Listy Friday

Posted in Babies, Daphne, Isla, Lists, Listy Friday, Random by

It’s Friday. You get a random list. Surprised? Didn’t think so!
– Wednesday night Isla slept for 4 hours straight, which means I too, slept for 4 hours straight. Except I woke up before her (as in not to her fussing as usual) and panicked because she wasn’t squalking as usual. My first thought? “OMG MY BABY’S DEAD.” Of course, I check her and she wasn’t, and then she woke up to be fed. Ah well. Those four hours of sleep I got were amazing.
– Also, how is my kiddlet already 4 weeks old??? Ridiculous.
– Daphne had some crazy medical issues which resulted in a crazy-expensive trip to the vet. As it turns out, she had some kind of infection. She’s on antibiotics and is doing sooo much better. For the first couple days, she looked like a zombie-satellite dog.

– We have been having the strangest weather lately. It will be sunny one moment, and then we’ll have torrential downpours the next. It’s annoying, especially if I have plans to walk anywhere.
– I’m impatiently still waiting for my E.I. to kick in. My ROE was filed late, which is less than ideal, and now it’s taking forever for my claim to be processed. Balls.
– Next week I am determined to hit up the Saturday Farmer’s Market. I have a hankering for fresh produce and BANNOCK.
– My mom’s house doesn’t have air conditioning. I have no idea how she survives in the summer. I have a hard time at my own house sometimes and I have air conditioning.
– My blog has really been neglected lately. I just don’t have time to blog! I don’t know how other moms managed to keep blogging regularily with a newborn. When I have a spare moment all I want to do is sleep. Maybe I’m just not a dedicated enough blogger. Meh.

Happy Friday!
What are your weekend plans??

Listy Friday

How about a post not completely about babies? Okay!

– I painted my toenails all by myself Wednesday night. This is a big deal! I haven’t been able to reach them (comfortably) for sooo long, it felt amazing to be able to do it. It’s the little things, people, that amke you feel awesome.

– I’m more than certain that Daphne is having an allergic reaction to something. Her lips are snout are all swollen. This isn’t the first time this has happened, so I’m not overly concerned. It just sucks seeing her so uncomfortable.

– Isla and I had a visit from a public health nurse yesterday morning to check on her weight and to make sure I’m settling into “Mommyhood” okay, and Isla already weighs 9lbs, 1oz! What a little porker! It’s ridiculous how fast time flies by.

– It has been ridiculously hot for the past week. Like, grossly hot (35C +). I’ve been hiding in the house with the AC on for the most part, only venturing outside to either yell at the dogs in the yard or to get the mail (while Kyle watches Isla). That’s it. I hate the heat.

– I have become a pretty boring person since having a baby. Unless you like hearing about milk production, spit up, and poop. Then I guess I’m pretty awesome.

– I just realized that today is Friday the 13th. Ooooo – Spooky! Actually, I have no opinion on the superstition and find it to be silly.

– I’m almost finished my first book on my Kobo! I bought The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel on a whim and I must say, I rather enjoyed it. I don’t think I’ll watch the movie, but the book was good enough. I just can’t get into movies with all British-accented actors. It’s like accent overload. Does that make me a horrible person? Probably.

– I managed to keep baby talk to only 3 bullets, not including this one. Not too shabby …

I guess that’s enough for today.
Please tell me something exciting that’s happening in your life!

– I am still pregnant, despite several different efforts to getting this child out of me early. Driving down bumpy roads, spicy food, walking, and yes, even the deed that got me into this predicament. I have a doctor’s appointment this afternoon and I’m hoping he’ll have some good news, or at least a solution, for me.

– That being said, I’m done with people telling me to “enjoy” my time off before the baby comes. It’s hard to enjoy life right now when I’m a crampy, swollen mess. My feet and ankles hurt so much because they’re so swollen. Kyle went to the chiropractor on Monday and I’m so jealous because I could really use a re-aligning. My EVERYTHING is out, I swear. One of the first things I’m going to do if make myself an appointment as soon as I feel ready.

– I have eaten way too much pie over the past few days. There’s one piece left and I’m not touching it, I swear.

– I am loving my Kobo eReader! I’m still having  hard time finding books to read (mostly because I’m a picky reader), but it’s SOO nice reading on it!

– I need new dinner ideas. Our meals are getting repetitive and I’d really like to change things up a little. Oh, and they have to be easy! I’m now looking into more crock pot-type meals.

– I’m pretty boring these days. *sigh*

Please tell me something interesting that’s going on in your life so I can live vicariously through you.
