I had a pretty good birthday yesterday. We got a take chinese buffet since the drive to frankfort seemed to far and jeremy made me a turtle brownie sundae.
lots of things to do before we move. I think we are going to go look at furniture that we can't buy today. after I take a nap. also need to do a 4 mile run. i need to get on top of this running or I'm not going to be ready for the half marathon.
Liam is so cute. I am still worried though because he hasn't rolled over or pushed himself up. he will be 5 months on Monday and it just worries me. also, his rice cereal hasn't been going well. he hasn't been eating as much and has just been wanting to nurse. which is fine, I'm sure that he will eat when he is ready.
I put him in his swing last night and he grapped onto his little monkey's arm and fell asleep holding onto it. it was really cute. he is able to reach and grap onto things.
we are suppose to close on the house on march 15th, but the other couple doesn't move into their house in Georgetown until the 19th. so, even though we will own the house, they won't be out until that Saturday. I think they will end up paying rent to us for those days. Our realtor said we should charge $100 a day but that seems excessive. it's not their fault that the house they are moving into won't be empty until the 19th. so, we are taking what our mortgage will be and dividing by 30, so they will end up paying us $55 a day. Jeremy is sad because he was hoping that we could move in early, but that's okay. we will be able to use the money that we get from rent to get a new washer and dryer.

Today was day 3 of operation Rice Cereal. Liam was a rock star! He at almost his entire bowl and smiled the entire time during it. I'm pretty sure he was smiling at me and Jeremy and not at the cereal, but we'll take what we can get. Jeremy always makes too much (we make our own using organic rice) and he has found that adding a little brown sugar makes a good breakfast for him.
He hasn't been eating very well at all these past few days because he's been sick but he's alot better today. He's also been sleeping with us every night too because of the above mentioned not feeling well. we try to start him out in the crib, but Jeremy usually sneaks him back to bed with us by midnight. He sleeps alot more soundly in bed with us. his middle of the night feeding isn't as good when he sleeps with us because he nurses better in the nursing chair then lying down next to me.
we close on the house on March 15th. I sorta got really freaked out because I calculated our monthly budget, and it looks like we have about $100 leighway. and then I told Jeremy and he proceeded to freakout because when he figured it out, we would actually be over $500 every month.
Thankfully, we both realized that we were being idiots because we were only counting our income from a biweekly prespective and we actually get paid TWICE every month. I was seriously thinking "what the hell have we gotten ourselves into? how are we going to afford two mortgages? why in the world did they approve us for this loan that we obviously can't afford??????"
it's surreal our income.
So, when we move into the house, the living room, dining room, and master suite will be empty. we don't have enough in savings to furnish them, so when we build up our savings again, we will start putting them together. I think jeremy and I have decided to stay upstairs with Liam in one of the guest rooms until we have enough to buy furniture for the master suite. that way we will be close to him until he is a little older.

well, training for the half marathon has pretty much stopped. I've been sleeping when I get home, which sucks because I can't work out and sucks even more because I can't spend time with Liam. I remember this happenign a few years ago, where I couldn't stay awake after I got home from school because I was so exhausted. that ended, so hopefully this will stop soon as well.
Liam is SOOOO cute. he learns something new every day. His new favorite thing is for me to tap my fingers over his month and he starts "awwwwww"ing and making music. It is so cute. and when he gets bored with that, he licks your hand.
Tonight I was laughing hysterically because he was trying to suckle my neck and when he realized that wasn't working he started to lick me like a cat. very funny.
we are looking at new houses. we have been looking for a while, but finally really buckled down. We have five that we are going to go and actually see this weekend hopefully. they range from 250K to 385K which is a huge range. And from 2500 sq ft to 4500 sq ft. so, maybe before this spring we will be moving!

I missed my work out last night. I went to sleep at 7:20, woke up at 10:20 realized it was really late and went back to bed. Liam got up about 10 minutes later and then again at 2am and 5am when I got up for work. Liam actually went to sleep at 8:45 last night, which is the earliest he has ever gone down for the night. Granted he did get up at 10:30 but went right to sleep after he ate.
My hair is falling out. Ever time I take a shower, I have a big ball of hair that forms after i condition. And it's really starting to show. I have a picture where it looks like i'm in the early stages of chemo. it's horrible.
I've been a debbie downer for the past few days. I had my weigh in on Wednesday, and I was 156. which is up from my low of 154.8. It made me pretty upset. I just want to fit into my old clothes. right now I'm wearing a mixture of maternity clothes and my biggest non-maternity clothes which are still too small and it makes me dread getting dressed for work every day.
