Frantic Cleanup

Ellie's "Margarita"
My Aunt Emily curled my hair
Great Grandpa Stallbaumer on his 81st birthday
Wow, this is, like, WAY too much fun..
I'm not sure I can stand it...
All right, so I'm taking her to the GI on Monday. My friend Annie talked me into it, and said that they probably wouldn't do mean things to my baby, just mess with her meds, which is what I think she needs. She has been so fussy in the evenings lately. Ellie sometimes had this "witching hour" thing, but NOTHING like Kailey. This girl can all out scream. I have discovered that she likes to take a bath. Not just any bath will do, only a whirlpool bath. She can sit in there and chill until the water gets cold. Of course, then I have to sit there too, lest she drown in the giant bathtub. Also, she's been sleeping for 6-7 hours at a stretch in her swing at night. I kinda have mixed feelings about sending my swings back. Yes, I think I would like nice, fancy, expensive swings that work, but I also like that my baby is finally comfortable enough to sleep. But, its gotta be done, so I'll just suck it up and hold her all night, I guess. She doesn't seem to like the bouncy seat as much for sleeping. Not as fluffy and cozy, probably. What can I say, apparently I breed particular princesses.
I have been recently introduced to facebook. That is, as my friend puts it, the ultimate time-waster. It is insane. I lived without this forever, and now I have to check it a hundred times a day to see if anybody is out there, and how many friends I have now. At one point the other night, I realized that the TV was on, but no one was watching. Matt was on his laptop, me on mine, and Emily on my computer, all on facebook! (the girls were asleep, I was not being a bad mother :) This is seriously abnormal.
Ellie went to my parents for a few days, and then is coming back for my brother's graduation and Kailey's baptism. We will have his party here, so I have to get my house in some kind of shape this week. And bake a cake. And buy food. And entertain guests. And keep the baby happy.
I don't think this no caffiene thing is gonna work out after all :)
