Week from HELL! And baptism, finally...
I AM ALIVE!
Oh geezes what a week... o.O
And when I say I am alive, I say barely... Or at least that's how it feels like. Christ on a bike... Both me and peting73 has been sick. Like, REALLY sick... I've been feeling ill, wanting to puke, weak body, fever... you name it... for an entire week.
And, of course, peting73 got it to. Me? Sleep? HA HA HA HA HA HA! No. I got TWO whole sleep in mornings this week while we've been sick. TWO! Count them. TWO!!!
Of course, taking care of Alexandra has been a priority, but you know... I thought we were two about that. Every morning when she has woken up (around 7am or before), I've gotten from peting73s corner of the bed... "I'd rather not..." EVERY TIME! (Well, except those two mornings.) Dude, I'll strangle anyone using those words now, I swear... We had a fight about it at 5am in the morning when Alexandra had an early morning one day. All he wants to do when not feeling any good is lay flat on his back... "hen we got better, we talked it out. Alexandra is not just my responsibility. She is his daughter to. If we're both sick, we gotta take turns. One more round like this, and I don't know what I'll do. I swear...
On a happier note, on the 19th of January we baptised Alexandra! :-)
Alexandra Yvonne Linnea... :-D Beautiful names, right? My mom has Linnea as a middlename, and peting73s mom has Yvonne as a middlename and well... Since they both ROCK as moms AND as grandmoms and both will mean TONS to Alexandra since both her grandfathers are out of the picture... it felt like a good idea. :-) They were both quite touched by it to. :-)
Here's a photo of me, peting73, Alexandra and spicehobbit at the church. And yes, that is the ancient baptisimal gown that Alexndra has on. :-)
(Click for bigger.)
That lace/tulle is over 100 years old... Scary to think about. But it held together! And Alexandra was really good during the whole thing!
Here's a better photo of that dress. :-) Alexandra in the arms of my best friend and now officially Alexandras godmother spicehobbit.

She'll grow past spicehobbit in no time though! *grins* Both me and peting73 are very tall, while she is very short... So chances are Alexandra will be very tall to... :-) Time will tell, I suppose. :-D
Now it's time for bed here though. Maybe I'll get better at updating here now, who knows?
