So I know its been a while since I have written anything but here I go again. Liem is now a crawling machine. He is so hard to keep up with! He can go from one room to the other like its his business. I have had to keep a gate up because I can't keep an eye on him when he crawls that fast. He really likes our new puppy Jimmy. Sometimes he hates him I think, mostly when the puppy chews on his ankles while he is crawling. What else is new? We set a wedding date! I am so excited and anxious yet a little worried. I don't know how to plan a wedding. What if I forget something? Oh who knows! I think it will all work out. I am just very specific in what I want this wedding to be. I want my closest friends and family to be there. I want to know everyone and I want to make sure everyone loves it, but mostly us. I can't wait.
Working has been good. I am watching Austin a whole lot more now and its not bad. He is doing much better in school and he is much easier to deal with. Working at the restaurant on the other hand. I love it, and I HATE IT!! Its so funny how that works out. I mostly hate it for the negativity of it sometimes. This one girl who I have worked with numerous times seems to do NOTHING. I got so screwed because tonight I closed with her and she sat and talked the ENTIRE time. I did all of the work alone. And I seemed to keep getting critqued. Like constantly I said this wrong, or I should roll the silver this way or blah blah blah! I am just so tired of getting nothing back from anyone. I help everyone out and no one gives me credit. Sometimes I just want to run away to where people are positive. Does such a place exist?

Doctor's Office
Ok so Liem is officially 6 months old! Yay! Well because of this Liem must go to his 6 month baby appointment. So yesterday, we went. Let me tell you, I used to get mad when I had to wait at my OB appointments, but I kind of understood because he was in a big city with LOTS of patients, but yesterday took the cake. Liem's appointment was at 10:00 am. Me, being paranoid about being late all the time, I left and got there at like 9:45. So... We got there and I checked in. So we waited, and watched 5 sets of people come check in, go back, whatever. And we waited, and we waited...till 10:45! Seriously, I know that doesn't seem long but with a 6 month old, way too long. My appointment was at 10, and I showed up on time. THATS THE POINT OF AN APPOINTMENT! So ok, we went back. And of course we got asked a couple question then waited AGAIN for the Student doctor and finally she came back. She asked me a whole bunch of questions and DIDN'T tell me why or what I should be doing. Thats your job. To teach me the proper things my son should be eating, how much and what to be doing to keep him healthy! But NO, you just shot me dirty looks and gave me remark instead of telling me anything of use. I was so upset. So then, I had to wait again for the actual doctor to come and she gave me some snotty remarks about the juice I have been giving him. I haven't even given him that much juice. I water it down ALOT so yeah jerk lady! I was like come on, don't be rude, tell me what I should be doing. Anywho, then I WAITED AGAIN for a nurse to come and give Liem his shots, and she just did it all quicklike and Liem was not happy. So what time did I finally leave? 12! 12 o clock. I got there at 9:45 and left at Noon! Not to mention that Liem had run out of juice by then so he was freaking out. So I have switched pediatricians. I called this morning and got a new one and cancelled our appointments, and the lady asked when I would like to reschedule, and I said, I would not like to, she asked why and I told her I was unhappy with my appointment there and I don't want to come back. So I guess they told the doctor and she called me today to ask what went wrong and everything and I told her. That place is way too unorganized and I felt uncomfortable there. Sam pays good money for our awesome insurance, and if we get to go wherever we want that accepts it we are going to find an office that knows what they are doing and we don't get pushed aside. Ahh. Vent complete.
Moving on, I am starting my new job waitressing tonight which I have NEVER done! I am so excited because I mean I have waitressed, but not as a sole job. I had to when I was a manager. I am a little scared but also mostly excited. I have always wanted to be a waitress, especially at this nice of a restaurant. I get to socialize and meet new people. Fun stuff. Well I am off!

Liem's First Tooth and Sickness
So Liem has officially in the time between this blog and the last one had a couple of firsts. One is his first tooth is coming in! It is the front one, and the one next to it is coming in just a little behind that one. This means he has been spitting a lot! I think I am going to have to keep a bib on him 24/7 because the spit is just so abundant. He has also had and is just now getting over his first cold. Because he is so small I can't do anything about it but I did get a vaporizer, even though he could take medicine I wanted to make him comfy. I also had to lift the head of his mattress a little so his head was elevated, which ended up just making him roll down the bed...lol. He is still sitting up and having fun doing that. He is so good at sitting now, that I swear one of these times he is just going to crawl away! But I want that to take a while hopefully. I mean I want him to crawl because I can tell he wants to, but then I have more to worry about. For now he can just bounce in his jumperoo and have fun with that!
So lets see what else has happened? Halloween, play group and a birthday party! Oh and I have officially turned 21. Play Group is a new thing we are getting into. There is this family connection place and I take him every week to play with other kids. He can't do much yet, but I get to see him play with new toys and I am meeting other moms. Its refreshing and when he does crawl it will be good because he can just run around there and have plenty of kids and things to play with. Right now he doesn't have many toys, just things. Like the swing, jumperoo and playmat, other than that he has about 2 toys. But this is all ok because Christmas is coming up, which of course he doesn't realize is going to be spoil central for him! So at play group Wednesday there was a Halloween Party, which I think he was a little overwhelmed with. There were a lot of kids dressed funny and I think he just wanted to stay with me. But on Halloween he wore his Bat costume and looked adorable. He didn't go trick or treating because well, he doesn't eat candy, but we did get 4 trick or treaters! Then yesterday we went to a birthday party for a little girl we met at play group. I feel better that we are socializing. I want to meet more people and have a little network here. I think I am doing ok. I think next week I am going to go out and see if I can find a bartending job maybe. That would be fun. If anyone lets me do it! Well yeah birthday party! This little girl is so cute. Her name is Eliza and she even gave Liem kisses! We let Liem try some of the frosting and ice cream cake to see if he liked it, but he isn't supposed to have cows milk till after he is one, but we figured a tiny bit wouldn't hurt. He was surprised by the coldness of the ice cream! It was cute. I wish I would have bought my camera.
Well heres just a little pics for you all...

Birthdays...and Randomness
Being a stay at home mom is so not how I saw my life at this point.
I know that is a statement that could be construed as negative, or positive, but its really neither. Life has been a roller coaster the past 2 years, as it would be for anyone. I mean everyone has they're ups and downs and bumps in the road, but the past year has held a lot for me. I don't know if I am for sure comfortable in the situation I am in. I would really like to work. I know for now its difficult without putting him in a day care. and I am not and will not put Liem in day care. No biggy. I will figure something out.
So Sam's birthday was yesterday. It was no big deal, which is exactly what Sam wanted. I love him for that. I want my birthday to be a big deal. Last year was my 21st, and we did nothing. The restaurant opened on my birthday and I was pregnant so I couldn't drink. I don't know what the plan is really for my birthday, but I am hoping something good.
Anyways on to the important man, Liem! He is so happy and great lately. Well sometimes he gets angry, but most of the time he is happy! He loves jumping! Recently he has started eating cereal which is so funny because he gets it everywhere! He only eats cereal right now, but on Thanksgiving we are going to give him real food! I am excited. He doesn't do anything else new. Like crawling. Not yet thankfully! I need time to prepare for that!

Eating, Baseball and Some fun!
Baseball! Yay! Sam and I spent this last weekend introducing Liem to Sam's family and also going to the Red Sox game!!! It looked bleek to begin with but in the end it was snawesome! So lets start with Friday...
Friday we left to go to Boston around 9 ish, 10 ish I think. We stopped at Starbucks, got some food, and then took the ferry over to Vermont. It was looking a little dark and bleek, but we still forged on. About 4 hours later we got to Boston and right away hit traffic. Around then it was about 3. So then we spent till about 5 getting to the house. Once we got to Sam's aunt's house EVERYONE was showing up. Sam and I didn't know, but there was a get together planned around Liem. It was raining at this time and not to mention we walked into a rhetorical storm. I walked in with my son and within 30 seconds he was taken out of my hands and was being passed around from aunt, to grandma, to great-grandma...plus with the rain we thought the game was going to be cancelled. Too much for me to handle...so I wanted to leave right away. Its not like I don't trust others to hold my little man, it just I feel anxious to not hold him...So we left and decided to go to the movies, and mall, just in case the game was cancelled.
The whole way to the mall we listened to the radio waiting for news on the game. We got to the mall and went to Cheesecake Factory to eat...well it being Friday and a huge mall, it was an hour wait. So we decide to go to this bar across the way with tv's just to check and see if the game was cancelled. After looking at the tv we saw that the game had not been called off yet, and since we drove 6 hours, had someone watching the baby and I had paid so much money for the tickets we decided to RUSH to Fenway and try to go to the game, cancelled or not. We figured if it did get delayed we could just hang out in Fenway. Well we get there at 8:30... and the game was....DELAYED!!!:) Till 8:35!! So we didn't miss a second of it! PLUS no one was there so we sat in probably $2000 seats even though we had standing room because no one wanted to come to a rainy game. It was AMAZING! We sat on the first base side of home plate. We got to see Jeter, Damon, A.Rod, Varitek, etc! It was awesome! We were so happy! We even got to drink 2 beers, and 2 margaritas (beer for Sam, other for me) before they closed the alcohol stands...They stop serving 2 and half hours after the game was schedule to start, since the game started an hour and a half late,we only had an hour. Then the game got rained delayed for about an hour and at about 12, midnight we were watching the scoreboard and all the sudden we saw a sign that said KENMORE STATION LAST TRAIN LEAVES AT 12:10...we came in at Kenmore and we were still sitting there. Needless to say we RAN to the station.
So after all that fun, we took Liem to meet his other great grandma in the morning. After that, a lunch at Cheesecake Factory, which was delicious! And then a quick trip home! Only 4 hours it took to get home. We rent Dexter, the tv show and watched that...All and all a great weekend! Liem slept the whole time in the car...so for him, Awesome.

Napping
I can't believe I go like 2 weeks without writing one of these. I just get so caught up in my life, that I never have time to put Liem down and write in these. Ok so lets see, whats new? Liem is still a handful and awesome. I love him so much. The only thing I don't like about him at this point is that he keeps getting bigger and bigger! He doesn't fit in anything! I mean there are some outfits he hasn't even worn yet he can't anymore! I feel bad! I hope we have a boy the second time, or else our outfits will go without being worn. I am sure one of my sisters will have a boy...or not. Right now Liem is sleeping in an outfit that he has never worn, and he looks adorable...moving on...
So I told you guys about watching Austin. Well a lot has gone on with him lately. His dad has left for a business trip for 2 and a half weeks and him and his girlfriend were spliting, so I was going to have to watch him for that long. Like litterally he would stay here for 2 and a half weeks on my couch. Which I didn't mind, but it was just a lot at once, because I just started watching him and it was like 3 days beforehand that he asked me to do it. I said ok, of course because I really don't mind. Well last night when I was waiting for him to drop him off, he shows up with Jess, his girlfriend. So now I don't have to watch him...I mean besides the usual after school stuff. He is quite a cool kid though. He is easy to keep busy and he likes doing things that I offer. So all and all a good job, considering all I do is sit at home with him and Liem and do the same thing I would as before.
Well I want to write more, but I want to nap while Liem is so I can get some sleep in...
