twenty eight.

oh, smiles!
after last nights little spat with my husband, i asked him again today if i could order my camera. before he told me i couldn't do it now, i was fine with waiting. but, that made me mad and i wanted it now. he asked me what it was that i was looking at, that he hears me talk about it, but never actually sees it. so, i handed him my laptop. he handed it back to me about 15 minutes later with Amazon telling me that there was an order placed. not only had he gotten me the camera, but the starter kit with a camera bag, tripod (which will be amazing so i dont cut someones face off by holding it in front of me) and an SD card, extra battery, and lens cleaner. i was sooo excited. i can not wait to take pictures of the boys, and our new daughter, and especially Ryders birthday photos!! as much as i love the photographers works out here, it's so much more personal when i take them and i don't feel like i'm telling someone else what to do!

and, i can finally breathe!!! my downstairs at least, is super clean! and i slept in until noon. Mike cleared out our dining room area and made it into Ry's giant play corner, which we have been talking about for a month now. he vacuumed and did all the dishes and washed the counter and the stove. i woke up to the house smelling like cleaning supplies, which i love! so, everything downstairs is done and clean and it makes for a happy mama. next weekend, upstairs. which, includes my bookshelf haha. we even went grocery shopping and it went well. i tend to get irritated with him when we go, he never gives opinions on what he wants to eat. i got a lot of random things i had found online, so i hope it goes well. so tired of eating the same things! wish me luck at not burning my house down!

but, the best part about the day. lol.
i finally made him text his mom. well, really, i wrote the text and he hit send. just "it's a girl" he really, doesn't want to talk to her. and now, i'm starting to see why, seriously. the entire conversation was like one you would have with a random person at a grocery store. she asked names and he said it's between Lyvia and Kynslie (i still can't make up my mind.) and when she said Kynslie is different, he said yeah, that he didn't really like it but it more my choice this time. so, he got points there.
she threw a little "pity me" and said, "well, it's not like i'll see this one either, just like your son. i havent seen any pictures of him for awhile from you."
so, he sent her a picture.
of him in the tub with a water mohawk, and the side of his face. bahahahahahahahahaha.
now, i can't lie. my husband takes some of the cutest pictures of our son on his phone and he sends her that one. one where you can't even see the baby's face. classic babe, classic. well, if that isn't a big fuck you. haha.
she told him that it looked like he was growing a lot of hair, which, he is. and Mike said yeah, i grew mines out so i could do my hair like his. so, she asked for a picture of that. he knows i have loads on my phone, but he told her that he wasn't sure where any were.
reading this conversation after my husband went to sleep, i decided not to further push the issue of her visit. though he told me it would be nice if she met his son, clearly, even though i was all for it and had o negativity, it wasn't even important to him to talk about that, or involve her in our life. he knows i dont want her out here passed the end of June so, that's all on him. when i ask him if he's okay with my mom coming for the birth, if her pansy ass gets over the fear of flying, he has absolutely no problem with it. it's a good feeling. but then again, my mom has never hurt him, or disrespected him in the slightest. but, just knowing he would much rather have her here, and talk to her, over his own mom. melts my heart just a little bit and i hope that means a lot to my mom as well.

i love my husband. and he is starting to come around. i know i'm not the easiest to live with.
we bought a $5 mini watermelon at the Commissary today and he told me it was lucky i'm pregnant, that's an expensive watermelon! lol. he's the greatest dad, and Ryder is attached to his hip all weekend. he really started to flourish as a baby once his Daddy got home. and i can see how in love they are with one another, everyday and all the time. he's just as goofy as his dad too. he has stopped saying any comprehendible word, except for "Ackie" which, he doesn't really know what it means. and he sure knows how to push mommy's buttons like daddy does too. it's pretty amazing what that little boy does to my rough and tough husband. and anyone that knew him before would be so, so proud of him for who he has become. i'm in awe myself! and i know that me, our son, and our daughter, are so lucky to have him as ours. <3

now, off to finish my sisterhood everlasting book, which makes me sad. i've read all of them and didn't expect this ending. and snuggle up and go to sleep. since i get to wake up with my beautiful son in the morning and watch Mickey and listen to hims babbles all day. my favorite part about mondays. :)

-ks.
