Rock-A-Bye Baby

By
Well, baby boy is finally sleeping soundly in his crib! My husband and I decided to move his crib into our bedroom because Desi's room was just to far for me to feel comfortable with him being in there. It's only temporary, as we will be moving soon. Whatever place we go to next, I want to make sure Desi's room will be right next to ours. Anyway, so now that Desi is in our room, it has been alot easier putting him to sleep in his crib. Of course I have to hold my baby's hand or rub his back in order for him to fall asleep. He is a nursed baby, so he loves the skin to skin contact and, admittedly, I love it too. I am so glad that he is starting to feel comfortable in his crib because my husband and I miss snuggling up together. It's kind of hard to do that when you have a little person in your bed! We do love our joy to be in the bed with us, but he needs to learn to be independent from us at times and my hubby and I need to continue to be a couple. Romance baby!!!

Let me know your stories about getting your child to sleep in his own bed. I would love to hear them.
Okay, that is where I will end it tonight because I am falling asleep at my computer ya'll. Night Night!

Star Wars and a Lesson Learned

By
Thursday night my husband and I snuck out the house to catch the 11:40p showing of Star Wars! My mother stays at our house during the week to watch Omari so she was fine with staying with the kids while we ran off to be teenagers again. As soon as we put the boys to bed, we rolled out (Roll Out by Ludacris plays here). It was exciting! Sometimes things are so surreal to me that it seems like my life is a movie and I will instantly que music in my head for the relatable scene. I felt a rush come over me while we tiptoed through the house and out the door. It felt like we were being rebellious. We were rebelling against the parental norms for the night. Once we got into the car, we just smiled at each other as I silently melted. His smile is a constant reminder of one of the many reasons why he is my husband. He is so fine (I Love Your Smile by Shauniece plays here)! He said, "You ready baby?" I nodded and we headed for the theater. He thanked me for coming with him and I could...

The Warmth of the Snow

By
It was a cold and snowy Thursday morning. My icy cold hands fought to get Desi buckled up in his car seat. I gave him a kiss and headed over to my driver's side. I peered across the street and spotted this man walking his dog. I thought to myself, "He's pretty sexy." This overwhelming feeling comes over me and I revert to my school girlish ways. He approaches me with the warmest smile and I soon didn't feel so cold anymore. I am taken into his masculine arms and I am given a gentle kiss. We hold each other as the snow falls all around us. We gaze into each others eyes as we dance to "Down by the Bay" (songs in kid minor). LOL!  That moment with my husband meant so much. It was a rush rush kind of morning and to just take the time to embrace each other helps you to continue to remember the love you have for the one that was there before your child. Once you have a child, life tends to revolve around that little person. However, it is so important for t...

It's Bedtime!

By
I love the bedtime routine we have set out for Desi. He gets his bath and a good rub down. We say a prayer with daddy and we read 2 books. The first book is always "My Book of Bible Stories" and the second book is "The Snuggliest Snuggle in the World." I bought the second book for Desi when I was 3 months pregnant and I just knew and felt that it was going to be his favorite book. Mommy's intuition did not steer her wrong! He loves the book! He really gets into the voices I make for each character, we point out colors and animals. He will turn the page and when the story is over I say, "The end. Okay close the book Desi." He will, then, close the book. I tell him night night and we go over to the light switch. I tell him to turn the light off and he turns the light off. A moon is projected on the wall so we say goodnight to the moon and I turn on the heartbeat sound on the projector. He gives mommy a hug and I put him in his crib. He holds my hand unti...
