the weekend...
i spent the weekend up at moms. the boys were there friday and god they're so big. it's probably because i spend ALL my time with alexis, but my god steven seems like a giant! (ok so my eleven year old nephew is like the same height as me).
they're doing alright with the whole visit my sister for 48 hrs and then come home for 24. my sister seems (so far) to be doing an ok job...and natalie is doing extremely (suprisingly) well with out her brothers at home all the time.
it was a good weekend and after the week i had...i needed it. it wasnt a bad week. just emotional. i am so worried about genia....
alexis and i took her new play yard up to moms. alexis...she loves it and today she was actually batting at the dangling toys. (it was cute)
she also got her first taste of "real" food. she had squash. we got pictures, so im sure i'll be posting them as soon as i get them. she loved it. next week she gets to try carrots and after that she'll have sweet potatos.
alexis likes to watch tv ...and today her, rick and i watched the nascar race. a lil jimmie johnson fan in the making!!! =D
mom and i went to the mall this afternoon and she ended up getting me some stuff i needed. (new bra, socks and a pair of pants that actually fit me. im wearing the pants that i got in ... feb... i dont need to unbutton them to take them off. haha god how sad!) mom also got natalie these cute lil baby shoes at the childrens place.
we talked about me going to work and you know...my whole life my mom has pushed "work work work" on me. pobably where i got my work ethic from...(or my old one..now im like eh....i have no loyalty when it comes to employers)...anyway we were talking and i told her that it's not that i dont want to work
cos god i do
but im just so scared about putting alexis in a daycare....i dont trust anyone...not with alexis being so small and fragile! .. and my mom agreed. i was shocked. i thought she was going to harp on me for not working.
im still hoping for a work at home job or a daycare one or a job i can take alexis too. even 10-15 hrs a week would help right now. not much..but still some.
when we were walking around the mall i kept finding stuff for alexis and mom finally said "you're going to spoil her more than she already is".
alexis is chubby and happy and smiley and she loves me. her lil face lights up when i walk near and she smiles at me ... so i must be doing something right. even if she is so spoiled.
i love my lil baby girl and it shows.
