sucky monday

i've determined mondays suck. i never even use that word, but it is the only way to describe my mondays lately. i think i get used to mike being with us all weekend long, so when he goes back to work on mondays, i just get exhausted and overwhelmed all over again. yesterday i was also dreading my 6 week check up at the ob/gyn...crazy i know, i just delivered a baby and i'm scared for a little exam! so my sweet aunt vicki came to watch sadie while i went to the dr. as soon as i got there, i started my period (ugh...sorry if tmi) thank goodness he didn't end up doing an internal exam. but i felt bad and had a headache all day long. however, i was determined to make my chicken artichoke tomato penne for dinner which is pictured above. as soon as we sat down to eat, sadie decided it was bedtime and started to cry/fuss/wiggle.

mike and i took turns trying to get her to sleep and in between argued and snapped at each other for an hour and a half. being tired, hormonal, and having a period for the first time in a year does not make for a pleasant evening. anyway, by the time sadie went to sleep, my pasta was cold and disgusting and i through the entire pan into the garbage disposal and made myself and peanut butter and honey sandwich!

but i did manage to get this sweet pic of sadie looking at her daddy while he fed her...

this morning mom came and helped me with sadie for a couple hours since i was still feeling awful and had had a splitting headache all night long. i started feeling better midmorning and today turned out to be a pretty good day. the sun was shining, we went to target, and took a nice long walk in the neighborhood.

here's nana with miss sadie belle


and some close ups!

sadie had a rough night tonight...she's seems to be constipated and her little tummy was hurting so bad. it's just the worst thing to not be able to make her feel better immediately. the dr. told me to try pedialyte in her formula. have any of you moms tried that and does it work??
