AP Baby

Gosh I haven't posted in FOR EVER! Yikes. Well, Bella has been going through the 18 month sleep regression. From. Hell. It has been awful. More on that later though! I found this cool meme and decided it would be a good way for me to get back into blogging. I've missed it. Anyways, here it is.. rules and all that are below.

Mosaic Rules
a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
b. Using only the first page, pick an image.
c. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd’s mosaic maker.

1. What is your first name?

2. What is your favorite food?

3. What high school did you go to?

4. What is your favorite color?

I found this meme on Elle PhD, but it originated..,. er, well, I'm not exactly sure where it originated, but I see some other bloggers doing it. Here's one, and another, and I bet there are more! The only ones I fudged were the "What is your greatest love" question, because that answer has to be my husband and daughter, without question; and my flickr name, because I do not have one.

Apparently, I need one.

So Bella had her first baby swim class today. I had originally planned for C to take her since I had something else planned, but we could not find his swimsuit. :roll: So I went, but of course I got off to a late start, and then I had to go on the college campus which is very confusing and full of one-way roads. I drive around looking for the building and wind up having to go around a few times. Then I find the building, then I'm like where the holy fuck do I park? Running late, running late, Bella getting impatient.

Find the parking, which of course is 3/4 blocks away. So I have Bella and two big bags. Regular diaper bag, plus bathing suits and towels for us. Luckily I have an SSC in the car, so I put my coat on, go to put the SSC on and one of the buckles comes off! Yikes! I put the buckle back on, but it was not right, so I wound up holding it with my hand to make sure Bella didn't fall! Put Bella in the SSC (after of course, getting her coat and hat on since babies can't wear coats in the carseat, arggh), get the bags, and get going. Get there, and we have to go down a bunch of steps to the pool, only to get there, to find out the changing rooms are back up the steps and then some more steps.

Friday night my husband told me he'd take care of Bella overnight. So I took two benadryl to conquer my insomnia and went to bed. I was dimly aware of Bella's night wakings, but I still got more sleep than I have in months! I was still tired in the morning so I took a nap with her when she went down for her morning nap.

Then we got up and went to the Gaithersburg Water Park! That place *rocks!* I loved it! Charlie and I took turns going on the waterslide Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy We bounced Bella around in the water and she had a blast! I wore her in my watersling without even a second glance from any of the lifeguards.

We stopped for subs on the way home, ate lunch and then put Bella down for her nap. She zonked out! The park tired her out Very Happy All that sunshine Very Happy (But no burning, California Baby came through!)

While she was down for her nap, I got ready to go... to the Simpsons Movie! I went and saw it all by myself while she was sleeping. I had popcorn and soda and the movie was *hilarious!*

I came home and Charlie and I made dinner on the grill with big delicious salads.

I took a bath with Bella and got her ready for bed and told Charlie to go see the movie! So he went while I put her to sleep and then I hung out playing online waiting for him to get back so we could talk about it Very Happy

It was just a perfect day, start to finish. Of course last night Bella was up and down and up and down and now I'm exhausted again, and she took a too short nap this morning and now is Miss Crankypants, but still... that one perfect day!
