discipline..or lack thereof
i've been a SAHM now for about 3 weeks. things have been awesome. loving every second of it but quickly realizing how UN-disciplined my child is. was talking with my bestie yesterday about difficult behavior/time out/etc. i need to start researching on appropriate discipline for an (almost) 2 year old. he's doing typical toddler behavior..i knew it was coming, and has probably been happening for a while but now that i'm with him 24/7 i guess i really see it now. the screaming, hitting, saying no, throwing things, bad temper, meltdowns...you name it, my son does it. he's not BAD though. he's a really good listener WHEN HE WANTS TO BE (which is about only half the time - lol) and he is just so smart (sometimes too smart for me). going out in public with him is both exhausting and embarrassing. oh, and going out to eat in a restaurant (even kid-friendly ones) is absolutely impossible (or ridiculous one).
any tips mama's? ugh i'm pulling my hair out!!

oh the things that happen in a year and a half.
geeze. i don't know what happened to my blogger. but i need it in my life. a lot has happened in a year and a half. i am getting ready to have a BIG two year old. we are slowly getting his birthday party together. it's gonna be the biggest and best birthday bash ever :) jackson is getting so big! he FINALLY tops the scale out at 24 lbs (for those who know us personally, know that this is a huge accomplishment for us as jackson was a preemie and has struggled with the whole gaining weight thing). he can say about 40 words or so. he is SO smart! he knows all of his body parts, he loves to dance and read books, he LOVES his trucks, he loves mickey mouse & barney of course, he is such a great helper and loves to help mommy and daddy do EVERYTHING. we are truly enjoying watching him grow into such a little man with an amazing personality. being a momma is truly the most rewarding "job" ever.
sooo...in other news. i'm back to being a stay at home mom for now. jeff got an amazing opportunity to work for a great construction company making lots more money. i was planning on going back to work at a daycare for the time being but i just don't think i want that. sooo...we've decided that now is the PERFECT time for me to go back and finish my degree. i just applied for my FAFSA and am waiting to hear back for my award money and then will go from there. i know that i only have like 7 classes + student teaching to finish up my degree. i can't lie...i'm super nervous. it's been 3 years since i've been in college. i WANT to finish. i NEED to finish. it's time. and even though i'm nervous i'm so happy to get the chance to finally finish.
i know jeff and i do not always see eye to eye. but the truth is...i'm beyond blessed and thankful that he supports me and is willing to work his ass off to provide for our family so i can do what i want to do. i love him so much.
jackson will stay home with me (obviously) and my aunt will watch him when i'm in class or need time to study, rest, what have you. once he turns 3, we want to go ahead and put him in preschool. ehhh we'll cross that bridge when it gets here. call me crazy but i'm kinda looking forward to cooking, cleaning, taking care of baby, and being a housewife again...bring it on and helloooo pinterest ;)
this is a pretty legit update for now. i feel like i need to be more productive while jackson is "napping" (I bet he's out for the night though...) instead of sitting behind my laptop which finally is WORKING now ;) the iphone gets old after a while...hahaha.

life happened.
seriously need to start this whole blogging thing again...i'm tired of communicating with my lovely fiance who becomes this awesome brick wall the majority of the time & my son's baby talk, as adorable as it is, gets really old after a while! my best friend lives 90248509 miles away, i have zero mommy friends whom i talk to OUTSIDE of facebook (what has our world come to??), and yeah..i need an outlet before i go insane (i promise i'm not there...YET). the most excitement in my life has been getting a new bed...holy f, i think that means i'm getting old!
my life can get very chaotic at times...so bare with me :/ a little catch up on my life:
jackson just turned 6 months old on the 16th...a half of a year, what??? when did that even happen? i swear i just had him yesterday...just kidding. he is starting to sit on his own, he can roll over from his belly to back & then back over, he enjoys standing with support, and he is trying SO hard to crawl. he is so much fun and i just can't get enough of him. he always keeps me laughing and every day is different with him. i seriously never thought i could love a human being so much.
jeff and i are doing fairly well considering. there are times when i just wanna strangle him, as i'm sure he would like to do the same to me. i love the man though...ugh, seriously can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em. we still have no idea WHEN we are actually going to get married. we just passed the 2 year mark of being engaged..i think we should probably figure it out soon! lol. i guess neither of us are in a rush considering we basically already act like a married couple. i'm "mrs fulmer" at the pharmacy, the doctors office, pretty much everywhere..so who needs a preacher?? lol
i am still employed at the goddard school. jackson got really sick and i was missing a lot of time from work so i am currently on a "leave of absence"...which basically means i'm "on call" and usually work like 2 days a week. i'm totally fine with that...i enjoy being home with my baby boy, but enjoy being able to bring in a little extra cash too. & i am also still going to school..i feel like i'm never gonna graduate..but i'm getting there slowly & surely. i'm pretty proud of myself though bc the old me totally would've given up by now, but i'm still hangin on!
that about sums up my life in the past few months...xoxo

reading old posts...
i stumbled upon my blogger & fully intend on using it again. i can't stand live journal and i miss blogging! reading old posts on here is crazy...so much has changed, well not really "so much" but i can't believe my best friend is no longer my best friend. things happen, unfortunately, and i wish her the best with her life and her new child. i'll never forget the times that we had, and the memories we share...and hopefully she won't either.
anyway...
only 5 more days til we find out the sex of the baby :D what?! are you kidding! didn't i just become pregnant like...yesterday? no, i'm already almost 20 weeks along aka half way there! time flies so fast, i can't get over it! we are super stoked to find out though :)

SERIOUSLY!
ok, these mood swings can seriously kick rocks. i am so over them! and i feel even more bad for jeff, who has to deal with the nonsense. but, i guess i need to realize that it's all a part of being pregnant. they are severe though! like, i get upset and angry over nothing! i hope this is only a first trimester thing...
anyway. my ultrasound is in t-minus 14 days! i am so stoked :D it will all seem real then, and maybe i will spend more time on babycenter :) i looove the site, but like i was telling my bestie yesterday..i feel so weird/awkward hanging around on baby sites because all i have are three at home positives & a blood positive from the dr...i haven't seen my little angel yet, so it's like BLAH.
this is definitely a short post, but i figured i needed to write something...before my hormones make my mood go out of control, again!
