aftermath

[mellybrelly]

The weekend was a really good one! Well, despite the high fever, sore throat and illness I had, the rest was good. The baby slept well in his crib last night, curled up beside me. I like the setup. Even if he ends up in my bed, I don't worry about him rolling off the edge in the night.

I'm not sure if anyone else has this same insanity as me, but when I'm sick I suddenly feel overwhelming urges to clean. Like the instant I feel slightly better I have to go do jobs. The other day it was to clean out our closet of stuff, organize Reagan's closet, etc, plus cook and make the kids food and things like that. Then I hit a wall and was worse than before. Well, today I decided I needed to sweep.. desperately. Then all the chairs had to be moved, oh and then I noticed the chair rails were dusty, and wait, it's been a while since I moved all the couches, and the end tables. On and on, I stopped myself though, before I washed the floor. Not THAT desperate. Apparently we had a balloon hiding place behind one of the couches, there were three balloons that Reagan got weeks ago, back there, still full of air. I killed them all.

Tim is out doing some errands, I got him to buy me some brewer's yeast so I can make some lactation cookies.

Just talked to my mom, they are doing their Thanksgiving dinner tonight, except she's making ham instead of turkey. Silliness. Who would skip a chance to eat turkey???

We did ours last night with Reagan, I made cornish game hens with stuffing, dairy free mashed potatoes with chicken broth, asparagus and carrots:


Reagan was VERY excited about a whole bird to herself:


Reagan set up the table with candles and things and made a Canadian thanksgiving flag :P


Paxton chilled in his Canadian duds:


Till he heard he wasn't getting his own bird


So he got milk drunk and passed out

Mmmm. Now I want a Cornish game hen for dinner.

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

We had the leftover one for dinner, with lots of stuffing.. and I ate stuffing for lunch too. Now all I need are nanaimo bars and my gluttony will be fulfilled.

1. I tend to get into cleaning sprees JUST before getting sick. It's like I know I'm gonna be out of commission for a while and get stuff done. Used to be the same thing before my period, too, I'd get all super productive and paint a room in an hour and a half (really did this).

2. Regan's hair is gorgeous, holy cow. I wish mine had been that tamely curly when I was younger. I looked like a hot mess cause no one had any clue what to do with my hair.

3. Paxton's gettin big!

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

1) much smarter than me

2) I love her hair, but it takes work. Her mom doesn't do it all week, so it's a frizz ball when she gets here on Friday. Better than it used to be, when she didn't have any baths during the week. Now she has one on Thursday so her hair gets combed out once. We get her to shower every day on the weekend, she conditions it well and then combs it out and we put product in it to make the curls behave!

3) He is! He's still only about 9.5 lbs, but he's grown so much from his little 6lb 10 oz self we brought home!

Paxton is as cute as ever, btw!

Isn't she striking? She's pretty cute.

Thank you!

I've been meaning to ask... from which parent does Regan get her crazy curly beautiful white-blond hair?

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

She actually gets it from Tim! He had really curly hair but keeps it super short, and he was blond when he was young. Reagan might stay blond though, cause her mom is blond too, although not as white blond as Reagan.

She had black hair like Paxton when she was born, and then it came in blond and curly. I'm still hopefully I might see curls on my baby's head.

My sister also had the black hair that came in white blond later.
