Perfectly delicious!
Sorry I suck at blogging so much…most of what I can think about is baby stuff, and I don’t want this to be another boring “mommy blog” with baby pictures and stories no one really cares about!
So tell me…would you all like more baby and family pictures and updates, or would you rather wait until I get my head back into other stuff? I’ve been reading a lot and have some books, (and some make-up) to talk about , but my head just isn’t there right now, KWIM?
I love this, it is so funny. Princess has these nights too!!
On other news, I turned 35 today. It is odd how much less birthdays matter the older I get. I used to think my birthday was such a big deal and make such a big deal about it and expect everyone else to as well, and I never understood people that didn’t even talk about their birthdays and seemed embaressed by them. Now though, I am really just kinda “eh” about it. It is not that I mind getting older, I don’t. I just cannot get caught up in one day. I am also a lot less materialistic than I used to be. I used to love gifts and always could not wait for my birthday to get presents, even as an adult. In recent years though, I have started to feel differently. Not that I don’t still enjoy and appreciate a thoughtful present (and nice things in general!)…but I also get most of what I want for myself, and like it that way. The man is very unmaterialistic, and used to make me feel defensive about actually caring what people gave me as gifts (and yes, even sometimes being disappointed in gifts-usually from him!) and bad about myself since I could never ever get him the perfect gift-nothing is perfect for someone who is truly content with what they have, after all! As time passed though, I have realized I like his attitude a lot more. It really is the thought that counts…not the things you get or the places you go or the money that is spent on you. I don’t need a birthday to get a nice something or have a nice dinner out, and I don’t need someone else to give me these things. I enjoy and appreciate them of course, but they are not exciting and don’t make my birthday exciting! But time with loved ones…discussion and laughter and love…that is a gift that I cannot give myself! The girl was so sweet today! She couldn’t wait to wish me a happy bithday, and made me about 7 cards, including one signed by all her friends at school, and one that she forced encouraged her friend make for me. Her teachers told me it was all she talked about all day. Seeing her joy in my special day, that was the perfect gift!
Anyways, it was a normal but good day for the most part…I worked then went to the chiropractor. Then however, I had the worst migraine I have ever had in my life (so bad I threw up, yuck!) and almost missed dinner out with the man and the girl! We did not get out until almost 7pm by the time the headache had passed enough for me to consider it. We did end up going to a new place, Stonefire Grill. It was very busy, and very slow…but the food was good.
Because I ate so late, I wont be able to go to bed for hours though!!!
Oh, I think the man and I FINALLY agreed on a girl name…but I am going to go against my nature and keep it to myself! As for a boy name, still working on that. To give you a sense of where I am at, I will share that I LOVE Oliver, since the man will never agree to it anyways! I will also share that Lola is my current favorite girl name, since the man wont consider that one either!
Yes, I am addicted to blood pressure machines. My blood pressure was high at the end of my pregnancy with the girl, and now I cannot walk past a machine without checking. So far, it is fine. Higher than it was in early pregnancy (which is normal) but still well within the normal range.
Ice, freezies and apples are also getting a lot of consumption these days. I guess I have a desire to crunch on cool juicy things.
