What a life

Well it has been a busy yet fun week!

Last week on Thursday our little nugget learned to blow raspberries. She is constantly giggling and spitting and just jabbering along. It's so cute! Last Friday we made a trip to Columbus for Matthew and Christie's wedding. It was nice to spend the night at Amy's and have a few hours of chatting time before we left Saturday for Springfield. And who can pass up a free babysitter :) YAY! I am looking forward to our few nights of date nights this month.

Sunday we booked it early to get some yardwork done for Madison's baptism this upcoming Sunday. I feel like getting anything done with a 4 month old at home takes 3x as long! I would love to figure out how to babycarry on my back so I can get some things done while still holding her. I guess I should try and hit up a babywearing group next week and see what I can learn. Monday night was a nightshift, so really got nothing done during the day Monday or Tuesday...oh well again there. Tuesday we had the new sitter come over, Rachael. We like her a lot. Let's hope it continues to work out. Tuesday was a little bittersweet. Madison nursed in the morning for the last time. And it was a good nursing session. I will miss the little one being so close and being able to provide that nourishment for her. But I realize that I need to be on my meds so I jumped in with 2 feet and started on the Copaxone Tuesday night. Thankfully the shot didn't hurt as much as I was expecting.

Wednesday it was a little bit of running around and getting things ready in the house, we did get the garage completely done Wednesday night. Madison went to bed early every night this week. Must be getting into a routinue. It was 8:30 4 nights in a row that she was down in bed and asleep. Hopefully it continues! We are so lucky.

Thursday morning was 48hrs since my last nursing session and my right breast is SOOO tender. I don't even want to think about bumping it, touching it, moving it. It is 8/10 pain and very uncomfortable. I need to put some more ice on it...ugh

Tomorrow I don't know how much I will accomplish, the tables and chairs are supposed to be coming at some point. Rachael will watch Madison for a few hours so I can nap post nightshift, then maybe I can get some yardwork done when I wake up? Ha that's laughable. Mom wants to head up to Coventry in the afternoon and I thought about going to the outlets...humm maybe not. Maybe the outlets on Monday next week since Troy wants to get the yardwork done for the baptism.

Busy busy busy...I need a few minutes to just breathe!

Father Lord,
Thank you for the sunshine that was beaming on us today. Your earth is beautiful and full of life. Thank you for the time I had with Madison today, she will grow up so fast. Help me to slowdown and enjoy the simple pleasures she brings to my life. Give me the guidance required to raise her to know you. Give Troy and I the patience we need to be parents, which can at times be the most exhausting job.
Amen.

If I don't write before Sunday, Madison will be baptized in church Sunday! We are so excited and blessed beyond belief! :)
