I finally order what I had my eye on for months. 
It's the Boon Grass Counter top drying rackFirst of all: How cute is this????
Its a great space saver, it holds a lot more bottles then my old one and its way more easy to clean.
It's currently on sale at Amazon.com

Bottle drying rack
After 8 months my old bottle drying rack is falling part, well RIP. I never really liked the thing anyway. It was cheaply made, flimsy and it was a pain in the booty to clean.

The "aww" factor
Back during my pre-Jacob days, whenever I see or hear a baby/child cry in public (ie: plane, bus, store etc) I would roll my eyes and think "omg, why can't you keep your kid quite?"
I have just realized that I have replace the eye rolling with "Awwwww is she/he ok??"
Yesterday at a Target run with my Momma, we were in the baby clothes department, as I was digging in the sales section, I can hear a child crying (more like screaming murder), Instead of ignoring the cries, which is what my pre-baby self would have done, I find my self LOOKING for the child, instead of being annoyed, I found myself wondering if he/she was hurt? or lost?. He wasn't hurt, his mother was just on the other side of the department ignoring him while he cried like a monkey and half way out of his stroller towards freedom.
But that wasn't the point, the point IS.... that I have gone all ....SOFT and MUSHY. My old cynical and obnoxious self is slowly fading away.
What is happening to me?????
I blame this on Jacob! You are turning Mommy soft and mushy....... the inside AND outside!!!!!!
Top 5 Reasons why I love being a mom
1: Someone will always welcome me home with a big smile
2: It's a great feeling knowing someone needs me
3: Now I can make all kinds of funny faces and someone will actually enjoy them!
4: Learn to be selfless, putting someone's needs ahead of my own.
5: I never feel lazy these days. When I do get a break, I know its well deserved.

8 months Sleep Regression?? He is not 8 months YET!
The dreaded 8 months sleep regression has begun. Which means I can kiss my sleep goodbye (once again)
Putting him to bed at night time has been a nightmare, cries, cries, cries, I love the look he gives me as he is fighting sleep/me "COME ON LADY! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M UNHAPPY! DO SOMETHING!! I DON'T WANT TO SLEEP AND I DON'T WANT TO BE AWAKE EITHER!! DO SOMETHING!"
Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about it,I am suppose to just wait it out.
After 3 hours of google-ing here's basically what I found out
“The “8-month sleep regression” (which for some babies is closer to a 9-month sleep regression) is related to the 37-week spurt. For some reason that one just seems to cause more waking, too, than some of the other spurts do. It might also be particularly hard because many babies are smack in the middle of working on crawling or walking, and also teething"
Wonderful, we are smacked dab right in the middle of this. When he hit the 4 month growth spurt, it took about a week and a half for things to go back to normal.
*sigh* now this is supposedly be the more "awaken" spurt? ugghhh so it sounds like I will have at least one more week.
Its actually pretty amazing to watch how a baby grows into a toddler.

I am Back.....
....with a 2 month old!
I have stopped blogging in my 3rd trimester. At the time i thought I felt tired and drained, well that is NOTHING compare to now!
My little one was born on May 9th 2010. Yep, he was born on mother's day.Labor was terrible, I was in there for over 48 hours, they had to redo my epidural THREE times! I finally felt the numbness with the last one but that didn't last long, it all wore off before I had my baby. All the pain was worth it as soon as I saw my baby.
So it has been two months, it has been pretty stressful. I had to deal with a slight case of PPD , moving into a new house and a screaming baby.
All I have to say is thank god for my family and friends who has help out. Without their help I think my slight case of PPD would have went off into the deep end.
I have to thank my mom most of all. She has taught me so much in such a short amount of time. I hope one day to be as great of a mother as she is.
After 2 months, I think I am finally finding my place. Jacob still doesn't STTN but I guess that's normal since he is so young (however, it would be nice for ME to STTH)
I am so excited to be a mom and can't wait for my baby to hit his milestones. He changes everyday! He is amazing, I could sit here and watch him all day long.
24 hours old...the smile that melts my heart
