A baby's birth and a weekend away!

At approximately 5:30 pm on Saturday night, boyfriend and I were left with no plans. I got a hold of a couple of friends, we packed a bag, and hopped in the car to leave the province. We had to make a couple of stops along the way, but arrived at my friends' house shortly after 8pm. 

That, by far, was one of the most spontaneous things we have ever done. 

We hopped in the car and took a two hour trip, complete with bridge fee (almost $45), gas, food. We didn't think much about it, we just did it. Because we had no expectations at all, it was an amazing time. We went out for appetizers and drinks with my friends, watched a movie, and slept over. 

Nothing quite compared to the sleep you have when you know a baby won't be waking you up through the night. We slept for less hours than we usually do, but woke up feeling so much more well rested. 

The next day we hung out for a little bit then went to the mall. We didn't buy anything exciting, but it was nice to browse around together. 

I had so much fun. 

We got groceries then got our girls home and life went back to normal. 

Boyfriend said he was glad we made the trip, since I've seemed so much more, uh, affectionate since we got home. Yeah it might be true. It feels like all is right with the relationship again and we finally spent some real time together. It was so nice. 

The topic of my blog came up over the weekend, since the friend I was visiting reads it. I told boyfriend the only reason I don't go out of my way to give him my blog link is because all I do is bad-mouth him on here. 

So whatever you do, don't tell him about this post. Cause I actually quite like him.

We are not photogenic

Ash and me

My favorite married couple

Mmm mmm Arby's. 

And I don't know any details yet, but finally my friend had her baby - the first of my close friends to have a baby. It's about time someone joins me in motherhood. This is baby Emma and her mommy. I can't believe my friend has a baby. It's so exciting. I'm just sad that she lives on the other end of the country so I won't be meeting this little one until July. I cannot wait. 

And?

As soon as I find out how big or small she really is, let the shopping begin. 

Screw Meal Plan Monday today. Other things are more important. I'll meal plan tomorrow. 

Last Night

Less crazy than it looks

10 Things I Did This Week

1. I followed my meal plan a little bit. We had Monday, Thursday and Friday's meals, just not on those exact days. 

2. Took Madi shoe shopping. I got her a pair of sneakers and sandals for the summer. I left Chloe and boyfriend in the car and took her in the store to try them on. 

3. I crock-pot cooked a chicken. I'll definitely be doing it again, but I did overcook it a little. I was too scared to undercook it. 

4. I felt sad, cause I couldn't dress the girls up in honor of St. Patrick's day at daycare on Friday. Neither of them own anything green. I'm going to keep that in mind the next time I'm shopping for them. 

5. I've been watching Big Brother Canada since it started. It's entertaining, but so many flaws. They play repeats, which is awesome when you miss an episode, except they spoil the major parts in the commercials anyway. 

6. Got a bunch of hand soaps from Bath and Body Works that my boss brought back when she went away on a work trip. 

7. Window shopped for spring and summer clothes for the girls. I could spend thousands on clothes for them. There are so many cute things. 

8. I loved the sunny weather we had on Thursday. I was stuck inside all day, but it was nice to drive home in. 

Eight. I only have eight. I can't think of anything else I did this week. 

Zzzzzz ZzzzZZzz

I'm too tired for blogging today. 

That's just life

This is the sequel to the earlier post "We Lost a Little Sleep". Last night we lost more sleep. 

Madi was up on and off starting around 11 pm, and waking up for the last time around 5:30 am. We are tired. We think (hoping and praying!) that she's growing some molars. I'm going to try to take a peek into her mouth tonight to see what the deal is. Drug her up with some Tylenol if needed. At least she's in a good mood in the day, this morning included. 

Pretending to sleep and snore in the car

While I mentioned before that things have been easy with the kids lately, things have also been busy. The girls have a slightly later bedtime than before. That, combined with boyfriend's work schedule and the girls waking up through the night, leaves us not only tired, but with a lot less time to spend together. 

Things have been getting boring and routine by the lack of quality time. I know it's a rut all parents get into. It was getting the point where we were together a lot, but it still felt like I hadn't seen him in awhile. We're working on it, and hopefully this weekend we'll have some uninterrupted time together. We might even get out of the house. We might even sleep through the night. Here's to hoping and praying.
