slow week

It's been a slow week in the Slacker house. I've mainly been working, catching up on my sleep and hanging out with the girls since I got home.

The hanging out with the girls part has been key. I'm not going to lie...E was very, very upset when she found out that I was going to California. Like burst-into-tears-at-the-very-mention-of-it upset. It kind of threw me for a loop, because even though I'm totally awesome, it's not like I never-ever leave her -- she goes to daycare school and I do travel without them (like a week in Ireland, for goodness sakes!). But, she had a great time last weekend with her daddy (and Grandmom and Granddad) and was no worse for wear.

But, since it's just me and the girls tonight, we are going to have another movie night (or moobie night, as A calls it). Actually, it's Movie Night -- Now With More Jammies! since we are changing into our jammies before dinner, eating pancakes for dinner and then watching a movie. I had mentioned the possibility of everyone sleeping in my room, slumber-number style earlier in the week...but I'm really hoping they forgot about that.

And speaking of sleeping arrangements, we had the following conversation this morning over breakfast, before my first pot cup of coffee.

E: Where does Baby AJ sleep?
Me: In a crib
E: Why does she sleep in a crib?
Me: Because she's a baby. Babies sleep in cribs.
E: A still sleeps in a crib. (Turns to A) Are you still a baby because you sleep in a crib?
A: I NOT A BABY! I NO SLEEP IN CRIB!

I'll be perusing the 'Net for some cute big girl bedding today, just to be safe.

do you know the way to san jose?

'Cause that's where I'm headed on Friday. To meet my niece, AJ! Yay!

AJ was born on 3/10/2009 at 2:17 AM. She weighed 7 lb 12 oz and was 20 inches long. It was a looooooooooooong, hard labor for Kiki, but everyone is doing great now. Isn't she beautiful?

I'm not going to lie, the sparse reddish hair threw me for a big loop. I assumed that AJ would look more like my own girls when they were born, which could easily be summed up as DARK and HAIRY.

I also secretly hoped that AJ would look like me, since E was a spitting image of Kiki at birth.

Regardless, I'm going out to help out on Friday...so expect many pictures when I return on Tuesday!
