Poopy carseats

Well this morning my dear Elsi finally got past her little bout of constipation she had over the weekend. I didn't even realize until I got her out of her carseat at daycare. I unbuttoned her harness and picked her up and went to put her on my hip to walk into daycare when I felt something warm and smooshy on my hand. Yes it is exactly what your thinking...she blew out her diaper and there was POOP Everywhere!!!!! I carried her in...holding her out away from me...and it took myself and Ms. Berta to get it all cleaned up. Her dirty clothes are wrapped up in a Wal-Mart sack and are in the bed of her daddys pick up (Yeah it smelled that bad). I had to have Syd, our warehouse guy, hose out her carseat for me when I got to work. I hope it dries before I have to go get her from daycare today!

Teething

Now whoever said that teething is the worst when they get their first teeth is completely full of it. My Elsi Love is getting her top teeth now (I feel that she is too young to get those already, she is only 9 months). She is getting what seems to be 3 of them. AT ONCE!! She is very restless and uneasy at night. I try the motrin and the orajel and the teething rings (Which she hates) and nothing is working well enough to give us a full nights rest. I haven't had a full nights sleep in almost 4 nights now. I have slept on the couch with her in her swing the past two nights!!! I think she may also be learning to have separation anxiety, because if she wakes up alone in her crib, she screams until the whole house is awake. So the poor thing wakes up so upset and then she starts grabbing whatever she can (usually her poor fuzzy rabbit)and starts biting and pulling on it with her teeth (that poor rabbit isn't going to have any ears soon). She is also grinding her teeth, HARD. It makes my ears bleed just hearing it. I think she is going to break a tooth off doing this. As much as I don't want my beautiful baby to grow up, I am will be so glad when this whole teething thing is over with.

The Zoo Today

Levi, Megan and I took Elsi to the zoo today. We all had fun and I think Elsi enjoyed it, but in a way it's such a waste of money because she could have cared less about the animals. Elsi was to busy watching the people. If that's all she wanted to do, we could have gone to the park for free. Either way though, we had a good time. Elsi rode the carousel and we had lunch at the zoofari cafe. Next time, we will pack a lunch though because the food is way overpriced for what you get. But, Elsi liked it. I shared my chicken strips with her and the french fries.

Zoo Trips are always fun and a nice family outing and I look forward to doing it again, but next time I will wait until its cooler outside and until Elsi is a little older. The poor thing was out cold before we ever left.

Surprise Surprise-talking about Babies

Last night my DH mentioned making a doctors appointment, for ME! He wants to talk to my doctor and discuss having another baby. I am so over the moon excited. He is finally on board with wanting another child. He figures that if we are going to have another that we should have our children close together. We both agreed we wanted to wait until Elsi was at least one, but making an appointment now gives us time to discuss and weigh our options. We or should I say "I" had so many health problems last time that he is a little uneasy about having another child again if it is going to put my health and life in jeapordy. He is really wanting to try for a boy this time. I could really care less what the sex is, but secretly I think I would rather have another girl. I probably shouldn't get ahead of myself here, but I am already thinking of girls names that will go well with Elsi.

Starting out

Well Everyone I know talks about Blogging and I was recently viewing my friend Debis Blog and was inspired to start one of my own. Thanks Deb! I will try to update often and of course my blog will mainly be focused on my journey through new motherhood and of what life is like trying to help raise a teenager. I hope everyone enjoys my blogs and that I do well at this.
