Most Handsom Man Award...

goes to this guy. To me, he looks exactly like Bing Crosby in White Christmas. I love it. The man on the left happens to be my grandfather when he joined the Army in WWII. The man on the right is my great-grandfather.
My aunt (grandfather's sister) posted some old pictures on her facebook and I fell in love with this one. :) Just had to share.

4 month stats

My little bugger is a towering drool monster!! But a pretty darn cute one!!

One ounce shy of 13lbs. - 30th percentile
Head circumference is in the 55th percentile
This is the kicker...
She is 26 1/2 INCHES TALL!!!! She is off the charts in her height!! WTH!!! She is the normal height for a 7 month old girl!

I just about fell over when the nurse at the Dr office told me that! BUT, the Dr told us she looks amazing and is developing great! :) So, we must be doing something right!

We were also given the OK to start solids!! WOOHOO! I can't wait. We're going to try some rice cereal when I get off of work! I can't wait! (Although, I'm worried that it will mess up her already perfect schedule!!!)
But like all things, we'll get through it! I'm so lucky to have such an amazing baby!! <3

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I'm so ill prepared for Valentine's day this year! I forgot completely to get S a card or ANYTHING! I fail as a wife!! AND a mother. I didn't get anything for Ry. I know she doesn't know the difference, I just still want to get her something! Jeesh! I might just have to stop by the store after work or something!

I gotta say, I have an amazing husband. He ordered me flowers to be sent to my work! They are amazingly pretty! I can't wait until they really start to open up! :) OH, and along with the flowers, he sent chocolates and a stuffed bear! :) He's so sweet! <3

As much as he aggravates me, he really makes up for it. He is the most thoughtful person I know. He would do just about anything for me. I really need to remind myself that more. I get so frustrated when he plays xbox all the time and when he's out 4 nights a week playing softball... I really need to remind myself that he does so much to make up for that! He does dishes ALL the time, he throws a load of laundry in whenever it needs done, he takes care of the dogs, he is SUCH a great daddy! I couldn't ask for more.

S, if you're reading this, I LOVE YOU with all my heart, and I wouldn't trade your love for the world. <3 Never forget that.

I have a headache...

the size of Montana. :*(
I just want to crawl back in back in bed and pull the covers over my head!

My skin hurts so bad on my hands and face... I HATE WINTER!
I'm so ready for spring!!

Vent over.

So, we found a house! It'll be some time until we are able to actually buy a house, but we're working on it! I'm so excited. I feel that once we move, I'll be complete! It'll be one of the last big "things". Even though I'm so happy at how things have been going for S and I, I hate the thought of me "growing up". I miss the ignorance and lack of responsibility. I regret telling my parents that I couldn't wait to grow up and be able to do my own thing. Now I would give my right arm to be able to live that life again.

My thoughts for the day. <3

Well...

I apparently suck at keeping up with this thing... So I'm giving up on this Challange... I found a picture challange I might try... But I'll wait and see if it's something I can keep up with!

So, Little Miss is officially 16 weeks old (as of Saturday). I can't believe I have a 4 month old! She's such a great girl. She's acutally been holding her own bottle and starting to try and put it in her own mouth!! (As seen below!!)



We go to the pedi on the 21st for her 4 month check up! As excited as I am to be going and seeing how she's developed, I'm dreading the shots!! She did okay at her 2 mo appt, but now that she's showing more of a personality, I'm sure all hell will break lose! (I'm so optimistic... Can you tell?!)

Day 21-Picture of yourself

This was taken the day after I cut 13" off my hair!! BAHHH! I can't believe I did that! But it feels SO much better!

Day 20-Nicknames

Mergan is my most popular nickname... As you can tell!
I'm also called Meg, Merg, Megs, Meggie (which I despise!), MegHan.

We call Ry a whole bunch of names!
RyRy, Punkin, Bug, Darlin', StinkerPot.... Whatever comes to mind! :)

Day 19-Something you miss

I miss my brother. Well, not my biological brother. He is my best friend. He ended up getting married and moved to Florida so his wife could go to college. And they never made it back up here! He comes up all the time which is fantastic. He is fantastic. :)

Day 18-Something you regret

I regret all the crazy things I put my parents through when I was younger. Now that I'm a mother, I always worry how Ry's life will be. Will she go out and be crazy? Will she lie to me? Will she go out drinking? I try not to dwell on these things. I'll lose enough sleep when the time comes. I love Ry with all my heart and want to keep her safe. I know I can only do so much and point her in the right direction.

I regret not going to my friends funeral. He passed right before Christmas and my ex and I were going to TN for Christmas with his family the day of his funeral. I really should have pushed to stay an extra day. I miss him dearly.
