My kid went to bed last night at 1030.
Then she woke up at 1
Then again at 2...
and for a final time at 5.....we've been up ever since.
Now, when I saw we, I mean, we were both awake. I did some laundry, and made myself a nice big cup o' joe. As soon as I downed it, BAM! The kid passes out. OF COURSE since I finished off my coffee, I'm too wired to go back to sleep, so updating here, and watching Regis & Kelly it is.
The plan for today is to dress the kid all cute (myself too, of course) and head to the mall. I need to return some jeans to the Gap, they're too big ::huge grin::
I've never been to the mall by myself with the little one, so I'm sure today will be an adventure. And my luck would have it that the little mall close to my house doesn't have a Gap so I have to go out to the biiiiiig mall. Boo.
Well I was going to make this a nice, long entry, but the kid has awoken...so this'll have to do.

My mid-weekend post
This is new. I usually don't have time to post anymore since I'm gone Monday through Friday from 7a to 6p.....but I've got a few minutes since the kiddo is napping.
The hubs and I have been apartment shopping for the last 2 weeks, and I think we may have found one.
We really wanted to move closer to our nanny who lives about 15 miles east of us, so we looked and looked and had no luck at all. The places we saw were either run down looking, in a bad area, or smaller than we wanted.
Well, the complex right next to where we are living now has been bought by new owners, and they're renovating and updating them. The hubs checked them out last week before I got home, and he has been raving about them ever since, so today we finally went so I could see it. Oh.My.God. While the outside still isn't as nice as it could be (they painted them really odd colors, think brown and tan that seems more purple and peach) the inside is really nice. Not to mention, HUGE. I think the living room there is nearly half the size as our current place. We literally looked at every available place within a 15 mile radius, and this is the best place. Although it doesn't get us any closer to our nanny, it nearly doubles our living space, for just a little more each month. Now we can have people over and not feel like we're sitting on top of one another. We'll be moving April 1st. I'm ready. Our place is way too small for us. Our growing babe takes up more room than we thought.
And with that, I'm outta here.
P.S.
I'm secretly hoping Pittsburgh wins tomorrow. (Don't tell the Mr.) ;)

Week(end) Update
This week flew by, I think it was because I knew I'd be getting paid on Friday (for the first time in a very long time). I'm starting to really like my job. Friday rolled around and 2 people were out of the office so it was mainly myself and 2 others, we hung out, working, chatting and listening to the radio. When lunch rolled around I told them that they needed to think of me and not talk to each other in Spanish the whole time, like usual, and they did! Finally I felt included! I got lots of work done, and when 430 rolled around, I flew out the door, down I4 and got to the nanny's to pick up my little one. (Who, by the way is 3 months old today!!)
Saturday we got up and moving around 9ish, and were out the door by 10. We spent the day apartment hunting. We visited 4 or 5 different communities, and didn't really have much luck. See, in the past we have really just checked out one place and moved in. This time we want to take our time and find the perfect place for us. Our current place is way too small, and we'd like to have a lot more space, for one, so A can have her own room, and two, so we can have people over and not feel like we're sitting on top of one another. We saw two that we really liked, but we made too much money to live in one, and the other was too small, it was gorgeous and in the perfect location, but not for us. So, we'll continue the search next weekend. (I also didn't feel like working at my second job so I called around and got someone to work for me ;) ) I spent the rest of the day cleaning instead of working!
We ended the night renting The Social Network, drinking a few and passing out. To be honest, I went to bed about half way though the movie, so I finished it this morning. ;)
Today consisted of lounging around and not doing much. Baby A has been a grump all day, so I'm glad it's almost over. I finished up laundry and we went for a walk (it was a gorgeous day) and that was pretty much it. Exciting huh?

Memories
Here I sit, on a Friday night, on my couch. It's 1030 and we just put the little one to bed.
I cried a little tonight.
The Mr. and I talked about the day babe was born. He told me things he remembered, and I told him things I remembered.
My heart melted. Although I don't remember all the details, I remember whats important. And you know what, I have a few regrets. Surprisingly, I regret not having a mirror so I could watch her enter the world. I thought I didn't want to see that, but now I wish I had.
I've said numerous times she will be our only, that I'd never do it again. That's a lie. I loved being pregnant, I loved the experience of her delivery (minus the pain ((that I don't remember)) ) To be quiet honest, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. The tough times only last a few months, then it's on to the fun stuff.
I just wanted to fill you all in on my Friday night. It used to consist of bars and booze, and while booze may still be included, times have definitely changed. For the better.
(Batman is also on in the background so I'm sorry if I jumped around) :)
