The funniest girl

Annika has grown so much! She is 6 1/2 months now and it seems like she has especially rocketed since I have been home. She is and has been sitting up on her own since bout 5 months. In the last month her balance has really been spectacular! Just about the time I shoot my arms out to catch her, she recovers on her own and was able to reach the toy she was going for that, to me, seemed out of her reach.

She is pulling herself up from laying to sitting, and is quite quickly working on pulling herself from sitting to standing. She's not quite crawling yet. But getting there fast! She has this caterpillar like movement that she does all over the family room floor.

It's amazing! This cuddly little lump of flesh has grown so much, so fast! Now she's a little person that rolls around the room, expresses her personality and absorbs so much!

Is it possible that other parents love and enjoy their children as much as I do? It doesn't seem possible.

New Week, New List

Last night I started my new list for the week. I really like doing it this way! It helps me feel like I'm not just sitting around the house in my jammies not getting much done.

As the week goes on, I am always surprised at how much I actually added to the list! There are a few "roll over" tasks from last week, but man! I have to pace myself! LOL yeah right.

Now, Have I gotten anything done from my list today? uh, no. But I did go to Barnes and Noble and had lunch with a friend. So it is certainly not a wasted day. :)

Back to pre pregnancy weight!

That's right! those last pesky 5 lbs that stuck around for the last 2 months are finally gone!

Now I can set my sights on my goal weight! Another 15-20 lbs and I'll be there! It's really hard to lose weight while breastfeeding and entertaining an infant! Normally I would just diet and exercise, but babies and Matts kind of get in the way of that! LOL But I am super excited about Zumba and hopefully that will encourage me to work out despite being so busy.

Not much else on the blogging front for now. I'll consider that a good thing!

Now Ive set my sights on grocery shopping and heading to the bank!

Friday!

Today was a good day! One of my dad's coworkers has a daughter who is about to have a baby girl, and of course (my dad is just the cutest!) my dad brags about how mom and I are such bargain shoppers and we have such an overflow of stuff for Miss Annika. So she came over this morning and bought up all the stuff I had packed up and ready to take to Children's Attic!

Woo Hoo! I couldn't believe how much stuff we had that was brand new with tags still or not even out of the package!

So I'm thankful for our overflow. I'm thankful for having the overflow out of the house. And I'm thankful for an essentially uneventful Friday!

Excitement at Target

Well not so much "good" excitement.

In the midst of me checking of many of my "To-Do's" while we were shopping yesterday, Matt got a little dizzy and said his eyes felt weird. So he sits down and I take a look. One of his pupils is huge! The other was normal. I called the doctor.

The nurse says doctor wants a ABG (blood/gas) and the only place we can have that done is through the ER. labs don't do it, only RT (respiratory therapists) do it.

So after preparing to spend a few hours in the ER, we head over.

Long story short...no answers. But they don't think its anything to worry about. No head injury, so no biggee.

So today is going to be spent checking off the rest of my list. Hopefully....
