La Bella Vista

I am a recent college graduate but have chosen to primarily be a stay at home mom for now. I do work part time but thankfully my wonderful husband is able to keep my beautiful Little Bit. I have 2 cats whom I love VERY much!

Thirteen Random Thoughts of Ashley


1. Little Bit stayed with her grandparents for a short amount of time last night and didn't cry. This both excites me and terrifies me. It is nice not having to worry as much that she is screaming; however, independence is coming fast!! I figured out that in 6 months if I have nursed her 5 times a day, then I have nursed 900 times. I know it is more than that though b/c she was waking up at night for awhile and I think we used to nurse about 6 times during the day. I won't get to do that 500 more times with her though b/c I plan to be done by 12 months (not to mention she is quickly deciding solid food is great stuff)
2. On that same note--time is passing too too too fast!! It is almost JUNE!! It was just Christmas and now the year is almost half over!! How do you slow it down?
3. Lost is a great show but I am tired of the unanswered questions. Come on guys!!
4. I want to meet Ellen Degeneres. I want to go to her show. I think she's great!
5. I have my breastfeeding group today. I love my group. It is SO nice to get together with the people who totally understand what I am going through. It is funny that I have been nursing for almost 7 months now and I'm still going to a support group :)
6. Little Bit is playing with her wipes. Am I a bad mom? Anything in the house that I don't feel is a choking/hurting hazard I basically let her play with. Her eyes just light up everytime I find something new for her. I love that look but can't afford new toys everyday!
7. I am trying to stop going to Starbucks. The problem with this is that B gave me a giftcard for Mother's Day. I think I may have Starbucks today...just to start using the card, you see. I don't want to make him feel bad :)
8. I read that if Little Bit is trying to get a toy, I shouldn't just give it to her but let her try and get it herself. It is so hard not to just bump it a little so she can easily reach it. At the same time, I'd like her to be a bit independent (totally contradicting #1).
9. I have a dr's appt tuesday about this thing in my face (supposedly a lymph node). Please pray!!
10. I have a firehouse sub in the fridge that I am absolute DYING for! I would eat it now but then I won't have anything for lunch.
11. In the middle of the night (or early morning) when Little Bit needs to eat, I sit in a chair in her room. There's a little wall right when you come in her room that her nightlight is on but from my chair you can't see around the wall to see the door. My cat will walk around through the door and cast a HUGE shadow and scare me. everytime.
12. i just had to go change a diaper. I think Little Bit may be constipated. suggestions?
13. B and I shredded about 8 bags of stuff this week. Junk that we've had for about 5 years. I felt accomplished when I got finished with that. We also got the office to looking a little more...organized. Now if we could just sell the house.

Great 13! My nephew is at that more independent stage now. If you don't watch close, he's across the room in a split second! Much to his 2 year old sister's delight! Thanks for stopping by my 13!

Those days with baby are so precious! I remember well how hectic life was; but in retrospect, every minute is invaluable. Try to relax and enjoy! My 13 are also posted.

Thank you for visiting my TT.
My hubby and I were huge fans of the first season of Lost, but we got fed up with this season's. I don't even know if they know where they are going with the show.

Want you to know that I have been praying for you, just remember God is in control! I know I have shared most of this with you, but I totally relate to the independence thing, I want JC to be independent, but at the same time it makes me so sad. We totally give JC anything that isn't hazardous or dangerous. Ron cracks me up with constantly searching for what he can give him. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I really enjoy reading yours by the way! Blessings!

OH this is a wonderful T 13! First love the nickname for "little bit"...that's precious.

Hmmmmmmm constipated? If you're nursing it's your food intake if I remember correctly (I haven't had a little one around in 33 years)

Thanks for stopping by my T 13

Try fruit juice for the constipation and increase her fluid (not milk) intake.

Hope you had a great TT

Oh baby days, I miss them. We wanted to get into "Lost" but I kept forgetting to set the tivo & by the time I did; we were too lost when we watched it so we gave up. Good luck with Little Bit's constipation.

I so remember all those baby things you're talking about. My youngest is now 5. I miss the baby stage. :( As for #4, I live in the L.A. area and I've been to 4 tapings of Ellen's show. She's the best!
