Why am I up at 5:30 A.M.?
Lily and Josh are asleep, I do not have to leave for work for another 2 hours and 45 minutes, and there is nothing I can really do around the house because I don't want to risk waking Lily. I have absolutely no reason to be up at this time.
A lot of you might be saying to yourself... Big deal, I get up at that time or even earlier... that is wonderful, but I do not lol. I remember a time, a very lazy time in my life, that I had a hard time getting up to be at work at 9 A.M. True that was pre-baby and husband, but still... I was the teenager who slept until 11:00 on the weekends and during the summer. I guess when you don't have much "you" time throughout your day you have to get up early to get it. I have around an hour and a half before my day has to officially start. So for now I can just lounge back and catch up on all the blogs I like to read.
That's another thing. I'm not sure what I ever did with my time before Pinterest and Blogs. I couldn't wait to get up and read what all of these wonderful women have to say. I just wish some of their motivation would rub off on me!
In Lily land it has been a hard few weeks. She is trying to pop out her first 2 teeth and sadly for her I think they are the ones on the side that I hear can be most painful. She is constantly gumming on her hands and toys, running low grade fevers, and if I'm being honest.. just being downright cranky as well as not sleeping well. My old sweet baby a few weeks ago would wake up and give me a huge grin. I can tell she is still excited to see me, but I will just get a little smile before the crying starts. I hate when I tell people this and they say "well I'm sure its painful for her" in a tone that suggests that they think I am not being sympathetic with her. Trust me, that is the problem.... It bothers me so much because I know she is in pain and their is nothing I can do about it, but to give her teething toys and Tylenol. I do realize that this stage will pass, but I am just so ready to have my sweet, happy baby back!
As much as I love the Holidays I am was ready for January, and for things to slow down. I get really excited 2 times a year. October (my favorite month) because the holidays are starting, the cool weather sets in, and Halloween is my favorite holiday. I also love February. No big holidays for 5 months, and spring is just around the corner. Of course our biggest day this year will be Lily's first birthday which is in April.
Not much has happened the past few weeks. We went to Hot Springs to visit Josh's family. We had a good time and it is always fun to go see them. Not to mention a great get away from our normal every day life.
My biggest and most exciting event though was finding out that some really good friends of ours are having their first baby! We get together often with Wes and Ashton, and we always have a good time. They are those great kind of friends that although they never had a baby they had no problem just coming over here on the weekends that Josh and Wes didn't work to hang out, play cards, and chat. Josh and I have never been much on the going out and partying or clubing, and now that Lily is here we just can't bring ourselves to leave her with someone on the weekend to go do that. Now here pretty soon they will have a precious little one... so not only does that mean sweet, cuddly baby time for me, but Lily will have a little friend haha. She will be 18 months old before their little bundle of Joy arrives so I am anxious to see how she will act around Him/Her. It might give us a small glimpse into the future and how things will be with baby number 2 in the hosue! So I would like to give a big CONGRATS to the Marsh's! You guys will be wonderful parents, and I can't wait to hopefully get to watch our kids grow up together!
The excited parents-to-be at our house after sharing the wonderful news!!!
