Stressed

Once again I've been a really bad blogger. I'm sorry everybody but I have an excuse. Work has been really stressful lately, I have more work (which isn't a bad thing in times like this) then I have time to do it. We close on the new house on December 19!!!!! So for the last week I've been on the phone with the mortgage company, insurance, utilities, and the builder. Miley also spiked a very high temperature of 102.7 last Thursday so we rushed her to the doctor. She has an ear infection again but is doing SO much better. She even slept through the night last night for the first time in 2 weeks. Christmas is also fastly approahing so we're trying to shop on a tight budget. Everything we own minus 2 bowls, plates, cups, and 1 week of clothing is packed in boxes. I've been laying in bed at night thinking about all the things we have to do and how I really need to blog something so everyone knows we're alive.

So anyway, last week at the doctor's appointment Miley weighed 21 lbs 4 oz, that's almost a pound in 4 weeks!!! I think she may have had too much turkey or Christmas tree cakes. Also starting last week, Miley is completely weaned. It was a very tough road but we made it 13.5 months! Sorry but I had to toot my own horn because it wasn't always easy but we did it and I feel very proud and accomplished. If you would have told me 2 years ago that I'd be this excited about breastfeeding, I would have said you're crazy.

In other news, we'll be in the new house next week!!!!! Stephen and I are BEYOND excited. After 5 years of renting, we'll finally have a place we can call ours. We have so many ideas for the new house and just can't wait to move in and get settled. Miley's new room will be Tinkerbell fairies and pigs of coarse. Odd combo I know but the pigs are so cute and the fairies are girly ;) We all are going to love it there, the neighorhood is new and quiet and everyone lives out that way. The only downside is a longer commute but we'll take it. Neither one of us works in areas we would want to live.

Future posts....Miley's going to see Santa Claus. I have no doubt it will not go well so look for that post. Miley will soon be leaving the Birds and moving to the next class up. They sleep in cots! I would love to see how that's going to work.
