The Sunday Somethings, 27dec09
December 28th, 2009Something that made me happy this week: Christmas! I loved seeing Maddie react to every little thing. She’ll probably be asking to open more presents for weeks.
Something I’m thinking: It appears to be Monday, but I just didn’t have the time to do this yesterday.
Something I’m hoping: I’m hoping that the baby waits until close to the due date to make his arrival.
Something happening around the house: Chaos! Toys are everywhere, and we have had guests since Christmas Day. I’m trying to decide whether to put away the Christmas decorations before the New Year’s Eve party or leave them up. I want to leave them up, but that means less gaming space…so I don’t know. I usually like to take the decorations down in the first few days of the new year.
Something I’m reading: I finished The Help. I had some time to read when I was sick earlier in the week. I started reading the first book of the Septimus Heap series, Magyk, by Angie Sage. The Help is March’s book club pick. Magyk is not, but I thought it would be a pretty easy series to read. I might read the next book club book after I finish Magyk, though I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to attend the next few book club meetings.
Something tasty I ate this week: We had LOTS of tasty things this week!!!
Something Maddie did this week: I always see quite a bit of progress in Maddie when we are with her for multiple days. She seems to be talking more than ever! She frequently speaks in complete (and correct) sentences. One day this week, she took the remote control and said, “I want to watch the game” and then “Daddy, I need to watch the basketball.” Daddy was quite proud. Considering that she watches very little (almost no) TV, we were surprised to hear her say this!
Something happening with the pregnancy: I’m noticing more Braxton Hicks contractions and wondering if I’m going to make it to the due date. Things seem a bit different this time than they were with Maddie at this stage. Time will tell. I have my 36 week appointment this week and will now be going to weekly appointments.
Something I struggled with this week: I had an ear infection on top of congestion, headache and sore throat. Ugh! It was not a fun several days, but I was thankful that I was well before Christmas Eve.
Something I’m doing towards my goals: Not a whole lot aside from the usual ongoing things.
Something I learned this week: Maddie has been all about Daddy for about the past 6 months. She seems to be balancing out now and is excited about Mommy as well. It’s nice that she’s turning her attention to me again, though I wonder how it’s going to be when a lot of my attention will be going towards the new baby.
Something I’m looking forward to next week: Our usual New Year’s Eve games night!
Something random: We’re enjoying the new video monitor that we gave ourselves for Christmas. We knew we would need a 2nd monitor for the new baby, and I found this video monitor on sale not too long ago.
Something captured: Maddie opening her stocking stuffed with goodies (and new buddies) from Santa. She had so much fun.
