"Little" Updates

It is been a while again since my last post. But to my excuse I've been extremely busy at work and at home. I started reading the blogs that I follow first and then time just flies and I don't have time to jot my thoughts down in my own blog.

So, here are some of the updates from last time:
1. Ariela went to her first kid's birthday party. One kid was sick and started an epidemic. Miss A had a fever for 4 days. Mr. V and my mom took her to a doctor (our pediatrician wasn't available). The doc examined her and wasn't happy that we decided to bring her in, since she was "fine". I wanted to punch him after I heard it. I am paying a lot of money for insurance and I have every right to bring my daughter in if I think she is not feeling well, especially for 4 days. Anyways, the fever stopped and she had a rash after. Apparently, my baby had roseola, which is pretty common in kids. But come on, she was only 7.5 months. She is too little to be sick.
2. I am slowly getting into a routine. I know, it took me a while! Miss A has been going to bed around 9-9:30. It is still late for a baby but it is so much better then her 12-12:30 time. I wash the bottles, prepare lunches for next day, pump, sometimes watch a movie with hubby, and go to sleep.
3. Miss A is getting used to sleeping in our bed. It is sooo not something I wanted but what can you do? She sleeps for about 2 hours and then start to scream around 11-12am (sometimes 2am) and it is easier for us to let her sleep with us then get up every 30 minutes to soothe her and help her fall back asleep.
4. Work has been crazy. Too many changes and too much expectations. I am so over this job. I wish I could just win the lottery and quit.
5. I've lost all of my pregnancy pounds and maybe even more. But I still have a baby belly which doesn't go away. It is absolutely driving me insane. It is not fat. It is the skin that stretched out for 9 months. It probably won't go away on its own, so I should really stop complaining and start doing some exercises.
6. I feel better about my body, even though I still can't wear tight tops (see #5). I fit into my jeans and pants and some of them are even big on me.
7. I still continue to pump. I didn't expect to last that long but it is part of my routine already and I can't even imagine my day without my black little bag with pump. It is my tail that follows me around everywhere I go.

I'll do a little update on Miss A in a different post.
