Ok so this weekend is Mother's Day. I am excited about Mother's Day but worry I'll be disappointed. The hubs is not big on sappy things and I really am hoping he will make it special for me but honestly I am not holding my breath. We both need to make an appearance at our own Mother's house, have a strict nap schedule we are trying to train Miss gracie on, and several weekend chores need completed. Not to mention the hubs has worked about 60 hours this week and he tends to procrastinate so my gift may be picked up in the aisles of Walmart at 4AM this morning. It's possible. Not too special huh?
Ok so sleep time has been interesting this week. Miss Gracie is doing so good at night. She goes to bed anywhere between 7 and 9 and is waking only once to eat and returning to bed for 2 to 3 more hours. I think the earliest I've had to get up is 7 and the latest has been 10 but on average she wakes up about 8. Naps on the other hand have been a NIGHTMAREEEEEEEEEEE. I can't get her to sleep more than 30 minutes most times. I'd say her average nap is 20 minutes. She is then one unhappy baby. This is insane. I look for her tired signs and put her to bed in her crib now but she continuously rolls over and gets herself ticked off because she can't return back to her back. I feel like her entire day is dedicated to watching for sleep signs and trying to get her to nap. I think we've hardly played. This week has sucked. I love playing with her and hate it when she is grumpy but I guess we're bound to have those days. I have purposely stayed at home this week, even ignoring the grocery trip I desperately need to make, to work on her sleep routines. I don't know how we're going to fit in everything Sunday. I think by the time the day ends we're going to have one unhappy Miss Gracie on our hands. Hubs and I do plan on going out to dinner but I'm scared she's going to be going into melt down mode by then.
As for Rocky well I think Mama is dead on the road and for sure there is one more baby. My trap is baited and up there but he isn't biting. I saw him walk on the light shield and I am terrified he's coming through like the other. Hubs and i have discussed hiring someone to get him but I think they will only do what I am doing. I'll have to give it a tad more time. Thank goodness we have our dog or else I'd be a nervous wreck.
Gracie still has 0 teeth. I am hoping when we go to her next appointment in just a tad over a week he oks us to start on some solids soon. yesterday she ate 35 oz of formula. I worry about her going to solids because of the MPSI. I have to watch for milk and soy in everything. I pray she grows out of this. It's so expensive and it's scary to me. As for the teeth I am not looking forward to the teething. I need to make a list of questions for her pedi so that i don't forget to ask about relief and what's safe, also need info on the solids and what she can have.
As for my own appearance I so need to get my hair dyed. It hasn't been done since right before I had Grace so it's been about 5 months. I also need a cut and my eyebrows waxed. We really can't afford it but where I go has 20% off this month and hubs says to go do it. IDk if I will. I feel selfish. I will def do the cut and brows but unsure on the coloring. Since my regular girl got fired idk if I trust anyone. I was hoping to do all this before mother's day but idk how I'll have time to get it done. I can't take Gracie. The brows are very bad lol. Normally i wouldn't care but since I'm seeing family this weekend I'd like to not look so frumpy. I have put on 10 pounds since I stopped breastfeeding. I really need to get started on Weight Watchers again. We'll see I guess. We're about out of food here so it would be a great time to start I guess.
Well I suppose I better wrap this up since LO is sleeping and I am exhausted and should be too. I hope all you moms out there have a wonderful Mom's Day!
