Still February? Okay, then.

I am just a bad blogger this month.  Sorry, yo.  I’d like to say it’s because I’ve been so busy, but too busy to blog?  Probably not THAT busy.  Regardless, I wanted to check in, if for no other reason than the fact that my memory is terrible, and if I don’t update this thing every once in a while there is no way I’d even remember there was a second half to February 2012, let alone what-all was happening then.

Remember how Lexi got her first tooth?  Well, she got her second one too, within a week of #1.  And I think the top ones will poke through shortly, although more in the week range, rather than “any day now.”  We’re just starting to get used to the gummy smile turning into a toothy grin.  Gotta love it though, we were spoiled by getting that sweet baby smile for so long that we’re comfortable welcoming these teeth into our lives.  On a related note, I’m really working on teaching Lexi to flash those new chompers every time I say, “Show me your TEETH” (ala Lady Gaga’s Teeth) – so far, no luck.

No news on the house sale – still no offers even.  Ugh.  We’ve had about 3-4 buyers come through in the last couple weeks showing some serious interest, but no follow through, which has been incredibly disappointing.  I keep telling myself that it’s only February, that it’s not even the “busy season” yet, but the pessimistic part of me likes to point out that even if we DO get an offer, who knows how low it will be.  Man, I can’t even write about this, it is just all such a bummer.

MOVING ON.  There have been a bunch of things happening on the weekends.  We all went to my friend Melanie’s “Nerdy 30″ birthday party – I even bought Lexi a special robot onesie for the occasion (check it out below).  The next weekend we went to another 30th birthday, this time for our friend Chris.  That was a fun party – lots of little babies around, some even younger than Lexi!  In fact, most were younger than The Bear – weird.  This weekend we will be going to Valencia so I can do a “tea” with the girls while Brent is on Daddy duty.  Very relaxing, well, for me at least.

So I had a little bit of a victory in the last week – I hit my pre-pregnancy weight!  OMFG yes it took me over a year to get to that number, which reminds me that I haven’t been this small in almost TWO YEARS.  Word to the wise, if you think you can get pregnant and your body will just pop right back, you’re a sweet, innocent fool.  And if you did pop right back, I don’t want to hear about it.  This was really really hard for me, and my tummy is still super eager to just pop out after every meal despite the number on the scale, AND I’m just going to get pregnant again so why even acknowledge this anyway?  And also, even if I HIT that number, that was just one day, the next day I was two pounds up, and I didn’t get back to the magic number until I weighed myself today…after fasting for Ash Wednesday.  So it’s a shaky victory at best, but I’ll take it because despite everything mentioned above, all my clothes fit great and I’m proud of myself.  Go me.

And finally, Lexi actually enjoyed the beach today!  She played in the sand, walked all over the place, and even laughed when I brought her up to the water (lifting her up and dipping her toes in when waves would come).  I guess there are some perks to not having moved just yet.
