In the past week:
- I went on a popsicle making binge. We had orange creamsicles (vanilla ice cream blended with orange pop), fudgesicles (Nutella blended with milk), and avocado-mango ones. All delicious. I highly reccommend homemade popsicles!
- Three separate people told me how sweet/ what a lovely little girl Laura is. Made mommy proud. <3 (Until we got to this week and she decided she isn't listening to a darn thing I say anymore.)
- We finally got our new windows installed, which is nice, but was also a huge PITA because they happened to both be in the rooms where my children sleep, releasing noxious chemical stink from the caulking for several days. It was so bad we put Laura back in the nursery, and I slept in the living room with Rachel for two nights, which really just resulted in a terrible night's sleep for Josh, her, and me. Ugh. I wish they would have just come to install them several months ago when we first ordered them.
- We got Laura (and Rachel) a play set for the back yard. Along with Josh, Laura's grandpa gave up his whole Father's Day weekend to come up and help assemble it. And it's still not even done. This thing was a massive amount of work. But, I'm sure Laura will L O V E playing on it when it's ready.
- Rachel has finally started showing interest in things other than boobs and sleeping. She has started smiling a lot more (though not deliberately yet) and is looking around more and more now, examining lights, and other high-contrast things like trees against the sky, etc. She had her first ride in the stroller sans carseat, and really enjoyed laying back and looking up at the trees. Super cute.
- I have had a few more emotional days. Sigh. Most days, I'm completely fine, but when something upsets the delicate and carefully crafted equilibrium I have, it tends to be a bad day. Pregnancy & motherhood is such a peach sometimes. My C-section scar has finally healed up now, too. Only took five weeks. :/
