It’s been an eventful week. Tim left for Iqualuit on Monday scheduled to return on Wednesday…but as usual, weather conditions kept him from flying out. He is now scheduled to return Friday night…we hope!!!
So, I was supposed to take it easy this week which hasn’t quite worked out that way. But at least my cramping has stopped and all seems quiet on the baby front.
I was able to co-ordinate trading our single Chariot stroller for a double stroller with someone in town. It’s great! I could have used this ages ago when I babysat Mackenzie but now it’s for Edzea and the new baby. She was thrilled with it! and insisted on bringing one of her babies in with it’s blankie to check it out. We walked around inside the garage for a few minutes and of course she wanted to go outside but I was in the middle of making dinner when the trade had occurred. I had to use a phone call to Nana and Bumpa as a bribe to get her out of the garage. She is getting more and more stubborn by day. I can’t wrestle with her in my pregnant condition so I have to wrack my brain to outwit her stubborness. It’s exhausting!
She won’t even let me touch her boots to help her try to put them on right now. She can’t do it by herself but she insists on trying and gets extremely mad if I try to help.
She’s been in the dayhome for Wed., Thursday this week and went potty the whole time. The only time she can’t control it right now is during naps and bedtime so she still wears her diaper during that time.
I’ve included some pics of my first blooming Amaryllis of the year too. I have 3 pots going and this is the first bloom. It’s so nice in the midst of the stark landscape I see every day.
Our weather this week has been beautiful though. Mainly -10 and warmer. Unusual for this time of year. I’m not complaining as on Monday, just after Tim left (of course) our garage door broke AGAIN!!! This time we will have to replace the whole component. Again, still waiting to hear back from the company. Luckily the weather has been fine so I don’t mind parking outside TOO much.
The heater in our car is also acting up. It blows hot air from 0 -4. It won’t shut off. I’m just worried that it is going to conk out just as I really need it. Haven’t gone to the shop to have it looked at yet.
Also, this is the week, everyone all of a sudden wanted to see our rental house. So, after many trips up the snow covered stairs, I’ve found the perfect tenants.
I’m looking forward to Tim coming home. Edzea has been sleeping with me from 3am every night as I’m too tired to fight to get her back into her own bed at that time.
That’s all for now .
