Hi everyone....unfortunately when I decided it was time to upload photos from our trip so far I realized I forgot the plug to do it. SO.....photos won't be uploaded to the blog until I get settled after we return April 6th.....bummer.
We've been to the pool 2 times, for the entire day, and we've just been here three days. The girl just doesn't ever slow down! She's having a blast and that alone is a blast for me to see.
She did develop some allergies which put her in a funk yesterday...she slept alot, which was fine for me! But she's quickly rebounding.
We're walking, swimming, eating, playing and having all kinds of Florida fun. Next week is the beach....I can't wait!

Heading back to Florida.
My previous entry listed me as "deflated". What better way to "inflate" than to go to Florida for some R&R with Nana and Papa? Madeline and I are saying good bye to Minnesota for 2 weeks and heading south. It's bittersweet in that John is staying home. Madeline and I will miss our dada!
Madeline will have an opportunity to hit the beach, as seen below from our trip in December, and also go to the pool every day if she wants! I can't wait!
We leave Wednesday. My next post will be from the sunshine state! Talk to you later!

Deflated.
Ray Charles or Corey Hart? (For those of you who are not 80's buffs...Corey Hart sang the song, I wear my sunglasses at night)
As you know, we're expecting baby #2 this fall and that will put Madeline at 2 years old and one month if baby comes on time October 1. This makes me nervous. Madeline is a handful all on her own, so let's just add an infant to the mix. Years from now I'll know it's the best decision we made having them so close, but I keep hearing from other mom's that it's TOUGH, HARD, STRESSFUL, TIRING for at least the first 1 or 2 years. Wow. I'm not scared at all.
Recently though, I feel deflated. The joy of pregnancy has been anything but. I'm queasy most hours of the day and tired everywhere in between. It's as though Madeline knows how much mommy wants to sleep because she sleeps less. Naps that used to be very routine and about 2 hours are not routine and an hour if I'm lucky, that doesn't include the hour she takes to fall asleep. And at night.....she goes down fine, but an hour later she's up.....she'll go down fine again, but at 3, 4 and 5am she simply doesn't want to be sleeping in her crib. She'd rather be in our arms rocking the night away. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! We're working through this little hiccup in our routine, and some nights are better than others. But at the end of the day, or the start of the day, when she wakes up smiling it makes it all okay....that and photo ops like these.
Happy Spring!

Our Little Leprechaun.
Out for a walk this morning wearing green! And....her beads. We rarely go anywhere without them these days.
I will be trying my hand at a Corned Beef today so we can make Ruben's tonight! YUM YUM!
I hope you'll have a beer for me, if everyone that reads this has a beer for me, I'll be nice and toasted :-)
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!
