Quilt & Babies

My baby was sick today. He slept in until 11:00, which I thought was odd but he has been going to bed late. When he finally woke up he wanted me to hold him for a while and then as I was getting him into the tub he threw up. Poor kid. We spent the day/night watching movies in pajamas. I hate when he's sick but it is the only time that he lets me hold him. I was able to rock him to sleep tonight and that made me really happy.

This is a blanket I made for Adah. Nothing special but fun to do. I'm a happier person when I have some kind of a sewing project to work on.

My niece Hailey was baptised tonight. She looked so cute in her white dress and she seemed really happy about her special day. Unfortunately I didn't get to see her baptised because Adah cried and I had to walk her in the halls of the church. I did catch the end of my mom's talk on the Holy Ghost and that was nice. Wish I had a pic of Hailey..I need to take my camera more often.

New dress! I love having a girl and the clothes that come with!~

Lori gave me one of the center pieces from the dinner tonight. I love gerber daisies. They remind me of Joey. They're his favorite flower and therefore they're my favorite flower too. Thanks Lori for driving down to my house to give them to me.

Adah & Challenge Update

I scored 67/70 points for my first week of my challenge. I'm also down 3lbs now. Only 5 more to go and then I'm at pre-pregnancy weight. It's not all about weight loss though...it's about being healthy. I'm actually trying to eat more but just of the healthy stuff. I lost 1pt from eating dutch oven cobbler...totally worth the point. And then I lost 2 pts for swearing. My personal goal was to not swear...lets just say that isn't my goal this week. It's helped though because I still haven't sworn this week :)

Look at her...just look at her. I'M IN LOVE!

Family Summer Camp

It was time for the annual Albrecht Reunion in the Beaver Mountains. We had a great time, and it was the first year since I've been that it didn't rain. Wahoooooo!!! Adah and I slept in the camp trailer and Bret and Emmett slept in the tent. Adah slept through the night just like she does at home. She did cry an awful lot in the car on the way there and back. A crying baby in the car is so frustrating for me. I hate feeling helpless with helping the baby. We made several stops and the drive took forever. Emmett had the time of his life. He loved playing with his cousins and especially loved singing and dancing while Grandpa Calvin played his accordion. He was the hit while singing "Home On The Range". I'll post the video soon. It's hilarious.

Family Picture

First Day of Camp...explains why my hair still looks great. I cut bangs again!

Baby Deer

Emmett's new best friend, Ashlyn. Isn't she a doll?

We also went to Bret's 10 year high school reunion. We were really late because Adah and a crying attack but I'm glad we made it. We both wished we would have been there sooner. He has great friends!

Aaron Marshall, Luke Toby, Bret Albrecht, Justin Smith, Travis Gillins, and Dale Bowden.

Some of the family came to visit last night and my mom forced the kids together for a picture. We were glad she did cause it turned out really cute.

I just love Max in this picture. He's great at smiling for the camera.

I also felt an earthquake last night. It was kind of scary. I checked online this morning to see if it was really an earthquake and it was 3.4 mag. Not bad for little Mona!

Nightmares

Emmett had his first nightmare last night. He ended up coming into my bed before it happened. He heard me up with the baby and wanted to lay down by me, which I let him do and he quickly fell asleep. About 30 minutes later he started screaming, it really scared me too. He said he was dreaming about spiders and snakes. I felt bad for him, I hope it doesn't happen too often. This happened about 3:00am and he didn't go back to sleep until 5:00am. Not because he was scared but because Bret and I tried to change the subject from the bad dream to happy things, and he got this burst of energy. It was a long night.

I had a CT Scan today for this lump I have on my stomach. It's been bothering me for about a month now, so I'm finally getting it checked out. Anyways I had to drink this awful "contrast" which I fought from throwing up, and then when I arrive they tell me I can't nurse my baby for 24 hours after getting iodine through an IV. I agree..knowing I have enough milk in my freezer but also fearing Adah wouldn't take a bottle. After a long day my baby has had 8.5oz of milk in the last 12 hours. Makes me feel like a bad mom, even though I'm not ;) Can't wait until morning so I can feed my baby. Wish me luck tonight.

Oh did I forget to mention that the only day I desperately need my breast pump is the same day it breaks! Piece of junk!
