We started off our Labor Day Weekend going to the Tech vs. SMU game! Jacob got free tickets through a guy at work and we went with my aunt and uncle. It was a pretty great get away for me. The girls stayed with my parents. They were really good! We ended up spending the rest of the holiday with my parents. Just relaxing and playing with the girls. Labor Day was spent at Mo & Poppy's! It was nice to hang out with everyone and cook out.
Jacob has been gone for work for almost a week now. We are so ready for him to be home tomorrow. Thankfully my parents were able to come this weekend and help me out. This whole parenting 2 girls by myself is a hard thing. Like I've told everyone...I just survive when he's gone.
What else? Well, I've been trying to cut out dairy. It hasn't been easy. There seems to be milk in everything. I do what I can. Callan has good and bad days. We've been on Zantac with her for a little over a week. Some days it seems to be working great, and other days I can't tell a difference. I really think between reflux and an immature digestive system, she is just going to be fussy. I'm praying soon that she will grow out of it and I can enjoy ice cream, glasses of milk, and Starbucks again soon!
Last week Campbell told me she didn't want to wear diapers anymore. Seriously, she has been peeing on the potty for a while now, but just randomly and not consistently, because let's face it, I just haven't had all the time in the world to focus on potty training with a new baby in the house. Well, yesterday we just went for it! She will still wear pull-ups for naps and bedtime, but panties the rest of the day. Yesterday was a pretty darn good first day! She didn't have any accidents...today though, we haven't been so lucky. But the next couple days we are really hitting it hard. She will be going to daycare towards the end of the week with many changes of panties and clothes, and I pray it just clicks in her little brain! She is such a big girl!
I go back to work on Friday of this week. Friday the 13th...I hope that isn't bad luck. I'm anxious to go back, a little worried about Callan, but it's all pretty normal. She will be fine... and it's only a few days a month. I'm so thankful I was given the opportunity to keep my girls most of the time and keep working.
Yesterday was Grandparent's Day! We are so blessed to have wonderful parents that are the best grandparents to our girls! And Jacob and I are also so thankful to my Mo & Poppy and his Granny Nell & Papa Kermit! We love you all so much!
Campbell and I went to a friend's daughter's 1 year birthday party, and I also went to one of my best friend's surprise 30th birthday party this past Saturday. We had a blast! I got to hang with just my big girl...and then have a few hours alone with some sweet friends! It would have been so much better if the hubs would have been home, but we are so grateful that he works so hard for us.
That's about all I can think of for now. It was a little recap of what's been happening the past few weeks!
