Chiropractic Torture...

I finally went to the chiropractor today...because my shoulder blades have been so tense, and my hips have felt sore since Paige was born. Darren decided to go too. We were in the room together, and Darren went first. The guy just beat on Darren, jumping all over him to crack his back. It made me a little nervous!! So then I went - sure enough, one hip was rotated forward, and one outward. So he cracked them back in place. It hurt for a millisecond - then instant RELIEF!! Then he moved on to my shoulder blades...CRACK...pain....RELIEF!!! I felt soooooo goood when he was done beating on me! I can sit up straight now without it hurting. He said I looked taller...giggle giggle.

Okay E. seriously...I just read your comments from my last post. You made me cry darling. Thank you for your very kind words. I really needed to hear that. I wish I could express to you how special you are to me. Thank You. I think it really feels good to get what I am thinking out in the open...and out of my brain. Although, remember Sarah McLaughlin at her concert...I think she has a good point when she mentioned something about brain cells leaking out in her breast milk. Enough Said.

Yummy...Carrots!

Paige is growing daily. Here is a picture of her after Daddy has fed her some carrots. Somewhere in between the diapers, and the baby food - I feel like I loosing myself (Yet I LOVE being a mother). It feels like my identity is slowly being defined as how I rate as a mother. This must be a common feeling among new mothers. How could I expect anything else. My day is consumed with taking care of her and making sure she has a well rounded childhood - the perfect combination of affection and discipline...the right nutrition, musical exposure...clean clothing. So I keep this blog, it keeps me sane. And I feel that I am not alone knowing that the ones I love the most are reading this page daily - eagerly anticipating my next journal entry. I have so much to be thankful for. I love you guys.

Saturday Again...

Boy time flies!! Saturday again?? Well...Eskimo Football was sooo much fun last night. Paige was giggling so hard, that K. and I were laughing hysterically - then crying! Today Paige and I garage saled all day! We bought lots of clothes for next summer - and a high chair for Nanny's place. It's hot in our place - better go turn on the fans...

Finally Friday!

Wow! This week just flew by!! I can't believe it's Friday already. Darren left early this morning to go with his football team to Canmore. They are going whitewater rafting this afternoon and then staying in a hotel. Tomorrow they'll play in a mini tournament. Football season already...

Yupee - my car stereo is so cool. I love it!!

Tonight is Eskimo Football! Just going to be the girls tonight....(Well be checking out all the bench stretching - Right K.?)

Pimp My Ride

Didn't do much yesterday - Paige was a cranky girl. At least I got some funny pictures of her having attitude!! Ha Ha!! My niece and nephew came over for a sleep over last night - and today we are taking my car to get a new stereo and speakers put in. I am so excited! (Hey Keltie, I am "Pimpin' my own Ride"!!! LOL)

We'll probably see a movie while they work on my car, then go for dinner - then go swimming. Busy fun day!

Thank You Auntie Erin!

This morning after I fed, diapered and oogled over Paige - she was sitting on my lap looking as bored as ever! Almost to say "okay, so now what??" Then I thought - maybe you'd like to bounce around! I got out her Bumper Jumper, that Auntie Erin bought for her - and she loves it!!! This will surely help her legs to get stronger. I don't think this kid will crawl...she's just going to walk some day!

Awesome time last night!

Yesterday was a beautiful day. Lia and Jason's wedding was gorgeous! I cried, of course, during the ceremony. Even Paige thought it was pretty fun. The reception, oh my god...can you say yummy???!!! The food was amazing! I have never had such fantasticly delicious food in my life. To give you an idea - there were 7 courses!! (not including the martinis handed to you as you walked in the reception room with shrip cocktail and bruschetta...) The reception was so much fun - what a great group of people. Lia looked so gorgeous, and Jason just as handsome.

PJ didn't get to bed until 2am - but she didn't care. She was having a ball (as much fun as a 4 month old can have I suppose!) As a result of our late night, she got up once for a feed around 5am, then went right back to sleep until 11am!!! I feel spoiled!

Funny thing is I don't feel hungry yet...LOL (Poor me! :-)

Wedding Day!

Yupee - get to get all dressed up for Lia and Jason's wedding today. It is going to be a beautiful event. I'll try and get a nice family photo to post here. I can't wait.

P.S. Paige has been sleeping through most of the nights now, only sometimes waking for one feeding. What a blessing!! Gosh she's a great kid.

Friday...

Today I "relaxed" at home with Paige. As soon as Darren got home from work, we took our old sofa and microwave to Sara's new appartment in Fort. Saskatchewan. Then we came back to Sherwood Park, had dinner at Kelsey's, then went shopping again at Walmart. It is like I am at that place almost daily! Came home and watched the movie "Closer" - not bad, not great - just an okay movie. Now I am here waiting for Paige to fall asleep. Then I will too....

"I am Certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support - Can I help you?"

Busy day again...but what else is new. Took Paige for her 4 month well check at Dr. Hosford. Everything is great! My little rose bud is 14lbs! She is supposed to start on solid foods now. (Secretly I have already tried - Paige is not a fan of them...she likes her boobie!) I guess I'll have to make a solid effort at it now (pardon the pun - Ha Ha!). I'll cook some real foods for her. I bought some carrots from the farmer's market to cook for her - we'll see how it goes!

After the doctor's appt. I decided to go to my parent's place. They are away for the month of August, so I thought I'd spend some time and make it look "lived in". From there I went to Walmart - and the excitement began! I was browsing through the shoe section, after a lengthy baby section shop - and I hear a frantic, out of breath voice over the intercom "CODE WHITE SHOES, CODE WHITE SHOES!!" Hummm, I was already in the shoes section, and being the nosey girl that I am, I went out to the main isle and thought I'd see what a code white was. There I found an old man on the ground. I ran over and introduced myself as trained in advanced cardiac life support - boy were they happy to see me! This old guy was having chest pains. I asked them right away if they had called an ambulance - and they wern't sure, so I told them to call again. Then asked if they had an oxygen tank - the old guy was breathing, and had a weak pulse, but looked rather pale. They didn't know if they had a tank - or where the emergency kit was. I told them to go look for it. I sat with this guy - he says "I don't want an ambulance." So I say, "well they're already on the way - Sorry." (knowing damn well he needed them!!) The paramedics arrived and whisked him off to the hospital. His wife thanked me, then I was off to try on a pair of shoes!!

Now I am home - feeding Paige. We go the the bank at 3:30pm to get the money for the down payement on the new house...and then go to the showhome and finalize it all! We'll be officially starting to build! Then it's off to dinner with James and Heather.

Is my day busy enough???

Shopping Queen!

Okay - I have been shopping all day! I am looking for something nice to wear to Lia and Jason's wedding this weekend. Since I have been loosing weight since having the baby, none of my clothes fit me quite right! I am so happy to have this problem!!! I just stopped at home to feed Paige, change her poopy diaper, and read my email. I am heading out to the Farmer's Market at Festival Place. OOOHHHH Gross!! Paige just puked on my keyboard. Ha Ha it didn't hit any keys - just the wrist support. I'll be back later!

Sleep is AMAZING!!

Paige slept last night from the time I put her to sleep (around 11:30pm) until 10:30am today! It was truly great!!!! I kept waking up and checking to see if she was still breathing. (Would you expect less from me?) and comtemplating "pumping the girls". Everytime I do that - when she sleeps long, she wakes up when I am mid-pumping session. Okay - did I kill you with too much information(TMI)? I feel so refreshed! I wish this weather was better - then it would match my mood.

Sunday Night...

So my hopes of posting daily have already vanished! It is almost midnight - and I was planning on getting to bed early tonight! I just fed Paige and she is out for the count. Just a quick hello - and then I'm off to bed. I am sorry that you, my friends and family cannot post comments without getting a log in - That really sucks. I guess I won't even know if anyone is really even reading theses blogs... Maybe I need to say something really controversial, so people can confront me! Then I would know who was reading these! LOL Okay here is my newest picture of Paige. She is chewing on her Lady Bug toy...

Goodnight - Sleep tight! Don't let the Zimperzumperzoo's bite!!! (You can ask me about that one...)

Can't get anything done!!!

Well, I am sure you've accomplished many more things than I have today. I really feel discouraged! Why at 2:30pm have I not been able to shower, or even do the dishes from last nights supper?? Well I guess the answer is obvious...Paige! My little baby girl. She takes up all of my time. After she went down for her morning nap - around 11:30, I wrapped a birthday present for tonight...and then she woke up. After a mega-crap, feeding and playing with her - my day is gone!!! She is in my arms now, as I type, falling asleep. So she'll be down in her crib within minutes. I should be used to it by now. Okay - she's asleep now, so I am going to shower....Smell ya' later!!

Too much time online...

It's 10:45pm - why am I not in bed? Paige is sleeping, Darren is sleeping...I definetly spend too much time online. I got this brilliant idea that I should start a blog. Yes, a form of communication for my loved ones to read up on my daily activities.

So today, I scrapbooked all day with my sister in law Heather. It was fantastic! We are also finalizing the paper work on the new house. We are getting the mortgage sorted all out. We sign all the papers for everything on Saturday. Conditions will be removed, and we'll be officially building! I am so excited - We'll have a garage, and a dishwasher!!!
