So I know I said I would post at least once a day...but that was before I went through two tablets (had to return both due to OS issues) then finally found what I did with the laptop when we unpacked. So, here we are!
We officially have our SC drivers license's, went to get our new tag & realized we don't have our car title! So this means we have to mail off for it, wait two weeks, then hopefully get it the following week. Fun fun. But we are officially unpacked, only took 6 weeks!
Samuel is rolling over both ways and sitting up in a Bumbo, Addy is adding new words to her little vocabulary everyday. She can now say shoes, giraffe, apple, and banana on top of all her other words. I even caught her nursing her baby-doll the other day. So sweet. She'll start wee school (or Mother's Morning Out) in about 3 or 4 weeks. Crazy!
K and I have also started P90X. It's great having someone there all the time to help motivate you, though right now I think we laugh more than actually workout during the videos. I'm doing pretty poorly in the healthy eating department. Breastfeeding just makes me so so hungry, I want to eat everything in the kitchen!
Speaking of breastfeeding, I made lactation cookies!! I don't have a supply issue but Samuel does get fussy at the breast sometimes so even though he's growing and thriving it felt like maybe he wasn't always getting full. I got the recipe here and can I just say these things WORK! And I mean overnight. I've not felt this full in a long time, and today I even leaked right through my shirt. And that's eating two a day; I think I may need to cut it down to one a day. I did use Old Fashioned Oats instead of Steel Cut but they still work just fine!

And I'm so excited for this weekend!! Grandma & Poppy are coming to visit!!
So much for that one post a day thing. Aaron officially started his new job this week, and was put on second shift (3:30p-1a to 5a). All of a sudden I have to care for my two lovely babies all by myself for the majority of the day. If Aaron gets in at 1am-ish then it's not so bad because he's up around 9am-ish and he helps me with kids, chores, errands, etc until around 1:30pm when he starts to cook his dinner to take to work, shower, etc.
The past few nights he's gotten in between 5am & 6am which means he doesn't wake up until it's time for him to start getting ready for work, which means I'm responsible for both kids, me, chores, errands, etc all day & evening. It's an overwhelming adjustment.
So unfortunately that's what has prevented my posting the past few nights. Usually I have both babies in bed around 9pm and I COULD stay up and post (which I probably need to start doing so I can get this done & other things), but this first week of nights I get in bed at 9pm and am pooped!
I'm hoping to do a grocery/meal planning post in the next day or two. We've officially been two families under one roof for over two weeks now and yet I haven't really written anything about it!
What would you guys like to know? Anything you'd like to ask/read?
Today I went to Lowes & bought some moving supplies. I got boxes, tape, and some cleaning stuff. Granted I didn't get near enough boxes for our move, but I wanted to get a few just to give us an idea at about how many we'll need. I have Goodwill boxes, storage boxes, and coming with us boxes. LOTS of organizing going on! And you know what I realized today? Trying to pack with 2 under 2 in the house is really hard! We've got a lot to get done in these next 15 days.
After dinner our realtor came over to finalize the paperwork for selling our house. So many pages to sign, at least 2.5 hours worth. Our house should be getting listed in the next couple of days, I've just got a couple more pictures to send her, and we now have a lock-box on our front door. We're really moving friends. This is really happening.
Oh, and do men think that a lady can't find her way around a hardware store? I'm not mad or anything I just found it hilarious that with my Aaron maybe one person asks if we're finding everything ok. Today, alone with just the kids, I had at least four men ask me if I needed help finding something. But when it came to hauling all my boxes to the car no one offered to help me then!
Tomorrow is Friday, and it could not come soon enough!!
Hello! I'm Samantha and welcome to my blog! Here I'll be posting about my day to day life, type 1 diabetes, mommy-hood, & our family's new adventure - moving our family in with our friends family! Exciting things are coming to my new blog, my YouTube channel, & to my little family. Please bear with me this coming week as I get everything together.
Thanks friends!
