Our (my parents) bedroom was the only room we hadn't touched yet - it was time for a change. Evidently it's the one room I didn't take a picture of when we moved in, probably because it was nothing special.<br />
<br />
After cruising through Pinterest I found some <a href="http://pinterest.com/tesspjoy/master-bedroom/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">inspiration.</span></a> Then it was time to convince Dustin that he needed to do this project for me :) After 4 hours in Menards, two tired Kiddos and much more money spent that I thought we would need :( we headed home and got started. It turned out SOOO much better than I thought it would. I'm so happy with and and love waking up in my bright, sunny bedroom!<br />

My Baby furniture! Dad painted it an off white color with a little bit of pearl in it. I put new hardware on it and dustin replaced the drawer glides. They are like new and I LOVE them :) Dustin also built a surround for the TV and mounted it to the wall to get it up off of the dresser. </div>

My beautiful headboard! I got the old door at the Antique Shoppe here in town and Dustin built the whole headboard and frame. We decided to go a head and go with a king sized bed this time. And he wired up mason jar reading lights on each side complete with the vintage looking edison bulbs. We each have our own switch with a dimmer.... awesome.</div>

Asher,</div>
<div align="center">
You're four? How is it possible that you're that big already? Am I really old enough to have a four year old?!?! You are one of the funniest little people I know. You crack me up everyday and you can go from the sweetest thing to my last nerve very quickly. Luckily you know how to get back in my good graces in no time :) Like yesterday. I was stressing out because we have your party today and I was trying to clean and work on some photos and your brother was fussy and I was trying not to have a meltdown. I just plopped down on the steps and you came right up to me and gave me the biggest hug. I just about cried. I love you Chester. </div>

Right now you are really into dirt bikes, 4 wheelers and monster trucks. You don't eat enough to keep a bird alive but drink GALLONS of milk. I think you loved school and learned so much this past year. You've done a great job playing with your brother lately - even sharing once in a while :) </div>

We are officially on Summer Break! Asher did AWESOME in his first year of Pre-K - especially considering he was the youngest in his class by quite a bit! We are very excited that he'll have the same teacher next year :) Here his before and after pictures from his first and last day of school! I can't believe how much of a baby he was!</div>

Tuesday we had a follow-up visit with our cardiologist Dr Bash. Adler had a repeat echo and we had great news! Although he didn't grow out of his murmur like we had first hoped the good news is that his pulmonic stenosis is growing WITH him, which Dr Bash says is great. Other than that he said he looks good and he didn't see a need to see him for another 2 years! <br>

On Tuesday we had our 12 month check-up with Dr Wenger. I wasn't shocked to see that Adler was only 1/2" taller and 2 oz less than Asher was at this age. My boys seem to be right on track with each other. <br>
<br>
Weight: 22 lbs 4 oz. (60%)<br>
Height: 31 inches. (90%)<br>
<br>
While we were there I asked her about the bone sticking out of his chest. About 4-6 weeks ago Adler got done eating and he was filthy so I took his shirt off while he was in his high chair to try to clean him up and immediately noticed that something looked funny on his chest. When I felt it it seemed like he had a bone sticking out of his chest where his sternum was. I called my mom and showed it to Dustin but no one knew what it was. At that time we had just started with a new doctor and I had been there like a million times that first week so I didn't wanna call her yet again screaming that now Adler had a bone protruding from his chest.....<br>
<br>
So she felt it yesterday and wasn't sure what it was. We decided to go ahead and have it X-rayed so that I felt better and she would know what it was. So that's what we did today. Poor kid has had 3 appointments in the last 3 days! I'm very curious to see what's going on with my lil man. <br>

You are still on breastmilk!!! Our supply is SUPER low but we've made it to a year. YAY for us! That was a huge goal for Mama and I'm so proud of myself - cuz it was one tough year for me.

Back when I posted about my <a href="http://www.dustintesspopejoy.blogspot.com/2012/04/baby-favorites.html" target="_blank">favorite baby items</a> I talked about buying Adler a little nightgown made by Kickee Pants at Von Maur. I was seriously in love with this little thing! I even took it to the hospital with me - not so he would actually wear it - but to maybe just pet it while I was in labor and imagine my little bubby wearing it - its THAT SOFT. But we all know things did not go as planned at the hospital :(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways - I always wished Kickee Pants made clothes in my size and although I did find where they made a pajama set it was a long sleeve button down top and pants - not something I would normally wear. While I was up in the middle of the night pumping a few weeks ago I looked at an email from Totsy and my eyes immediately went to the words "Bamboo Fabric." I knew Adler's little outfits were made out of Bamboo. I had never bought anything off of Totsy before but I bought 3 half price gift certificates from a company called<a href="http://www.leslunes.com/" target="_blank"> Les Lunes</a> because I was sold on the fact that they had bras (and nursing bras) made out of bamboo!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got right on that night and placed my first order. I ordered a regular bra and a nursing bra. They looked like this:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I ordered both bras in an XS based on their "fitting room" suggestions. A couple of days later I got a phone call from them saying that they did not have the nursing bra in an XS so we decided I would try the size small. She said to let her know how it fit. I was SO excited when I got my package in the mail. The regular bra fit perfect but I was so bummed that the nursing bra was just too big. So I called them up - and got a REAL person :) We chatted for a while and she said they would be sending me out a cami that would be easy to nurse in. I got the cami last week:</div>

Last weekend Asher went for his first ride at the VVORV or "Ridin' Club" as he calls it. It was freezing but it was good practice to go out there when there was no one there. He has never really rode anywhere but the open field at the end of our street so I was a little nervous about him trying to maneuver the "track."</div>

I think Dustin and Asher will be spending lots of time out there this summer. I can only handle so much - that's my tiny baby out there - so we'll see how much I'll be out there. My Brother said I'll be a "MotoMom" whatever that is before I know it.....</div>

Last week I took an inventory of my breast milk. Wait, let's back up to why I did that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week I had a consultation for LASIK. I've had glasses/contacts since I was in 3rd grade and I have 20/400 vision. That means what I see at 20 feet from an object someone with 20/20 vision would see the same quality 4 football fields (400') behind me. Both of my parents had it done a few years ago and they said it was life changing. I finally made the decision to do it and got all the way through the appointment and ready to schedule surgery when they asked me if I happened to be pregnant or breast feeding. I was struck down, I had no idea how your hormones could mess with your eyesight. So now I will have to wait until I've been done nursing for 6 weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that, coupled with my recurring mastitis made me think about when I planned on being done breastfeeding. I decided to sort and take inventory of my frozen milk to see how long it would last.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8jw1EDt1MJDFo7PDcxkuM39B0LhSGsGR32GK1ycydOS6iq1ZIv9ZkKGwXem8rxj-f_A0mdqyLUO68ipOvenUWzd7hTddpjFH-JfvVZdAZF9n5YbLpvaJMeUIxw6ez9oLFdath8_qsyGI/s1600/DSC_0005+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8jw1EDt1MJDFo7PDcxkuM39B0LhSGsGR32GK1ycydOS6iq1ZIv9ZkKGwXem8rxj-f_A0mdqyLUO68ipOvenUWzd7hTddpjFH-JfvVZdAZF9n5YbLpvaJMeUIxw6ez9oLFdath8_qsyGI/s640/DSC_0005+(2).JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly, this 1,059 ounces would only last Adler about 5 weeks. So I made the decision to keep going until he was as close to a year old as possible. Dr Austman told me that she was very happy I had made it this long and if I really felt the need due to the mastitis that it was OK. I'm glad I have a Dr that totally understands the emotional side of breastfeeding! Well the very next day I was hit with I believe my 11th round of mastitis. If you've ever had it you are cringing right now. I've you've never had it I'll just tell you I'd rather recover from a c-section again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm getting off topic! OK so some people on Facebook asked how I got to have such a big stash. With Asher I was seriously lucky to have 6 ounces frozen at one time. With Adler the SMARTEST thing I did is when he started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks I set my alarm and got up at 2 AM every single night and pumped. This all came from my middle of the night pumpings - about 3 months worth. It solved a couple of problems. I was waking up in the morning terribly engorged so it relieved that and also gave me milk that he didn't need to stockpile. I totally recommend everyone do this. When you're used to getting up in the middle of the night anyway it really isn't that big of a deal. I would get up and either read or check Facebook while I pumped and got anywhere between 8-16 ounces a day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't tell you how proud I am of my milk. Sometimes I have to go open up the deep freeze and just look at it. :)</div>

My Little Buddy went to see Dr Austman today for his 9 month check-up!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Height: 29.5" (90%)</div>
<div align="center">
Weight: 20 lbs 9 oz (50%)</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
All is going well! She is very happy that I'm still nursing but discussed quitting for reasons that will be in another post. She did warn me that when I quit nursing Adler's eczema will probably get worse. We continue to treat his eczema with special lotion twice a day and a prescription cream for when it gets bad. I'm hoping when it warms up it will get better.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
The funniest thing is when I got home I pulled out my blog book to see how big Asher was at his 9 month check up. They were the EXACT same height and their weights only differed by 2 oz! I would have sworn Adler was bigger :)</div>

With Adler I exclusively breastfed until he turned 6 months. My Dr told me if he was nursing well there was no reason to introduce any rice cereals or baby food until then. I had made the decision to try making my own baby food while I was pregnant so I bought a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Bullet-Complete-Care-System/dp/B004V5BTUA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360961738&sr=8-1&keywords=baby+bullet" target="_blank">baby bullet</a>. It was super easy but over the past few months I've found that I like to make bigger batches so it isn't very convenient. My sister and brother got me the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ninja-Professional-Stackable-Chopper-Bowls/dp/B009SYT3QG/ref=sr_1_32?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1360961792&sr=1-32&keywords=ninja" target="_blank">Ninja Stackable Chopper</a> for Christmas and it works great! </div>

This is a butternut squash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had no idea what I was buying the first time - I had never made any kind of squash before. I've found now it works best for me if I find one with a long, thick "neck." </div>

The first thing I do is slice it about 1-1.5" thick. I had no clue what I was doing the first time so if this is not the correct way to cut up a squash, please, don't tell me.</div>

My squash weighed a little over 4 lbs and cost me $2.50. I got about 37 ounces of baby food out of it. If I calculate that correctly it would cost about $6.50 to buy the same about of Gerber squash. And I've had both... mine tastes better!</div>

I usually keep a little out for him to eat that day and put the rest in ice cube trays to freeze. I just set them in the deep freeze for about 24 hours then break them out of the molds and put them in freezer bags. Then it is so easy for me to pull out what he gets for that day each morning. Right now he is eating about 6 ounces at each meal (each cube is about 1oz). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will keep making his food for sure. Its something I really enjoy doing, I think its better for him and it is less expensive. A win-win for me.</div>

Some of the other foods he enjoys: sweet potatoes, avocados, bananas, peas, carrots, potatoes. I also puree my Mom's homemade chicken & noodles, veggie soup and one dish dinner. Those are probably his favorites! For some reason my little man doesn't care for fruit!</div>

** I also did bananas this week. I bought a 3 lb bunch at Sam's for $1.48 and I got 44 oz of baby food out of it. That is the equivalent of paying $0.25 for each 2 pk of Gerber (Those run about $1.19 at Dave's when they're on sale **</div>

I never published it **<br />
<br />
I don't even know where to begin. The decision to be a SAHM was not one that was made overnight. Of course after Asher was born I thought about how nice it would be to be able to stay at home but financially we weren't prepared. I think we weren't financially prepared because until you carry a child for 9 months, give birth and see their little face for the first time you really have no idea what it is like to be a Mom - what its like to hold and feed and care for your own child. So reluctantly, I went back to work.<br />
<br />
When I found out I was pregnant with Adler I started to think about it a little more. Then they found the <a href="http://dustintesspopejoy.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-gots-2-legs-mommy.html" target="_blank"><i>amniotic band</i></a> and I made the decision then and there if there was something wrong with my baby I would do whatever it took to stay home. Well a few weeks later we found out he was going to be fine. But - that got me thinking. Why would I do everything in my power to stay home with a baby with special needs but not if he was healthy? So I started looking into staying home. I joined the SAHM board on <a href="http://www.babycenter.com/" target="_blank">BabyCenter</a> and learned a lot there. From there I found that I really needed to live off of Dustin's income for a while to see if we could actually do it. As of October we have been living off of just Dustin's income for a full year and socking mine away in an emergency fund. <br />
<br />
It was during this time that I made a lot of decisions that would make it possible for me to stay home. I grew out my hair - between Asher & me we were spending nearly $1,000 a year on hair! I made my own laundry detergent. I drove the Bug every.single.day even when my belly got huge because it got twice the MPG that my truck does. I started to meal plan and basically cut my grocery budget in half. I started following the "We're Debt Free" board on BabyCenter. I have learned SO much there. They made me think about things I had never thought about before. Like the fact that we were paying $45/mo for XM radio in 3 vehicles and $20/mo for Onstar that I had never used. It was those ladies that introduced me to <a href="http://www.youneedabudget.com/" target="_blank">YNAB </a>and it has changed my life! You really have no idea where your money is going each month until you have to categorize each expense.<br />
<br />
Now, when I go shopping (which isn't that often) I really stop to think about whether or not I need something. Dustin and I are fortunate enough (or disciplined enough) to not have any credit card debt and very little consumer debt (damn you boat). If we had a lot of debt to be paid down we would not have been able to do this so soon.<br />
<br />
I'm so glad I had the foresight to start saving for baby #2 early. And by early I mean January 2010 - Asher was 6 months. In January 2010 I opened yet another <a href="http://www.ingdirect.com/" target="_blank">ING</a> account and named it "baby savings." I started with putting $5 a week in it and every couple of months I would increase the amount. By the time I had Adler we had $4,000 saved so we were able to pay all our medical bills in full. <br />
<br />
Probably one of the best things I did - that finally pushed me over the edge into full SAHM mode was read Dr Laura's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/In-Praise-Stay-at-Home-Moms-ebook/dp/B002361NCS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1348258646&sr=8-2&keywords=in+praise+of+stay+at+home+moms" target="_blank">In Praise of Stay at Home Moms</a>. I saw where <a href="http://back2basicsblog.com/" target="_blank">Julie</a> had read it and bookmarked it to read later. I'm so glad I did. It really made me think. She asked questions like "If you were to die and know you're coming back as an infant.... would you choose to have your Mommy take care of you or go to daycare." Suddenly this was not a hard decision at all.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong - I'm not gonna judge any working Mommy. I was one for 3 years and its hard. And staying home is gonna be hard. But at this time I feel like home is where I need to be.<br />

Lately I've been giving some thought about my return to blogging. I think I might finally be over my hissy fit. The only problem is that now that I'm home I can't seem to find the time to sit down for 5 minutes! My Sweet Boy will turn 9 months on Monday (HOW is that POSSIBLE!?) so I think that might be a good time to start back up again. I won't make any promises that it'll happen but I can try. Is anyone still even out there?</div>
