Busy Friday

Well today I was SUPER EXCITED to be able to go out front and mow the yard....and NOT have to worry about Stephanie because she was inside playing with Josh. Let me explain, I LOVE mowing my yard and haven't been able to go outside and just "play" in forever...first I was prego (and way sick) then I had Stephanie and when I did go mow I had to get it done fast because there was no telling when she would wake up. So today was an awesome experience to mow and "play" in my yard getting it all nice. But there was a problem, a rather BIG problem.....it was 100 degrees and I had only had coffee to drink today. So I finished mowing the yard, but no weeding the flowerbeds or planting my rooted plants......I barely made it inside for a COLD shower and trying to drink enough water. Pretty sure I had heat exhaustion along with dehydration. I am just NOW (7 hours later) starting to feel okay. Not the smartest thing I've ever done...but man was I excited when it started. (I should have thought a little more about the time of day, temp and ozone alert).

Sad note, Stephanie is sleeping in her own bed. I have a cold/allergies and at night I am sneezing and blowing my nose all night. Josh just sleeps through it, but I woke Stephanie up all night (which made for an interesting day following). So last night I put her to bed in her bed and left her....she slept great and had a WONDERFUL day today. I however was still up all night sneezing and blowing my nose....and sad because my little girl was sleeping all by herself and I missed her. When I got up this morning to feed her I just held her and kissed her....until she SCREAMED at me because she wanted to play on her mat. Our little girl is growing up so fast and it makes me sad.....I want another baby (okay, maybe not yet but I SO have to do this again ;) She also tried sweet potatoes today and they were a hit. She is still having problems keeping it all in her mouth because she still tongue thrusts, but she liked them. I may end up using them for a base to her other veggies......we'll see how creative I get tomorrow at Sprouts (our local store to get good organic produce).

Much love, have a great weekend! I'm heading to bed now that my little princess is fast asleep in her own bed :(
