So April Fools is one of my favorite holidays. Not quite sure why its a holiday but i love it. Practical jokes all day long and you get off the hook when you say April Fools. I decided not to test my luck this year and opted out of not doing any practical jokes. I was going to do the whole pregnant one with Brian, but too soon! :) But instead of a doing a great practical joke... i heard THE best words/syllables come out of Leila's mouth. pause for effect. MA-MA! Thats right no joke... she said it. And is saying it. And keeps saying it. Its awesome. Who would have known she would learn from her coaching so quickly... lol!
Another shocking... or should i say shot-ing... event that happened this past monday was a trip to the Doctor's office. I called in because i felt a lump on her chest. Just on one side and not the other. So i went in to get everything checked out. When you nurse your baby, they get your hormones through the milk and can cause enlarged breast tissue in the baby. They tell you that when they are first born, but i didnt know or should i say forgot, and that is what the "lump" was. Phew. I was relieved... but not for long. The nurse came in and said since we were supposed to come in and get vaccines on thursday we can go ahead and take care of them today. WHAT! First of all I had forgot about thursdays appointment and i wasnt emotionally prepared for shots on monday! I did think on the plus side she will sleep the rest of the afternoon and i had ALOT of house chores to do. Leila got two shots, one in each leg. The nurse put the band-aid on the wrong spot. We got home and she went to sleep.... for 20 minutes! and this was her normal nap time. 20 minutes. That wasnt even long enough for me to put a list of things i had to do together. (I work better when i have a list). Then she was up... wait for it... for the rest of the day. Say bye bye to the half completed to do list and hello to my fussy, teething, not in a good mood baby. :( One way to cheer her up was with food. I made some whole wheat spaghetti and let her play with it. It was a blast for both of us!
Tuesday was another storm filled day so we stayed inside. Missed Mothers group and the market but had a lot of cuddle and story time, which i loved! She seems to want to go from barely crawling to full fledged walking. She pulls herself up on the couch every chance she gets. The getting down part is still a little questionable. I either hear her attempt, which ends in crying mostly out of shock, or a whimper for me to come get her. I love watching her grow and move, but i wont lie its a little exhausting. She is CONSTANTLY on the move!
Wednesday was productive. Finally got to that house list, gym(x2), and cleaned out the car! a woo hoo! We did have a minor melt down, which i dont blame her. Her teeth are right under the surface, says the doc, and she may be experiencing some discomfort from the shots. No symptoms, just fussy. But tomorrow is another day! I am hoping, actually praying, for a good nights rest and a great weather and baby tomorrow!
*p.s. Go UND Hockey! I hope they make it to the frozen four. (this is for you brian)*
oh wait whats that i hear in the baby monitor... someone is awake! Gotta go!
