Our DVR is full, so I guess I just have to watch some television today. It started off a little strange, with Miss Lily throwing up her morning bottle, but it's gotten a bit better. While watching Law & Order this morning, I enjoyed a bowl of peaches with cottage cheese in leu of breakfast. However, Miss Lily got a dollop in her hair - oops (good Emily Chenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02253602780001623314noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3754672.post-50235171667009934442009-02-23T19:02:00.001-06:002009-02-23T19:02:19.961-06:00Hrumph...How do you explain to a two month old that mommy had other things to do than hold her all the time?

It is so not cool to have a cold when you have a small baby. Everytime I cough, I startle her. We realized last night that Ed and I have never been sick at the same time before. There is a first time for everything. Usually one of us takes care of the other, but this time... no such luck. I have to be both parents and take care of the big baby as well as the Emily Chenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02253602780001623314noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3754672.post-80649236080540645952009-02-18T09:56:00.002-06:002009-02-18T10:49:26.525-06:00To buy or not to buy...So for the last few months, Ed has mentioned that he was going to buy me a laptop for my birthday. To be honest, I was kinda excited, but I knew I shouldn't get my hopes up, because I know money is a little tight. So, when we filed our taxes and figured out that we were going to be getting a decent amount for a refund this year, I was kinda hoping that I would be getting Emily Chenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02253602780001623314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3754672.post-5152996397278786402009-02-18T09:52:00.002-06:002009-02-18T09:56:49.691-06:00On Today's Docket...Heading down home today to renew my drivers licence. Yikes! I have been dreading this for a while, cause I wasn't sure which state to renew it for. I don't know what our long range plans are for a house, but it will probably be in IL, so I'm just going to renew it instead of going for a WI license. Bridget is going to go with me, cause she still hasn't renewed her Emily Chenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02253602780001623314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3754672.post-32442389203601399582009-02-18T09:11:00.009-06:002009-02-18T09:44:38.085-06:00The Big 3-0Oh, it finally happened - I turned 30. I was never really worried or freaked out about turning thirty... I just had some small goals which I wanted to accomplish by the time I reached that magical birthday - and I really have succeeded in all but one of them. Some examples on my list... ✓ Graduate College✓ Finish my Masters Degree✓ Move Away from home✓ Get Married✓ Have a Baby - phewEmily Chenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02253602780001623314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3754672.post-2648120218156735972009-02-16T17:47:00.001-06:002009-02-16T17:52:42.629-06:00How I Spent My gift card to The Boston Store...Emily Chenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02253602780001623314noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3754672.post-34585201423985000272009-02-16T09:59:00.002-06:002009-02-16T10:14:27.087-06:00The Belly ButtonI visited the doctor this morning with little Miss Lily to have her belly button "checked out". It became obvious a few weeks back that her little button is herniated! Poor little thing. It wiggles around and started sticking out more the other day, so I figured I should just have it checked out by her Ped. When I mentioned it to my mom, she said she'd heard of people who Emily Chenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02253602780001623314noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3754672.post-9160827109436048702009-02-14T04:52:00.003-06:002009-02-14T05:01:13.919-06:00Happy Valentine's Day!It's my favorite holiday of the year, except for my birthday... in three days! Ed couldn't wait to give me my Valentine's gift and my birthday gift... crazy kid. For Valentine's Day, he gave me a nice silver chain, to replace the one which broke a few weeks ago. For my birthday he gave me a little silver charm with a little piece of Blue Topaz, Lily's birthstone.

We were going to create this little person who is just like us! Well, that has definitely come true. Like Edward and me, our little girl has the sleeping habits of us, down to the "t". She naps from about 8-10:30 pm, then we keep her up or give her a bath until about midnight...

I feel like such a dork calling her at work to ask about what to do about the sore spot in between the layers of fat on her neck, but what is a clueless first time mom to do? Today I placed a call at the Dr.'s office for Lily to get her belly button looked at - it's herniated and now seems to be Emily Chenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02253602780001623314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3754672.post-91806354330566584222009-02-13T22:52:00.005-06:002009-02-16T10:17:25.530-06:00Welcome to the Blogworld Little Sister...I would like to introduce the blogging world to my little sister Fran.So talented.
