Things that Kaleb does.

So here are some things that my crazy terror of a son can do already, and some of them he’s been able to do since he was two days ago.

1. He can hold his head up on his own, keep it up, and he can turn it from side to side.

2. He can follow things with his eyes, even across his field of vision.

3. He’s learning to smile.

4. He’s figuring out spit bubbles.

5. He uses his feet to kick himself off of things.

6. He’s starting to sleep through most of the night.

7. When he’s excited he makes the most hilarious face and wails his arms around wildly.

All of these things the doctor has told me are things he shouldn’t know how to do till he’s AT LEAST 2 or 3 months old.

And he’s been doing them since he was about 2 days old.

Basically, I might have a super baby on my hands.

I’m feeling defensive and there’s nothing I can do about it so, naturally, I want to go straight to my bathroom to pluck my eyebrows, and paint my nails, and do my hair.

This is my logic, and it will get me nowhere, but at least it’ll make me feel like I’m sufficient for myself. 　

OH THANK GOD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO DOES THIS.

I dye my hair, take a long hot shower, shave my legs, dry using my fluffy “bad day towel”, pluck my eyebrows, put on a facial mask, use a pore strip on my nose, wash it all off, do my makeup, do my hair, and put on my cutest bra and panties with lovely heels and parade around the house.

And if that fails, I go shopping, unless im broke, then i just eat tons of chocolate. :)

searchforbrighterdays asked: Oh my goddd Kaleb is perfect :)

Oh man tell me about it! Kyle gave him his first bath the other day and I took SO MANY GODDAMN PICTURES.

Kaleb has Kyle’s butt.

I laughed so hard when I saw it. I’m hoping to post pictures of his first (sponge bath because we were waiting for his umbilical cord to fall off before he had a tub bath). But it fell off this morning! He has an innie belly button and it’s pretty much the most precious thing on Earth. haha.

missbriannablonde asked: I've been following you for a while now and I have followed all your posts about your pregnancy and life and things. When I saw the picture of Kaleb I was so excited for you :) Congratulations!

I made the mistake of sending a mass picture text to everyone in my phone, posting a picture on tumblr, facebook, and instagram, all within probably about 5 min of each other. My phone froze because of all the notifications I was recieving, I ended up having to turn it off and wait till the morning to turn it back on, and even then I had literally 100+ notifications through all the apps and text messages. It was ridiculous! But I was thrilled everyone was so smitten with him. I hope you enjoyed all the pregnancy posts and complaints, thank you for continueing to follow me through the ups and downs of life, and I hope you enjoy all the post pregnancy posts and pictures. (once I either get a new phone, or find where the hell my camera cable is the pictures will resume!)

devilgirlyoumustburn asked: you have an awesome face!!!(not in a creepy way lol) it has been my inspiration for my art, tho none of my paintings look like your face lol you are so happy and lively its pretty awesome congrats on your little family!

I read the first sentence and then laughed so hard I almost choked on the baby carrot I’m munching on. “You have an awesome face…(not in a creepy way.) hilarious! I’d love to see some of your work! I love looking at other peoples art and if I can help inspire you in any way i’d love to see the outcome! Thanks for the congrats on my little family, everyday I seem to grow to love them more and more and I dont know how thats possible.

qqueenbitch asked: I just had to tell you that you're an incredibly beautiful woman, and right after having a baby you look damn good! As a temporary clothes solution, I'd hit up some thrift stores! It's not always the best but most of the time there's a few gems hidden in the racks :)

I’m hitting up the thrift stores later this week! but I actually have some post pregnancy body news that I will be sharing with everyone, once I answer/reply to these messages. But in all honesty thank you for telling me I look good for just having had a baby, everyone seems to be telling me that, I’m just a little hard on myself but I’m learning!

Mr. & Mrs. Swingabilly

So I went into Kyle & I’s favorite rockabilly shop called Wildcat. You’ve heard me talk about it, it’s where we get our pomade and most of my dresses and his shirts. Well I  went in today to buy a dress I had tried on a few days ago and Thea (the owner) asked me if Kyle and I would be kind enough to be a part of a show she’s putting up in August. She wants us to be “Cigarette Girl & Boy”. Basically in the 50’s when people would go to shows, or movies there would be people walking around selling cigarettes. Well Kyle and I would do our own hair and I would do my makeup and we would go to Wildcat and she would provide us with the clothing for the night, then Kyle and I would go to the venue and walk around with trays displaying some goodies from Wildcat, flower pins, patches, suspenders, stickers, and whatever else she decides to do.

We’re excited. :)

:’)

Kaleb just smiled.

I know it was probably not an intentional smile and it was probably just him making random facial expressions.

But it was still hands down probably the cutest thing in the whole goddamn world.

Suddenly I don’t care that I don’t have any clothes.

Kaleb, you’re worth every single inch and pound I’ve gained.

:/

Pre-Pregnancy measurements: 36-30-36.

Post-Pregnancy measurements as of today: 40-34-40.

Nothing in my closet fits at all. :(

I went shopping today and I literally tried on at least 20 items of clothing and NOTHING fit right.

I sat in the fitting room and tried not to cry.

Apparently my current body measurements aren’t exactly what clothing today are designed after.

I have one pair of pants, two shirts, one skirt, one bra, and not a single dress that fits right.

40-34-40.

I feel fat and gross, Kyle says I’m curvy and wonderful, I feel lumpy and gross.

Excuse me while I go cry my eyes out because nothing in my closet fits and I can’t afford to have a shopping spree.

:(
