Yesterday was a very busy day around here. Julia had a Dr's. appointment with her new pediatrician that I'm happy to say went very well! She even did really well with getting her shots, though I assure you she wasn't very happy about it at all. But she only cried a minute while they were actually doing it and then didn't even blink when they pricked her finger to check her iron. All was good and before I forget, she measured in at 39" tall but she had her sandals on so I think the
38 1/2" we measured the other night is probably right on. She finally broke 30 lbs and weighed in at 31 lbs. lol Her iron was great so all is good as far as her health is concerned. And she was very good about talking to the Dr as well so even though she did say was shy, she was vocal enough that the Dr was impressed with how articulate she was. She also did great with her shapes and colors. :) That's my girl.

Later as we were getting ready to leave again for my Dr's appointment, the furniture truck showed up unexpectedly. I guess they still had my TX cell number on file and though I was a bit irritated that they didn't call the back up number, which was our home number, it worked out okay. Fortunately daddy had come home to help with the appointment, so we did a quick swap instead and he stayed here with munchkin while I went to the Dr's by myself, in the pouring rain I might add. I guess it never rained here at the house, thank goodness as they were unloading furniture, but it poured so hard where I was that I could barely see the road. Fun. I'm happy to say that the third time was indeed the charm as far as Julia's dresser went! FINALLY we got one that is not cracked, chipped or damaged!

When I got home, Julia was playing in the basket and shortly there after fell asleep. She slept for maybe 45 minutes and then woke up because she had an accident, poor baby was so upset, I got her cleaned up and we laid back down in the big bed and her and I passed out til 6:30pm!!! actually she didn't wake til about 7! I think those shots were getting to her. We gave her some Tylenol later and she was ASKING to go to bed a little after 9. While it was much later that she finally fell asleep and stayed that way she never once got back out of bed. Not until 3 AM that is. Needless to say we were all a bit off last night and this morning.

She seems to feeling more like herself this afternoon and hopefully back on schedule. Especially since she jumped into the pictures I was getting of her room again. LOL. to show you an undamaged dresser (can you tell I'm excited about that?), her new ceiling fan that we picked up on clearance, got to love the timing there! and the only reason I took another picture of her bed was to illustrate how full it is getting. yes this is definitely my child! My parents can attest to the stuffed animals I used to be surrounded by and she is no different. She is now up to 2 moose and 2 kitty cats and a horse! the only reason the horse isn't on the bed?? because she's still carrying him around of course! we never who she is going to show up with when she makes her way to our room in the middle of the night. Though I do have to say that before last night, she has slept in her bed until anywhere between 5:30 and 7am ALL WEEK!!! I think we are finally getting somewhere with her sleep patterns!!! I pray it lasts, for all our sakes!! :)
