Day 2

Day 2 of recovery. It's not so bad today, at least I finally have some feeling back in my mouth. Holy Numb batman. But that's ok. I have pills. I'm home resting (mostly) And I feel confident I can make it thru all of this now. I think I will not be going to work tomorrow. They say day 3 is the worst. Plus a day without the baby at home sounds glorious. I will be able to really catch up on some stuff I can't otherwise do with her here. And since Adam said he would take her over before work I can't complain right? So I'm looking forward to it.

On a side note: This picture is of course our Lily, but that is so what she looks like as a boy. Just call her our little man for today! She got that train from my Mother-in-law for Christmas, she loves it of course, it plays music and moves and she couldn't be happier with it.

Who needed them anyway?

My wisdom teeth that is. They are gone. Out at 11:30 this morning. And I'm still numb several hours later. But otherwise ok. I mean I was knocked out so I didn't feel that part. The first few hours kinda sucked, (oh the blood) and they tell you to eat and take the pills. But my tongue was so swollen I could barely move it. Of course I bet it wasn't swollen but NUMB. Which makes it hard to swallow properly. But some ice cream later and I feel much better.

Tomorrow should be interesting...Being home alone with the Monster. But drugs are good and we can hang out and watch tv all day and hopefully Adam can come home early and help take care of her. Still undecided about work on Monday but we'll play it by ear. But if I do stay home on Monday I am still taking her to my Mother in Law's house for the day so i can rest and get some stuff done around here if nothing else.

We Are Trendsetters...

Or so I like to tell myself.

Our Birthing Center just released the most popular girl names for 2008.

Keep in mind Lily's actual name is: Lillian Grace.

Here they are:

The 10 most popular girl names were:
1. Emma
2. Ava
3. Isabella
4. Abigail
5. Olivia
6. Madison
7. Chloe
8. Ella
9. Grace
10.Lillian

Who would have thought? I know NO other Lily's or Lillian's. Or any Grace's for that matter. Oh well, I guess she'll have plenty of friends with the same name as her.

Monster or Devil Child?

You be the judge.

All went well last night, besides the Monster being a little over-tired the night started off good. It came to be bedtime, and I changed her and fed her and put her to bed, she went to sleep and to bed without a fight. So did I, I was asleep by 8:30 all excited thinking this was going to be a great night! Until 11:30 when she woke up screaming bloody murder. So Adam goes in and gives her the pacifier after letting her cry for 20 minutes or so. Which of course, in turn, makes her cry harder. *side note* I remember when that used to work, it was like magic and we were so happy to go right back to sleep. Anyway. So I go in and get her...and deal with her until about 3:00 when I finally decide to feed her, so Adam got her a bottle and we fed her. But she would go right to sleep but the second you tried to lay her down in the crib her eyes would shoot open and she would scream like you were trying to kill her. Which only made me MORE frustrated. So We Let her sleep with us and really all that means is she is the only one that gets any sleep. So I am tired, frustrated and terrified at what tonight will bring.

But then this morning I wake her up after my shower and get her dressed and as I'm getting her dressed I tell her this story about how Mommy is so much nicer when she wakes her up versus when she wakes us up. I mean How would she like it if we woke her up going WAH WAH WAH...and she smiles at me, and I can't help but fall in love with her all over again.

I told Adam that the reason babies are cute is so that we don't eat our young.

We are all hoping for a better night tonight. Wish us luck!

Picture, Pictures and More Pictures!

Have you ever seen anything so cute. Though I do have to admit I might be a sucker for the daddy-daughter photos. She was just so cute and snuggled in here. Who could resist that?

This is my nephew and his goofy fake smile. But I still think they are adorable and Lily REALLY liked him.

This is my grandma with her. We went up New years day to visit and Lily handled this visit a little better this go round! I was happy.

MMMMM Green veggies. I'm really not even sure HOW she gets it on her forehead though. Silly girl.

Lack of Inspiration?

All day I have been sitting here at work trying to come up with something to write about. I came up with several Ideas, all of which were negative and so I decided not to start the New Year off with my rant about Doctors and Dentist offices. I mean really? Who cares if my appointment gets changed from Friday to Saturday. Surely not you guys. So what else is there to write about?

Lily finally rolled over for Adam last night. He doesn't like it when I put her on her tummy and let her cry, but it gets her to roll over. And I am certain he was happy when he got to see her flip over for the 3rd time. So she's not a pro yet, but it takes her less and less time to do it each time she does, so I'm certain she'll be rockin' and rollin' before we know it. We really do need to get on with the baby proofing. And Oh my gosh, what are we going to do when we need to use the playpen and can't cause we have it piled full of extra diapers and baby bags and stuff. Oh so much to do with so little time to do it all.

I think I'm going to try and post again tonight, I need to get on the computer and get some photos ordered and stuff so I will *try* to get some photos put up, But we'll see. Adam went home sick and so I doubt I'll have him to watch Lily for me. Someday.

A New Year, A New Set of Priorities.

Well it's that time of year again. The time of year when we all set our new years goals that usually include some sort of weight loss or some goal to make us healthier happier people. I am always so hesitant to do this because I have a hard time sticking to that stuff. (like most people I assume.)

So here are mine:

1. Be more active in our family finances (sorry honey)
2. eat healthier (this is always a goal of mine, kinda)
3. Be more physical. I need to simply move more. (yeah, easier said than done)
4. Try and work on my patience.

So there they are. Laid out on the Internet for all to see (or my 3 readers anyway)

In Other News. Braces have been put on hold. Not a big deal, I wasn't really looking forward to it anyway. Maybe the end of this year, it will happen in the future, but the timing just isn't right, right now.

We Desperately need a new vehicle. So that is the plan for tonight, see what we can find.

I'm also hoping that now that Lily is back with my In-Laws that her schedule will slowly go back to where she was, this whole waking up all the time thing and the neediness is for the birds. I love her but man was I ready to come back to work after my 12 day "vacation".
