I really wanted to get my "big announcement" post up this week but it is looking like it will have to be next week. I just can't get the thing written!!!
Here is just a run down of what we have had going on this week...
Monday
Blakely's 2 month appointment at 930 am
I went Christmas shopping until my dentist appointment at 300 (I did run home to feed her twice)
Took her to Garvan Gardens to look a the lights Monday evening
more pics from this night later...
Tuesday
My dermatologist appointment at 845 am
I did more shopping until my eye appointment at 130 (again running home to feed her)
We had Christmas with my dad, Julie (his gf), my brother, my Uncle and his two girls on Tuesday night...there is one word to describe this event...dysfunctional
Christmas dress #1 :)
Wednesday
We tried to sleep in but I couldn't because I needed to clean the house. Me and five other girls were having a progressive dinner party Wednesday night and I had done nothing to prepare. The theme was Thai so I went to the store to get the stuff for my appetizer since I was the first house.
I then went to get my yearly pap done. I picked them up some cookies on my way there since I wasn't able to do that at my postpartum appointment. I also got a little gift to give the nurse who is due in February.
After that I came home and Lonnie and I both frantically got things ready for the dinner party. I have to be honest here and say that he did all of the cooking and made the cocktail. I just cleaned and took care of B.
They all got here at 6 and we stayed at my house for about 45 minutes. We had a limo to take us to all the other houses...It was awesome but I didn't get home until midnight. My boobs hurt and the baby was very unhappy since she hadn't had the boob all night.
yes, we wore tacky sweaters!
our pimpin' limo :) We said we should call ourselves the Real Housewives of Hot Springs!
Today I have been trying to relax. When I got up this morning I did all of the dishes...there was a TON of them from our frantic cooking and cocktail making. I feel like I have a million things to do and more shopping to get done but I don't want to do any of it. I just want to hang out with my sweet girl and my husband while he is off work. I have been stressing about Christmas presents because I haven't really had time to get stuff for people. Right now I am just saying screw it...surely they will understand??? I do have a newborn baby...
Right now my husband is at a meeting and my mother in law is at the grocery store doing my shopping for me. I should be wrapping presents but instead I am blogging...quick style. I think I might close my eyes....I am so tired. We have another Christmas party tonight but I think I am going to skip it. I am exhausted and I just want to go to bed. I am sure everyone else is having a super busy week as well. :)
Wow you were not kidding that you had a crazy week! Enjoy your first Christmas as a family of 3! I am dying for your big announcement!!! Ahhhhhh!!!
ReplyDeleteUm I need an email with this big announcement....spill it now. I want to have a party like that, it sounds so fun! And as always, B is the cutest thing in her little outfits!
ReplyDeleteThat party sounds like it was a blast, but a lot of work too. Definitely take some time to just sit and relax - the holidays are no fun if they are full of stress (easy to say, right?). Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI love the progressive dinner party!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great Christmas!
