I find that during the day, while I have a baby sleeping in my arms and I'm stuck in a chair, I've got time to think about things. Random things. Like...
Why is my Kindle all the way across the room right now?
Why are dog toys and baby toys basically the same thing? I have a hell of a time keeping Cooper away from Ella's toys--we have a favorite little elephant that rattles and crinkles that now has telltale signs of Cooper's presence on one arm. And tummy time on her little playmat that squeaks and crinkles like a dog toy is basically Cooper's idea of HIS play time.
How do babies know the EXACT moment when food is ready/delivered to your table? And then choose that moment to cry? Every.Single.Time.
I like going to my OB and seeing couples who obviously just found out they're pregnant, or just had their 20 week ultrasound. Makes me so happy for them, and brings me back to those moments for us.
Why, when Ella gets a hold of my hair, could she not just wrap those little fingers around the gray strands instead of my brown ones?
Why is it that any time I go on Amazon I can find $50+ worth of things that I want/need, and on Prime day it was like crickets for me? I'm probably the only one who had that problem (and perhaps it was because my attention was divided while scrolling through).
I had a dude literally let a swinging door slam back in my face while I was holding Ella in my arms. I was shocked, but luckily my reflexes were fast enough to avoid a collision, and then I did not hold back on my "Thanks a lot" comment to him to which he was like "Oh I didn't see you"--oh yeah? you didn't hear the crying baby right behind you?? Jerk. Why don't people hold the doors for people anymore, especially women with babies/strollers?
It's hard for me to believe that a year ago we were in Greece. Man that was the best trip! Now I'm drooling over Christy's pictures of Croatia and dreaming of getting there one day!
I hate the sizing on diapers because they aren't reliable (like the sizing on clothes too). I just got a box of size 1s that had 200 something diapers ($40 something) because it said it went from 8-14 pounds or something and Ella is in the mid 10 lb range. Guess who doesn't fit in them anymore after going through about 40 of the diapers and having a handful of blowouts or close to? I wish someone made a diaper exchange or something for half used boxes because this is such a waste!
Our neighbor's house is for sale and we are really hoping a nice couple with young kids moves in. Hopefully anything will be better than the older couple who had both of their 20/30something kids and spouses living with them.
What random things are floating around your head lately?
I have pretty much experienced each of these brain floaties in the recent past!!! And amen about the diapers-- huggies are definitely roomier than pampers-- all size 1's are not created equal!! XOXO, R
ReplyDeleteWe were the same way on prime day...nothing unneeded for the house was listed. Bummer
ReplyDeleteAnd diapers, just continue to use them but change her more often. Or, try and get lucky with a local mama and swap or sell. I'm trying to think of where up by you is a swap, and the only thing I can think of is the MRTT group.
Love the new design!! Ella looks so cute doing tummy time. I'm sure lil Coop is confused which toys are his or baby's. What an A-hole of a guy for not holding the door for you especially holding a baby! Hope the rest of your week brings brighter things Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
ReplyDeleteI love going to the OB's office and seeing pregnant women too for that very same reason! I am always so happy for them and it gives me a slight yearning for another. That only lasts a short while though! haha What a mean guy to not hold the door, glad you said something! I feel like it's amazing how much more we speak up about everything once we become a mom.
ReplyDeleteLol I was looking at some of the toys that we've gotten for the baby so far, and I just keeping thinking about how the pups are going to snag them right away!
ReplyDeletePrime Day was like that for me too. But not Nordstrom today! I cannot believe that guy did not hold the door for you! How rude!
ReplyDeleteoh i hope you get fun new neighbours! our last house had the house next door for sale for ages and when someone finally moved in it was a bunch of young men. thankfully we were moving by then haha. prime day sucked for me! so lame!
ReplyDeleteHow has Cooper been doing since Ella has been born? Any jealousy?
ReplyDeleteI hated the diaper sizing. We still deal with it in pull-ups. We had major blowouts and knew it was time to up our size. What a jerk that man was. Ugh. People. My dog likes my girls' toys too.
ReplyDeleteOur cat is the same way with E's toys, he wants all of them haha!
ReplyDeleteI never thought of that about baby and pet toys - they really are almost the same thing! I would love to visit Greece one day - what a beautiful photo :)

Girl, I swear every single night when we sit down for dinner Vivi knows and immediately begins screaming. It's like clock work. Also, the diaper situation is so true! We got literally hundreds of size 1 diapers from my co-workers and they were from the hospital store so they couldn't be returned. Well we are still squeezing her in them because I didn't want to give them away or waste them because= money! She definitely needs to be in size 2 now but we are still trying to go through some more size 1's haha #badmom
ReplyDeleteI agree with so many of your points. But the weirdest one is that we are in the same boat with our neighbor's house. Renters just moved out and the house is for sale. But the renters were older adults and their older adult kids living together. So weird!
