I finally made the time to create a blog. I have been following Mandy's blog for a while and I always told myself that I ought to make one, but I never have. So today, I can check one thing off the to-do list.
Casey is drilling wheat today and Tessa and I are hanging out at the house. I am supposed to be cleaning (that was my excuse for not helping Casey fill up the drill), but instead, Tessa is sleeping on my lap and I'm cruizing the internet. I really had good intentions to do the dishes and pick up the living room. But I sat down in the chair to feed Tess and this is where she fell asleep. It's funny to me that she gets cranky during the day and she wants to take a nap on my lap sucking on her passifier and holding my thumb, but when she gets cranky in the evenings, she wants to lay down in her crib and go to bed. I would love to move her to her crib now, but I would probably wake her up and I really do not think that she has been getting enough sleep lately. It seems that if she gets plenty of rest during the day, then shee sleeps well at night too. But if she misses her daytime naps, then she has a hard time sleeping through the night. Maybe she takes after me. I love naps and I love sleep in general. I can take a two hour nap in the afternoon then sleep for 10 hours that night. Casey is just the opposite. If he takes a nap he is tired for the rest of the day and has a hard time going to sleep that night.
On to other things, I called the doctor's office today to schedule Tessa's four month shots. I have been putting them off for a month and even now I'm still dreading them. I have a Doctor's appointment at 2:20 on Monday the 5th. She had such a hard time with her two month shots that she cried for three days strait and was extremely sore for a week. I can handle her normal fits and crying, but when my little girl is crying from pain and is completely miserable, I have to hand her to Casey. He is much better at that kind of stuff. When she recieved her first round of shots, Casey came home to both Tessa and I crying on the couch. I went outside for a few minutes and when I came back. Tessa was all wrapped up and asleep in her Daddy's arms and he was playing on the internet. I was so relieved that she was finally asleep and that he was home for the evening. I am hoping that her four month shots will not be so bad because she is older now. But no matter how she reacts to them, she needs them. I have heard terrible stories of whooping caugh and polio, and I would much rather her be vaccinated than to have to face the terrible consiquences of a preventable sickness.
We have bought our first milk goat. We picked her up yesterday and she is so sweet. Her name is Sugar and we really like her so far. But I don't think that she likes us. She doesnt have any friends here and she is always yelling. We feel sorry for her. So the people who sold her to us also have her sister for sale who's name is Spice. Sugar&Spice I love it!! Anyhow, after seeing her so sad, we are going to try to buy Spice, too. They said they would make us a deal if we took both of them. I have called the original owners and they havent called back yet. But maybe tonight we can go pick up Spice if they still have her for sale. I like the idea of keeping siblings together.
Well, Tessa is awake again. So I'm going to try to let her play in the floor and pick up the house a little. I hope you are having a great day!!
