The Daily Hailey

Brady is finishing a house in Dalmeny, as I mentioned in an earlier post. It became available to him this morning. It is Tuesday. I’m due on Saturday. Its nerve wrackingly close. So when my mom suggested Dekker and I spend today out at her place and she’ll make hot lunch and supper for everyone, we said YES! Brady arrived at his jobsite shortly after 6am. He stopped briefly for both lunch and supper and finished up his day around 7:30pm. We made the same arrangement for tomorrow but hopefully the workday will be much shorter. Today needed to be the long one in case I decide to go into labor tomorrow. Since I obviously have control over all of that…

Dekker and I only arrived in Dalmeny after noon. We ate lunch and once Brady left, we headed out on a playdate with a couple of my girlfriends. I have to say here, to haunt my son forever, that he is completely terrified of little girls 🙂 It was funny, actually. He sat on my lap almost the whole time and just watched them lightly beat on each other. I’m fine with it. Be scared of girls until you’re at least 16, as far as I’m concerned!

We stayed til about 4pm, when I brought Dekker back to my parents for a nap. He slept solid until about 7pm, when I got him up, changed a suuuper yucky poop, and fed him supper. He was so eager to just be free and play that he wasn’t especially interested in supper, but its fun to see his obedience grow! He definitely feeds himself, but not when he’s distracted. I would have a bite on a fork and would ask him to have a bite, to which he would shake his head. I would just nod back at him and he would open his mouth and take the bite. Not every disagreement runs that smoothly but I’m thankful when they do! So he ate almost his whole bowl of supper, then wolfed down a bunch of watermelon before saying “all done” and being released to go play toys.

He played until after 9pm when we finally took him home. He is completely silent in his room now, and honestly, Brady and I are fairly silent as well. He is exhausted, and zoned out playing some cell phone games while I blog. Diapers are running through the wash and after this, we have to online shop! We have some “super cash” from Old Navy that we have to use by tomorrow, so hopefully we’ll pick some good stuff with our tired minds.

It was a really good day, and we’ve opted to have relatively the same day tomorrow. Maybe just less work and more play. Or labor. All of the above would be welcomed. Our little girl would certainly be welcomed.

Ok, shopping it is. And a snack. I swear, I’ve had a popcorn kernel or something in the back of my throat for DAYS that I just can’t get rid of! Just keep eating…
