Um yeah I totally need to update more! It’s been a whole month since I last typed in this blog and that is completely unacceptable! I guess I could sit here and say “a lot has changed” but we are pretty much going about life as usually.
E has started cooing, “talking”, and smiling a lot. But only in the morning as I have found I get a cranky little princess by about 500 at night. She had a doctor’s appointment last week for shots and a weigh in. She came in at 9 lbs. 4 oz (she was 6 lbs 15 oz when she was born) and is in the 22nd percentile (pip squeak, for sure). Then came the dreaded shots…B was in Chi-town so I had to go about this appointment alone. Of course, like everyone says, this was probably harder for me than her. She did great…only cried for a minute and then slept. I decided to go up to Pittsburgh after the appointment while B was away. The drive went great. E slept almost the entire time and we made it there in five hours instead of four which isn’t too bad if you ask me. I had an awesome visit home! Very relaxing and everyone got to see E. I will post pictures here in a little bit so everyone can see. I definitely miss Pittsburgh and all it’s splendor.
I started to come down with a little sore throat this weekend and I hope it goes away in time for Christmas. There’s nothing worse than trying to bake and cook when feeling lousy. I still have to finish a few more shopping things and I need to finish wrapping. I did some shopping online this year which was great but not everything arrived yet. I hope it gets here in time for the 24th!! B’s family is coming down for Christmas and we are going to Pittsburgh that weekend. It will be busy that’s for sure.
B has been super busy with work but usually after the holiday season it slows down. I interviewed for a job but ended up not getting it. It’s okay though it just means it wasn’t meant to be a this time. Don’t get me wrong, I love staying home with E because I can control so much of what happens as she grows but the job would have been great too. Let’s just say I’m not actively looking for work at the moment. 
After the first of the year I really have to crack down on getting in shape. My goal is to do a triathlon eventually but I would be happy with a 5K or 10K by spring. Let’s see how I do. Wish me luck!
I guess that’s about it…I have o be more diligent at writing in this blog and maybe that will be my other New Years resolution!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone
