Weekly Review - A Lame One

So I'm sick. Sore throat, nasty headache, sneezing, yucky sick. :(

So that's kind of put posting on my back burner the past few days. Hopefully I feel better soon and when I do I've got a couple more reviews and giveaways for everyone.

The past week was ok from what I can remember (I've got that foggy memory thing going on currently). The exciting news was Rosemary got her second tooth! Other than that it was filled with the usual running around, but add me not feeling well since Thursday to that.

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Hopefully I'll be feeling better soon and can add a real post. Sorry for the lame weekly review. :(

Oh, and we'll add my Sacrificing Saturday post into this as well. No cheating this week. Only a day or two left and then I can finally use my phone in the car again! I've already come up with a great strategy for quitting swearing. That starts on Tuesday (I think) so wish me luck on that! I'm hoping I can get my husband to quit too even though he doesn't swear nearly as much as I do. I'll post more about the quitting swearing next weekend when I'm feeling better.

I didn't post an actual review yet for last week, so here's me catching up.

I already mentioned how wonderful my weekend was. Mother's Day was great as was our Zoo trip for Make A Wish on Saturday. The rest of the week was pretty calm, which was nice. I think the only excitement was on Thursday visiting with my Grandparents who spend the winter in Arizona. They flew in on Wednesday night and we all hung out on Thursday before they drove home, which is a few hours away. They only got to meet Rosemary once or twice before they left so it was great for them to be able to spend some time with her before going home.

Weekly Review

So I just realized I never did a weekly review yesterday, so I'm going to add a quick one in just to fill you in on my great, but busy week.

Monday - we had an awesome play date for Rosemary! It was so fun and I'm hoping to go to another one soon. I met some really nice new women, and hopefully it works out I may even begin a Mommy and Baby Yoga class with them. I still have to look into it. There were several cute pictures posted on facebook, but I can only post this one as I'm not sure how the other Moms are with posting their children on the internet. Both of us had a great time!

Tuesday - we spent the day doing errands and then one of my close friends, Erin, came over. She's in an advanced Nursing program, so we hardly get to see her these days and that was a great treat. We ended the night with Tacos and a couple Margaritas!

Wednesday - we had Rosemary's baby group for a couple hours and then we lounged around the rest of the day until my husband got home and then I went out to dinner with my good friend Jen. Oh, and Rosemary tried Zucchini today! She ate it up per usual of course. :)

Thursday - Rosemary, my Mom, Sister and I went to the International Women's Show and that was nice just for visiting purposes. I personally find the show kind of pointless, but my mom likes it, so we usually go every year. It was sort of a nightmare with Rosemary as there wasn't a good place to feed her (and I SUCK at nursing in public) and it was warm and noisy which meant a bit of fussing for her at times. I don't blame her at all! Overall, it was fun, but just tiring. This picture is of us all after, we were pooped!

Friday - I can't even tell you what we did Friday! Relaxed during the day? I know me and my husband watched a movie, and then had the rest of the margarita mix at night. Not that much, just a couple more each.

Saturday - Filled with errands and cleaning. Oh, and we had a nice surprise visit from my parents and brother Kevin. My Dad was missing her since we usually head that way and didn't this week so they stopped by for a little while. This was really nice as they live 45 minutes away and don't make the trip out to me all to often. I'm not complaining here, it was just nice.

Oh, and also my extremely mean husband kicked my baby out of the bedroom! Ok, not really. He brought her pack n play out into the living room. I'm still sad about this and not sure if I'm going to keep it out there yet. He also put away her swing and bouncer. It's just so sad. :( I know she hardly ever used them anymore, but still. Can you tell I'm totally pouting about him doing this? I am. I'm just not ready for my little baby to be a big baby yet. As if keeping this stuff around was going to hold her back...

Sunday - More errands, cleaning and then relaxing at night.

A portion of the weekend for me was also spent on the computer with Julie trying to fix up the blog. I'm still so excited about how it turned out!

As you can see, a busy, but really nice week! I loved that we got out a lot. Weeks like this are awesome for a stay at home Mom! I even saw friends! TWICE. Very rare!

This was another big week, lets see if I can remember it all.

On Monday, as I posted earlier, Rosemary turned 6 months!! My big girl really is a big girl! Such a bittersweet day that was. I love her so much, I just can't believe it's already been 6 months! Sometimes I can't believe it's only been 6 months she's been in my life. Funny how that works.

Wednesday Rosemary had her 6 month doctor visit and she now weights 13lb 7oz! She's on on the smaller side, but this is the first month in a while her doctor was happy with her weight gain. All that oatmeal and veggies are paying off in the weight department. Personally, I think she's huge! She did great with her vaccines too, only crying for about 30 seconds when they poked her. So brave.

Thursday my sister came over for a bit so the three of us had a nice day just hanging out.

We had work party for my husband on Friday night and that was really nice to go to. It was with coworkers of his I don't really know, but the food was good and I had some nice conversation with adults. Jackpot for stay at home Mom's! On an exciting note, I went to a girlfriend's house at 11:00PM! That's right, late night! I seriously can't remember the last time I did something like that. I stayed over until two just chatting and it was wonderful! It's amazing how little things like going out late and getting in some quality time with a friend really make me happy.

Saturday was a HUGE day. We have a tooth!! Rosemary has been extremely fussy the past week and a half and I seriously didn't think we were going to make it! OK, that's a bit extreme, but there were a few days in there that I thought the Colic really was coming back. Well, it turns out it was for good reason! My poor baby popped a tooth yesterday! I know it was yesterday because just the day before I was wondering about teething so I was feeling around in there. I'm so happy and sad for the tooth to finally come. Happy because my baby is such a big girl now! Sad for the same exact reason. My breasts are a little worried about teeth as well.

We also tried carrots yesterday which went over well along with everything else she's tried. I'm thinking they're not her favorite as when they were gone, she didn't get hysterical. This happens with every other food, so my guess is she thinks that carrots are just OK. I'm just glad she likes them enough to gobble them up and not spit them out! One more veggie in the like pile.

Today was my sister Jessica's Birthday celebration (Happy Birthday tomorrow Jessica!) so we were over at my parents for a few hours today doing that. Rosemary did great up until it was time to sing with the lights off. Not such a hit with a baby apparently. Then it was already her bedtime so we went home around 7:30. Of course it was another long evening in the nursery as those dang teeth remain to bother my poor baby!

Overall, it was another great week with lots of excitement as far Rosemary's advancement. Even excitement for Mom this week too!

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great week!

This week was another great one here. I posted about this seperately, but last Sunday, Rosemary started sitting! She's done it several times since with the help of her arms, so she'll be a pro in no time!

We also moved on from sweet potatoes to squash in the food department. Rosemary loves this as well!

Earlier this week I had a night time scare, but I'm proud to say it hasn't totally ruined nights for us! The next night was the most difficult, but other than that I haven't been completely over anxious about her sleeping and rolling. That first night I checked frequently and I was scared every time I opened her door. I'm so grateful for the comments and support I recieved on here. It's so nerve racking, but I know she'll be ok. I just have to let her do her thing and be as careful as I can with things in her crib. Other than that, it's in God's hands.

We got new kitchen appliances! A few weeks ago our dishwasher broke and we just had to get a new one. We actually decided to get all new ones as ours were really old and when we move next year, we'd like to have new and matching one. We got them this week and boy have I missed having a dishwasher! I know, totally spoiled over here. Washing them by hands was such a pain!

Saturday was crazy busy. I had a shower an hour and some north of me at 1:00pm. I had a wedding reception at night as well. That wouldn't have been so bad except we had to drive 45 minutes to the babysitters (my parents) and then another 35 minutes to the wedding. Add the drive back to my parents and then back home and I spent like 5 hours in the car yesterday! It was a lot of fun, but I'm glad I don't have to do that much driving very often.

I think that's about it for our week. Busy and fun. :)

Just wanted to share some things that happened this week with all my favorite readers.

First, I finally saw my Rosemary roll over from back to tummy! She started about a week ago, and has been doing it more and more all week. Every time I left the room it seemed like she did it and then also a couple times in the middle of last night she did it too (waking up crying of course unsure how to get back to her back in the middle of the night.) My husband, the lucky guy, had seen her do it more than once when finally today she did it while I was actually in the room! So awesome that she's finally getting over that speed bump, aka, her arm.

Next, my big girl started her veggies! I made her sweet potatoes earlier this week and wanted to wait for my husband to be home so he could be there too. We gave them to her today and she LOVED them! I started off with one ounce and she gobbled it up so fast I gave her another ounce. :) My little piggy loves anything you put in her mouth to eat, even yucky meds. Fingers crossed this continues even when she's older. I was really impressed because of the lack of mess. I truly thought it was going to be a disaster, but it hardly missed her mouth at all! Must have been too good to spit out.



Let's see, what else... Oh, the trees have green on them here in MI! I have no idea when it started, but I noticed on Thursday that there are buds all over the trees finally! YAY for spring!

Yesterday I went to opening day for the Tiger's! It was pretty cold (40's), but oh so fun! We won too, so that made it extra nice. I love baseball! I think it has a lot to do with the fact it's only played in the spring/summer/fall. No yucky winter! I know, I know, I live in MI. Yeah, well... some things you just never get used to.

My Mom had her on week for Chemo. Yuck. It's so hard to watch her go through it and not be able to help at all. It really is poison and I wish there were anything else in the world for her to be doing for the stupid evil Cancer, but there isn't. I feel so terrible seeing her like that and I just continue to pray for a miracle every day. Anyone have one of those lying around? Yeah, probably not, huh? I have a really hard time dealing with her Cancer (I imagine most people do), so I'm hoping I'll muster up the strengh to write some posts about it on here one day. Perhaps it will help to get it out? Perhaps.

I think that's it for this post. I actually have something else to share with you guys, but I think I'm going to write a seperate post for it. It's something I decided on Thursday and I'm pretty pumped about it. Is it silly to write two posts back to back? Probably, but I want to make it a weekly topic I chat about, I kind of want it to be a lone post for that reason.

Anywho, hope everyone else had a nice week! As you can see, mine was filled with some pluses and minuses. Thank God for the pluses!
