Surviving Wednesdays!

Well, I survived another Wednesday! Wednesdays are my most dreaded day of the week. Alan leaves for work around 6:30am and doesn't return until around 8pm...sometimes later. So I am on baby duty all day and all night. Which honestly isn't that horrible, it's just very tiring and I find myself counting down the hours until nap time and bed time. Alana is a very good baby and usually plays contently, but just the thought of knowing I have absolutely no help or relief the whole day is daunting. We make it through though. I usually try to plan a grocery trip or some kind of shopping trip on Wednesdays so it passes the time faster. On Thursdays I am always so relieved to have made it through yet another Wednesday! It's some what of an accomplishment, I guess. I did it ! I did it! hehe

Anyway...today is March 25th. That is the day I was due with Alana last year!!! Can you believe it?? My little baby is going to be 1 in exactly one week!!! I know I sure can't believe it. I thought I would be really emotional, but so far I think I'm so stressed out at trying to get everything done for the party, that I really haven't had time to think about her actually turning 1. I think it may hit me on her actual birthday. We aren't planning much for her actual birthday, she doesn't like cake, so I may give her a little bit of ice cream and she will open the presents Alan and I got her, but other than that it's just going to be like every other day. Lots of playing, eating, and one long nap!

Some days I find myself just squeezing her and kissing her over and over again....until she shakes her hands and says " all done " ! She is just so stinkin cute, I just can't help myself sometimes! Now when she sees something she likes she will say " ohhh, wow!!" It really is the cutest thing I've ever heard in my life. She says it a lot...when she picks up her shoes or when we're in the grocery store. She is close to walking, but I don't think she'll make it by her birthday. Oh well....she'll get the hang of it soon enough!
