6/18/11 - New Love...And New Milestone

I have a new love...working on the weekends. I'm sure that sounds completely disgusting to most people, but I think I would honestly switch my schedule if possible to work on the weekends!

We were up bright and early this morning. I was hoping for some sleeping in after our late night last night, but I definitely got my hopes up too high there. After a little "waking up" time, and a quick shower, I was off to work. I finally had a free weekend day, Christian didn't have anything going on, I was off yesterday and I'm gone at training all day Monday, so it was the perfect time to go in and get some stuff done.

No ringing phone to ignore. No constant stream of e-mails coming in (enhanced greatly with the recent shut down notices that went out). No noisy coworkers. No cubicle crashers interrupting me. Just me, my radio and my computer, putting in some good, hard hours. I only ended up staying for 3 hours, but I got SOOOO much done in those 3 hours.

The rain rolled in just as I was leaving the building. I headed home, with a quick stop at the post office to buy some stamps and mail Amelia's birthday invitations out (YAY, more party progress!). Then, I pulled into the garage, it was definitely nap time, and I was excited for some peace and quiet....only to be met with the little baby squeals and giggles from Amelia as I walked into the house. Even worse, Olivia, while in her crib, was wide awake talking to herself as well. Grrrr. So, I took Amelia and nursed her to sleep, and Olivia eventually dozed off.

Christian spent the rest of the afternoon napping as well...apparently when it rains, he doesn't have anything to do. I spent the rest of the afternoon doing laundry, paying bills and having a little quiet computer time all to myself.

We made a big switch today....Olivia is no longer in her crib as of tonight! AHHHHHH. I swore I wouldn't do this until I absolutely had to, but after the other nights middle of the night accident because she couldn't get to the potty, it is time. So, we mounted the new monitor (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it by the way), and changed her bed from the crib to the toddler setting. We're attempting the no side rail thing right now, so we'll see how it goes. She is VERY excited about her new big girl bed. I, am not. Praying that we don't have a long stream of long nights.

So, that's our Saturday!! Here are some pics of the big bed switch, including our awesome monitor, I just had to share! Of course, Olivia had to help take the bed apart. And, the girls already had to have a little party in the new bad together. It warmed my heart to see that actually. I can't believe my baby is big enough to be in a big girls bed! So sad!
