a small shopping spree!

this post is going to be short because i totally sliced my finger open on a very sharp knife yesterday while washing the tray of kingston's highchair. not cool.

i figured after that happened, i was going to have an awful day. but it wasn't. i went to visit a beautiful, fresh, not-so-little (she was 9lb 1oz) baby girl at the hospital. she was beautiful, her mama looked beautiful, and her daddy was in such great spirits. it was so wonderful. something about a fresh baby that just gives you a great feeling.

after the majority of the day was done, i decided to swing by the mall to grab a shirt for my first day of training tomorrow with the city of abbotsford. so glad i did. my wardrobe is rotten. i look into my closet and see nothing. everything makes me look like i'm trying to be 14....not the look i care to have when i am married with a baby. it's no wonder the first thing people do when they see me with my baby is look to see if i'm wearing a wedding ring (any other mama's get that????). kind of pathetic. anyways, i walked out of the mall with a handful of goodies and they'll all be perfect for work. it sounds so vain, but it's amazing how different i feel about myself when i put things on that i feel confident in. a good pair of jeans does wonders for my self esteem. feeling comfortable in my shirts especially.

after 9.5 months i'm still nursing! i am so happy i've maintained it. my original goal was 6 months. if i could make it to 6 months i would be happy. after battling thrush a handful of times, i was sooo ready for the big 6 months mark to hit. and it seems so far in the past now. kingston and i have such a strong bond, and i'm sure it's partially due to nursing.

ok, i'm petrified that i'm going to re-split this finger open...and the thought of stitches freaks me out.

have a great day everyone!
