ROLLIN' ROLLIN' ROLLIN'

Yes, it is uncharacteristic of me to post ahead of X's weekly update, but something exciting actually happened and I thought it deserved a special post.

Remember how I mentioned X rolling over and his pops and I missing it?  Well he did it again and I managed to record it!  My little man is rolling over now!  Granted it's tummy to back, it's still crazy to me.  Before I know it he'll be crawling.  Where does the time go?  

X IS 3...MONTHS!!

X turned 3 months old two days ago.  Is that even something you're supposed to get excited about?  We'll, not excited, but...oh I don't know.  So last night, on his third month of life, X ROLLED OVER!! Yes!  My little man rolled over, and guess what?!  Both his dad and I missed it!  WTF!?!  X's dad put him down for some tummy time, and while he was paying more attention to his Kakao chat room than our baby, out first born, and only child, rolled from his tummy to his back.  I missed this milestone because I had to pump...stupid pump.  Did I mention that #ihatepumping (I feel so redundant in saying that, but if you pump then you feel me).  I know it's not like he rolled from back to front, which seems tougher, but geez...it would have been pretty cool beans to see X roll over regardless of starting position.

So that was the highlight of the entire month.  I'm serious.  As I say every week...or two...nothing exciting really happens.  I never knew this.  I always thought having a baby brought crazy adventures and excitement all the time.  In reality it's a whole lotta bottle washing and diaper changing.  That is not fun, nor exciting.  I'm not going to get all excited over lava flow poops.  You know...those poops that just keep coming while you're already changing the diaper.  You think business was completed, but no.  You were wrong and now you're scrambling to get the new diaper under the butt to catch the flow.  I've wasted many diapers because of this.  I digress.  Back to the reason we're all here...Baby X.

Being a new mom is still sinking in, and I'll admit, that prior to getting knocked up I was okay with not having any offspring.  I like my freedom, and I love my play time, and I knew that having a kid changes all of that.  I always thought I was too selfish to ever put someone before myself.  Wait, that sounds bad.  I could explain myself in better detail, but meh...I'm lazy.  So...yes.  I was okay with never procreating, but then I went and got pregnant and poof!  I have never loved anyone more, and I probably won't ever love anyone more; sorry my future second born child...hey...I'm just keeping it real.  Just kidding...ummm...yeah.

So, in these past three months life changed because of a tiny little human.  No more afternoon siestas.  No more happy hour get-togethers.  No more weekend binge drinking sessions...wait...those still exist.  Did you really think I would give that up?  All these crazy changes, and sacrifices, and what not was all worth it.  I wouldn't change a thing...except maybe the amount of weight I gained during my pregnancy.  I love Baby X bunches, even when he's being super extra, and even though I can't have the same fun I used to, this whole parenting game is going to bring on a whole new type of fun.  I can't wait for that to begin.  I'm sure the next month will have way more milestones and firsts to share, which will make this blog more exciting...hopefully.


Well, it's like 1 am, I have to pump again, and I am struggling to stay awake (It took me 45 minutes to proof read this because I kept dozing off).  X and his dad are snoring away like always...looks like it's just the Real Housewives of New York and me tonight.  If this post is off, then you know it's because of sleep deprivation.  Night y'all!

MOTHER'S DAY

Yes...another week, another forgotten post.  Whoops.  Usually I would just combine my my late post with next weeks post, but seeing as X is three months next week, I'll keep them separate since I think his monthly's should be somewhat special.

So Mother's Day...I have to admit that it felt weird celebrating it; really it just felt like any other day.  Maybe I'm not doing it right?  Maybe it changes once your kid gets older?  I don't know.  I guess I was hoping to be swept away to Croatia or something...wait...I must be eating the wrong brownies again to think that this is a possibility.  Dammit California Lottery...let me win!  Other than wishful thinking, not much happened.  Barbecued with the in-laws on Saturday, went for mani-pedi's and dinner with my family on Sunday.  Oh...and I developed mastitis which was horrible.  It felt like someone kicked my tit.  Too vulgar for a baby's blog?  Yeah...oh well.  Overall it was a very low-key Mother's day weekend, still it felt weird being on the other side of things.  Next year Croatia.

Well, my hungry, hungry, hippo is beckoning me, and so is that damn pump of mine.  Until next week kiddos, I promise that post will be more Baby X, less baby mama wishing for vacations. #takemetocroatia

Babies and booze

I just love alliterations.

So, apparently my priorities are: first party and then blog. The past couple of weekends have been heavy on the hangovers...which I don't miss, and because of it, X's memory keeper (the blog) has suffered. I remember the days when a night of drinking didn't mean an entire day of nursing a hangover. God, I miss my 20's.  Don't judge me.  It's not like I kept my party girl ways a secret from everyone.  If you know me then you know I like to have fun...sometimes a little too much fun.  After 9 months of DD'ing I'm allowed to get a little tipsy.  It's not like I'm chauffeuring X around while I'm drunk.  That's just bad parenting. 

So like I said...I've been a little occupied, and admittedly, I just kind of forgot the time had passed.  I mean, yes, time has passed, but after the second month I just totally dropped the ball.  Whoops.

So much has happened in the...what...two weeks since I've posted.  Actually I'm fibbing. Nothing notable has happened other than his hand and mouth meeting finally.  This kid is going to be a thumb sucker, I know it.  He has this thing with his left hand.  He just sucks away, and it's the cutest, albeit grossest (I hate slobber, even that of my own baby) thing ever.  Other than that nada.  OMG WAIT!  There was something!  See what alcohol does to your brain!!  He rolled on to his side!  I know I mentioned him doing this before, but it was always on a mattress so it didn't really count because its kind of soft and springy and...yeah.  Well this time he did it on the floor and I almost thought he was going to actually roll over, but he just couldn't get the other side to go.  It was amazing.  Just kidding. It was a cool experience, but it's not like he took a step or anything.  So yeah.  That was the main event of X's milestones in the past two weeks.  Uneventful...kind of like the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather fight. 

Until next week kiddos.  A DVR'd episode of Shahs of Sunset awaits me.  X is sleeping.  X's daddy is snoring away.  Finally a little alone time to partake in guilty pleasures while I pump.  #lifeofanewmom #ihatepumping

One more thing...I'm having issues with blogger right now so I can't upload videos,  but when I can, I'll upload the video of X rolling on to his side.
