Tired Papa

Well we just had our last Social Worker visit for Sabrina. Now we just need to get to our court date in November and she's ours. We'll she is ours still but it will be official. We cannot wait, plus no more months of handing someone a huge check. Well not until we start the stuff for #2. We were so happy with our social worker, she was so gay friendly and today said she usually does not do anything in her paperwork but say yes or no this child is good in this home but for us she was writing up a recommendation on the fact that she thought Sabrina was doing so great and it seems we have done everything with her so well.
I cannot even believe to tell the barriers we had to get through, and to hear her say that was like "WHA!!" Bobby was so nervous in the beginning that I constantly got annoyed with him and took over duties with Sabrina that were his. He just always seemed like he thought he'd break her if he looked at her the wrong way, took me a while but i broke him of that, babies are far more flexible and resilient than most people think.
Well I hope we do a second, I'll be VERY happy if we do. If we do we will not start that process until around February of Next year, so might have a second my April or May 2011. I didn't really want to be 45 or 46 with a new born, but if I can do this I'll be fine. I have been up since 3:15am, I need sleep.

I Thought This Rather Hilarious

We were talking about the 19.2 # baby that was recently born and I made a joke you could eat that big plump baby and someone found this Sears add online. I thought it was A W E S O M E !

WOW! I fell off the blogging pole again

Ok, Many a night I come in here, open up this compose a new blog window, have TONS of things on my mind to say, but never get around to it. So, I'm just gonna make a short post right now, and I'll try to do another later today.

Today we are going to Tricia's for a piggy's and paws party ( http://www.piggiesandpaws.com ) This is a really cool concept, Lily has one of her foot and it's a mermaid, and Zachary has one of his foot that is a ship. Tricia wants to get one for Sabrina as a gift, I think since her room is mostly butterflies that would be a good choice.

I am going to head to the gym, do a quick chest workout ( I am trying very hard to get myself BACK into the groove of working out at the very least 3 days a week, but have been going 5 so far). I need to drops some l, b's. Get it lbs. HA. That's from a famous Bobby story. We have friends coming over tomorrow for lunch so we have a TON of cleaning to do today so to the party and back home.

Day Care started today

Well next week I start back to work and I've been wanting to put Sabrina in daycare for the past 2 weeks but something kept coming up. Everyone kept asking me did I want to put her in early to get her used to it, and I keep saying are you kidding, it's for me. I have spent most of my waking days with her since April 22nd and I just do not know how I am going to go to work, CONCENTRATE on work, and actually WORK. She was there for a long 5 hours which seemed like a long time, I went to the gym to get her off my mind, worked, till I left, then started worrying, so rushed home took a shower and we ran to get her. Man, for the first hour home she seemed like she did not know us or was mad at us, I felt so bad, but kept thinking sorry kid, get used to it. I wish it could be different but until we pay you off (HA) gotta work baby girl. BOO HOO. This is going to be a long long week. I am so worried about going back to work, I have missed so much and our dept procedures have changed a bit, I tried to keep up by going through emails, but then got lost and who knows what's going on, once again, oh well. I hope I can figure it out when I get back. I have this fear i'll get back then they will lay me off, since they have been laying people off these days.

Our girl is getting so big, but she is exhibiting the signs of teething and I'm not so happy at that. At 14 weeks, NOT fun.
She'll be walking early too no doubt at this rate. Geez. I need a drink, I wish, gotta watch my calorie intake. I have been sleeping horribly the past week. I have been having the most realistic dreams that just leave me tired when I wake up, I'm always helping to fight some evil, or save people from something bad and who knows what other kinda crap. When I first wake up I think what the hell! Then the whole dream just pops out of my head. I have been able to remember ALL of my dreams for most of my life, but these dreams lately, nope. Just interesting, I wish I could remember, I can't figure why they leave my so tired, but at night I STILL cannot fall asleep. We will see if starting back at the gym will make me tired, I was earlier, but I have been watching Unwrapped on foodnetwork and i'm just a bit too into it. I need to turn it off and try to hit the hay, which, I think I'll do.

Nite,
G....

Long Week

Well last week was my first week actually off work. It was nice to be able to spend some real time with Sabrina, but it was also annoying. She is at a stage where she does not nap as often as she used to. She has been sleeping pretty good throughout the night for the most part. She had a rough day or two and last night she would not fall asleep despite only sleeping about 5 hours the whole day. She is a lil busy body, I think she likes to see whats going on, also when she is tired she is fighting sleep and does not like it if you try and put her down for a nap. She either wants you to carry her or she'll scream non stop. That was the not so fun part. It was reeking havoc on my back and she does really great in her rocker with the baby einstein videos, but if she is cranky that will not work, you have to walk her and tire her out then put the video in still holding her and moving back and forth, letting her see it the whole time then she gets really into it and you can slip her into the chair. The bad part is if you take her out too early she wakes back up and stays up, so you have to let her stay in the rocker asleep for almost an hour and sometimes over. Then if you put her in her crib she'll sleep a good hour to 3 hours depending on her mood.

It has been SO great watching her develop. Her eyes moving back and forth, she is so aware like I said watching those baby Einstein videos is the BEST. She totally gets into them, she also loves to be read to or for you to tell her a story since her Daddy makes up stories. She is almost at a point where she can roll over, that is going to be scary. I am now thinking about making a series of stories just for her using her name and I guess her as the main character. Kind of like those personalized stories you can buy with your kids name. Maybe that will be another project to keep me out of trouble. We will see how that goes I don't finish much of anything.

I have to admit I cannot WAIT to get back to work. Besides the fact that we got a new boss I met him ONCE, not good, but I miss working. My brain is not cut out to do nothing. I noticed one of the things I hear from Mothers all the time is that they love the times when they can talk to another adult. I noticed even when I was working I only talked to work via IM so no real conversation. I don't really talk baby talk to Sabrina, I feel like it's belittling . Well I do say some cutey things.
