Caedmon Funnies Part 1
This will be part 1 of I am sure of a series of Caedmon funnies.
1) After seeing a gorilla on a show he started doing this:
2) Again I think he saw this from a show and started fake sneezing. We were in a grocery store one day and he just starts saying, "Ah-choo." The people nearby were amused.
3) Caedmon has a habit (particularly in the morning with his breakfast bar or waffle or whatever) to throw his bowl of food on the floor. Some days I am not sure if he ate it then threw the bowl on the floor or if the dog ate it. So I will ask him where did the food go and sometimes he will point inside his mouth and some days he will point at the dogs mouth. Hey at least he is being honest right?
4) While eating he likes to go MMMMM and then rub his belly only he ends up rubbing his chest instead. And then if mommy or daddy eat something he will come up and rub our bellies (except for me it is more like my boobs) and say MMMMM. The other day we had dinner at Panera. The pastries are always by the entrance when you walk in. We walked in and he immediately went over to the muffins and cookies and pointed at them and said MMMMM. And if you are wondering yes we added a $0.99 cookie to our order for our sweet boy especially since he ate well and behaved well that day in the restaurant.
5) Caedmon is learning to jump and he has to crouch down first before jumping is funny.
6) We are in the process of giving our bedroom a makeover. One night after Caedmon went to bed we took everything off the walls including the TV. Most mornings Caedmon will watch TV in our room while we get ready. He came in there the next morning looked at the empty wall confused for a few seconds and then pointed at the wall and said, "Uh Oh."
7) We are teaching Caedmon to say please when he wants something. Every time we ask him to say please, he always says it while cocking his head to the side. He does that every time and it amuses us.
8) Lately when face timing with family or Tanner (if he is traveling for work) Caedmon will take the phone and walk around with it showing whom ever we are talking to different things. For example he showed his Uncle Brandon that he was watching Curious George (his new obsession) on TV. And I was at my dads a couple weeks ago while Tanner was in NYC and he had to show Tanner all the snow outside since we only had a dusting at home.
9) It is amazing some of the things that kids pick up by watching others. Back in the fall Caedmon had watched Tanner hook up the camper to the car. Then one day Caedmon was playing with his power wheel riding lawn mower that has a wagon that attaches to the back of it and the chains from his swing. He proceeded to pretend to hook up the chains from the tractor to the wagon just like with the car and the camper. Caedmon also got a tool bench and tools for Christmas. Again don't know where he sees this stuff but he has laid his tractor and his train on their side and will "work" on them (using his tools to fix them). Just like helping daddy as pictured here:
10) Today while I was trying to get his lunch ready I saw him with the TV remote. Then I couldn't find it later on and I kept asking him where it was and he would put a finger on his lip and go HMMMM while trying to find said remote.
11) Tonight Caedmon had a second poopy diaper. Based on a book we had read from the library I always say, "Did you stinky poot poot?" Then I jokingly said, "Go tell daddy." And he literally ran to Tanner and pointed at his diaper and said, "Poot poot."
12) Ok the OCD in me I cannot stop at 11 so had to come up with a 12. These pictures make me laugh:

Why I Don't Want a #2
And no I am talking about poop. I am talking about a second child. A friend of mine just had a baby via C-Section. As she was posting pictures and stuff on Facebook I found myself getting jealous of her. She looked good and had makeup on and everything. From my eyes it looked like she wasn't nearly as tired as I was. I couldn't help but go down memory lane of Caedmon's birth. I started having contractions the morning of Friday October 26th. I was only working from home at this point so I worked all day and prepped every file so whoever was taking care of that case while I was on maternity leave would know what needs to be done with the case.
By the evening contractions started to get more intense and we decided to head to the hospital. Of course they would decrease when I get there and they were going to send me home but didn't because my blood pressure was high. I am so glad they didn't send me home because if they did I would never have gotten any sleep that night. By the time we got me admitted (it was like 10PM) they were getting intense again and if it wasn't for giving me a sleeping pill I would have been awake and in pain all night. So by morning I think I was allowed breakfast but nothing else until after the birth. So the contractions were still intense but dilating was taking F O R E V E R!!! I cannot even remember but at some point during the day I got the epidural and was given petocin to help speed things up. Then my water finally broke and oh my gosh that is like the most weirdest feeling ever. Then if memory serves shortly after getting that mess cleaned up it was Go time. The birth took 45 minutes which I was proud of myself for because I have heard of some people taking like 2 to 3 hours and I cannot even imagine that. 45 minutes is bad enough. So he was born October 27th at 7:13 PM.
Only 4 visitors are allowed in the room at one time and the father (Tanner) counts as one of the four. So I had 9 visitors out in the waiting room anxiously waiting to meet Baby Caedmon. So that means we went through 4 rounds of visitors that night. Just wish they could have all came in at once and get it done and over with. Here I am exhausted and hungry as hell. Thank God Rick went out and brought me McDonald's cheeseburgers and french fries which I devoured. After all of the visitors were done then the nurse cleaned Caedmon, etc. And then I was more than ready to go to bed at this point I was so exhausted. But then the nurse is like okay we got to get you up to go pee and get you moved to your room. I am like are you frickin kidding me? I just want to sleep. So of course because I am so weak and tired I almost pass out trying to get out of the bed. That was really scary and an unpleasant feeling. She said we will try again in 15 minutes and sure enough same thing about happened. So then she called my doctor to find out what to do and they had to give me an IV for a few minutes. Then I was able to get out of the bed and hobble over to the bathroom to do the most unpleasant pee of my life.
Once we got to my new room then I had to try to nurse him which had difficulties there so it took awhile. So I think it was finally about 2AM before I could get some sleep. Not to mention that bed was so uncomfortable and hard to get out of when you are sore as shit. And then pretty sure got awoken about 3 hours later because they have to keep coming in every couple of hours to do blood pressure checks and push on your stomach. And then because was having trouble getting him to latch when I could have been sleeping I was pumping so he could at least get the colostrum.
So I was jealous because my friend was not in labor for over 24 hours and then basically do a really intense workout for 45 minutes on an empty stomach and be awake for about 20 hours in a row. I just think that was all BS but so thankful for my husband who changed ALL of the diapers the whole time we were in the hospital.
I just felt like blogging this but I understand that I have been lucky in other areas that maybe other women have not been. Such as it didn't take long for us to get pregnant and I had no morning sickness. This friend had both of these problems. In fact she was told she could not get pregnant on her own and then they call this baby their miracle baby. So I know there are pluses and minuses to every pregnancy and every person is different. But I just do not want to go through all of that again. And of course this is not the only reason either but I will not get into that now.
