Quick Takes

Yes, I know it's Saturday... :)  Here we go...


1.  Some days I think things are getting better, then other days they appear to be getting worse.  Much, much worse.  I honestly don't have the energy to explain everything that has happened as far as me seeing a counselor, a doctor, and my midwife over the past few weeks in order to get to the root and fix my anxiety.  Let's just say counseling is going well, my doctor was a joke, and my midwife is amazing!  I am now on B12 shots (daily for now, then lowering) and have an appointment with a doctor on Wednesday who comes highly recommended from my midwife (it's her doctor).  I am praying he has answers for me.

2.  I'm throwing a baby shower early next month for my youngest sister who is having a little boy in October.  I'm broke and have very little time.  Anyone have any suggestion for inexpensive and easy baby shower type things?  I want it to be nice but I can't go into debt over it and I'm really, really lacking in extra hours in each day.

3.   My sweet Mary-Grace has definitely entered the toddler phase.   With that comes tantrums, lots and lots of tantrums.  I love this kid but man is she dancing on my last nerve.  Her new favorite thing is to throw things.  Unfortunately somethings these things land on her little sisters head.

4.  I have lived in Florida my whole life but I can no longer take the heat and humidity.  It is seriously like a freaking sauna outside.  I hate to even walk to the mailbox.  I'm ready to move.

5.  I think Hannah may be an early crawler.  At 4 1/2 months she is able to scoot on her belly all over the place.  Cracks me up.  I think she's trying to keep up with her big sister.

6.  Mary-Grace finished up swim lessons last week.  She definitely can't swim on her own yet but she is doing amazing and K learned all the tools to keep teaching her.  Living in Florida, knowing how to swim is not an option.

7.  Last night a good friend of mine from high school came over with her fiance for dinner.  She live about an hour away so we rarely see each other anymore.  It was so nice and just what I needed.  And she brought wine and chocolate.  I love her.  :)  I made this as one of our sides.  SO GOOD!  I plan on adding a little mozzarella and maybe some basil for lunch one day this week.  YUM!!!
