the second trimester and better feeling days!
I'm so excited to be having two babies only 16 months apart.. they will be buddies! What I'm not excited about is how hard it will be. But hey, the best things in life don't come easy!
Lately I've been so critical, angry and I think way too hard into things. This must be the pregnancy thinking.. because I feel as this all hit me 3 or 4 weeks after I got pregnant.. oh the same time the other symptoms made their way into my perfect life.
Now, for more onto happy measures. Hudson and I were and are making sugar cookies. The batter is cooling in the fridge so we can roll them and cook and decorate them!
He loves the batter.. yes, this is bad. But hey, he only weighs 18.5 pounds, I thought a bit of extra fatty foods can't hurt him. He sure loved it!
I'm sure struggling with disciplining him though. My thoughts were a firm spank on the hand and a firm NO. This however, does not seem to be working.. at first it did, for the first 2 weeks.. now he just wants to press my buttons.. he honestly could care less if I spank him on the hand, as it really doesn't hurt that much. I have kind of been shouting 'NO' now.. but that doesn't do anything.
So, as of now.. he's having his first time out in his crib. But I can't do this either as every time he goes down for a nap he will think he's having a time out.. or vise versa.
So complicated!
I might just try ignoring him as I think my shouting and hand spanking just makes him want to do things he's not allowed, more.
If you're a mom who's kids have grown up.. please do not laugh. hehe... I know this all sounds funny to you, but hey. It's all a learning experience!
Anyways, those are my thoughts for today and I will honestly try to write more.

Jess,
I found that ignoring the bad behavior when they are young worked really good for us. Usually they act out for attention, negative or not, and by even saying
"NO!" it's giving them attention. Unless they are doing something dangerous then intervene but if they are just pushing your buttons ignore and then distract them with a toy or something. Then when they are around 2 and a half or 3 they start getting the time outs.
