I have a zillion new pictures to share with you, but they are all on Sarah's camera so we have to wait until we download. That's my excuse, that plus having had no sleep for three weeks. Literally. I am loving being a mom of two, I just pray that one day I get to sleep again. Sadie's routine has been SO disrupted that she isn't sleeping well either, so John and I are both up half the night and it's getting rough. Mostly John and Sadie sleep in our room, and Jack and I sleep in the living room. I'm still in the recliner half the time because it's easier to get up when your stomach muscles are still out-to-lunch. I tell myself that one day I will sleep with my husband again. I'm tired. Jack is wonderful, growing and gassy. Seriously, this kiddo has gas issues. Sadie never did, and I never had to think about what I was eating when I nursed her, but every kid is different I guess. It takes forever to burp him and then he still cries with gas and the stupid mylecon drops are USELESS. Anyway, now I'm sounding like I'm complaining. I"m really not, I love it. I'm just tired.
Okay, no one laugh (or laugh if you want, just do it anyway), but a while ago I entered my hubby in the Redbook magazine "Hot Husbands" contest, and the entry I sent in will be on the website beginning Tuesday. You ALLLLLL have to go to the page and vote for him. If he won he would be in the magazine and we would win a trip and all kinds of cool stuff. Plus, I feel he deserves it. So, here is the link. Send it out to everyone you know and tell them to vote for him. But don't forget, he won't be on until Tuesday.

at what point am i allowed to laugh? should i feel privileged that i am about to enter the home of this "hot husband"? however do you live with this well-oiled, high performance machine? (did i get that right...it's been a while!)
ReplyDeleteyou'll sleep again soon. the first six weeks are the toughest. each of you taking one kid will help you get through it.
ReplyDeleteelliot was very GASSY. it was just plain out gross. he had gas like a 65 year-old man! :)
i thought your man was hot once for about 48 hours and then i watched him eat...
ReplyDeletei would love to see john in a magazine. i will be sure to vote.
ReplyDeleteI apologize that Todd didn't wrap our gift! Have you tried it? Is Jack a fan?
ReplyDeleteso i voted for his hottness from my laptop earlier. but after reading jess's e-mail, found that i could only do it once a day per computer. so after voting from my desktop too, i thought, wow, i have 4 computers in my office at work. so off i went (though it's my halfday and i was already home for the afternoon) because that's how much my dear amy's happiness means to me...but when i tried to vote on the 1st of 4 work computers i get "access denied...sex/adult material"!
ReplyDeleteso my trip back to work was all for nothing as that porn magazine, aka redbook, was rejected by my work computer...
so does john just have to beat the guy he is up against? when does the voting stop? hope he wins!!
ReplyDeletehope you get some sleep soon. i know jessica said she's there... make her watch the kids while you and john sleep. jess is a pro w/ kids!
Every time I hear about motherhood, I start to hyperventilate. Most of my phobias revolve around that whole thing. (I have to take a 10 meter detour if I get close to the children's playing area at the mall, especially if there are infants. Same goes for the maternity clothing store.) But I emulate you guys. What a great-looking family....I’m very proud that I know you!!~~
ReplyDeleteI tried voting for John, but I’m not sure if it worked....I hope ya’ll win!
(That last sentence has me fitting in with you US Americans, eh?)
P.S. I've failed the word varification 3 times. Do you think I'm still human?
ok amy you know i love you and john but how many more guys does he have to beat to get in the magazine??? all this voting is tiring. and a lot of times they tell me i've already voted for the day when i haven't. i think this is the 5th guy. (there was took care of mom-in-law who had cancer guy, then ugly no competition guy, then old man with no shirt on guy, and then last week close up of guy leaning his head back who sometimes got in the 30's on his percentile ranking.) new guy is pictured with 4 kids and may pull at the heart strings so you might need to get broughton to rally the troops this week :)...
ReplyDeleteWow you are married to Mr. January 2007!
ReplyDeleteAre you getting any sleep yet??
Amy, I'm not actually completely responding to this blog, but I didn't know how else to send you a message. Clay and I would love to come visit you, John, and the kids the next time we are at his parent's house in Denham Springs. Can you send me an email with y'alls contact info.? My address is kellymarbry@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that y'all are in the great state of LA again and so close to our families!
Jack is adorable and Sadie is just beautiful!
Hope to hear from you soon!
Love, Kelly & Clay :)
