Winter decided to finally show up. Now I am not complaining about the snow (I see you Shannon) or the ice even. But Blakely is SO VERY OVER IT. She asked me this morning if she got to go to school today. And when I told her no she was a wee bit pissed. Our entire town shut down today just because there was snow in the forecast and not a drop had even fallen. This is the third day this week and it was shut down 2 days last week. So we are a bit tired of being in the house and I have run out of movie ideas for my girl. Right now she is watching Toy Story for the second time this week. And it is snowing...so there is that. She is for sure going to want to go play in it and I am for sure NOT. Last week when we just had ice I let her play in the from yard while I sat right inside the front door watching her. She kept asking to go sledding and I told her I couldn't. I felt bad because she wanted to play with other kids so bad but there was no one to play with. Bless her heart. She looks super adorable though!
Sidenote....I am so buying a legit snowsuit next year. This whole searching high and low for snow/ice appropriate clothing is insane. Nothing is waterproof so it all gets wet and then she still wants to be out so I have to find more stuff while the other stuff dries. I don't care if she wears it once. Buying it!
Lonnie doesn't get to be "snowed in". Obviously he has to go to work no matter what. Yesterday he drove in on a sheet of ice but he made it. Today he will be driving home in the snow. He took my 4 wheel drive so I am not worried I would just rather him be here. AND AT LEAST HE ISN'T ON CALL OMG.
I am feeling so much better than I have been the last 2 weeks. I really didn't even know how awful I felt until I started feeling better. I think I had been working on that bladder infection for about 2 weeks. I knew I was having low pelvic pain but I just figured...twin pregnancy. Looking back I think it was bladder spasms all along. That's not to say I am just bounding around with tons of energy and no pain or anything. I still have to sit down as much as possible and by then end of the day my back hurts and my tummy is super tight. I had my 25 weeks appt yesterday and all is looking great. I go back in 2 weeks for my glucose test and a growth ultrasound. I had a few contractions last night but once I got comfortable on the couch I was fine. I didn't move the rest of the night.
Speaking of that I need to just let y'all know how great my husband is being. I mean seriously. He works all day long and then when he comes home he does everything for Blakely. Makes her dinner, gets her cleaned up, plays with/entertains her, bathes her, brushes her teeth and puts her to bed. All so I can rest. I try to sometimes help with some of those things...like have dinner ready or something...but generally he does it all. He also does every thing for me. Makes my dinner, gets me refills of water, etc. I know he is worn out and I am trying to let him know how much I appreciate everything he is doing. Kind of makes me teary thinking about it. He is the best.
Juanet didn't come to clean this week (eff this weather) so I am slowly trying to get the laundry and dishes put away today. It is slow going. It is ridic how much I depend on her!
We were supposed to move out the king bedroom set last weekend but my friend got stuck in Kentucky because of the snow. So we are going to do it this weekend. Then I will have an actual baby room and can start going through baby clothes. That sounds super fun! I just got an email that her furniture is on backorder until mid March. So she will be living without a dresser for a while but we will make it work!
Also I need to just stay off E.tsy. I mean seriously with the adorable twin baby clothes.
I think that is all the randomness from here. I am off to fold another load of laundry and eat more pasta. Or maybe more Oreos. I haven't decided. ;)
How much fun would it be for Aiden and B to get together and have a snow playdate or just a playdate?! That would be amazing, I think they would both keep each other pretty entertained! I hear you about being over the snow and ice. We just got some more and so the kids can't be outside. Yes, I'm the mean daycare lady who hates putting on and keeping track of coats, hats, mittens, boots, so we stay inside when there is snow! :-) I'm just itching for spring!
ReplyDeleteOh, whenever it snows, I do online Amazon shopping. We LOVE play dough and all the tools, and sets, and it keeps the kids busy for hours. Maybe B would like that?
Lonnie is amazing taking such great care of you and B. You just have to let go and rest in the upcoming months and do your best to not over do it. I know it's hard to let go and let others wait on you and care for you, you are such a great mom/wife and like doing those things yourself, but its only for a bit longer! :-)
You can complain all you want about the weather. You didn't sign up for this. I'm living in Buffalo. This shit is expected. Ha.
ReplyDeleteThat being said - B does look awfully adorable in winter gear, so maybe she's a cold weather little lady and there is SOME Buffalo in her blood. :) :)
I'm the same way about winter clothes - I never buy them and regret it when my kids want to go out in the snow and I say no. I need to remember to get them next year.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Lonnie knows how much you appreciate him. You definitely have a good guy there.
Glad to hear you are feeling better!
Etsy is the devil. But I love it. But it's the devil. And I agree with Shannon, but I still complain even though I know Northeast Ohio gets lots of snow.
