You would think that after a month of not blogging I would have something great to blog about right? Well not much is going on in our lives but I'll update you all on the past couple of months.
Just after Thanksgiving is when the morning sickness kicked in. This meant a messy house, an onery Ava, a hungry husband, and one demanding wife and mom!! I layed on the couch for nearly two months and stressed about all that was going wrong! One day I forgot to feed Ava lunch until about 3pm and then I put her to bed without dinner. Oops. I felt so horrible that I called my mom and tattled on myself. What does a grandma do??? She makes me feel so guilty by saying stuff like, "Poor thing" and tells me to go wake her up and feed her. So I woke Ava up in the middle of the night and the poor thing ate like there was no tomorrow and then she zonked!!
Well now that I am back to 100% I can clean the house, entertain Ava, make dinner, and be a more pleasant person....Ummm well it hasn't quite worked out that way. Christian was really good to clean the house when I was sick and I love him for it BUT the floors didn't get mopped and the counters didn't always get wiped. You know what I mean right? The house can be clean but you feel like it is still dirty because those little (sometimes big) things weren't done. So now I am stressed over trying to catch up on stuff but I'm not doing anything about it!! I REALLY need to get on my hands and knees and mop the floor (the mop just won't do the job) but I dread it!!
ALRIGHT...I'm done complaining! It feels good to get that off my chest. BUT things are really great for us right now. I am feeling so much better and now I can start gaining weight instead of losing it!! I can eat food!!!! I got to see the baby last week and he/she was SO CUTE moving it's arms and legs!!
Ava is getting cuter by the day! She is talking liking crazy and never ceases to amaze me by the things she says. Yesterday I put her shirt on and it got stuck on her head. She didn't like it and said in a frightened voice, "Scary, it's dark in here!" I don't know where she learned that the dark is scary but it's too early for that!!! Ava loves coloring and her favorite colors are pink and purple. We have a big box of crayons and her pictures always end up being different shades of pink and purple. When she is done coloring she says, "It's pretty, I like it". It's fun to see her have prefrences for colors.
Ava gets to sleep in a big girl bed within a month and we are excited to make that change. We want to make the change now so she doesn't associate it with the baby. I don't want her to feel like she is being moved to a new bedroom because the baby gets her room!
Ugh...I'm sorry to bore you all with my babblings (is that a word?). I wish I felt like posting pictures but I don't so this will have to do! I hope to hear from you all and I'm trying my hardest to catch up on your blogs!
