Thursday Thoughts!

I'm linking up with Jennifer over at Ramblings of a Suburban Mom for Thursday Thoughts!  It has been almost 9 months since my last Thursday Thoughts link-up... So without further delay, this Thursday I'm thinking about...

 

~ Us Colorado folks are under a winter storm warning... 5-10 inches expected with some areas possibly getting a foot or more.  I'm a native and deal with this ish every year, it doesn't really scare me, that is until I've got my newborn in the car with me.  I know how to drive, it's the other idiot drivers out there that I worry about.

 

~ Speaking of snow, the weather this year is hinky.  Polar Vortex?  In the 32 years I've been alive I swear this is the first time I've ever heard of it.  Georgia shutting down over two inches of snow and ice?  I'm assuming that is unusual weather for Georgia because that is nothing to us here in Colorado, in fact that is like a daily occurence here in the winter.  Don't get me wrong, my heart went out to all those stranded folks on the highway and all those kids that got stuck at school.

 

~ I am so excited for the Super Bowl on Sunday.  Not only are the Broncos and Peyton Manning playing, but it will be Delaney's first Super Bowl and the best part is she will be spending it with her Grandma and Grandpa!  Grandpa is a HUGE Broncos fan and is looking forward to making Delaney a Broncos fan too.

 

~ So I made the mistake of bragging that Delaney was sleeping through the night, I really should have known better, Delaney woke up at 2:30 this morning and then I had a heck of time getting back to sleep.  I finally just gave up and cuddled with her.  But I must have fallen back asleep because my alarm rudely woke me up.  Then I really struggled to wake up and get ready... I'm currently drinking a REALLY BIG Diet Coke to wake me up.

 

~ I've got a TON of clothes for Delaney and everytime I see more cute clothes I get them.  Plus Tim refuses to sell or give any away until we know if we are having another girl or not.  I don't blame him but if I can make some extra money in the process, why not?

 

~ I'm looking forward to the weekend, uninterupted quality time with my husband and daughter!  This is what life is all about for me and I couldn't be any happier.

 

That's it from here this lovely Thursday!  What are you thinking about today?

So What Wednesday!

It’s So What Wednesday over at Life After I Dew and I’m linking up after a 6 month hiatus! This week I am saying SO WHAT if….

 

~ I miss Delaney being a teeny tiny new born.... And here is why....

 

~ I regret being a psycho hosebeast when she was first born.  In all fariness I was suffering from a mild form of Post-partum depression and anxiety and unfortunaltey it affected/effected (?) my ability to properly care for her.

 

~ I don't regret enjoying watching her grow into a big girl!  Everyday that she comes home from daycare shes learned something new and it's not always obvious.

 

~ Last night Delaney was just pleased as punch that she learned how to make some cooing/gurguling noise and I encouraged it by cooing/gurguling back.  It was the cutest thing ever and besides, the smiles I would get from her while doing it, BEST. THING. EVER!

 

~ I turned into the mom I promised myself I never would be.  I was adamant that Delaney would never sleep with me in bed.  Well that lasted about um, maybe a month.  Delaney now sleeps with me in bed and it's the most wonderful thing.  She sleeps on her side and I sleep on my side and our faces touch.  I love feeling her hot breath on my face at night, BEST. FEELING. EVER!

 

~ The daycare and I are working together on trying to crib train Delaney, not the best thing ever.  The second she starts to feel herself being lowered down, she starts to scream.  Don't get me wrong, I love sleeping with my baby girl, but I miss my husband something fierce.  My hubby and I haven't slept in bed together in almost a year.  I had a very painful pregnancy that just didn't allow for us to occupy the same bed at the same time.

 

~ I enjoy the fact that I've turned into one of those braggy moms, "OMG, guess what Delaney did last night?!"  or even better, "No joke, but my kid is 9 weeks today and has been sleeping through the night since she was 8 weeks old!"  Don't hate, that last statement is true!

 

~ My parents take Delaney every Friday night for an overnight with Grandma and Grandpa!  Delaney gets spoiled and Tim and I get one night to live like we don't have a kid....

 

~ But trust me, my body knows I have a kid and shuts down after a certain time... 9:00pm is my new midnight!  And 5:00am is my new 9:00am!

 

~ I'm going to close this post down with the most adorable picture of my baby girl!

So... that is it for me on this darling Wednesday, what are you saying so what to?
