Well, we started this week with our heads in the toilets.. literally. Brandon and I finally caught the bug. Luckily it was only 24 hours and Sloane was wonderful. She's such a trooper, hanging out in her "baby jail" playing by herself. The baby jail is something I thought I'd never do. How quickly we change our tunes when our little ones are around nothing but sharp corners, electronics and power outlets. Our living room is looking even more ridiculous (than it did with just the treadmill sitting here) with a fenced in play yard right in the middle. Ironic we bought this house because of the big family room but we flock to the small cozy living room. I think it must have something to do with the way B and I grew up… just a theory.
From my first blog you might remember how torn I was about possibly losing my job. Yeah, that is long gone. If I get my way I will be laid off by spring. Work is a very negative place you can feel it when you walk into the building. People just want to know what is going on. We've also decided it best to start Sloane in daycare for the time being. She'll be starting March 1, and while we're very excited for all the new things she'll be doing, we will really miss seeing Nanny Michelle and Brayden every day.
Being so far away from family is always hard but this week we had so many reminders and continue to. I would have done anything to have one of our moms walk through the door so we could sleep off our pukes on Monday and since I only get to see my dear husband on the weekends, I wish we had a baby sitter to watch Sloane so we could do a nice Valentines Day dinner. In the long run being independent of others and dependent on each other will only make us stronger, but still.. sure would be nice!
Two more days till my honey comes home. I seriously cherish the weekends. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
I just read both your blogs and I'm a fan! I love baby Sloane and enjoy hearing about the milestones in her life. I also like to hear about the trials and tribulations you go through. Not in a bad way, its just nice to know I'm not alone in some things. My kids may be alot older than your baby but we go through the same things. They can write all the books in the world about parenting but it can never prepare you for the real thing. And good luck with your job and whatever happens. I personally think if you can stay home and get your certification then go for it. That job obviously doesn't sound too promising. And side note....I would totally babysitter for you if I was there so you and Brandon can have some you time! Looking forward to your next blog!
