Day 5

November 5th: I am thankful for Fatima Ortega.

I woke up not feeling all that great this morning. Because I have a coworker who is very susceptible to illnesses right now, I stayed home while hoping that it would not turn into anything. I am finding that I am sleeping less. After I get home from work, I want to spend time with Olivia instead of taking a nap or cleaning; even if that means just watching her sleep. Then I want to blog to get things off my mind, and then I have to pump as much as I can before I can think about laying down.... Yup, there are not enough hours in the day.

My dear friend Fatima flew into Spokane today just to have lunch with me! She works for Alaska Airlines and gets to fly on standby but I still feel very special that she came :D We went to have coffee, then lunch at Tomato Street, and then back to the airport she went! It was so wonderful to be able to catch up with her. We are a lot alike in many ways. She is one of those friends that we can go months without seeing each other and then when we meet back up it is as if hardly any time has passed. We spent the few hours we had together reminiscing about old memories from college and catching each other up on the last several months. I felt especially special because she is leaving on a trip tomorrow and her flight is at 8:30ish tomorrow morning. It was a great day for her to come as it was not raining today. 

Olivia was wonderful. She slept through most of coffee and then starred at Fatima and was all smiles through lunch. When we got home, we finally went out and got Mike's hair cut! I have been complaining about it for a long time now. Then when we got home from that, I played with Olivia for a while on the floor before doing some work.

We would love some prayer as Mike continues to look for a new job and we try to figure out what to do when we are both working normal daytime hours and only have one car. I did not think I would be so stressed out about it, but it is really hitting me this evening. It could be that I am just really tired. Let's just say that Pumpkin is going to have to be mommy's snuggle buddy tonight. 

I know that I will probably be writing a long blog tomorrow but I just have to acknowledge that our Pumpkin is going to be two months tomorrow. She is sitting here on my lap while I type this. I am hoping that when she wakes up tomorrow that she will start to giggle. That I cannot wait for! Her little arms and legs are getting chunky, I think that means that she is going to hit a growth spurt soon (or is in the middle of on)! 

Morning storytime <3


Our goofy Goober!




Such a big girl already!


Still working to get rid of that thrush

We are getting more used to having spit-up EVERYWHERE! We were really grossed out when it used to happen. I had to have Mike get me a towel as she just spit-up and my reaction, "oh well, I can washing my pants again." I now understand why babies need so many outfits!
