Whew, it's been a long day in the wonderful world of stay at home mommy. I believe my happy, cheerful baby is going through her delayed 3 month growth spurt and is now a cranky, overly tired baby. But, hey, it'll pass too! This is the first time I have turned on my personal computer in over 2 months. It feels great to be able to sit in bed and get a blog done! I definetly needed this time.
So, what's going on with me, you ask?
Macy and I are set in to a daily routine, which most definetly involves a quick Target trip everyday. Sometimes, it's just nice to get out of the house for awhile. Some days we go to Whole Foods instead, it's my 2nd favorite store...I recently discovered Macy has a dairy allergy, so the only treat I get nowadays is the vegan cookie Whole Foods makes called "double double chocolate trouble." Yum-o. It definetly is trouble when I get my hands on that...it's worth the $1.39 splurge.
We just recently had a late night emergency room visit when I discovered a nasty infection growing under Macy's neck rolls. Being a first time mom, and an impatient one at that, i decided it needed to be looked at immiedietly. All is ok, we got a cream and it is looking better by the day!
In other news, we are looking for houses and are in the process of getting a mortgage. We have ultimetly decided to move out of the city limits and into a home with room to grow. I absolutely hate this process...i am so darn impatient and can't stand the thought of having to wait to move in to a dream. It's like someone else is in full control of your dreams and the next chapter in your life, and you have none. All you can do is wait to turn the page...on someone else's terms. We're getting there!
While i love being a stay at home mom (for the time being), I need some time away as well. These "time aways" mostly include 45 minute trips to the gym. However, they usually end up with me rushing home to a crying baby and a frusterated daddy. I am a little scared that seperation anxiety has kicked in...already....and it's only getting worse. She is perfectly fine until I leave the house, and then she goes down hill. I can't worry about this now, she is still a newborn in my mind and is still adjusting to her new world. Mommy is all she wants and needs at this time, and i just have to accept it and live with it. When she is old enough to understand mommy comes back, i hope this tantrums will cease to exist...and if they dont, then I will address the issue.
So, what's next?
We start solid foods in just a few weeks...well, we are going to experiment anyway. See how she likes them! I decided to make my own...so, if you don't see or hear from me in a few days...the blender may have gotten the best of me. I will be spending a lot of time in the kitchen, that's for sure...and using tools I haven't used before (i dont cook, ok?).
House hunting will continue, let's pray we get our mortgage, find a house, move in, and unpack all in the same day! That'd be nice, huh?
I just want to end this blog by saying THANK YOU to my dear husband for falling asleep early, as well as my baby girl, so that I could have some "me-time" and update my neglected blog.
