Halloween (part 2) Not so Happy.

I was going to blog and post about how cute Lilly was on Halloween night, all dressed in her costume and pretending to trick or treat, but that didn't happen.

Lilly got a bad case of the tummy bug I'm pretty sure (it's been going on for a week now) and it's finally starting to ease up. Yes people, I'm talking the big "D" and it getting everywhere, constantly, non-stop, on my floor, clothes, etc.
We proceeded in taking lots of baths, doing lots of laundry and well, going through a lot of diapers. This is a time when I'm glad I don't cloth diaper. (Although I still wish I did.)
At one point, I even put two diapers on my child. Yes. I actually did it. It did help.





Other than the Shitsplosion 2011 (that's what I'm calling this past week) things have been going decent. Mommy & baby play dates, more cleaning around the house. Some daddy time. Blah blah.
The usual stay at home mom stuff, ya know? Not sleeping. Rare breaks. Coffee. Coffee. COFFEE.

Here is something I can talk about though, and it's a bit winey. But hey, it's my blog.
Lately i've been taking out frustration on the fact that my husband works mostly nights. He usually goes in at 3 pm and gets home around midnight. Life of a chef. Life of a chef's wife, completely alone at night for dinner and going to bed. Putting Lilly in the bath, bed, etc. It's not his fault, and I'm so glad I can call my husband a Chef. I'm really proud of him, it's just that all my friends's husbands go to work early, they do their mommy/wife stuff, cook dinner for the hubby to come home too. And when everyone goes home to their wives, my husband is leaving me alone to eat ramen by the tv again.
We try to treat lunch as (family dinner) but it's still just not the same. I want to watch our shows together. I just want him in the living room with me. But oh well. It's something I'm going to have to really get used to, because all in all he IS a Chef, he makes delicious dinner for other people. He brings in the bacon and I guess I'm ok with that, I'm just bitching about being lonely.
But, I am very thankful for the days we get to spend together, walking around target, grabbing lunch, etc. See? I guess its all ok. I'm just winey.




As for Lilly, she's still not crawling. Walking around in her walker ripping books of my shelf, throwing things in the toilet, and opening cabinets. But not crawling. She can pretty much stand on her own though for a long time. Insane. She might also be teething again (NOOOOOOOO) but her bottom chompers have sure grown in nicely. :)

(sorta my new favorite picture of us, Lilly asleep, something that is so rare.)

A quick update (mostly photos):

The past week we've been busy busy busy.
We've been spending time at home mostly, and having our mama & baby friends over.
Our mornings are spent watching Yo Gabba Gabba, and playing with our kitters.

(seriously..)

(Obi is a boy, I promise.)

While at home we do the normal. Laundry, cleaning, eating, sleeping, and playing.

(Laundry helper.) 

(Optimus Prime & a very unhappy Lilly.)

(My beautiful vacuum that hubby bought me! YAY!)

(Snuggly bunny, baby bunny, and bunny blanket.)

This mama also went to Taylor Swift last night with one of my best friends.

It was my very first time to be away from Lillian for more than 2 hours, and not see her off to bed.

I about almost died, but I made it through and had a great time! 

(I actually put make up on, put my hair down, and well, I wore jeans. Not yoga pants or a skirt.)

(TAYLOR IS OUR BEST FIEND!)

 Hubby has been busy as usual, working and working. He did a really big catering last week and it had over 4,000 people attending. I didn't go, but of course the food looked amazing. I'm so proud of him and his awesomeness at making food taste and look beautiful.
(My body hates him though. Go. Away. Baby. Weight. + Chef. Wife. Weight.) Ugh.

(Freaking amazing.)

And that's about all I have for this post.
My baby sister (one out of three) is in town from Baylor and I'm so excited to see her!
Too bad she leaves like, tomorrow and only got here Thursday. Lame.
xoxo!
