This morning at 4am when I was filling up my freezer bag full of pumped milk I had to stop and think and use my fingers to count and figure out what the date was. I feel like this last couple of weeks has gone by extremely fast. I took some photos of Kaia for Easter and was hoping to get Easter cards made but it seems as though I am LATE. Easter is in four days. We went to Edmonton last weekend for volleyball and we stayed a few extra days to shop and go to the water park. Erick took the last week off of work to accommodate our little holiday and then to have a few days of home time to relax and get some much needed house work done. Well the house work was on my agenda. I had an ok time in Edmonton. Kaia was a fuss pot for a lot of the trip. It is exhausting trying to entertain her when she just wants to be a crank.
  One lucky souvenir we brought home from Edmonton was a pair of colds. Me and Kaia got it good once again. I think that I am finally on the down hill slide to feeling healthy although I still can’t taste or smell. Kaia is a steady dripping faucet and boy does she put up a real fight when you try and wipe her nose clean. She has some major vocals.
I want to bitch and moan and scream at the weather snow -9 c snow snow snow....I am so dam sick of the snow I’m even sick of bitching about the snow. I am sick of hearing other people bitch about the snow. So whatever snow. YOU WIN!
Kaia now officially has two little teeth and let me tell you I have felt those teeth up close and personal. The first time she bit me I thought she was going to end up on the floor. I screamed and jumped she jumped. A good friend (public health nurse) told me that the trick is to bring them in really tight and hold them there for a few seconds and then put them on the floor. I have tried it, Kaia thinks it’s a game and she looked up at me smiling as if to say, “let’s do it again”. After a visit to the dentist to watch Erick get tortured by Britt and Dr. Darin I learned that it is time to get brushing Kaia’s little gums. I don’t want her poor little mouth to get decayed but I foresee this being a fight similar to snot wiping.
Kaia’s eating adventures have gone ok in the last few weeks. It seems that she is touch and go with wanting to eat and the taste of things. I have been touch and go too with feeding her new flavours. I really have to get my butt in gear. I am determined to feed her organic homemade baby food but yet I have not been so determined in making it. I have yams and carrots made and in the freezer but poor thing she must want some more variety. I have not given her anything sweet yet either. The rice cereal has been a main staple too, breakfast food.
I am really on a mission to keep myself busy and get interested in some hobbies. Between being bored and uninspired and the lack of vitamin D I am blah blah blah. My blah attitude has not gone unnoticed by those around me. Erick agrees that I need to have more outlets. I mean obviously being a mom is not making me bored. I have an unending list of things to do around here and for and with Kaia. But you know what I mean when I say bored. I am bored in other ways.
I cleaned the basement (half ass) and got a table with my sewing machine set up. I am on a mission to sew some drool bibs and bunggy cords that you hang toys from. I guess just being creative is a really great outlet for me. Unfortunately I live in a one horse town and already need more supplies. The dam Fabricland lady sold me the wrong snaps.

Anyways .....sorry about my hiatus I find that when Erick is off work my daily weekly routine is completely changed. No working out, no journaling and I eat lots and lots of carbs. It’s like I truly go on holiday right along with him.
