I've resigned myself to staying in the apartment indefinitely and so, have set out to try and make it feel a lot more like home. Ice been tweaking the bedroom and started planning some decorating for the rest of the house.

Yesterday, I deep cleaned the bathroom and plan on tackling more today. I'm also going to work on decluttering. K has applied for a better job with much better hours. I'm crossing my fingers that he will get it. Every little bit helps.

Have a load of towels in the wash. Once that's dry, I'll be taking a shower and getting some meal planning done. I'm gonna hit a store that sells local produce and then grab the meat from one of the grocery stores. We don't really have a local meat market or else I would shop there. That, and pick up some baby food. If there is time, I may try my hand at making some of my own for Emma.

I've also got plans to deep clean the refridgerator and finish cleaning the kitchen. We will probably grab lunch while we are out and about. I'm still kinda scared of blw but I make sure to bring little snacks for her.

She is still a little congested but definitely getting better. She is such a sweet girl and getting so excited about pulling herself up and standing. My little girl is a champ.

The plan is to get enough done today that I can actually have a bit of a lazy day tomorrow. The gate for her play yard should be here soon and I'll be able to secure it a little better.

Gonna be a busy day.

GUYS!!!

If your little ones like music to help get them to sleep, check out Twinkle Twinkle Little Rock Star. They take all kinds of artists and make their music in to lullabies. Like there is an entire album of Beatles songs in lullaby form. Its amazing.

And she is up. Let's see for how long. She had a bottle and is now playing contently.

It’s 8 pm and Emma is already out for the night. Poor thing never goes to bed before 10. My heart breaks for her.

So our whole house is suffering from a cold. Wahoo. Still, Emma is exceptionally happy though she is napping a little more frequently and wants lots of snuggles. So, I'm trying to get my cleaning done during her naps because once she is up, she doesn't want to let Mama do anything without her.

I'm sick.

Baby's sick.

Happy fricken Monday.

I just feel like being a mom is truly what I was meant to be. It gives me such peace and joy. When she smiles at me first thing in the morning, I know I'm right where I am supposed to be.

Update: Almost 8 months

Emma can now crawl, go from laying down or crawling to sitting up, and is grabbing at everything to try and pull herself up. I have never felt this much love in my heart and I can’t even begin to imagine my life without her. It’s like she has been here since the beginning and I’ve only ever existed as her mother.

Watching her grow and change has been amazing. I can’t wait to see what she is going to accomplish next.

I am so so excited. Next week is our vacation and it's been long long over due. Also, they're talking about changing a few rules at work and if so, I'll be making some physical changes. Super excited about that as well. 😆😆😆

Don’t ever fucking tell someone with depression or anxiety that their feelings are invalid because you have no fucking idea how many times a day they blame themselves for their mental illness and already feel incredibly guilty and if you’re one of those people invalidating our illness then fuck you

i hope you always have enough money to pay your rent on time, to buy your favorite groceries, and to invest in your art.

I receive that blessing & send it to everyone that follows me

gentle reminder

you’re not weak just because something got to you; being scared and feeling negative emotions is part of being human - you might feel really bad now, but the pain will pass
