Champ

I know it has been awhile, but truth be told, you haven't missed much. except for this...

I have a heafty 4 month old. I was thinking she would be 15 lbs, but she exceeded my expectations as well. what a champ. but alas, this just makes me sad because the doc says with her size, she should be sleeping through the night now. Sadly, she still feeds twice before I tell the world I'm awake. And some nights, like last, she wakes up more than just twice. It makes me a mad woman, just ask Mr Smith. I need my sleep back. My dear friend, Rachel, gave me ear plugs for tonight. hollerrrrr #iwonthear. It seems that some weeks I'm fine, but then all of a sudden, I've had enough & don't care if she cries. It's tough.

Mr Smith won't let me leave the light on in the study because I typically don't have an appropriate shirt on & he thinks the blinds in this room are see through. I told him I don't care (I don't believe him for one) but he won't let me have my light. Ugh, husbands.

Lexi did well with her 4 month shots. I almost cried. I'm just glad it's only a few seconds of torture. I was upset that it took so long for the nurse to come in because she had already fallen asleep! Try waking up to shots! But of course, she's a champ. She has this petrifying cry that she started doing the last couple of evenings. Scares us half to death, but then she's fine. She's weird. Babies are weird. Parents are just clueless sometimes. Dad is having to talk to her by her crib cause she is fighting her bedtime.  Oh these wee ones.

Here is something I actually miss from my pregnancy - the past two weeks it looks like I should be going bald. I hardly lost any hair in the shower, etc... when I was pregnant, but I guess I'm making up for lost time. It's always all over me, all over Lex, all over the bathroom, bed, EVERYWHERE. It's crazy. I also have to shave again when I hardly had to my pregnancy. So there you have it, 2 points for pregnancy #ihatehair

I had an old roommate call to catch up with me. I hadn't talked to her since when we lived together our Sophomore year of college. She went on a mission & just recently got married. I got married & had a baby since then. TIME IS CRAZY. & it was surprisingly hard to find time to catch up. I don't get how it's possible, but I'm just glad we finally had the phone convo. It (along with making my previous-to-this-blog book pre-marriage) makes me nostalgic. I hate how it's so hard to catch up with people I'm no longer close to physically (which is everyone). It honestly takes a lot of energy, but I LOVE hearing about what's going on with those I seemingly left in my past. I don't like leaving them in my past. (okay some people are more than welcome to stay there & still haunt me some) but we all move on & we just try to play catch up where we can. Just makes me wish I can choose my neighbors. Who is that lucky? Sigh - I guess I can meet new people and blah blah blah

Come visit Lex & I, maybe one day we'll set up a guest room just for you. Right now, we have an air mattress. But we're working on it (kinda). Apparently food storage has trumped that.

Alright, I need to go check on Lex. She is quiet but I don't hear dad either.
