How far
along? 22 weeks = 6 months
Best moment
this week: CJ and I visited our first day care center this past week. We
visited ‘Your Place to Grow’ in North Cape on Hwy 45 which is conveniently
located on my way to work. We met with one of the directors/teachers who gave
us a tour of the facility and explained their different programs such as the
infant, toddler and 3-5 classrooms. Your Place to Grow is a small daycare but
the teacher seemed nice and I think they would accommodate our needs well. We
are planning to visit at least 1-2 more places before our final decision. My
mom and I also started painting Parker’s room! We would have finished the room
if we hadn’t run out of paint during our second coat on the final wall! Looks
like I will be making a trip to Menards to pick up a spare quart so we can
finish the final wall and the edging. CJ and I also visited with his cousin
Katie and her 1 month old daughter, Peyton! Holding Peyton makes me soo excited
for Parker!
Symptoms: Sciatic
pain in my lower back and pelvic pressure = both are very uncomfortable
New baby
items (purchased or received): Grandma
& Grandpa TT bought CJ and I a Magic Bullet for our 4th
anniversary (modern gift for 4 years). I am also going to say that this is a
new baby item, as I want to try to make baby food using this machine. From what
I have heard it is fairly easy to make your own baby food. Basically you would
take fresh or frozen veggies, boil, mash, freeze in ice cube trays, and then
store in a freezer safe container until ready to use. Once baby is ready to eat
you take a cube of food and microwave it until ready to serve. It sounds pretty
easy and it’s much more cost effective to make it vs buying jars of food.
This week
baby is the size of: Spaghetti Squash
Baby’s
development this week: Lips, eyelids
and eyebrows are more distinct now. Eyes have formed but the irises sill lack
pigment. Tiny tooth buds are even developing under his gums. He should measure to about 11 inches and weigh
about 1 pound <- He’s getting big!
This past
week has been pretty crazy around the Torosian household!
Monday was CJ’s 27th birthday.
For his birthday I made him dinner, bought a mini cake, and then went with him
to bowling.
Tuesday night we watched 2 episodes of the
Homeland season (2).
Wednesday we learned that my uncle (mom’s
brother) lost his battle with melanoma and passed away at the young age of 58.
Thursday night CJ and I viewed our first day care center and stopped over by his
cousin Katie to visit with her and her daughter, Peyton.
Friday morning I
dropped CJ off so he could leave for his Nationals Tournament in Reno, NV. Friday night, I was able to leave work early
to attend my uncle’s funeral. Once I was home from the funeral I started
painting in Parker’s room. A little while later my brother dropped off his
chocolate lab, Moose, for me to watch while they went away for a weekend for a
wrestling tournament.
At 6:30am on
Saturday, Moose and Lacey were wide
awake and ready for the day, which meant that I too had to get up and share
their excitement of being up so early on a Saturday! I did a few things around
the house, then headed back to the funeral home for one last goodbye and a mass
for my uncle. As soon as mass was over I had to head straight to Party Animals
(monthly fun bowling tournament). After taking 2nd place in Party
Animals I came home to continue on with painting and spending time with 2 never
ending energetic dogs!
At 6:30 am
on Sunday, Moose and Lacey were wide
awake and ready to go for the day AGAIN (apparently these dogs have not heard
of sleeping in on weekends!), went for breakfast with my mom and grandma, spent
some more time playing with 2 never ending energetic dogs outside, painted some
more until I ran out of paint, did some deep cleaning in the house (scrubbing
floors, sinks, toilets, windows, vacuumed, and laundry), dropped Moose off at
home, gave Lacey a bath, had dinner with my mom , got ready for Monday and
headed straight to bed (mostly because I was in so much pain with my back I
could no longer move)!!!
Whew! Today
is Monday in which is the start to another hectic week ahead! At least CJ gets
home tonight from his long weekend away in Reno!
Picture of the room BEFORE paint (please excuse the mess!) The lighting is bad, but the walls are originally white
