Day 24

November 24th: I am thankful for a working car.

When I got in our Subaru today to take it to my work and to empty it out, the check engine light came on and the car was shaking. Very thankful that we were able to get a second car this past weekend so that we at least still have one running car. We are taking it in to the shop on Wednesday to see what is wrong with it. We are already planning on driving the Kia over the pass; not ideal but it is better than not going.

Olivia has been doing this thing where she sucks in her bottom lip and just holds it :) I tried to snag a picture of it but she is too fast! Maybe tomorrow. She really is a trooper as she travels with me everywhere. We do know that it is not good for her to be out all day and that there is a need to get her on a regular napping schedule. Hopefully we will get things figured out.

When I  was pregnant, I was told that pregnant women often get very nice healthy hair. And it became true for me! My hair stopped falling out, got thicker, and did have a little more of a shine. I also heard that once I started breastfeeding it would all stop. Well, two days ago I started to lose my hair again in clumps :'( Sad day! It was nice while it lasted. 

I didn't want to turn the light on to take a picture

I know it is dark, but if you hold it right, you can see baby girl sleeping.

As I was working today and reading applications, I noticed that some students had siblings who were about a year older or younger than they were. It made me think about our situation and in order to make that happen, we would have to get pregnant again right about now... NO THANK YOU! Yes, we do want more children but would prefer for Olivia to be out of diapers first.

It is crazy to think that Thanksgiving is already almost here! Maybe just a light dinner this year. I was 160lbs on December 16th, 2013 when I found out that I was pregnant. I am trying to get as close to that pre-pregnancy weight as I can before the one year mark. I am getting close! 

Off to sleep as i need to get up at 5 to read some more applications.
