I Love My Black Stretchy Pants

It's Friday, and it's July 3, 2009.  I have to keep reminding myself what day it is.

We are only slightly TIRED.  Just a little bit.

Black stretchy pants have become my best friend.  But I'm determined to cut ties with them by week 6!!!!!!!  They have been a good companion... but I mean... I refuse to be "that mom."  Otherwise, Stacey London and Clinton Kelley from "What Not To Wear" might show up at my door.  Seriously... if I wear black stretchy pants in public after week 6 and you see me... go ahead and call them.

We LOOOVVVEEE being parents to our sweet Aubrey Grace.  She is just the sweetest thing.  Even when I am up with her until 5:30AM like I was last night... I can't be upset.  I just love her so very much!  I had to call the doctor yesterday because she broke out in a rash and I sort of freaked out... much like new moms do.  Apparently it's just a heat rash... and we were told to stop swaddling her.  This Mom thing is confusing sometimes... her temp was down in the hospital and they told us to make sure and keep her warm and swaddle her... etc ... so we were trying... and then she breaks out in a heat rash!?  Agh... I guess she's warm enough now bless her heart.  The rash actually looks much better today.  

Tyler's parents have been here this week... and it's been SO great!!  They have helped us so much!  Cuddling with little Aubrey... doing laundry... cooking dinner... letting me take naps.  It's been a joy.  Danny even mowed our lawn this morning.  AND... Tyler and I are going on a date tonight (YAY!)... and no I will not wear my stretchy black pants, even though I really did think about it ;)

Tyler thinks I have ADD now... before Ty's parents got here... I was holding Aubrey... had the sink on (not really sure why)... was cleaning out the fridge... and trying to make a sandwich all at the same time.  Tyler was laughing so hard.  Someday maybe my brain will go back to normal.  Otherwise, this is the new me people.    

Love you all like crazy!!
