Babysitting

Turns out I get to babysit my baby cousin for two more weeks, yay.  I love watching him.  It gives me good practice, and makes me even more excited for Jason to get here.  I don't know how I can get even more excited. 

I've been up since five seeing Mason off to work, and couldn't get back to sleep.  Now I'm waiting for the little one to get here to start the day.  Mia is currently staring at me, begging me to let her on the chair with me, but there isn't enough room.  She doesn't seem to mind though.  Her eyes are drooping while she lays on the couch as I type.  Don't you just love dogs? 

Pretty soon she'll have at least five toys out begging for attention because the baby's here.  Even though she doesn't beg for attention any other day, and just lays on the furniture sleeping all day.  Of course she decides she needs attention when the baby is here.  But I still love her. 

Mason and I finally applied for housing.  I know, we procrastinated a little bit, but at least were in.  My mom wanted us to wait anyways because she says we need to save up our money before we start renting.  The added bonus is that we probably won't get in until he's born, so she'll get to see him every day.  I'm pretty sure that effected her opinion on housing too. 

We can't wait to have our own place though. I want my independence back, and my privacy.  Don't get me wrong, I appreciate everything my parents are doing, but we would still love a place of our own that we can call ours.  It will make everything seem more stable. 

Hopefully the little one isn't fussy when he gets here.  He's awake even more now.  Wish me luck!  Thanks for reading and have a great day.

Last Week

This is my last week in mommy training.  Unfortunately my cousin will not need a babysitter anymore.  I will miss taking care of a little one on Thursday's.  I can't wait to take care of my little one every day. 

So I'm typing this as the little one is sleeping, but he's deciding to wake up now.  My black lab has been jealous all morning because I've been taking care of the baby.  Once the baby was sleeping, she needed to sit with me on the chair and take a nap.  Keep in mind my black lab, Mia, thinks she's a lap dog when she weighs over 80 pounds.  She loves to take up the whole chair when sitting with you, but we love her anyways.  She's such a sweety, and loves to give the baby kisses. 

So far the baby hasn't been too fussy, and he even fell asleep in my arms.  How adorable is that?  Mason saw him before he left for work.  The baby was just waking up, and he was smiling in his sleep.  I could tell that Mason couldn't wait to be a daddy and see our own son sleep. 

I am so excited for Jason to get here, but so worried at the same time.  I want him to be born healthy, and I don't want him to be premature.  There's just so many things that can go wrong and it's scary.

Well, we got a fussy one.  Time for a diaper change!
