Current Events

So, i got a call from the Relief society president last night. Apparently, they think im inactive now or something. They KNOW i just had a baby... anyways, now they are stopping by to visit me? im not quite sure why. I told her i would be back in Relief society as soon as jonas starts to maybe sleep at night. lol. but i think this visit is just her excuse to come to the house and see the baby and comiserate with me and tell me stories of when she was a young mother. Oh what fun! :p

Yesterday was my first day back at work... I'm only going back part time so i only have to work 2 days a week in the office for 5 hours. It went surprisingly well. Natalie (nicks sister) babysat Jonas and she said he was really good for her. yay! :) Work was great, everyone missed me. (awwwww.... ) It kinda felt like i never left, and gosh it felt SO good to get out of the house! and call me a bad mother or whatever, but omgosh, it was sooo nice to get a break from jonas for a few hours! i havent had that since he was born because he likes to breastfeed every 2 hours!!

Speaking of Jonas, I think he's starting to smile. i have the hardest time distinguishing if he is "really" smiling or if its just a gas smile. Probably because he has more gas than iraq. ( lol at my political joke) he is the gassiest baby ever. So the other day i was talking to him and smiling and he smiles at me and i was like "WOO HOO!!" and then like two seconds later he lets out a huge fart! whats a mom supposed to think? oh well, it was a cute smile regardless.

oh! ive started water aerobics again!! yay! i just hope it give me a waist again! i want my old waist back! right now its almost the same size as my hips.. eek!

We have birds in our house!!

omgosh! i saw a beak!!! ahh! birds got into our ceiling area from our dryer vent and from there they got into furnace room! I saw a BEAK from the crack under the door! We dont know what to do.. we dont know how to get the bird(s) out without them flying around the house going nuts. We are probably gonna have to let them or it die inside our house!! eeeek! Its so freaky hearing the bird walking around the ceiling around us and hes flapping his wings and hitting against the furnace door right now! ahh! its freaking me OUT!!

Why to not listen to your Dad's Baby Tips...

So i called my house today to talk to my mom about Jonas' diaper rash. It doesnt seem to be clearing up at all. My mom wasnt there, so i ended up talking to my dad instead. My Dad's advice was to let the rash "air dry" for a few minutes. I was worried about Jonas peeing/poohing on me in those few minutes, but my dad reassured me with a laugh... in my mind the laugh meant that it probably wouldnt happen and that i was a worrywart. Looking back, maybe he was laughing cuz he knew what most likely would happen, i dont know. So anyways, i get off the phone and change Jonas' diaper, i decided i would take off the diaper for just a minute and kind of fan the area in hopes that it would give it the most amount of air in the least amount of time. I even stuck some toilet paper underneath him in case he poo'ed.

WELLLLLLL.... he didnt poo. Instead, im being pelted with pee, i didnt even realize what was going on at first and then when i did, my immediate reaction was to step out of the line of fire (cuz, EW, PEE!) but now, i wish i hadnt, cuz when i moved, his stream of pee reached the bed!!! and it got all over the changing table! EWWWWW! so i undress him and run him over to the bathroom and stick him in his tub. He is screaming at this point of course. I get undressed as well so that i can bathe him while i shower. It was definitely the least relaxing shower i have ever taken... he screamed when i didnt give him every ounce of attention and all the warm water. lol. So, we are both showered and bathed, part of the reason why he is screaming is because he is hungry (poor kid, i only fed him 2 hrs ago! :p )
Anyways, so i hurry and grab a towel for him and wrap him all up and i go to the bedroom to feed him.. well right before i get him latched on, i realize that he has just poo'ed in the towel! GRRREAT! After i get a diaper on him and feed him, he decides that peeing and pooing on me isnt enough and he spits up all over me! What a fun afternoon. Now the baby is content and I am doing about a billion loads of laundry. If anyone is keeping track, the score tally is Jonas: 3, Brenda: 0.

Thanks Dad for the awesome tip!!!

p.s. this is NOT an april fools joke. or maybe it was jonas' attempt on me..... either way, not funny dad and jonas! i know you were in on it together!
