Week in Review

Yikes - 38 days to go!! That's okay, I am prepared. I have washed all of James' clothes and bedding/towels/boppy covers. Bottles and the pump are clean and ready as well. Today I am putting the car seat in the Nissan (I'll wait another week or two before adding it to the Mercedes). Then at least one car will be ready to go. The double stroller should be coming in this week so then I can practice taking it apart and putting it together so I can be efficient in our outings. The mobile is hung, bedroom is set, and I am packed except for my makeup. Sophia is half-way packed but I can throw whatever clothes she has clean at the last minute. The only thing is that I have the pack-n-play set up for James so I would have to take that down if we needed to take it to someone's house but that would only take 2 minutes. We have gone grocery shopping and the two refrigerators and all the freezers are jambed pack! I think we are ready!

Jim was off most of this past week so it was nice having him around while Sophia was sick. She is feeling much better - no fever or rash since Thursday. She is rubbing her ears a lot but Jim checked and she does not have an ear infection. I checked her mouth and she has one molar that has busted through her gums, which is why I think she is rubbing her ears so much. She is starting to through tantrums. It requires some added patience but the only thing that worries me is when she throws them, all I see is myself in her. I told mom and she said that "Yes" Sophia does seem to have my temperament. Hold on everyone because it might feel like a long Toddler Years.

The earthquake of course happened this week. The funniest thing was that the first thing I did was run for the doorway and wait so I would be closer to Sophia if we had to get her and get out. Jim, on the other hand, stayed in bed and only asked, "Do we still have earthquake insurance?". After having a fire in this house already, it sounds like an appropriate thing to think of.

Next weekend the neighborhood is having a yard sale. I want to participate but don't know if I can becuase Jim has to work. Therefore, I would be here by myself with Sophia doing a yard sale. It might be a lot to juggle depending on how many people will show up for the sale. Maybe I can find someone who can come and help. Fortunately we don't have that many things to put in it so maybe it won't be so bad.
