The Daily Hailey

Brady worked today. At this point, he’s so happy to be back at work that he’ll take as much as possible, and I fully support that. While it was great to have him more when I was feeling my worst, breakfast in bed doesn’t actually pay bills. So, Brady worked Saturday.

Being at home with Dekker everyday really takes me out of the outside world. In a lot of ways, thats probably a good thing. But on most occasions, I couldn’t tell you what date it is, much less what day of the week it is. The other day I had to sign date something, and it may have been my first time ending the date with /13 ever! So while everyday seems like a Saturday in lots of ways, I am so used to having my husband home for that one solid day. It was different, but worth it, of course.

However, with the change in routine, I had terrible cabin fever. I could see that it was sunny and nice, but with Dekker being a bit sick these days and sleeping insane amounts, getting him all ready to go outside is somewhat fruitless when he would last about 10 minutes before an emotional breakdown would ensue. So we stuck with our normal routine of eating and then playing toys downstairs until Deks needed a nap. He had a few cries, and instead of just wailing on the floor, he came over to the couch where I was laying down and reached for me. I grabbed him right away and hauled him up. He would lay on me and have a good cry, and then shuffle off the side of the couch and go back to his toys. He has never really come for a cuddle when he’s sad, so I found that very special. Maybe our nice long hug the other day when he was taking care of me made him feel safe too.

When Brady got home, I was sooo ready to be out of the house. So we did the irresponsible parent thing and took Dekker to Saskatoon waaay too late in the evening. Dekkers bedtime is usually around 8:30 and we arrived in the city around 8:15. Shame on us, I know. But we hit up Walmart and got him some toys and me a cute top that really is beautiful, and is designed perfectly for a pregnant body but for some reason, isn’t maternity wear! Weird, but its super cute, so yay! Then we hit up Timmys and went home. My roll-up record so far this season is 0 for 10-ish. Either way, I haven’t won at all. A little ticked at the system.

A short trip, and poor baby was so tired, but he was great and I feel better. Totally worth it. I’m so thankful my highway is all clear 🙂

And just for kicks, here’s a few randoms for you tonight!

Ok, the end of a very random post. Everyone have a good sleep. I will be up for a while. Why oh why would I cheat and have my caffeine before bed?! I’m going to be hyper and peeing all night.
