Radio Silence

Sorry for disappearing last week. To be totally honest, it wasn't a good week. I just love how I crowed after my 6 week postpartum appointment that I was doing so good. And then life decided I needed a good slap back to reality.

There wasn't anything that happened. I think it's a combination of sleep deprivation and adjusting to having 3 children. I tend to second guess myself a lot when I have a newborn and struggle to find the new normal. Even though I felt I had been doing really good, last week I just felt really anxious and it bubbled over into lots of crying jags. I really don't know how people who have anxiety regularly stand it because what I get with postpartum is just awful.

Luckily, Sunday and Monday were really good days. I don't think I'm totally out of the woods, but I am going to celebrate every day that is good and just focus on knowing that luckily I know the anxiety will eventually go away completely. I don't think I have PPA again, but I am going to continue to watch my feelings, take my supplements, and hope for the best! I am so blessed that Brent, my parents, my in-laws, and my sister are all so fabulous to give me the extra attention and support I need! 

I guess if I have to have anxiety, these stinkers are worth it!

Drewisms

I've collected a lot of funny things Drew has said that crack me and that I want to remember.

Drew has asked us how come the fish doesn't talk to her and she will try to carry on a conversation with the fish. It is still a one-sided conversation!

This was a while ago, but Drew wanted her goldfish to die after Trent's goldfish died and he got Gil 2.0. Well, she got her wish not too much later...but we didn't buy her another fish, ha. However, about a week ago, Trent told Drew Gil 2.0 could be her fish...since he has decided fish are boring!

She calls the beta a 'Firefighter fish' instead of 'fighter fish'.

It's always fun having to interpret Drew's song requests - she'll describe the song in weird ways, and it's up to me to guess! I'm usually pretty good but not always. 

There's a local kids play place called Kiddie Acres. But Drew calls it Hello Kitty Acres.

She calls nursing 'milking'. So she'll say 'When you finish milking Paige...'

At school, anytime there is a performance there is an announcement to 'Pacify your cell phones and turn off your babies.' Well, in the car one time Trent said that, and Drew promptly followed it up with 'Bluetooth audio.' which is what Brent says in his truck to play music on Bluetooth.

Some other funny phrases:
Food Fires = Foo Fighters
Stripe 3 = Strike 3
Captain Crook = Captain Hook

Love this girl and her funny expressions!
