celebrity sighting

so i'm at HEB this afternoon and go to the checkout lane where i see two women checking out ahead of me. i'm not paying attention at all because i'm trying to get my groceries on the conveyor belt, my mini banana nut muffins have fallen on the ground, and i'm on the phone with mom who's watching sadie for me. but after i get all my stuff out of my basket and am waiting my turn, the dark headed woman turns around and looks at me (almost like 'don't you know who i am?') i'm still oblivious but i look at her and see that she's wearing these huge diamond earrings, then i look at her ring and it's the BIGGEST DIAMOND i have ever seen in person in my life. i'm thinking, even the super rich people in waco don't have diamonds that big!

so she's talking to the cashier and then it hits me...

it's jessica simpson's mom!!!

which totally makes sense because her parents, jessica's grandparents, live in our neighborhood. so i guess she was here visiting her parents and needed to buy a few groceries. how cool is that?

changing subjects...susanne (my sister) and i have completely done role reversals in the last couple of weeks. she is committed to being super organized and planning each part of her day now, and i have no schedule at all and barely know what day it is. she is making lists and following them, and today at the grocery store, i had no menu planned and was randomly throwing things into my cart. (like a jumbo box of jimmy dean breakfast sandwiches, when 20 days ago, i wouldn't have dreamed of eating a frozen breakfast out of a box. ha!)

and she was telling me what cute skinny jeans, leggings, and cowboy boots she just bought, while i'm wearing yoga pants and a t-shirt! we had a good laugh about that! i guess motherhood really changes you!

big bows

i love big bows! this one is from sadie's aunt lindsey...i guess it's a little big for her right now, but i couldn't resist.

today, we've been watching the travel channel, taking a shower (me) and a bath (sadie), eating mcalister's takeout with daddy at lunch, and baking cookies.

i think i'm starting to like this no schedule thing!

now if we could just get it together at night time, i'd be so happy! last night, i called mom to come and help for a little while because sadie's tummy has been hurting her and she will not sleep in her bassinet very well and i was exhausted. mom came around 10pm, and i told her to wake me up at midnight at the latest, just so i could get a couple of hours of sleep.

when i woke up to go and check on them, it was 4:30am!! i had slept the whole night, and my sweet mom was exhausted. thank goodness for mamas!!

date night

here we are before our date last night (i promise my stomach is not that big still, it was the dress ;)

nana and poppy babysat sadie while we went to eat at outback steakhouse. it was fun to get dressed up and have some alone time. but it was really strange being at dinner, not pregnant and without a baby!

we split the chicken and ribs and had the chocolate thunder from down under for dessert. yum!

and here we are after getting home...

sadie slept so good last night, which was SO refreshing because the previous 2 nights, her tummy hurt and she would not sleep in her bed all night long. but last night was great and we HOPE it continues that way ;)

enjoy your sunday!

2 week check up

here we are before sadie's 2 week check up!

she's doing great. gaining weight and looking good...

and when you're a brand new (slightly paranoid) parent, it is SO nice to have a wonderful, laid back pediatrician who reassures you that everything's fine.

can i just tell you what wonderful dinners we've had the past 2 weeks? i can't wait to see what we're eating each night...it's quite exciting!

tonight is my aunt vicki's homemade lasagna, salad, green beans, garlic toast, and banana pudding. don't you want to come over?!

i {heart} target

i went to target today, and it was so fantastic!! mom and sadie stayed in the car while i leisurely shopped for some clothes, a few groceries, and lots of baby stuff.

gorgeous sunny day + sadie sleeping 4 hours straight last night=happiness

here we are before leaving for target...

i stopped by mike's bank to say hi and get some money, and all the tellers were upset i didn't bring sadie in to see them! i don't know when you took your babies out in public, but i'm thinking it will be another 2 weeks before i do.

on a different note-are you watching american idol? i have really loved the guest judges this season. such a good idea! and LOST starts in a few days!!! i can't wait.

happy tuesday everybody!

honest monday

1. i can't imagine sadie not being here now

2. breastfeeding is one of the hardest things to do...ever

3. sleep deprivation and giving birth causes random bouts of sobbing
4.it's okay to not have it together all the time

5. being a mom is a beautiful thing

sleep sweet sleep

just today i finally feel a little like myself again! sleep deprivation does crazy things to you, huh?! i haven't been able to form a coherent sentence in 6 days, but today i actually feel a little rested and i think i'm making sense again. haha!

miss sadie is doing great. we don't seem to get tired of snuggling and kissing her. she is just the sweetest, most lovable baby!

and i can't believe i haven't posted a picture of her and her daddy...mike has been so wonderful and helpful this week. i'm so thankful he took a week off of work so our little family could be together. doesn't he look proud?
happy friday (it is friday right?)
