Anyway, here are the pictures from her in the pool from a few weekends ago. She really seemed to like it, after the initial getting used to it.
Plunging in...sort-of. Danny was trying to put her hat on and she slipped into the water.
I love her bathing suit!
She loved playing with her bath toys!
I think she splashed a little water in her face.
We had a nice weekend with Danny's family. I haven't had a chance to upload any of my pictures yet, but this was taken at Marissa's 2nd cousins 1st birthday party. Her hair is getting so long and light!
Aubrey (the birthday girl) also had a ladybug birthday theme! They must be quite popular this year. While she had traditional black and red ladybugs, Marissa will be having pink and black (with splashes of green!).
A friend made her cake for her:
As of Monday, I am 10 weeks pregnant! 30+/- to go! I've been feeling pretty good, mostly just tired and hungry. I feel like a bottomless pit. It's been a bit exhausting with Danny on travel. Marissa clearly wants her momma when I get home and it's hard for me to get anything done when she wants to be held. She cries when I sit her down and looks at me like "hold me, momma!" It's cute but it doesn't change the fact that I can literally get nothing done until she goes to bed, when in all reality I just want to sit my butt on the couch and do nothing. I feel like I'm away from her so much as it is, that I just want to spend quality time with her when I get off of work. I really wish that all of my other responsibilities would disappear.
I'm seriously considering asking Danny if he will let me get a maid. :o) I just need someone to keep up with the mundane tasks around the house like vacuuming, mopping, dusting, etc. I try to keep an orderly house, clutter drives me crazy, but it's so hard to keep up with all the dog hair, drool and dander that the dogs create. If I didn't have to worry about those three chores (dusting, vacuuming and mopping) I feel like my life would be SO much easier. I need to find a young teenager who needs some extra money. Although I have no idea what the going rates are for something like that.
Any takers?? I would even be willing to give them the title of "Momma's helper" instead of "maid"! :-D
Ugh - it's only 10:30 and I'm ready for lunch...
I'm not sure if you're involved in a church, but you may be able to find an interested teen at a youth group.
ReplyDeleteI know I got some baby sitting and other gigs like that through my youth group back in the day.
A mother's helper would be amazing!! I hope you're able to find one.
Yay for 10 weeks!!!
