Babies, babies, babies

So…it seems like a lot of the bloggers I follow are having babies!! It’s so exciting because that means in a few weeks they’ll be posting baby pictures and I’ll get to “awwww!!” all over them!! I just love babies!! Congrats to all the bloggers who are expecting!!! I can’t wait to have one of my own! I would love to have one after the wedding next May, but I promised myself that I’m going to teach for 2 years before my fiancé and I start to have kids. So that would make it 2015 if I start teaching in the fall of 2013. That’s about 3 years from now…it seems so far away!! But I can wait, I know I can. It will all be worth it in the end!

For now, I have these two cuties that are my babies…

And just like babies, they grow up so fast!!! Mia and Milo are getting so big! And what is amazing, is that he weighs a little more than she does! Mia looks a little bigger, but I guess it’s just that she has more fur that Milo. I’m so glad that they are best friends now! They like to help each other clean themselves, it’s so cute! First it was just Milo licking Mia, but then she starting licking him occasionally.

 

And look at Milo, isn’t this just so darn cute? He was sitting like that on his own, I swear that I didn’t put his paws like that!!!

It’s going to be nice when we can start giving them adult food in September because the brand of kitten food we got, Wiskas Kitten, we can only find at Kmart! And they are tiny 3 lb bags which means we have to either buy them often or buy a few of them at the same time. The last time we needed some, Kmart was all out so we had to run all the way to Petsmart. I can’t wait until we can buy a huge bag that will last us a lot longer than a few weeks!! Well, I’m off to catch up on some TV shows on my DVR. Last night my DVR was constantly working because there were a ton of shows on: Hell’s Kitchen, Cake Boss, The Bachelorette, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and Extreme Couponing!! How and why did I get hooked onto so many shows?!?! Have a great Tuesday everyone!!

I couldn’t stay away from it…

So, I didn’t watch 16 and Pregnant on Tuesday night and I said I wasn’t going to watch it. But…I couldn’t not watch it, so I’ve decided that I’m going to.

This one is about a girl named Jaime. She’s 17 year old, straight A student from North Carolina. So far Ryan, her boyfriend and the baby’s dad, is still with her, but he doesn’t seem like a keeper. He’s a partier, speed demon, and he got his license taken away because of a DUI. That definitely sounds like the type of guy I want to be with…NOT!!! Her mom is right, she’s going to have to learn how to do it on her own because I don’t think he is going to change and grow-up over night.

I agree that her dad has no right to care about his daughter being pregnant because he hasn’t been in her life. He started a new life with a new family and doesn’t talk to Jaime that much. It’s nice that they met up and got a chance to talk. They agreed to make a point of being in each others lives more. That was good to see.

Wow…she just said “My high school is very supportive of pregnant teens.” That isn’t something to be proud of. That’s almost like the school is saying that they don’t care if you get pregnant because you can just bring your baby along to school with you and drop them off at the daycare.

Ryan is MIA when Jaime goes into labor…I am not surprised one bit. Her dad is also MIA. But Ryan finally showed up 5 hours later after she went into labor and he was hung over.  I’m glad Jaime kicked him out of the hospital after Miah was born. He didn’t deserve to be there because he didn’t show up right away when she went into labor. I’m glad that her dad did come to see Jaime and the baby.

I can’t believe that Ryan wants to take Miah to his house. He is not responsible enough to take his daughter by himself. I don’t know why he doesn’t understand that. It’s not that Jamie wants to keep Ryan away from his daughter. She just doesn’t trust him enough to be alone with her, and I don’t blame her one bit.

I’d be kind of scared having my baby on a school  bus. I can’t believe they even allow baby’s on school busses. But at least she has a place to take Miah and she doesn’t have to rely on her mom to take care of her. What I don’t get is why they have to pull her out of class so she can feed Miah. Can’t she pump milk so that they have it for the whole day?

Wow, Ryan cheated on Jamie when she was pregnant? And he was probably with another girl when Jamie went into labor? I would drop all contact with him immediately. She deserves way better than him.

I liked this episode. Even though things didn’t work out between Jamie and Ryan, Jamie has a good head on her shoulders and is putting he daughter first. She doesn’t care about Ryan anymore and that is a great thing! She has her mom helping her out which is also another plus.

So what did you think of this episode? Even if you didn’t watch it, what do you think based on what I wrote? Leave me comments!!!

Idols- Where are they now?

For this post, I decided to write about Justin Guarini. He was the runner up on the very first season of Idol. I actually decided to write about Justin because I just got a tweet the other day that he just became a dad. In February 2009, he announced his engagement and then on September 26, 2010 they were married. Then on April 26, his wife, Reina Capodici, gave birth to a seven lb, 2 oz boy.

 

Since being on Idol, his debut album was out in 2003 which also came out around the same time as the movie he co-starred with Kelly Calrkson, From Justin To Kelly. The movie didn’t do that well, but I loved it! I’m probably the only one who did!

 

 

His album only sold 134,000 copies and then in December 2003, he was dropped from RCA Records. In December 2005 he released his second album Stranger Things Have Happened that he produced himself through his own production company, Justice Entertainment, Ltd.. In 2010  he was cast in his Broadway debut as Carlos in the Broadway show Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. He also played a part in the Broadway show American Idiot, which just closed on April 24 of this year. He is going to star in a production of Rent in Beach Haven, New Jersey from May 28-June 19.

 

I can’t really find anymore information on Justin so I don’t know if he is currently working on another album or anything.

 

Here is a picture of him from his first audition on American Idol.

 

Then here is one in 2007, comparing his hair to when he was on Idol.

Then this is a picture of Justin, his wife, and his wife’s daughter.

 

That’s all for this edition of “Idols-Where are they now?” Stayed tuned for the next one! And if you haven’t already, link up to my blog hop! I will be closing the linky later tonight and then picking a “Featured Blog of the Week” to be featured on next week’s blog hop. Have a great Friday everyone!!!
