She is a Miss alright.. A little spitfire...oh and a big flirt too. Mikaela now weighs 17lbs 12oz and 27.5 inches long. 40% for weight and 90% height.. However that's all relative when she hits one. Which is in ....2 months :(''''''''' I cannot believe it one already. I just went though all that effort to get her here and now it has been almost a year. I seriously want to relive it again. Yes, you heard me, I would relive every moment again, no matter how much it hurt. They say you forget. I haven't! I have yet to get in my whirlpool tub since that day. For some reason it brings me back to the uncomfortable pressure that got me to finally call my midwife. ( I have to call right away next time) Ya know how you avoid things with a bad memory. Well this is not a bad memory but it just brings me back and that wasn't a good feeling at that moment in time. I will get over it. I did with the hallway. I paced so long in that upstairs hallway alone with my two cats and of course my baby girl. When we came home I never stood in the hallway too long or sat on the futon to long either.
Any hoo back to life.....
Mikaela is 10 months This coming Sunday....WOW!!!!! She is the best thing ever. Matty and I are so outrageously happy. Out of everything I have done in the world I never felt like I was in my thing. Well, being a mommy is!!! I found my niche!!!
House news:
Matty is slowly finishing up the mudroom. It really needs to get finished. Little Miss is picking at the plaster on the walls. We are just about done with the rearrange in the living room.. Our new couches come in Friday. I just need to finish painting. Once that is all set and I get going on my projects for grad school we can complete the playroom.
For those of you who know our home. Where my computer was the room with a door or window on each wall and the stairs too. Well that room is empty. Matty is completing the trim around everything. Making sure there is no lead paint if there was. I have to repaint everything even though when I was nesting I painted that room and ripped off the trim when I was told to just be pregnant. ;) We are than going too re steam clean the carpet cover with a vapor barrier and nail it under the baseboard. Than we are going to lay the soft foam tiles over. So it is a soft place for play and When Mikaela Spits up or spills something it doesn't leak through the crack in the soft tiles. It will also make it a great room for painting and our large chalkboard. One of the walls we are paint with chalkboard paint. The rest of the room will be a cookie crumble color. (Tan) The color will be her toys and a little in the curtains and the soft tiles. I also think I am going to have a pop art photo of Miss Mikaela in there for wall decor. That will be way cool once that is done.
SO glad we have a playroom for her. I have it all gated off. So now when she is mobile I can put her in her playroom( more or less a giant play pen) make lunch, get the phone or change the laundry over with out have to bring her up and down the stairs 50 times. She is safe in her little room
