Good news.. kinda

I'm happy to report that Olivia hasn't thrown up since Friday. The bad news is that she still cries all day at daycare and barely eats or drinks anything. I'm wondering how long she is going to be stubborn for because it's been really stressful, on both of us. Luckily today was my day off so I took her to the park and then we went for a walk. She really loves being outside (except when she's at school) and she would stay out at all day if she could. There were a lot of kids at the park today (including some annoying teenagers). When I was pushing Liv on the swing, another little girl was laughing so Olivia started fake laughing. It was really funny, she just wanted to copy the girl. She's silly, she makes me so happy no matter how bad my day is going. I know I've been neglecting this blog a bit but I've been super busy. My job is absolutely exhausting and when I'm home, I like to spend as much time as possible with Liv. I have a lot I want to post though so hopefully I will have some time this weekend.

Hurry up spring!

Am I the only mom that forgets she's doing laundry? The other day it took me almost six hours to do one load. I forgot to switch the clothes from the washer to the dryer for almost two hours so I had to run it through the wash again. After that, I forgot again! I guess I need to start setting a timer on my phone or something. Okay, that was just a quick little rant about my forgetfulness. Anyway, it was such a sunny and warm (well.. warmer) day on Wednesday so I decided we should go to the playground. I was really excited but when we got there, the entrance was blocked off by a huge snow pile. I was pretty bummed, especially since it's the only playground close by. I ended up taking Olivia for a walk, it was great being outside. We are both ready for the spring, warm weather just makes me happy. I am not a big fan of the winter and I'm pretty sure Liv isn't fond of being cooped up in the house either. Yesterday was pretty nice out too, just a little bit colder than Wednesday. Olivia is really missing playgroup (it starts again in two weeks) so I took her to the library and she had fun there. We didn't go until after her nap, it was around 4 o'clock so there were a lot of bigger kids running around. Liv kept yelling in excitement and one of the boys kept covering his ears, she thought it was funny. She loves being around other kids, it's really cute to watch. She has such a silly and fun personality, I love it.

Pool weather

There hasn't been much going on the last few days, today it was extra hot outside. I decided to take Olivia for a walk in her Little Tikes car, I tried keeping us in the shade most of the time. I wanted to walk to the pool but I forgot to pick up some swim diapers for her. I'm hoping I have time to get them tomorrow because I think she would love the pool. She really loved "driving" her car but when we went back inside she got really cranky. She was a nightmare to put to bed tonight, I think she may be getting sick again but hopefully not. The days have been flying by lately or at least it seems that way to me. I wish things would slow down a bit, I am really trying to enjoy all of my time with Liv before I find a job. I'm still on the search and hoping something comes along soon! Anyways just wanted to update quick but things have been pretty uneventful here.

 She is so obsessed with Dora, she stands directly in front of the TV.

Busy weekend

Sorry for slacking with the posts, this is the first time all weekend I'm sitting down to relax. Okay, maybe a bit of an exaggeration but it was a pretty busy weekend. Yesterday we went to my friends daughters first birthday party, we had a really good time. It's cute to see Liv "play" with kids around the same age as her. They have an outdoor cat and when Olivia saw the cat, she started screaming in excitement. The cat ran away of course (smart move) and then she kept trying to chase her, she's nuts. After the party, we went store hopping looking for a red shirt, I wanted one for today (red for heart disease). When we finally got home I had to give Livy a quick bath, feed her dinner and get her to bed. She fell asleep quick, we were out pretty much all day.

 

Team Livy - Heart Warrior! Her lovely parents/grandparents/cousins/aunt & uncle

WE LOVE YOU OLIVIA! 

Today was the March of Dimes 3K walk (although we took the long route so I think it was more than a 3K for us), Olivia was still sleeping when it was time to leave this morning so I had to wake her up. She was cranky when we first got there but once I started pushing her in the stroller she was fine. The walk was fun, Team Livy was taken so we were Team Livy - Heart Warrior. There wasn't many of us because I kind of gave short notice, other people wanted to come but had previous plans and I also forgot to mention it to everyone. I think next year I'm going to have shirts made for Team Livy, that will be cute. I am glad we were able to recruit a few people though! We earned over $500 for the babies. Thank you to everyone who donated and a special thanks to everyone who walked with us! It's great to have such awesome support from our family and friends. We actually made it on the news for a split second, that was pretty cool to see. Olivia was exhausted by the time we left, even though she just sat in the stroller and ate the whole time. I'm glad that she slept on the car ride home but then she was cranky for a few hours so she took another nap. I got a little sunburn and now I'm beat, tomorrow is going to be a nice relaxing day (I hope). Fingers crossed that Olivia sleeps in so I can too!
