Awful:
Not looking forward to Monday, bitter sweet to have MJ's possible hemangioma tested since it has grown
This weather is a joke! One day it's gorgeous out, nice and sunny....the next as in today, it's snowing!
Picking up medication at the pharmacy to find out it was all messed up and they wanted to charge me $90 for something that cost me $15 last time...yeah freaking right. I most certainly did not pay for it.
Going for a walk on a beautiful afternoon...than seeing pink on my bald headed girl the next day. Time to buy some baby spf!
Awesome:
Finally catching MJ laughing on video.
Early Easter dinner with my fam due to parentals being gone for the majority of April
Pinterest craft night with the ladies
Going with the husband to the Temple for the first time since before I had MJ. Something that was very needed.
Having all of the weekend off and being able to enjoy watching Conference

Awful/Awesome
Awful:
In mid shower of finishing shaving one leg, MJ wakes up from nap
Come Sunday, forgetting about being half a chewbacca till arriving at church and looking down at my bare legs.
MJ's 4 month old shots, those cries just kill me
Watching a kid in the waiting room pick his nose and wipe it on his mom. I'm going to be that mom one day aren't I...*cringe
Awesome:
Back massages after a long day at work are heavenly
Forgetting about house work for the day and spending it cuddling with my sweet girl
Giving in and reading the Hunger Games. Yup I loved it! On to book number 2
Checking out Utah's new awesome mall City Creek. Looking forward to going again.
When telling a client how old I am, he had assumed I was 4 years younger. Boo yah

4 months old!
Mary is 4 months old!
Weight: 13 pounds (25th percentile)
Height: 24 inches (30th percentile)
She is exploring her surroundings more and more, she loves to sit up rather than laying down on her back. She'll arch it and get upset after a minute. She has learned to roll over! We have heard her giggle only twice, I'm sure it's quite comical to watch Ryan and I act like clowns doing anything we can to get her to smile and get really close to giggling.
She has moved on up to sitting in her stroller rather than being in her car seat. We took her for a walk at the park and she loved it! She has found her hands so if her binky isn't in her mouth it's her fingers, sometime all of them at once till she realizes that wasn't a good idea and gags herself..
She is doing great sleeping at night now that she has her wubbanub, she'll wake up usually just once to eat. She loves to do the itsy bitsy spider, patty cake, and dance. She loves to be around people and will smile for anyone.
Fun Facts:
Must haves: wubbanub, an extra outfit in case of blow outs, blue elephant to play with the rings and toys that hang from it.
Wears: 3-6 months clothes (barely she is still a petite little thing) size 1 diapers
Loves: attention, bath time, cuddling with mom and dad, sitting up, music, tv (but we dont let her watch it, she sure tries though!) rides in her stroller, playing with toys that make sound and have lights.
Hates: her carseat, laying down, getting in and out of clothes, when we take her fingers out of her mouth, having a dirty diaper on longer than a few seconds
I sure hope all of our future babies are just like her, she is such a good baby! I love our little family it's amazing how much life changes when a baby arrives and for the better. She is just such a joy and we can't imagine life with out her.

Awful:
- Gotta love ''mom brain''
After paying for items at the store, having the cashier come after you saying you paid but didn't take your items with you. awesome.
-Going back platinum blonde and still have the hormones from pregnancy leaving my body so I have strands of pure yellow hair, yeah I'm sexy and I know it.
- Breaking out has gone from bad to worse. I officially have lost all self esteem. Put some glasses and braces on me so I can just claim to be a teenager..
- While clipping MJ's nails, she moved and I clipped her skin! Talk about making me feel like a horrible mom with the bottom lip pouting out and the cries
-I always wondered how on earth do moms lose baby socks? yeah I judged. Well today MJ kicked off one of her socks while we were out and about, dang girl! On the upside it's nice out so I'll just keep her barfoot till her summer shoes fit
Awesome:
-MJ is more than taken care of in the clothes department till next Summer. The girl has better style than me!
- She never cries or wines just because. She is such a good baby and only cries when she needs to be changed or is hungry.
- Went out yesterday and it was gorgeous! I'm loving this warmer weather and taking out the stroller
-MJ is growing some hair! No more miss baldy
-I love having 2 days off in a row from work

Awful:
The aftermath from feeding MJ formula, not a happy camper for the next 24 hours. poor girl!
Still frustrated that she will only nurse while using a shield
Realizing who your true friends are, and that they are hard to come by these days.
Sleeping with my retainer for the first time in MONTHS...ouch
Going to Bikram Yoga and feeling that squishy post pregnancy tummy in the way. Go Away please!
Awesome:
Trying out Bikram Yoga for the first time! Hard but feels so good! If i could afford it I would so go all the time
Spent all day yesterday cleaning, organizing our home. Feels so good to have a nice clean home again!
Bought Zumba for the wii and danced my bumb off, Spring is around the corner and I can't hide behind pants and sweats for much longer nor use the excuse ''I just had a baby''

I'm a believer
One word:
Wubbanub
What exactly is a "Wubbanub" you ask? It's amazing is what it is. That is if your baby loves binkies and some how their little hands seem to always get in the way of their mouth and then the crying begins till you put the magical plug back in.
Ryan thought it was joke when I said I was going to buy one. Well what do you know... her first night with it she woke up ONCE! it was awesome I tell ya. Rather than waking up at midnight, 3 am, again at 6 am. And talk about miracle worker while driving! No more stretching my hands and cranking my back and neck to find the lost binky in her car seat.

Well I'm a day late. But, that's because I was barely home yesterday.
Awful:
Getting a text from my sister saying she had MJ because my dad had taken my mom to the hospital due to cooking oil burns on her hand.
Mary's possible hemangioma has gotten bigger...Looks like she'll have to have it tested when we go to the dermatologist next month.
Dealing with people from medicaid, hospitals. I could go off on a huge rant about that subject.
Getting cut on my leg and hand by a loose piece of glass from my shattered phone.
Having to deal with a shattered phone because there is no way I'm paying half the cost of the phones value to fix the dang screen.
Awesome:
MJ giggled for the first time yesterday! Granted it was during her food/sleep coma. But it was pretty much the cutest thing ever.
Volunteering to clean the Salt Lake temple with Ryan. Such a great experience and wonderful feeling being there.
Having prayers answered and feeling a huge weight lifted off our shoulders with MJ's unexpected visit to Primary Children's Hospital after she was born.
Hanging out with our group of awesome friends. We always look forward to our game nights with them.
Our ward was split last week, we're sad to say goodbye to so many great people there but we look forward to this change and know it was needed and that it will be just as great as it was before.
