Greysons One Month

Image
Just catching up!  I can't believe how fast my baby turned one month old!  I also cant believe how much you can love such a small little person!  And I also can't believe how someone so small can make so much noise, have so much stuff and completely change everything you know about life so completely! At one month old, Greyson has/can... Started to gaze at things a little further away from him.  Especially lights Looks like hes almost smiling!  It'll happen soon! Has been to church once.  It was a little too much.  Mommy had to go home early with a screaming baby Has discovered that he loves to be rocked by daddy Has peed and pood on both mommy and daddy.  Though his favorite was when daddy was rocking him and his diaper didnt do his job causing daddy to jump up in shock... what a fun ride! Peed in his own face Stopped his super high pitched screech and started to cry a bit more like a regular baby sound Put up with mommy taking lots and lots of pictures!

New Years Resolutions

Well, its the last day of the year.  I have to say that 2012 has been pretty action packed and memorable!  It really has been an amazing year!  In 2012 we... Found out we were pregnant on Feb 14 Rob got a job with the TSA which seemed like a great opportunity Rob got a job in Vegas doing water treatment I loved every minute of my time working with the Four Seasons in Westlake Village I worked with some great private clients We were able to get someone to take over our lease in California We moved to Las Vegas Made lots of friends here Robs job spoiled us with company dinners and get-togethers.  They really treat us like family.  Its a great company! We welcomed Greyson Robert into our lives with a quick and easy labor! We were able to have so many friends and family visit with us and Greyson We know how blessed we have been and want to thank every person that has helped us in any way over the past year.  We realize we have so many angels in our lives, both a fri

Birth Story!

Image
Welcome to the world, Greyson Robert!  Born on October 18, 2012, weighing 7 lbs and 19 inches!  I seriously still cannot believe he's finally here and that he's all mine!  I mean, I guess I gotta share him with his dad too, but they actually let us take him home like it was no big deal!  Here is Greysons birth story!  It's really not too long! On October 17th, I woke up to my bloody show, which gave me this nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach, cause I know that means labor is coming soon!  I went to my doctors appt, which I already had scheduled, and he said I was at 2 cm, and my cervix was softening, so he guessed I'd deliver within 5 days.  I went grocery shopping for the week, and went home.  I was feeling tired, so I laid down for a bit, and then got up to start dinner.  I was in the kitchen in front of the stove when I felt a POP-GUSH, and just like that, my water broke.  I was a bit in shock before I sprang into action to avoid having  big puddle in the k

Maternity photos and baby stuff

Image
I had my maternity photos taken by a friend of mine.  Lora Knight, @ Loraknightphotography.com .  She just opened up a studio and is great! I'm really happy with how they turned out, I just wish Rob could have been there for some photos too!  I'm feeling a little weird with the idea of printing something up of just me to hang on the wall.  Maybe I can incorporate one or two into a collage of the baby or something ;) I just love how long my hair looks in the last one!  That will be one to save for the future when I have old haggard hair!  lol. In baby news, no baby yet.  This week I will be 39 weeks, so really, it could be any day now.  I'm really crossing my fingers its sooner than later.  I really don't want to be induced, though my doctor hasn't said anything on the subject.  I really don't know what his policy on the subject is.  He hasn't even checked me to see if I'm dilated at all, which I am completely fine with.  It kinda gives me the impre

Dragon Fruit, Crockpot Stroganoff, and our new vacuum!

Image
So I was grabbing something at Whole Foods, and right at the front entrance, there were these Dragon Fruits, and the sign said "Last of the season" so I figured if I wanted to try them, now was the time!  I've never tried them before, and they're just so dang pretty, don't you agree? (I had to look up how to eat and serve them, cause I had NO clue!)  Next up, I wanted to share my super easy crockpot beef stroganoff.  Like, super easy. All you need is: 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 can beef broth 8 oz of sour cream 1 lb beef cut into strips (I used chuck medallions) 1 box pasta of your choice (ie egg noodles, rigatoni, etc) First sear the strips super fast, toss into the pot. Then toss the soup and broth into the pot on cook on low for around 4-6 hours When you're ready to eat, mix in the sour cream, and the cooked noodles and you're ready to go.  Add some salt if you'd like.  It's ok, no ones looking ;) Next up, Rob finally

Meal planning

Ok, so I've never done this meal menu planning thing before.  I've seen other people explain the way they do it, but its so hard to figure it our for your own family.  The only way I could get it to semi make sense for me was to work it out myself.  I'm sure I'll get it down over time...probably as soon as I have no time due to a crying baby...lol.  So here is my goal. Once a week I want to try certain things.  So, Mondays I will try a new breakfast item.  Preferably one that is a little more time consuming than eggs or cereal, and preferably one that makes enough to cover and have stuff for the next day or two, or three.  Like Cinnamon rolls, or muffins of some kind. Thursdays will be my shopping day for the week. Fridays I will try some sort of new bread roll, or bread loaf.  I have NO talent whatsoever making things that require yeast, so I'm hoping that by trying and trying again, I might get it down a little better.  Or at least find one out of a hundred

Foot in mouth...

So, today I was talking to some new people from church(as in new to me since I'm the new person), and somehow the topic of working at Wal-mart came up.  I mentioned how I had worked at Wal-mart through massage college, but in Utah, its the college place to work.  I then mentioned how where I'm from, its very different, as its the "special" place to work where you have to be either missing a limb, or have half a brain.  The girls then start laughing as one of them says that Wal-Mart wouldnt hire her, and she did in fact have half a brain...it was removed when she was a child.  I really could have died right there.  How often does an off-the-wall comment like that actually end up being true?!?  What a beautiful spirit she must have though to be able to laugh about it instead of getting offended or hurt.  But really, not one of my finer foot-in-mouth moments. (I swear, the absolute only time Rob talks to me and expects responses is when I am writing a blog.  I could su

Leaving California and the 2nd trimester

I really admire those people who have a regular blogging schedule!  Hopefully now that I have more free time, I'll be able to blog more... thought the catch of having more free time, is that I end up having less to blog about...hmmm.  Anyway, for now, I'll catch you up on the Winberg household! (moving, Tim/Kenny concert, pregnancy update) We last left off right before we were about to move all our stuff out to Vegas and I was gearing up to be homeless for a few weeks.  This is about how our apartment looked at the time...please ignore the annoying baby talk I was giving my kitties... I promise I do not do that all the time.  That's Rob. =) Then the big day came and went smoothly, apparently... I was at work, and came home to an empty apartment!  Thank goodness for friends and family who helped with everything!  I didn't even have to clean much, most everything was done!  And I will say, it was left as clean (if not cleaner) than when we first got the apartment

Seriously need to update this more!

Image
Ok, so I really should update more!  I think about it a lot, and then it never gets done.  I figure I should do it now while I still have a computer to do it on. First and foremost... by the end of this week, I will be homeless.  A sad, sad, pregnant, most likely barefoot, homeless girl.  Awww :(  Ok, maybe technically not homeless.  I guess we can let the good news out, Rob got a job in Las Vegas and this Saturday we're moving all our stuff to our new place out there!  (technically I should be packing or resting so I can get up early and resume packing)  Yay!  We get to live in a two bedroom, and I get to be a stay-at-home mommy!  I really feel so blessed!  The homeless part comes in when we are legally out of our apartment (this Saturday) and I get to stay out here until middle of July to finish up work and a bit of the busy season while I can still work!  Then I get to join my hubby in the hot hot desert and finish out the summer and start and end my third trimester in the bli
