Easter pics

I've felt very blah & behind on sleep all week after my bout of food poisoning. I'm hoping this weekend will help me recharge, but last night certainly didn't. The cats woke us up at 3:30 (us being me & the baby, my husband had already been woken up & was downstairs) and Amber woke up again around 5, then again at 6, we went & bugged her daddy around 7:30. She's playing happily downstairs while I try to get some breakfast, pump, etc while listening to her (& now Daddy too...and now TV as well) on the monitor.

Looks like there may be some issues with my layout... dunno what to do, I'll publish & see how it looks & if anyone can help me out, please do!
Update - I changed the layout & this works... I was going to have a couple of the pictures set to the left & right instead of just in a row down the center, but it did weird things & overlapped the pictures.










And a couple collages I made with pictures of the eggs we dyed;

Are there any songs about Tuesdays?

My Swaperoo stuff!




Baby shoes - anyone know more than me about the sizing? I couldn't figure it out before I bought them... now that I have them they say size 1 (what I got) is for 6weeks to three months (which is how old she is now) but she'll be 5 months old when we need these - do I need to exchange for a size 2? They look kinda big to me...



I officially don't like the photo uploader on here... I'm really tired this morning. I think I'll do Easter pics later...

Another promise

For a longer post later. Babysat our friends' daughter tonight so they could go out to celebrate the mom's birthday. :)
Can't get my computer to cooperate & upload the pics, so those'll wait. Got my package from the swap today & had lots of fun goodies! Also got baby shoes in the mail that I hope will fit Amber in May for Paul's cousin's wedding & my sister's graduation.
So, pics of Easter, pics of my swap, pics of baby shoes & the dresses for those events... one I got & one I made. :)
But, once again, it's bedtime! G'night!

Happy Easter - after the fact

Most of our weekend was really nice, but I got quite ill after dinner this evening. I suspect food poisoning, so hopefully I'm over it. Much too late now. night! More later...

Sleepy Good Friday

Amber didn't sleep at all yesterday. She barely dozed for a few little 5min catnaps from before I dropped her off at daycare around 10 to 8:30 or 9 at night when I put her in her swing. She slept 'til 4:45 and then again until 7:30 & is asleep again now. I wonder how she'll do today.
I am going to work, so I better get ready. I'm so tempted to just sit & stare at her sleeping little face. :)

Ups & Downs

The last few days have been full of them. Saturday we didn't do a whole lot. Sunday I went with Amber to a friend's house about an hour away. She slept most of the way there & did fine at the party. It was in celebration of my friend & her husband's first anniversary and the fact that all of her bridesmatrons (incl. me) have had or are having babies. Actually, that includes all of their groomsmen too! The first two bridesmatrons & groomsmen were married couples. Her bro & sister in law & their mutual friends. Paul was an usher & one of her husband's friends was the groomsman that escorted me. He & his wife have four children, their most recent a 7month old daughter. Her brother & sis-in-law just had their second daughter on Amber's due date (i.e. the day before Amber was actually born) but their baby was about a month premature. The other couple are about six months pregnant with a boy (their 1st child)& due on my & Paul's anniversary.


Here we all are with our hostess front & center, not pictured are my husband (not there) & her husband (taking the picture.)

Her older niece was being really cute & reading to Amber;



My friend's younger niece & Amber, with birthdays just one day apart!

The ride home,however, was torturous! Amber screamed the whole way!! I tried talking to her, singing to her, playing music, playing static. I stopped & got her calmed down & she even smiled at me! As soon as we hit the highway again though, she was screaming again.


She was completely worn out when she got home & fell asleep in Daddy's lap!

She is currently being entirely too wiggly while nursing & making this difficult!

Monday/Yesterday started out kinda rough. We got a slow start & she spit up all over my outfit so I had to change & ended up being a half hour late.
At work though, we got all caught up on the E-text & now we're just working to get ahead. :)

Today She actually slept through my whole shower & we're both pretty much ready to go with time to spare! Hopefully this'll continue I'll actually make it to work on time!! *finger's crossed*

Got my Swaperoo package in the mail! I'm pretty happy with how things turned out. :) I hope Melonie is too!
