Oh Zoe...

Her new little whining thing is SO hilarious and cute. Good lord I hope she doesn't keep it up when she is older though.
My oldest niece whines and it is SO annoying.
I'll try to get some video of Zoe doing it tomorrow heh.
____

I dunno WTH DH's mom and aunt are smoking but they're starting to ask us when we're gonna let Zoe spend the night with them. Uhm... WHAT??
Zoe is 6 months old... chill the hell out with the spend the night BS. SHEESH.
And of course they ask this right after telling me that their dogs killed one of their goats. Uhm... and you want our BABY over there? I don't frickin think so.
Yeah they cleaned it for Christmas, but I can guarantee that there is still probably Christmas trash all over the place still b/c none of them cleaned it up yet.... or will clean it up later.
Have I mentioned that MiL is a total hoarder? And that FiL and MiL are oblivious to the poo, pee, and general funkiness of their home?

Just no way. I makes my stomach twist in a knot even thinking about Zoe over there for the night.

And MiL is passive aggressively trying to make us feel guilty b/c Zoe only sees her once a week and how "Zoe should see her granny more often!"
Bitch please....
I do love MiL, even with all of her problems, but come on now... just stop.
Hell, my own mom sees Zoe maybe once every 2 weeks so MiL is lucky she sees her more often.

I can't even imagine what it's going to be like whenever we have another. The non-subtle hints about letting Zoe stay over there while we take care of the new baby, etc etc.
Thanks for the offer, but that's not gonna happen until your house is clean.
How the heck do you say that to someone without hurting their feelings? Sigh...

Oh and don't even get me started on how sick they are ALL the damn time!! I swear, one of them is sick every other week.
Last week it was FiL, this week it's MiL and SiL's girl.
Next week, I'm sure it will be DH's aunt and someone else.
They are the sickest bunch of people I've ever met. How the hell do you get sick that often?
Now I can understand why I don't get sick since I'm home most of the time, but DH works with a lot of people and he had one cold last year. That was it.

So again.... Zoe is not spending the night over there until they change something. Clean their shit up.

Whew, that turned in to a long rambling rant! :P lol

OH I forgot, one of DH's friends gave us a bunch of frozen homemade baby food. Their own baby is now eating 'real' non-pureed food, so they gave us whatever they had left. NICE. Saves us some money and time spent making the stuff :D

Oh and Zoe is now sitting in the little kiddy chairs at restaurants now. Dawwww. When we went out with family on Friday, we put her in one and she loved it. Looking around at everyone, banging on the table.

*sniffles* She's growing up so fast.

2:30

It's 2:30am and I'm wide awake b/c of frickin acid reflux. GROSS.
Was kinda tossing and turning. Laying in bed trying to get back to sleep when suddenly, there was vomit in my throat.
Now I'm up coughing w/ vomit breath even though I brushed my teeth again and gargled mouth wash. AWesome.

DD didn't get to sleep until 9pm, figures when I'm wide awake, she is sound asleep lol.

She seems to have gotten over her stranger anxiety that she was having before. When I went to the doc to get my ear checked out, she had big smiles for the nurses and doc, and w/ family, she had big smiles for them too.
She frickin LOVES her older cousin (brother's oldest girl who is 8).
I dunno what it is about that particular cousin, but babies just seem to love her and can't take their eyes off of her.
SiL's little girl was exactly the same way towards her. Whenever she was around, she would stare at older cousin and laugh at her and just big smiles for her. We tell the cousin that she's a 'baby whisperer' hehe.
If it keeps up, she's gonna have a great career in baby sitting :P

Anywho, back to writing down a crochet pattern I'm working on. Muahahaha, hope it works out. First time I'm writing my own pattern. :) We'll see how it turns out.

Whining

Oh man... Zoe has learned a new sound.... whining.
It's this high pitched disapproving whine sound.
Cute now, but lord it's going to be annoying when she's older if she keeps doing it lol. I'll have to get video of it heh.

Oh and I've stopped taking my HPTs. Think I took all of the ones that were going to expire next month or in April. The rest now should be expires in August. So yep, gonna save im until hopefully I'll need them.

OPKs are still bleh, but not expecting much to happen until I start losing weight.


Zoe has her 6m checkup on Monday. Can't wait to see how much she weighs!

Uhm, ok she's awake from her nap.

Great.....

So DH told me yesterday that we have a wedding to go to early April. Awesome. Now I get to show all of his friends how fat I've gotten!
Sigh...

I started metformin again. Starting off VERY slow. First 500mg I took made me feel sick for about an hour.
2nd one I took yesterday, I didn't have any reaction to it so yay.
Will stick with this for about 2 weeks and then increase to 1000. Going to have to call up my doc to get another prescription for it though. Which means I'll probably have to come in for my annual. BLEH!
I'm so tired of having my vag examined! lol
Really gotta start exercising again.
I know I keep saying that over and over again. Just need that motivation to finally do it and trust me, going to a wedding ISN'T that motivation. Hell, wanting another baby isn't even doing it.
Think that's just the exhaustion talking though. Just don't have the energy to want to do much of anything right now.

Think Zoe is asleep again. Gonna go try to catch a few more winks before she wakes back up in 10mins :P heh

Grooooooss

So, I took my butt to the doc this morning.
Just ear wax... a WHOLE LOT OF ear wax to be exact :P lol

Seriously... GROSS. They gave me the option of drops or they clean it out. I opted for them cleaning it out for me, and holy good god. I didn't get a close up look, just what it looked like as the nurse poured out the stuff in to the sink and *gag*
I dunno how I had ANY hearing in that ear!! There was SOOOOOOO much of it! BLARGH!

No infection just a little irritated, but the doc smeared a little bit of ointment inside anyway just to be sure.
Just gross though. I figured it was blocked up, but not THAT much. They took this big syringe thing and filled it with warm water and peroxide and squirted the hell out of my ear 3 or 4 times. First time, a crap ton of gunk came out, 2nd time I didn't see, and then they kept at it until some stuff way in the back was flushed out finally.

Anyway... I can hear again! WOO!!!

Think poor Zoe may need to go back in to disposables. Looks like her little butt is getting irritated. Seems to happen if she has been pooping a lot so we have to go in and wipe it off which makes it sensitive. Poor baby girl :( May just try patting and using warm water next time she has poop. Just try not to rub.

Stubborn

That's what I'm being right now by not going to the doctor yet about this damn ear.
I'm so hell bent on just waiting and seeing if it gets better even though... well, it hasn't.
Gonna have to talk myself in to just going tomorrow. Hopefully get my mom to look after Zoe while I go, but if not, then I'll just bring her along with me.

Anyway... so yeah, there's still that.

Zoe's sleeping is still all off. She sttn 2 nights in a row (she still woke up at around 5 but it's still technically sttn), then last night it was the same crud she's been doing. Waking up at midnight then 2, 3 etc.
FX she sttn again tonight.

During her naps, I've been letting her do it on the floor. She still likes her RnP, but the floor is working too. She can play and then just lean back on the boppy pillow and sleep lol.
Or well, she shimmied off of it in this photo but you get the point heh

Nothing much going on though. Just life stuff happening :)

Photos!

No more sling in her baby bath. She has started to splash in the water now. It creates a huge wet mess, but it's so cute :D


Damn this ear!

Ok if it isn't any better by tomorrow, I'll be taking Zoe to spend some time with my mom and taking my partially deaf ass to the doctor.
I know my continued attempts to try to clear it up is only making it worse, so I'm doing nothing to it today.
MAYBE peroxide later tonight, but that's it. Sigh, still hoping it clears up on its own but doesn't look like that's going to happen.
Thankfully it doesn't hurt.

Alrighty, Zoe is fussing. Gotta go do the whole mommy thing I guess ;) hehe
