Monsters In The Room

Jay si getting to the age of thinking that monsters are in his room. It has only happened a few times, but last night it happened again. I have come to the conclusion that everytime it has happened it is because of something he has seen on T.V. Last night, right before bed, Jay watched Spiderman 3. In Spiderman 3 there is the black Spiderman and when Topher Grace's character plays him he has fangs and claws. When I saw that scene come up I looked at Jason and said, "I hope this doesn't give him nightmares." I was so right!

Now, I never wanted to be the kind of mom that was crazy about what my children watched. For the most part, I really don't have to worry about it. Jay LOVES Nick Jr. and Disney. He loves Pixar movies, even though he does get scared with some of them, i.e., Pixar's short films, when Jack Jack from The Incredibles turns into a fireball, he doesn't like that too much!! But Jay has slowly moved into liking Spiderman, Superman, Wolverine, and so on. So, I tried to find cartoons with those characters in it and Jason lets him watch parts of the movies. He can't watch too much of the new Batman, with Heath Ledger as the joker, I even get scared with that!!!

So, at about 4 am, I hear him crying. I wake Jason up to go check on him and I can hear Jay telling him that there is a monster in his room. Jason showed him that there was no monster in his closet, or under his bed. I then heard him ask Jason if he could get in "Momma's bed." I melted!!! I jumped out of bed and was like, "of course baby!"

I am just hoping that it doesn't turn into an everynight thing!!

News

Well, not sure if people have noticed, but my last few posts I have floated around a topic that we weren't ready to share yet; however, it has been long enough. I am pregnant. Again. Yes, pick your jaws up off the floor, it is true! And yes, Jackson is only 9 months old! Let's just say this came to a great shock for me. Jason literally had to pick me up off the floor and promise me the world!! We wanted another baby, but not just yet. So, because of this unexpected, magical blessing I quit work (the real reason behind it all). I have had a few ultra sounds to make sure everything is great due to my miscarriages. I am 14 weeks as of this week. We ARE going to find out the sex of this baby, but that won't be until about August, 6 weeks.

Even though at first I was in TOTAL disbelief, I am excited about it, especially since I have had 2 dreams it is a girl. But, if it is a boy, I would love him too!! We have middle names picked out for each gender. Ross, after my Paw Paw, and Ann, after my grandmothers and Jason's mom. First names we aren't set on yet. I think we will worry more about that once we find out the gender.

I just got back from NOLA last week and we had a lot of fun. We leave for Ruston in a couple of weeks for the 4th, so we are looking forward to that. My 3 year is getting funnier and funnier as the days go by. His new thing now is when I fuss at him for something he shoots me with his invisible spider web, just like Spiderman. So hard to keep a straight face when he does that!! Sorry this blog seems to drag on, but more of an update than anything.

Jason DID get a dayshift! He started today and I hope it continues to get better. Life is good, hectic and crazy, but good!!

Baby on the move...

Jackson is 8 months old and is on the move!! He is crawling EVERYWHERE!! And if he is everywhere, then I am everywhere! I have found him in the kitchen, in the bathroom and in his room. I have shut all doors in the hallway and may have to pull out our baby gates!! I have pulled out the pack and play to stick him in at times, but that doesn't last very long before he starts wailing to get out! I have a new method though: the walker. It keeps him contained, but he can move around, so for the most part he is pretty happy in it. One of the worst parts of his "exploring" has been that he is trying to pull up now too.

So, now am I not only running around everywhere after Jay, but I am now chasing after Jackson!! I love once Jason gets home because he basically takes over with Jay. Yes, I get up at 7am and can't wait for 8am, because I am already ready for Jason to be home!! He normally stays up until it's about time for them to go down for a nap, so I have a couple of hours to myself, then the rest of the evening I am running after them.

The boys and I head to NOLA next week and I am sooooo excited!! Jason will be out of town for the military for 2 weeks and I plan to spend that time in NOLA with our family. I am excited to spend some quality time with my parents and Ashley and with Jason's dad and step mom. I also start my graduate courses come Monday, so I am bit anxious about the next few weeks!!

I hope all is well with everyone and sorry that this post has been overdue. Things have been hectic since school let out and it is only going to get worse, but in a good way!!
