In the adventures of new mommy hood some rather silly stuff has been happening...
* Assistant principal who only met me 9 months pregnant asked me if I was Mrs. McNairy this morning. I said yes, and shocked he said,"Wow I didn't recognize you. I'm sorry"
What, was I like a huge pregnant woman or something? Answer: Yes I was. haha Its fun to look back and laugh now that my sweats look like sweats again and not leggings. 5lbs to go before pre-preggo weight. wahoo
* I took Marty to Costco the other day. I love that store. I encountered two problems however. First problem, it's really hard to get to the samples with a cart! I used to just leave my cart and wander over to the samples and weasle my way to the front of the line. Sure it is frowned on to leave your baby for a bite size ravioli on a toothpick. ( Not that I would, I'm just saying) So, the only sample I was able to get that had no line or mob of other hungry shoppers was a piece of cheese. Lame.
Problem #2- I am short. I can't see around the cart when I put Marty in his carrier on the front of the cart. I try really hard to navigate safely without running into glass displays or stacks of cookies( Yes both happened, but no damage to cart or cookies) but just can't see whats infront of me unless its very big .While pushing my cart with Marty in it I most definitely ran into another cart with a 3 year old sitting in the front. Yes, I ran into her legs, yes I made her cry, yes I felt terrible. In my defense I would have been able to see this abandoned cart with a small small child in had her mom not been busy trying to get sample of one of those bites sized raviolis. Come on lady, stay by your cart/kid. Priorities. Sheesh
*Marty slept through the NIGHT!!! (by night I mean 11-6:45) I am overjoyed by this. I felt like I slept forever last night. Consequently I heard one of my friends with out kids mention this morning that she has been waking up once a night for the last few weeks and how weird it was. I thought it funny that I forgot normal people don't get up numerous times in the night.
*I talk to Marty all the time while it's just us at home. I am now noticing I am talking to myself even when he is not in the room. I actually said, " Mommy's just going to get a drink of water now" and laughed out loud and realized, A. I could get a drink with out announcing to world that that was what I was doing but also that B. Marty was asleep in his bed
I am loving being a mom. I hate every minute I am not with him. I can't wait for Christmas and more family to meet the little charmer. Scott took him to class with him for a test review and he was smiling at all the girls in Scott's class. He is a flirt. Ladies under 6 months watch out.
Until next time...
I have been a work widow the last little bit as Scott's company has been switching offices. So Marty and I have been hanging out playing with my new point and shoot camera I got for Christmas
Who can resist those buns?
So this has been the major project I have been working on. I have wanted a Petunia Pickle Bottoms diaper bag ever since I saw my sister-in-laws but there is no way I can afford one so I thought.. Why not try to make one? It has been so much fun and while there are quite a few flaws I am for the most part really proud of it. It took me a week to make because I had to sew during nap times but it's finally done. The outside fabric I fell in love with last year and Scott bought it for me for Christmas a year ago and I have been saving it for the right project. The interior is leftover from Scott's lining of his Christmas stocking and the interior pockets are from the runners that were used at our wedding. It has magnet closures and a zipper! I m no Martha Stewart but I sure like pretending!
