Girl Talk Thursday-Booze

Posted on by

Mommy Melee started Girl Talk Thursday. Go show her some love and check out Mr. Linky.

Booze, booze and more booze is the topic this week.

I am not a big drinker, that isn’t to say that I don’t drink.  Oh how I love me some vodka with cranberry and lemon drops and a few others that I’m too sober to name right now.  I’ve had a glass of wine or two that I really enjoyed.  However I hate beer, I haven’t found one that I want to take more then a sip of.

I don’t like to drink hard stuff at home, I prefer a half empty bar (I don’t like big crowds).  At home I can never get the drinks to taste right.  We have wine at the house every once in a while but I’d rather have wine at a restaurant.  I’m just weird like that.

Since I’ve been pregnant and am now breastfeeding I haven’t had any booze in over a year.  Alcohol has never been that important to me.  I didn’t have my first taste till after my 21st birthday and wouldn’t know that I like vodka with cranberry if it weren’t for my buddy Jack.

Jack lived in my spare room for a while and we would go downtown during the week when his favorite bar was nice and quiet.  We’d have a drink or 12, play some pool and chat with the regulars.  It was fun.  Once Jack moved out I didn’t have a desire to keep going out on my own, that seemed like it would be no fun.  Besides who was going to make sure I got home safely and watch Eurotrip with me for the 150th time.  We have watched that movie so many times we know just were to fast forward because those parts just aren’t funny enough.

Today Lily turns 23 weeks old. (pretend I’m on time and today is Monday 6-1-09)

We are trying to wean her from the swaddle and its very slow going, but I think we can safely say that she can sleep with one arm out. In the next day or two we will start leaving both arms out. It seems silly to still do the swaddle for just her legs since it seems like the arms are more important but I think its part of our routine and that after we get the two arms free down then we can get rid of it all together. I’m sad to see it going. She likes it, I like it. But its getting hot here, well as hot as Montana gets in the spring. But I want to have her all done before Summer.

We got some really good news today. Her chromosome study came back perfect. (The doctor is still trying to find out why her head is shaped differently) We go see the genetics specialists in July and they will tell us what we need to do next.

The watermelon outfit is one of the first things I’ve had to buy her. All of her other clothes were either from her baby shower or hand me downs. We had a diaper accident so pictures of this outfit to come in some later post.

I think she is teething and I wish the little buggers would break through already. She’s grumpy off and on all day, has her hands in her mouth all the time, and has a little rash on her chin. Honestly I’m hoping she’s teething because that would explain the grumpy. If she’s not then I’m at a loss.

My Baby’s mind Monday

My friend Tatiana over at It was a Very Good Year started this meme. Each Monday you look inside your baby’s mind and let us know what you find. Be sure to go show her some love.

This week I was inspired by this picture.
I'm growing

Dear Mama,

Please take a good long look at the above picture and notice something.  I am now standing (with Daddy’s help, thank you Daddy) and the top of my head is over the dowel in my growth chart.  Please remember that on my 5 month birthday (10 days ago) I didn’t even come up to the bottom of the chart.  I may not have gained much weight this week, but I gained height.  Now go tell the doctor (whom I normally really like, she’s very nice) to stuff it.  I’m fine.  I’m petite and I like it that way.

I mean think about it.  I can still wear some of my newborn size clothes.  And you know how cute some of those are so that’s a good thing.  You’re getting your moneys worth out of those clothes, unlike some Mommy’s who get to dress their babies in something once and then they outgrow it.  You’re lucky.

I have included the picture from my 5 month birthday for easy comparison.

Love,

Lily

p.s.  Just like you I look really good in dark pink.

Cute factor

Waldo randomly wrote on our shopping list the other day “Lily: cute factor 10 to the 10th power”.  I thought that was really cute.

Lily and Jingle

I felt like there was a serous lack of Lily pictures lately.
