It's been a month since I've updated on the Emerson family. We're doing fine. Titus is still teething. I think 3 teeth are trying to come out. He's been miserable at night. Teething has been a rough experience for all three of us. Justin and I hate seeing Titus in so much pain. We've tried cold stuff, chewing toys and medicine. It all works to a point but never lasts. Sad for my baby boy but during the day he's normally pretty happy.
Lately he's been very attached to me. I leave the room and he crawls like he's running a marathon to get to me. Lots of tears this past week. Justin and I are trying to be patient since we don't remember how bad teething is. But I always think if I was in pain would I want Justin to tell me "you're fine" and be all annoyed. No. I'd be kinda upset. We try and reach down for him when possible but sometimes it's stressful and hard. We're trying our best to constantly show Titus he's loved and we're here for him. Good thing teething doesn't last forever. :)
Titus is always learning something new. Tonight he picked up my hand to tell me he wanted to do high fives. Cute. He's a smart little boy. We're blessed daily that we have him in our lives. I know he's the best part of our days and each others.
Justin has been working from home and it's been awesome. Titus was so excited the first few weeks and he had a hard time napping during the day. Almost liked he'd miss something fun with daddy. It was pretty cute. Now he knows daddy is going to stay upstairs and will nap. We love having breakfast, lunch and dinner with him. Justin wasn't super busy at first. No one really knew what to do or have him do till he got his laptop. He had a few easy days and since he's had his laptop he's been pretty busy. Lots of conference calls and busy work. Justin seems to like it and says he loves seeing us more.
Me- I'm just doing the mommy thing. Taking care of Titus, Justin and then myself. I love being a mommy. It's a huge blessing but lots of work at times. I wouldn't trade it for anything though. I love being with my baby boy. I couldn't imagine taking him to a daycare. I think I'd cry all day long. I know most moms need to work but I didn't want that and I'm so lucky Justin supports my choice about staying home and has made it happen. Titus and I are so blessed. Being a mom is what I've wanted for years and so I soak it up. No, we won't have the nicest/newest stuff or toys but I'm okay with that. Being a mom is way better than a brand new car or Mac or whatever. ;)
Justin and I started dieting about a week ago. Justin is doing really well. I'm constantly starving but I also still nurse Titus so no wonder, right? Haha I've been working out on and off for a month and I've been trying to with the diet but today all I could think about is, I should have eaten before working out. It's been rough on me. We joined a biggest loser competition with my mom, Kurt and my moms friend. I'm hoping Justin or myself wins. I'm pretty excited about it and I want to lose 20-30 lbs. I know I can do it and I have more incentive. Money. Haha but my biggest incentive is Justin and I want to try this summer for baby number two. I want my body to be stronger and healthier for this baby. I need to be more of a beast for labor. Specially since I did Titus completely natural, I know I can do it again.
Besides that Justin and I are searching for places to live. We're still living with my mom which is fine but I'm sure she'd like her house back. We also have Lorraine and the boys coming soon, we need a place for all 6 of us to live. Hoping we find something this weekend. Fingers crossed and praying it happens.
