hair cut?!

So ive been thinking alot recently about cutting my hair super short, Its at my shoulders right now...Im just trying to look at lots of pictures and styles to see if thats what i want to do or not...
Something like this...


Really i wanted a Frankie Sandford (UK girl group singer) type hair cut, but hers is a bit more dramatic than the one above, so im think of getting the top one, like Victoria Beckham and then if i like that and am comfortable ill get the more dramatic Frankie cut, which is this one below.

Work...ugh!

So things have been pretty stressful at work. Last monday our boss in our Georgia office(we are in Kentucky) called and fired our supervisor and a co-worker. Leaving me and another co-worker. We ship out all the equipment for our company and this is right in the middle of our busy season. Our boss told my co-worker that me and him would be running this department from now on, BUT he was not making either of us a supervisor and neither of us would be getting a raise. So we are stuck here doing our jobs plus the jobs our co-workers left for what we make now. Im fortunate to have a job i know this, I just wish my company wasnt such a joke. Our company is notorious for laying people off and moving departments to other states on 1 week notices. But now that it has happened in my department it really has my blood boiling. But thats whats new in my world. Think i'll start looking for another job, maybe a part time one so i can spend more time with Bentley. That'd be nice.

Bentley Scott's Birth Story




So his story starts on November 23, 2010. I am sitting at home watching my 1 week old niece while my sister and mom went to the store, my boyfriend Scott and my brother had gone to one of Scott's friends house. Its around 5:30 im sitting on our love seat watching tv and have Makenna laying on my chest burping her, when i hear a "pop" literally, and gush. Now im thinking oh shit its time. I get up and sit Makenna in her crib, and go to the toilet, my pants and underwear are soaked, and its still leaking. I call my mom first and tell her, then i called Scott and said you need to come home my water just broke. They were all home within 10-15 minutes. Scott and I went to the hospital. I was put in a room right away and checked my water had definitely broken but i was only 2cm, and about 60% effaced. After about an hour or so I started having mild contractions, not bad at all. After they had called my dr and told her my progress she was on her way and informed the nurses to start me on pitocin to make my contractions more regular and effective. Pitocin is hell, and those contractions were definitely something i had not mentally prepared for. Now when in pain I apparently like to toss and turn, and breath very heavily, so thats what i did with contractions. I was finally able to get a dose of Stadol and then told to relax, try taking a hot bath in the jacuzzi tub and try to progress before the doctor got there. Well easier said then done. My doctor checked me i was 4cm almost completely effaced. I asked for an epidural, my doctor told me once my contractions were stronger and more regular id get it. I was in soo much pain, and when i wasnt contracting i was completely out of it thanks to the Stadol. So looking for any kind of relief i begged for an epi or another dose of Stadol. I got one more dose of Stadol, then was checked again, i was 6cm completely effaced, i finally was aloud to get my epi! I was in heaven then, still looped up from Stadol though. About an hour, or an hour and a half after i got the epi i was ready to push. I pushed something like 4 times and then his head was coming out and my dr told me she was going to have to cut me, so she did and out he came.

At 2:21am on November 24, 2010 at 7lbs, 2oz. and 20.5inches Bentley Scott was born. At that moment he became my world.

mommy thinks...

So im sitting here in the living room, watching Bentley play in the walker, and he's just so cute chewing on his little teething rings...He's 3 and a half months, are they even supposed to teethe this early?! Idk... FTM syndrome has me on this one lol. Its times like these when im sitting here watching Bentley play and i sit here bored just watching, i wish i had more mommy friends, more friends with kids my son's age. You'd think since his cousin, my niece was born 9 days before him he would have her, but my sister and her daughter usually stay at her boyfriends and they only visit for a short amount of time...Plus Makenna and Bentley dont interact yet anyway lol. Oh and Bentley has been coughing alot and sounds like hes wheezing, the dr thinks he is allergic to smoke. So far everyone has been good about not smoking around him at all but he still does it...the dr said his lungs sound good, but he wheezes like he has asthma. I feel so bad for him. But at least hes happy and otherwise healthy. We go for his 4 month check up in 2 weeks, im eager to talk to our doctor about how Bentley's progressing. Not so eager for those shots again, it broke my heart last time. I think im going to put Bentleys Birth Story on here...may do that tonight lol...Bye for now.

Introduction

Ok so let's see introduction. My name is Candice, im 22, soon to be 23. I am blessed to have a wonderful, healthy son named Bentley who made my life whole when he entered it on November 24, 2010 at 2:22am. My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year. We've definitely had our ups and downs, but at the end of the day i love him and he loves me, and one thing is clear we both love our son more than anything in this world. Scott is a great father to Bentley, no doubt about that. Lets see, I work full time as an asset tech at a medical record company, pretty much i make phone calls and check scanners. Ive worked there 3 years. I would much rather be a stay at home mom, but you gotta do what you gotta do for your children. I was born and raised in Florida and i have lived in Kentucky for the past 8 years almost. I love it, i miss the beach and the sun, but i love the small town feel, and the southern accents, and the down to earth people. I am the oldest of 3 children, my parents were married for 21 years until my father passed away in October 2008. His death effects me in many ways, and i think about it daily, even after almost 3 years. My sister is 18 months younger than me, she had her daughter Makenna 9 days before i had my son. They will be very close cousins. I cant think of much more, Mr Bentley is hungry. Bye for now.
