weeks update

TGIF! The week is finally almost over and I get to spend time with my family this weekend. I am so looking forward to that.


Just a quick update (or maybe not so quick if I do my normal rambling).
Monday the Prince concert was amazing although we did have a little frustration with getting in the door. My mom had to go all the way back to the car to put up her camera and I had to wait on her so we could get our tickets switch from the Bilo center's screw up. If I didn't wait on her we wouldn't have been able to sit together. After about and hour and a half after the opening act started we were finally getting to our seats and Prince was just coming out. I couldn't believe how professional it was, but it was Prince. I guess I shouldn't have expected it any other way.
Tuesday Lydia had her check up and every thing was good. She weighed 10 pounds 5 ounces and we discussed her colic. She suggested I make some fennel tea to give her ever few hours and to give her some baby probiotics a couple times a day to see if that helped. The fennel tea has seemed to help a little when I can actually get her to drink some. But she hates the taste so she only gets about a quarter of an ounce down instead of the recommended 1 ounce. We are still getting to bed pretty late, but last night she slept for 7 hours straight, so when we can actually get her to sleep she does okay. Our only other option is to take her to Dr. Stafford and get him to give her Zantax (not recommended for all colic but Amy feels she may have some acid reflux based on her BM's). I'm still not eating dairy and I'm trying really hard to cut out my coffee. So we will just wait and see I guess.
Wednesday my dad did come to clean our living room furniture and the girls' carpet. So I feel much better knowing that I, my family, and company aren't sitting on gross furniture. Especially Ava's couch. That dog stays so dirty.
Thursday Andrea, Josh's sister, came over for a little while so I could run to the store to pick up a few items for Josh's birthday dinner and dessert. I started making the dessert (oreo cheesecake) and I will finish it today.
Today I will try to prep for Josh's dinner and have all that stuff squared away so maybe I can go with him to the shooting range. I am still iffy about leaving Lydia so I'm still not sure if I am going to go. I may just have some time to myself since after today josh will no longer ever have to be on call. Which means he will be with me every weekend. Don't get me wrong I am happy about it, but it is nice to have some time to myself without worrying about pleasing everyone else.

Well Delores is done with her breakfast so I better get back to motherhood. Have a good Friday, and if I don't tell ya this weekend, have a fantastic weekend.
