TGIF :)

Just had to brag and say that I got a Moby Wrap in black for 27 bucks at Target today! I was beyond thrilled, especially considering the fact that I nearly bought a pink one off of Spot's for the same price. Used. Haven't tried N in it since I'd need to do her in a back carry and need help with it, but M is sure going to love it. I was shocked at the great amount of material it is... honestly I could probably lay it through N's room twice. I was scared it'd be a little big, which it is, and I have to wrap it around my waist an extra time before tying, but other than that it fits like a charm and I love it.

I also got the rest of M's sleepers and onesies, as well as a few pairs of PJs for N today. Had to use up my Carter's coupon! I've only got to get a few more things.. Boppy, Mattress, & Bouncer. I might hold off on the mattress and just use the bassinet for a bit, though that will be short lived because of the giraffe-kid gene. Oy.

Laying in a hospital bed next to a lady with Swine Flu sucks.

the nurse telling you to run like hell to the midwive's office.. doesn't suck so much :)

So nothing much happened, nothing that antibiotics can't fix (though I hate them so!). Baby M is staying put. Thankfully. My glucose tolerance test however, was less than fun. Yuck.

N got a hair cut today, and then went to totspot. Not many people were there, so she pushed the cozy coupe in circles and played a little basketball. I'm very dissapointed with this class.. the instructor had said that we'd be doing "activities", parachutes, beanbags, etc... but the only thing he has done was roll in a boombox and play some Raffi. I think some of the other parents are fed up and just aren't bringing their kids in anymore. Too bad, because they were some of N's favorites.

She's a Gymnast!

I signed N up for Gymnastics this morning, as well as Tot Spot. I ended up putting her at the same park as her cousin, just so I can see how she likes it before investing more money into it. She'll have some good bonding time too, even though he's 9 months older.

I feel like I'm catching the flu. :(

Block Party Photos

Here are the photos from the block party last week.


Night before the party, my cutie patootie!

















and cause she's cute:

Revenge of the Maggots

As if today weren't bad enough, a fly did NOT need to lay eggs in my trash bag. It sat there for not even an entire day. I went to take it out and thousands of maggots just started oozing out of the top of the bag. What right did they have? Obviously their momma put them in the bag because the food was in the bag. Did they need to escape from the bag? Apparently, they did.

So, I was armed at first with Lysol, because in disinfecting my home from the germs my child & husband leave floating around (they're sick), it was all I had at reach. Didn't work. So I bust out the bug spray (odorless, thank you!), and NOTHING. The little assholes just kept crawling and climbing and wiggling... so I beat the heck out of them with the dustpan. Still wiggling. I got two dustpans and starting squee-jee-ing up the goopy mess of maggots, crumbs, bug spray, and lysol. I started hyperventilating, I had let out a few shrieks at this point so Jaime came over to help. I ran out to the laundry room and sat on a hamper to have a good cry. The lid caves in and I fall in the hamper! Think "nerd in a trash can". Yep, it was like that.

So in the end I managed to scoop together the maggots and round em all up. I then sent N upstairs and disinfected the floors with a bleach-water combo.

I'm currently in OCD mode- everything is filthy and must be disinfected. Twice.

Oh, and our garbage cans have a temporary home in the backyard until Jaime is well enough to put their conents into the big can and hose em' down. My day was nothing short of traumatic.

Block Party & Diapers

Strange title, I know. Anyways, we had a block party this past Sunday. Nayeli had a blast, and so did I- sort of. It was just WAY too hot outside! Everything was good for a "first block party", nobody had any inflatable jumping machines and no clowns were present, but other than that it was pretty fun. Hopefully next year it will be a bit more organized.

Diapers. Yes, I ordered 12 preemie prefolds from CottonBabies the other day. They sent me 13. So I'm prepping my bakers dozen of prefolds as we speak. I also bought and received some really cute (but hairy) newborn longies with a monster face on the butt :)

Namey. We're naming our daughter M ;]

Blah Blah. N is a big talker all of a sudden- just as I was beginning to worry about her speech development she starts talking my head off!

That's all :)
