My Big Girl

She turned 3 months on Tuesday!! (I took the pics on her birthday, but you know how I am at uploading!) And here's her first swim that I promised. Please ignore the stepmom and sister in the picture! (and how do you like my new 'do?)

I'm still having issues with Blogger wanting to post my pictures. This thing does NOT like me...so I apologize for the format.

Feelin' good

There's something about a pedicure that makes me feel good. And it's not just the time when I'm getting it done. I got one last night..a french pedicure so I can ooh la la at myself (ha!). And everytime I look down at my toes, it makes me smile. My toes look fab! Granted, it could be because I was in DESPARATE need of a pedi....

And along with my newly decorated toes, I'm proud to say I'm in a pair of DRESS PANTS. WHOO HOO! I went back through some of my pants I packed away (I couldn't wear these right before I got pregnant since they were too big) and I found these and a pair of capris. Yay!

Email Love

I got the best email from a new friend of mine last night. She told me how great I'm looking and how awesome it is I can fit back into some of my old clothes already. And she said I'm looking fabulous. That is the BEST feeling!! Especially when I'm not seeing numbers drop on the scale right now. (I think it's that eating thing...gets me every time!)

I went to spinning last night. My girlfriends asked if I was addicted yet. Yeah, not so much...I think it'll take awhile. Not exactly the most fun thing to do, but it feels damn good once you're done!!

Argh

I hate computers. Seriously. How freaking hard is it to get pictures uploaded to a damn blog? Apparently pretty difficult seeing as how it won't work for me. :( I have Lexi pictures all ready to go, too. *sigh*

WT

We had BUNCO Saturday night. It was a doozy! Our theme? White Trash and Preppy. Too bad I didn't get any pictures of myself. I was HAWT. Tight jeans (which, I may mention were NOT maternity and I could actually button them...granted, they were my "big" jeans before pregnancy, but still!), black bra, white wife beater, thong hanging out, big clunky work boots, bright red lipstick, and I topped it off with a John Deere hat. Should I be worried that all that was in my closet??

Christina even had some apps that went with the theme...pigs in a blanket, sloppy joes, busch and busch light, cosmos, rolled wraps, and little spinach thingys.

I'd have to say the best was her SIL, Maureen, who came as a WT Lesbian. Oooh baby!! Pics to come of that hottness later.... :)

You go girl!

My little girl had a record breaking day yesterday! She had her first swim in Grandpa Hines' new pool (where Mommy promptly dunked her under water!) AND...drumroll...she ROLLED OVER from back to tummy for the first time!!!!!!! Yay Lexi!!!!! Just 2 days shy of her 3 month birthday :) I'll hopefully have some pool pics up tonight for your viewing pleasure.

Knock on wood

"Girl you'd better knock, knock, knock on wood...."

Damnit, I spoke too soon. Took me an hour tonight to get Lex to fall asleep. The past two nights, we've done bath, reading and bottle and I've been back downstairs in less than 30 minutes.

Woot

I've been having a hard time lately because I don't get to see my Lexi girl much. Makes me sad to have to work. On top of working, I've been trying to work out and have gotten at least 2-3 workouts in per week. Which means even more time spent away from her. Last night made up for it a little when I stepped on the scale and saw I'm down another 2.5 lbs since last Wednesday! WHOO HOO!

Still is hard only seeing my baby girl for a couple hours at night. Who can resist this one?

I'm beat

I took a friends' spinning class this evening. I'd better have lost a shitton of weight for as hard as it was and for as much as I sweat!! I think I'm going to be sore tomorrow....

Gotta lose this baby weight, though!

Exhaustion

I have an almost 3 month old. So, one could figure that she makes me exhausted and I don't get sleep due to her waking up in the middle of the night. Notsomuch. Damn storms woke me up at 3:20 and I didn't get back to sleep until 4am this morning! I went in to check on her and she hadn't moved. AT ALL. Girl sleeps through anything!

Hopefully, no one had any major issues. There were a bunch of trees and power lines down on P-town Rd. Thankfully, none by us, so our power was still on. (Phew!)

Last time we had these kind of storms, I was on maternity leave and was able to go back to sleep. Today's a day I REALLY am wishing I didn't have to work!

Maybe I can crawl under my desk later for a cat nap??

Update

Brandon was right. Did you read that correctly, B? You were right. The meeting with my supervisor and manager was nothing. Nothing more than catching up on life and telling me they were glad to have me back. I kept waiting, but nothing ever came. Phew.

Frustrated

It's 3pm and I'm currently sitting on the couch with nappy greasy hair and in my pjs because my daughter WILL NOT SLEEP. Correction...she will sleep, but only on me. I've tried putting her in her bouncy and crib at least 5 times each. And she wakes up immediately and screams. Of course Brandon's working on the GTI in Reynoldsburg, so no shower any time soon for me.

Do you know how hard it is to not get mad at her and not break down and start crying?

Brandon and I had a long talk last night about our lives. I knew that when Lexi was born, there'd be sacrifices made. But, I imagined it being easier than it is. I feel like him and I haven't talked in ages. The only talking we do is about the house and projects. And yeah, we do stuff with our friends, but sometimes I feel left out. We tend to have to leave because it's past Lexi's bedtime and she's fussing too much. Or I can't get crazy since I have a daughter now.

I love my daughter, don't get me wrong, but it isn't the glory and glamour I thought it would be. :(

Nervous...

So I started back to work last Wednesday after 12 awesome weeks off for maternity leave. I didn't think it was going to be so hard to leave my little one. I didn't cry (should I be proud of that?), but my heart hurt. Anyway, my supervisor came to me last Friday to tell me that him and my manager wanted to take me to lunch to talk about "things". Ok, first of all....all my one-on-one's have been in office for an hour. This is out of the office and for an hour and a half.

When he came to tell me and ask what day was good, he was really quiet about it. That in and of itself scares me. I have NO CLUE what is going to happen today and that makes me so incredibly nervous. I guess if I were going to get fired, they would've done it last week. Granted, I don't think I have done anything to get fired over (and I haven't been here for 12 weeks!). I'm nervous that they want me to work with another group. Can I just say how much I hate change? I'm a creature of habit. I like comfort. Throw me into a new situation and I'm sweating bullets and my stomach does flip flops. I'm nervous they're going to give me something I can't do.

This sucks. I wish he would've told me more last week. Ugh. Fear of the unknown sucks donkey balls. Wish me luck....our lunch is at 11:30. (though...I guess I should be happy I'm getting a free lunch out of this.....)

Everyone's doin' it...

Guess I'm a follower. I read so many blogs a day, that I suppose I should have one too. I have no clue what I'll write about. Maybe I'll just ramble. I suppose I could talk about my beautiful daughter, but that may get old to some people. Look at me...assuming people will read MY blog! ha!

Anyway..here's hoping I can come up with something interesting to say :)
