Sick Saturdays

by Kristi on March 25, 2007



Well, I feel lots better than Thursday night. It was strange how quickly that cold attacked me. Usually you know it’s coming and it takes the better part of a day. This was here in an hour, and I felt that the worst of it was over by the first 24 hours. I still feel sniffily and stuffy today though. And weak. My nose tonight is more stuffed up than it has been for the past day which is annoying.

J is sick now too. Sammie seems to have escaped, knock on wood. It was nice though we simply traded off today. I got up, he slept in. He went and got his hair ‘done’ at 9, I went at 10 while he chilled with Sammie. Sammie went down for a nap at 11, so did he. I came back at 12 and got Sammie up and chilled with her. He took her around 230 while I took my nap until 430. hehe – Naps are great things. Everyone should have a nap. I think I felt worse after my nap though but still, it was wonderful.

Have I mentioned that I stopped nursing? I don’t think I did mention it. But I did stop. *sniff* We had our last nursing time the morning of her 15 month birthday. She hasn’t missed it though. She still points to my chest when she is hungry/wants milk but we just go and make a bottle. She still likes her bottles fed to her and refuses to hold it. hehe – She likes them warm and toasty too, so I have been doing 1 less second in the microwave in the hopes of her tolerating cold milk sometime this year. We are on 42 seconds so far. Another month, I guess. I also have to wean Papa of giving her a bottle before he reads her one last bedtime story. He says it helps her go down but I used to nurse her before bathtime a few months ago and she went down fine. We will get there someday, I’m sure.

Today though, we played quite a bit outside. I ordered a cute outdoor play yard thingie. It has stairs, at tunnel, and two slides. Can’t wait for it to get here! Now I just need to convince J to order some outdoor furtniture. He has been somewhat appprehensive considering my past track record of taking care of outdoor furniture… but I continue to be seduced to the possibilities of relaxing outdoors with a glass of wine in the evening hours, or sitting and watching Sam run around the yard with kids in the neighborhood. I know, crazy dreams. The evening hours are usually reserved for my computer *ahem* and the the neighbors hate us and our barking dogs. haha 🙂 We will get there. There are some cute ones at Target and I want to check out Home Depot. Even though I hate that place.

I’ve been a bad bad girl lately. I started to do those Crest whitstripe thingies. Well, I completely suck at them. First they dribbled off my teeth when I took a shower (I guess you can’t do that??) and then I just forget to wear them all the time. I’ve only worn them three times. I wanted my teeth to be nice and white for our pictures this week but I just couldn’t do it.

I’ll leave you with some Sammie in March photos as it’s getting late. I put the cute ones in the front of the album so you don’t have to scroll through all 100. 🙂
