981.
That's how many days it has been since Matti came into our lives. I think as a parent, you catch yourself just watching your child in amazement at how much they have grown. How much they have learned. How that no matter what they do, you can never see yourself loving them any less. In the past weeks or so, I've been catching myself in those moments. Just watching him in everything that he does and I wonder, "When did he get to be such a big boy?" He never ceases to amaze me. Everything he does, I'm proud of. I'm really excited for him because I know he will be the most amazing big brother. Everything he does is so natural to me, and for the past few weeks, we've been seeing people we haven't seen in a while. & they have all made comments about how he's grown, how he talks A LOT, speaks in sentences, has a great appetite, how he has the best demeanor, etc. I see him everyday so it's nothing new to me. I'm used to it, but when people are constantly telling me this, I become more aware of it. And I catch myself just watching him. Right now, he is "writing" which is one of his new favorite things to do. He narrates most of his day. "Mommy, I'm go get my piwow. Mommy, I go lay down and watch TV." Granted, he has his moments (right now) when he is screaming because he doesn't agree with what I did (take the gum he found in my purse away), but for the most part he's a good kid. His tantrum is over now and is laughing and asking me to scroll the screen down haha. We moved him from his toddler bed (his crib converted to one) and bought him a brand new bed. He loves his new bed and feels like such a big boy in it. & that he should because he's a big boy now whether we like it or not.

Date Night.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Jason & I went out to dinner on Saturday. I worked from 7-1pm & soon after we went up the road to see our friend/Matti's godmother. We had a few things we wanted to do as well. Babies R Us is doing their Trade-In event & we were going to get another Britax seat for the new baby. We decided to wait a little bit for it and walked around the store to see if we were interested in anything. Matti kept busy with the toys that were there. We decided to get Matti a toddler bed so that we can get him used to that. His crib converted to a toddler bed, but once the new baby comes, we will need the crib. So, we might as well start the transition to the NEW bed now. They didn't have the one we wanted so they gave us our coupon and told us to go to Toys R Us. Matti was in love with all the toys while we looked to make sure it was what we wanted. After that, we decided to head to Chuck E Cheese! Matti's godmother & another friend were going to stay there with him while we went to dinner. Jason didn't want to miss Matti's first Chuck E Cheese experience so we stayed for a few minutes. He was having such a good time & what was even better is that he got to have his favorite---PIZZA! It was getting close to 7 so we decided to scoot out and head to dinner. At this point, I still had no clue where we were going. Jason reveals that if hadn't eaten chinese the night before, we were going to this little Japanese place. For some reason, I really want sushi so I told him I didn't mind. He said he had another place and we'd grab sushi later on this week. :) Finally, we get there & it was a steakhouse I'd been dying to go to! So, I was really excited, haha. We had to wait a little, but it was fine since they give you a bag of peanuts to munch on. It was also nice because we were able to just sit and talk. Finally, we got called up and sat down at our table. We already looked at the menu and were ready to order. Jason ordered a steak that we would split and I ordered steak kabobs for us to split as well. And a salad. The service was great and we got our food really fast, but as soon as I got my salad, something didn't agree with Baby Bean. My appetite left and I could only eat a little bit. I figured that I'd be okay once my dinner arrived. Nope. I couldn't handle the smell of my food and I found myself struggling to eat. I had to keep pushing my plate away. I felt so bad! We've been looking forward to date night & I was really looking forward to my steaks, haha. I told Jason to just eat while I tried to hold it together. We left about 10 minutes after we received our food. I kept apologizing to Jake, but he was really sweet about it. I told him that we are not to go on any dates until I have passed the first trimester. We got in the car and he plopped a bag in my lap. I was laying back and didn't realized it was a gift for me. We usually don't get each other gifts for Valentine's or any other holiday so I told him I didn't get a chance to get him anything. I wanted to, but I just haven't found anything. He said it was fine. I started opening it & I finally realize what it is. A DSLR. Anyone that knows me knows that this is something I have been wanting for a very long time. I didn't expect to get it now. All I know is that I'm in love with it and I can't wait to learn how to use it to get the best pictures. I've been playing around with it since I got it. When we picked up Matti, I took a few shots. And also at a bridal shower I was at yesterday. Jason is too good to me :) Matti seemed to have a great time and was pretty exhausted when we got there. He spent most of his tokens on a train game...go figure! We can't wait to take him back.

One Day
Jason bought Matti a Wipe Off ABC Book a few months ago. I wasn't quite sure how many would like it since he has little interest in coloring for more than a scribble or two. He doesn't really like crayons. He prefers pens and will doodle during Mass, but for the most part, he'd rather be running around. The other day, I was making dinner & Jason was hanging out with MJ & when I looked, they were using the book. I was amazed that Jason was able to get him to sit still & interested enough to do a few letters. Well, he loves it! We both thought he was done & proceeded to do other things. When I looked down, Matti did a decent job with the letters. All you need to do is trace it, and he does a pretty good job! I'm so proud of him.
Today he asked again to "draw" so I took the opportunity. After we finished the alphabet, he wanted to do more. So I wrote his name in the same dashed manner. & he loved that he was writing his name! See how proud he is?!
So yea. All this and other things are making me want to stay at home with him more & more. I love my job, I love my co-workers, but I love these moments with Matti. This is ME teaching HIM. One day, I hope to be back home with him & future baby Bean.

Happy Birthday, Da!
Today is my Dad's Birthday..if you didn't notice the title. My family celebrated last night since today my parents have Adoration. We ended up going to Teariffic Cafe which was lovely. I always forget about this restaurant and I'm glad my dad chose it. They have the usual Chinese dishes, but also different soups & even Korean BBQ (&Kimchee!). I had trouble picking what I wanted because I wanted everything. I stuck with House Special Fried Rice that I ate only half of. It was delish! My mom got one of their soups & it looked really good. Next time, I want to try it. We also went overboard with ordering appetizers, but I think my favorite was the Fish Balls. They have something similar in the Philippines and it tasted pretty close to it.
Tonight, we are going to hang out at my parents' house until they get home from Adoration. I know that today is the Feast of St. Blaise. My dad's second first name (?) is Blas named after him. So, I'm trying to figure out if they are doing the throat blessings today at church. If they are, we might head over there after I get off work. & then go to my parents' house. We have my dad's gift and we're excited to give it to him :)
The other night, I was driving home from work and I was just thinking about my parents. I was thinking about how far they'd come since we moved to the United States. I was wondering in my mind if they thought they would be where they are in their life now. If they'd have the things they have (although I know my parents are the least materialistic people I know). & it just made me really happy & proud of them. It gives me hope that eventually things will fall into place. I know everything will never be okay, but we can be at that point when we can look back & say, "Look how far we've come." They are both hard workers but not just in the workplace. I know they do their best there. I used to work with my mom & she's very much a perfectionist. & my dad is pretty important at his job. But that's not what I think of at first when I think of them. I think of their hard work for the Lord & how much they love Him. & 99% of what they do is FOR HIM. Every decision they make, they pray about it. They live their life for Him. My parents are the area leaders for our church community, Families in Christ Jesus. My dad has held that "spot" for as long as we've lived here. Aside from working, paying bills, making dinner, and doing everyday things, they have that service. & not once have I heard them complain about it or say how tired they are or how they need a break. I look at them and hope that some day I can have half of the dedication they have to the community. & to TRULY live for Him. I know I'm not at that point yet, but I hope that one day I will be.

Goat Milk Stuff Soaps.
I have waited to do this to make sure I used the products for a while. It's been a little over a month since I made my first order and I just ordered more earlier this week. & I fell in love again! I've been telling anyone that has encountered me all about these soaps. I tell them to smell my samples haha. Someone even said to me, "Do you know how long that stuff has been around?" I brushed it off because I'm not trying to introduce something that is brand new state of the art. I'm just trying to spread the word about this amazing product and the amazing family that makes them. Jason, Matti & I don't use soaps or body wash from the stores anymore. We're a Goat Milk Soap family! :)
A little background. The family is from Indiana and they have eight children. All of them are homeschooled and ALL of them have a job when it comes to the production of these soaps--even the youngest one! One day, during bath time, they happened to look at the bottle of soap they were using. As you all know, it's filled with chemicals that help clean you. & as you know, they can be a little drying too! So, mom decided she wanted to try to make soap on her own & voila! Goat Milk Soap was born.
Okay, so onto my experience with this wonderful, wonderful product! I was introduced to GMS by one of my middle school friends. She has a Beauty Channel on YouTube & does reviews on a lot of products. I kept hearing about "Goat Milk Soap" & how fabulous it was. After hearing about it for a while, I decided to check out the website. I fell in love with the family. I ended up following their blog, on Twitter, Facebook. Yea, call me a creeper, haha.
My first order was a full bar of Oatmeal, Milk & Honey (because it's one of their best sellers) & a half bar of Purity for Matti. He has some mild eczema and I wanted to see if it would help his skin. With every order, you get three free samples. I absolutely love this because it gives you a chance to see if you like other scents. My three samples were: Luv Spell, Clean Cotton, and Pink Sugary. I checked my email three hours after I ordered and there was an email from PJ saying that my soaps will be packaged and shipped later today. WOW! That was fast! The next day, USPS told me it was in transit. The following day, it said that it reached the main center & it was on its way to me! By the time I got home from work that day, it was waiting for me. I was SO excited. First of all, I was amazed at how fast they were shipped! Jason put them in our room and shut the door. I went to get the soaps & the room was filled with this heavenly scent! I quickly opened the box to find our OM&H & Purity Bars. I couldn't wait to try them! They smelled sooo good & the bars look like you could eat them! haha. I was excited about the samples & wanted to order more already.
Oatmeal Milk & Honey.
I ordered this for Jason & me to use. We still have a pretty good amount left of it. It smells heavenly. It has a slightly sweet creamy scent. It just smells so good. I love how it pretty much doubles up as a freshener in our bathroom. It just fills the room with its smell. Jason really likes it and actually will tell people to try out GMS. It lathers up really nicely which is a surprise! & it's also super smooth when you are using it. It just glides onto your skin. I have pretty dry skin & especially in the winter. Other soaps & bodywashes, dry out my skin too much. (due to the chemicals) Keep in mind, GMS, has ZERO. Since using this soap, my skin does not feel "tight" after showers unlike when using regular store brand soaps. That had me sold! After using it for a month plus, my skin feels smoother and it just looks & feels better. I had some issues with my legs. They would get so dry that I would scratch them in my sleep without even knowing. I would then have scarred legs. Since using GMS, my legs look 10x better. It was really something I was hoping for and I'm glad to have found GMS because of this alone. The soaps really are moisturizing and that's something I really need. Aside from that, I love that throughout the day, I will get a whiff of OM&H and I find myself smelling my arm sometimes. The scent stays on your skin! I love it. A+ on OM&H. (I almost typed "OMG")
Purity.
This one we are using on Matti. He has mild eczema and I was afraid that in the winter it will get worse again. To start out, I wanted to try Purity. It's just a white bar & smell like nothing. It's just a clean & pure smell. Once he runs out, I might get him a different scent. Before GMS, he had rough patches on his wrist, elbows, and lower legs. Since using GMS, the patches have been under control. His wrists patches are gone, has a tiny bit on his elbows & his lower legs are gone. So far, I think it is working pretty well. I think he takes after his momma & gets the dry skin from me. Unfortunately. He's not scratching that much and I think that makes him happy. Which makes me happy. He does love smelling the scenty soaps, though! He wants to smell them over & over again.
I brought my samples into work and one of my co workers wanted to order some & so did my boss. On Monday morning, I ordered our soaps. I got a full bar of Pink Sugary for myself & a full bar of Nautical for Jason. My co-worker ordered two bars. She got a full bar of Pink Sugary & a full bar of Luv Spell. Just like last time, three hours after my order, I received an email saying it was getting packaged & mailed out later that day. Two days later, it was at my doorstep! Again, Jason put it in our room and when I got home, it was fulled with a beautiful scent. I opened it up and read over my order. It was so cute...one of the kids, the one PJ (the mom) said was going to package my order up, wrote a little note. "Enjoy! Brett :) " Every single one of the soaps smells sooo good! Nautical is the "manly" scent so I got that for Jason since Pink Sugary is a little more on the feminine side. A little. I'm sure he can still use it. Luv Spell is VERY feminine so he wouldn't use that. haha. My three samples were honeysuckle, cider press & black raspberry. We liked all three of them and I wanted to order more already, haha. Honey suckle is a very sweet scent and smells like summer. It smells just like honeysuckle. Go figure! Cider Press reminds me of fall. It smells very apple-cinnamony. Black Raspberry is one I liked too. It kind of smells like a raspbery smoothie & vanilla ice cream all in one. It has such a yummy smell. Matti wanted to eat it. I think he thought it was ice cream, haha.
So, overall, I love the Jonas family & I love Goat Milk Stuff Soaps. The price isn't bad either. It's about $5-$6 for a full bar and that lasts a long time! You can also get a half bar or the travel size! :) I like the full bars though because it comes in a cute little drawstring cotton bag with their logo on it. & if you order more than one, they will have a stamp saying what soap is inside. It could've been in my first order, but I didn't see it. Check out their website. They have other products aside from the soaps. They have lip balms, laundry detergent, bath bombs, & more! Check them out! http://goatmilkstuff.com/

I'm an Auntie!
Again. My youngest sister in law had her baby yesterday at 2:25 pm. It was an eventful day for everyone. Baby T decided he wanted to make his debut in 2010. His due date wasn't until 1/11/11. He also was coming feet first so she needed a caesarean section. She is doing wonderful, daddy is doing great, & baby is so cute! Did I mention he was 4lbs 8 oz? I thought I was a small baby at 4lbs 14oz, but Baby T is even smaller. He is tiny, but so unbelievable handsome. I don't know when we'll visit again, I vote tonight! He took everyone by surprise. Mommy thought she was having Braxton Hicks, but she was having the real thing! She did great though & daddy was a big help. So proud of you two <3

Feeling accomplished.
There's always a good feeling after paying bills. I usually take the Mondays after payday to go through our list of bills to figure out when they need to be paid. I like to pay them as soon as possible so that we can just have our fun money without worrying about spending money that should've gone to the bills. We are pretty good with our money management. I like being thrifty and saving where we are able to but at the same time still be able to enjoy things that we like.
This weekend was pretty busy. I had a headache most weekend and it's still lingering, but I tried not to let that bother me. I worked Saturday and the day went by fast. Santa was at the bank so it was fun seeing the kids & puppies come in to see him. My little man showed up and sat in his lap. He enjoyed the cookies more though ;) After work, I went home and started cooking my chili. We had a meeting that night at our house so while I cooked, Jason cleaned. I love him for that! We had a good meeting and good company but I was tired. Plus, my head hurt. That night we decided to have a sleepover in the living room so we got the futon mattress and placed it on the floor. Jason fell asleep way before Matti & me did so we watched The Hitcher. Matti loves scary/thriller movies!
The following morning, we went to Mass like usual. After that, Jason's family came over to have some chili for lunch. They were heading to the mall & Jason needed for them to take his boots back up because the worker forgot to take the security tag off. & of course, I had to let them try the chili! After they left, it was just in time for the Redskins/Cowboys game to start. I was really unexcited about it. McNabb had just been benched for the season & honestly, I like him! I don't think he's the whole problem and it just upset me that he is being treated the way he is. Rex Grossman, who is the starting quarterback now, had a lot to prove for fans. The second half was a lot more exciting, but we fell short after he threw an interception at the last few seconds of the game. He played a lot better than what I expected, but STILL. I want McNugget back :( After our loss, I wanted to go to Target. I saw a few things that I wanted and we managed to get a lot of our shopping done for our family. We got home and wrapped all the gifts and they are all under the tree now. We just need to work on his parents' gift & we have to put Matti's together. We both agreed that we did good with our little shopping run.
I hope this week goes fast because I'm just ready to have some good food & enjoy family time. =) Remember guys, Christmas doesn't begin until Christmas Day!
Until next time.
This weekend was pretty busy. I had a headache most weekend and it's still lingering, but I tried not to let that bother me. I worked Saturday and the day went by fast. Santa was at the bank so it was fun seeing the kids & puppies come in to see him. My little man showed up and sat in his lap. He enjoyed the cookies more though ;) After work, I went home and started cooking my chili. We had a meeting that night at our house so while I cooked, Jason cleaned. I love him for that! We had a good meeting and good company but I was tired. Plus, my head hurt. That night we decided to have a sleepover in the living room so we got the futon mattress and placed it on the floor. Jason fell asleep way before Matti & me did so we watched The Hitcher. Matti loves scary/thriller movies!
The following morning, we went to Mass like usual. After that, Jason's family came over to have some chili for lunch. They were heading to the mall & Jason needed for them to take his boots back up because the worker forgot to take the security tag off. & of course, I had to let them try the chili! After they left, it was just in time for the Redskins/Cowboys game to start. I was really unexcited about it. McNabb had just been benched for the season & honestly, I like him!
