The Sunday Somethings, 20dec09
December 20th, 2009Something that made me happy this week: Getting cards in the mail! I love getting cards.
Something I’m thinking: Maddie is 22 months old today.
Something I’m hoping: I’m hoping that I feel better tomorrow. I have felt awful all day with congestion, headache, and a sore throat. Today was not a good day for any of us. Maddie didn’t nap, Gabe’s Bengals lost, and I was feeling miserable.
Something happening around the house: The cleaners came on Friday, though you wouldn’t know it by looking at the house this evening. I don’t know how we go from clean to disaster so quickly.
Something I’m reading: I started reading The Help again. I had started it before getting back to Loving Frank. The Help is our book club’s March selection, although I’m not sure I’ll be able to make it to any of the next three meetings. I still wanted to keep up with the books, if possible!
Something tasty I ate this week: I had lots of tasty treats from the goodie table at work this week. Yes, we have an entire week of grazing in our group.
Something Maddie did this week: For most of the past week, we have taken Maddie up to her room for bedtime and put her in the crib. After she arranges her “buddies” on their tummies and tells each of them “good night,” we cover her with a light blanket. Then we’ve literally been able to say, “good night” and walk out of the room. Most nights, we have not heard a peep from her after this new ritual. After nearly two years of bedtime struggles, this is amazing! Now if we can just get her to sleep through the night…although if I had to pick between the two feats, I’d pick the struggle free bedtime over sleeping through the night. We have had many, many times where it took us HOURS to get her to sleep at night. This is a welcome change.
Something happening with the pregnancy: We had another appointment this week – the 34 week appointment. Wow, time is really flying. The appointment went well. My blood pressure is fine this time (I had issues with this in the last pregnancy). I have less swelling, though I had some pretty bad swelling on both Thursday and Friday. Yesterday was better as I stayed off my feet as much as I could. Just a little over a week until my next appointment, and then we’ll be going every week or more often until the baby arrives.
Something I struggled with this week: Stupid weather canceled both my shower and maternity session. Now I just hope that they can happen in early January. We’ll see.
Something I’m doing towards my goals: Nothing.
Something I learned this week: One of Maddie’s molars has broken through her gums! I’m not sure when that happened exactly, but I’m sure that she had plenty of cranky moments that can now be explained. This makes 9 teeth for Miss Maddie.
Something I’m looking forward to next week: Christmas!!!
Something random: During my last pregnancy, I missed my shower due to a kidney stone. Yesterday’s shower was postponed due to the weather. I’m hoping that I can make it to the rescheduled event, though I’m not going to hold my breath just yet. Aside from it being in the middle of winter, it will be less than 3 weeks from my due date. My mom never had a baby shower. I arrived a month early on the day that she was supposed to attend her shower for me.
Something captured: Our Christmas tree!
