Why didn't i discover this earlier?

Okay so i always though twitter was dumb... well maybe not dumb but at the same time i didn't really want my IRL friends to know whats up.. haha Facebook is enough.
Also my hubs is not a BIG user of facebook- he has one.. he checks it and maybe once a MONTH he'll status it up.
So yesterday i set up a twitter because of all the awesome mommas i've found through this blog! and i am HOOKED. I think its cause i get to see what other moms are up to and its fun to have this little nook of the world to me and other moms. I think thats the fun of being a mom is being involved in groups. Of course i'm still new to all this blog and stuff so moms have thier friends that they have been tweeting for awhile! but so far i've been welcomed nicely and i love it!

My hubs asked me what are you doing today.. and i said tweeting.. he said "what" i said YES IM ON TWITTER... and he was like.. okay gaby.... i ALWAYS say this back to him " i never say anything when you do your football fantasy ALL DAY LONG" hahaha that made him quiet. awesome.

So yes, i'm trying not to tweet every 30 min... becuase you know my life is SO exciting. but its fun to tweet little things that bug you or going on in your life without your MIL or former teachers knowing your REAL complaints ! haha..

So i love twitter now. Now i understand my sisters obbession. Of course for her its to follow justin bieber and what he is up to.... which brings me to me other point of following my favorite celebs. Yes i feel so lame. and i am a mom. great.
Also i love Kendra and keeping up with the kardashians.

Enough of my trashy tv confessions.. there is more.. but i don't want to confess anymore ;)

An Itch

Okay so before i found out i was pregnant and i was so excited scared out of my mind possibly crying out of mere shock, i never thought that i would ever want more children.
Let me explain.
I've loved children, like working with them and all the stuff but i always THOUGHT i would be okay without them. I honestly thought if my hubs and I never had children then i would be okay just the two of us, lets just say i never craved to have children. Which might seem so selfish of me considering some people try so hard to have children and seriously my heart aches for them.

But my son changed those feelings of children FOREVER. I mean when he came into our lives everything changed. I loved my pregnancy- i never threw up.. it was great ( other than my asthma flaring up 200% and not breathing) but once it was controlled it was awesome.

Now he is 7 months old, and i have an ITCH for a girl, a baby girl. Sigh... I just want to dress her up in tights and headbands galore.. I sound like a 15 year old on maury who say then want a child to dress them up as if they were dolls.. but thats not my case, i really do want another child.. sometimes... other times i know we can't afford another child.. other times  i think i would be content with just my chubs. Im obviously confused and with my current BC i don't worry about having a child "accidentally" for 5 years ( yay mirena?)

Sigh... till then all you women who have girls go ahead and dress them up to your liking no matter what other people say. I love my baby boy, boys have their own things to them, they are and will be mammas boys.. mine is.. i accessorize him with hats and shoes..lol not nearly as fun as the million and one things there is for girls.. seriously i get upset ( in a good i want a girl kinda way) when i go to childrens store becuase 75% of the store is dedicated to girls and 25% is left for the boys.. i know i know there isn't much to a boy.. tshirt.. jeans.. sweaters.. but still...
H&M had the CUTEST boy caps and i got one for my chubs for 4-6 months and now it doesn't fit :( and we went to the H&M here and there was no more :( I hope they bring them back cause it was my absolute favorite. We bought him another one from childrens place not NEARLY as cute...

anyways, now everyone knows my itch for a girl.but it must wait for a bit.. if it all..

goodbye 2006.. we need a 2011

We seriously need a new computer. I mean BADLY. My toshiba has been dead since the summer and so we are only using my husbands 2006 compaq with a 55 gb.. seriously ipods have more gb than this computer. I'm not even gonna complain TOO much before this computer dies on us. My parents were wonderful and gave us some money to put towards a new computer.. but i want my OWN computer.. i hate sharing... seriously since im home all day i get the computer all day... then at night my husband gets to use it. Its awful cause its at night when i actually have time!
So now im trying to find a way to convince my husband for each of us to get a computer.
my friend wants to sell me her old laptop... ahh i wish she would sell it to me cheaper. I can't ask for too much.. but again i just want MY computer ya know..

I need a round baby gate... what have you moms felt helped when your child was being mobile? a gate? you know those round ones that look like a big play pen...

anyways.. I want a new computer... so i can download my videos from my new camcorder becuase there is no way in heck that this can handle 4 gb of video... oh did i mention that the power cord is so messed up i have to bend it a certain way and barely breathe in order for it to charge...ya its that bad

The biggest loser.. while eating pudding

Sounds gross. right?
Last night i was eating one of those crunchy oat bars ( healthy right?).. and now i have a piece stuck in my throat.. i feel it scratching.. im coughing.. AHHHHHHHHHHH I REALLY hope it goes away soon cause i can't handle it anymore.
Also why am i here watching the biggest loser and eating pudding... ugh.. i love watching this show but then i feel like i need to lose like 100 pounds in 6 weeks... AHHH...
why is losing weight so hard?
and then i had a baby.. and i've been trying to lose weight since i was like 15. geez... im going to put the "having more babies" on the back burner for sure until i get myself the way i want to be.
Clearly at this point im doing it for me.
All these biggest loser are like 20, 21.. i'm only 23.. and no i don't weight 400 pounds but im not in a healthy weight.. i know that!
And its not like we eat unhealthy here at my house.. we don't eat eggs,meat,milk,fried things... which has helped me keep my weight steady neither gain nor loss, which is GOOD but now ineed to go to the next level to LOSE.
Okay thats enough of that!
A friend of mine is pregnant again and she mentioned how fun it is to be pregnant and you can wear whatever you want and stick out your belly... oh the joys of not worrying how your tummy looks.. ect.. your pregnant enjoy it.

now to drink a gallon of water before bed hahah ( kidding.. maybe)

In a funk.

Its a new year, but i feel like its still the same. I think its because I am in florida. Its always warm * most of the year* thus i feel like its still August. Its weird. I'm used to seasons and changes and when there isn't any of it - im kinda lost.
I must admit i adjust easily to new environments. Of course I HATED orlando at first... but now i like it. I love the weather, I like living in big cities, and I just like not having to wear shoes... like boots or socks. I HATE SOCKS! the sad thing is i have to wear them to sleep in the winter or else i get allergies.. without fail... its weird..
my house looks like crap. there is toys everywhere, clean laundry on my kitchen table and i just hate putting clothes away. When did a family of 3 produce 4 loads of laundry in a week?.. i don't even wanna know what a family of 5 produces a week... sweet goodness...
I miss Chicago .. a lot.
I can't wait to take my son downtown chicago this summer when i head back. I want to take all he cliche tourist pictures with him, because hey.. it is his FIRST time.
My hubby thinks i'm crazy but he needs to understand.
When will these fireworks end? seriously people new years day is OVER ... STOP WAKING UP MY SON! * stab*
ugh.. okay this is a horrible post.
adios

The first of the year

I figured that I should write a blog for the first of the year!
Today has been a ROUGH day.
My parents visit was wonderful. Too wonderful.
We had a great week, going shopping, to the beach, disney world, my mom and dad spoiling both me and the baby.
I got to eat out almost everyday ( something not possible right now)
Its okay i'm fine with not going out to eat as long as I get to stay home with my baby.

I'm so so sad. They left today. Of course it was a afternoon filled with tears and sometimes my hubs thinks we are ridicilous for crying so much, but he doesn't understand how much i miss my family and the bond we have.

Okay enough about this. I've been reading, watching, and just hearing moms and their experiences. I've also been watching 16 and pregnant and WITH OUT FAIL i cry during the labor part.. why.. i have no idea..
I feel so blessed to be a SAHM. Seriously I know its not a possiblity for ALOT of moms and even though andrew and I live modestly we have what we need, and for that I'm thankful.

I love every moment with that boy. He is my life.
I was told today im totally going to be a horrid mother in law. I'm not going to be, i want to be as good as I can..

I'm just a scatter brain today.
My son still has NO teeth.
He's being irriatble at night. Waking up every 3 to 4 hours . Hes been just sleeping in our bed at night.
I'm hoping that this is just a stage of his teething.

I want a baby girl. I do. We just really can't afford to add another memeber to our family right now. Also at times I think i'd be okay with just my chubs.

I made no resolutions this year. I mean kinda in my head but nothing major. same resolution i've made since i was 14. lose weight. Meh... this year im not going to stress too much about it. I do want to lose weight but this time to be healthy, not for looks.. its for me.




Alas i will leave you with some pictures of our week and new years.
