I hadnt thought about it until about an hour ago, but this will be the first bday Dreycin will get to share with me! How sweet! No big plans, Saturday im going to the Dr Brown my chiropractor to get adjusted and poked on with some acupuncture needles and in the afternoon im going to the Aveda spa to get a facial and massage! I dont need anything, although I wouldnt mind a flourless cake from Cake Flour, an organic baking company here in Louisville! And the state fair is going on right now so im sure ill go gain about 5lbs there sometime this next week!
Read this crap.....no wonder obesity is higher here in kentucky, we have white castle and drumroll please.....(this is from yahoo)
Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger — for Real
Warning: Your cholesterol level may rise just from reading this. The fast foodies' ultimate combo was reportedly dreamed up by a chef in Decatur, Georgia, who brought together the two food faves (a donut sliced in half, with meat and cheese in the middle) and dubbed it the Luther Burger. The calorie bomb has been making its way to ball parks and state fairs, growing a fan base along the way. This year, the Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger is featured at the Wisconsin and Kentucky State Fairs. As one writer for the Christian Science Monitor noted, the burger "sounds atrocious to just about everyone who hasn't tried one." Searches on Yahoo! for the sweet-and-savory treat are sizzling with a whopping 447,225% one-day increase in lookups.
In other news, Dreycin has been sleeping alot better, sometimes sleeping through the night other nights just until 4:30a or 5. He is eating pretty much anything we do, fruits, veggies, chicken, crackers, bread, pizza, muffins.....he loves food! He is starting to take 3-4steps at a time, getting braver by the second to be independent. makes me want another baby. I have also been courting the idea of becoming a professional student, hahaha....yea im thinking about going back to school to do a Physician Assistant program. My aunt finished hers up 1yr ago at OU, and well I think it would be really nice to be in a field where the money is. That way Derek could do whatever he wanted, less pressure on him to be the breadwinner. School is going as fast as he would like, and I dont want to be like ok you have to be in the professional world in 2 years when you get out of the marine corps, What are you going to do......we may as well both be in school at that time! We are young and why not? Im thinking of attending either UT San Antonio Health Science Center or UNT Health Science Center at Fort Worth. As much as I never wanted to go back to Dallas, its where family is and will be able to help us. Its a 3yr program at both, but Im hoping that they will count some of what I have already done in my bachelor's and master's. the other drawback for me is more student loans, but what the hell most of America is in debt. I think im going to start taking some pre-req's like anatomy, chemistry, etc. never was much of a science girl, but i love the medical field. Im thinking more along the lines of OB/GYN practice, working with postpartum depression due to my social work background. Or maybe even psychiatry. It will be 2012 or later before I can start anything.
Im starting to think about Dreycin's 1st bday party. I really wish we could come home that following weekend, because well it would be much more fun with lots of people we know and let's face it there isnt a whole lot in Kentucky to do when its cold. But that same weekend is the Marine Corps Ball, and well Derek has to go. I have no idea what theme or anything we will do, but my other idea is to head up north to an indoor waterpark called Great Wolf Lodge for the weekend before Dreycin's actual Birthday which is a tuesday. Dreycin loves spongebob, balloons, and swimming....so it shouldnt be too hard to make him happy ;)

My first delivery
This past friday one of our couple friends from the MArine Corps gave birth to baby Kai 8lbs 2oz, and best of all they let me share that experience with them! I took pictures/videos, helped mommy Gina breastfeed, and most important just helped those first few hours after delivery. I know it wasnt easy for me and dont know what I would have done without my mom. Being in the Marine Corps no family nearby, is a common theme especially when since their family is in deep deep South Texas. Our friends had lost their first son Alex at 33wks due to preeclampsia 3years ago, so this has been a long road for them to look forward to. What a true blessing they have been given to heal and birth again. Welcome to the World Baby Kai!
Just catchingup
We have been super busy lately, Derek just started Engl 1302 and I am trying to keep up with Dreycin! He is so close to walking, but frankly it scares me because then ill be busier. Is it selfish to wish I had a few more months of crawling!? just kidding!! We finished up our swim lessons for the summer, but I enrolled Dreycin for the fall class on thursday evenings which Daddy will continue to do August 19-mid October. Derek is on cycle break for a few months which means mommy will get lots more help with Dreycin! And i neeeeddd to get back to a workout routine, i havent worked since I dunno when..... We also had Derek's brother come in from New York this weekend and spend some QT time with my boys. Last night we went to a great tapas restaurant, it was a cool experience to share everything even the pitcher of margaritas!! We had a great time together, laughing it up!
About two weeks ago we also went and got a storage space because we were being swallowed by baby items, we needed to de clutter anyways, so Derek my mom and I started packing stuff up we dont use and putting it in storage. Good thing is that I can park in the garage again! We have also finally gotten dreycin to sleep in his crib at night, up until a few weeks ago he was still waking up 4 or more times a night so i just had him either in the playard or in the bed with me because of having to work the next day. We have him eating then bath around 7, then in bed around 8 or 8:30. We have had some really good nights were he will sleep until 2:30 or 3am....but we have had our share of bad nights still because our poor baby is teething, and ironically its his top left that is coming in first but we are looking very close to see two top and two bottom maybe all at the same time. This next weekend we are heading to St Louis to see my dad's sister and her family. We defn want to go see the Arch, but who knows what else we will do! Tomorrow my baby is 9months old, i cant believe it! We have our well baby checkup on tuesday so ill post stat updates! he has somewhat thinned out due to moving so much, and i think is still around 22lbs. I got two new toys, 1 is a mini HP notebook which my intention is to start writing more and I also got a Sony cybershot that has been taking some amazing pictures of D-rex! I'll post some recent pics from our first ever visit to the zoo!

Welcome Home Soldier
Tonight Derek's brother Elliot came home from Iraq, and while he was gone I happen to come across a very cool website dedicated to world prayers.
The light of God surrounds me;
The love of God enfolds me;
The power of God protects me;
The presence of God watches over me.
Wherever I am, God is.
prayer for protection - james dillet freeman - 1941
Circle me, Lord.
Keep protection near
And danger afar.
Circle me, Lord
Keep hope within.
Keep doubt without.
Circle me, Lord.
Keep light near
And darkness afar.
Circle me, Lord.
Keep peace within.
Keep evil out.
