Well I am so excited right now I don't know where to start!
Firstly, Graceyn is getting huge! She is now 26 inches, and I'd estimate about 13 or so pounds! maybe more!? She has recently started blowing raspberries, but only when she is getting upset! It is sooooo funny! We think she will probably skip crawling and go right to walking later on. She hates being on her tummy! And if given a choice would rather be standing than sitting or laying! So it will be interesting to see what she does! She is also now in 6 month clothes! We might be in trouble! We got her 6 and 9 month summer clothes! but her issue is that everthing is short, but its still baggy on her, so we are thinking that summer stuff is already short, so it wont be noticable! she might be able to wear that stuff! As of now the 9 month stuff is still huge! and falls off her skinny butt!
Next- My car died on Thursday. You may wonder why I'm so excited!? Well that is because now its in amazing shape. I got new brake pads on, got a new multi-funciton switch (which is what went out!), a new battery, and new tires! all I need now is to vacuum it and get my oil changed and we'll be in great shape! Which bring me to my next thing-
we are going on a mini road trip in a couple of weeks! On April 9 Graceyn has her next dr. visit at 8am, and I took the day off. After her appointment we are heading east! We are going to Iowa city to visit friends on Friday night, then on Satruday we are going to Cedar rapids to see my friend Lindsay and her husband Ed. They are expecting in Aug. and I am passing my maternity clothes off for her to borrow! It will be nice to get that big box out of my living room! then after we see them, we are stopping in cedar falls possibly for some of our favorite chinese food! Then on to Des Moines where we are going to meet up with a new friend of mine! Melissa and I met on a pregnancy message board waaay back last march or april, and found out that she lives in Des Moines! We've been emailing and talking on Facebook for quite a while now, and we have finally found the time to meet for real! I'm really excited! She had her daughter just a couple days after I had Graceyn! Her husband is a huge Iowa fan also, so I'm sure him and Thomas will get along great! After we see them we are heading home late Satruday night, in the hopes that Graceyn will sleep the whole way! If we need to we'll just stay another night, but we thought this might work better!
Another new exciting development---Thomas is now working 8-5 Mon-Thurs!!!! still works 11-8 sunday, but its ok. To have him home at 5 during the week is going to be amazing! Today was the first day of this schedule...Graceyn was confused when she had to go to day care much earlier than normal, but I am sure she'll adjust quickly! I won't know what to do when I can actually get things done or run an errand after work and have Thomas there to help with her! Plus we can now eat dinner at a 'normal' time! Not at 930 anymore!
And lastly, the weather has me excited! It is supposed to be sunny and in the upper 50's all week! We will certainly be going out for walks this week!!!
Hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather we are getting, and if you aren't getting nice weather.....when I'm not sorry, cause we've had one heck of a winter and I just don't have it in me to feel bad for anyone else with crappy weather right now :)
Take care! I'll for sure update after her Dr. appt with height and weight, etc!
