catch up

Ok, I know I haven't written in a few days, so here is a little catch up.

Jason's car was able to be repaired after all. It cost $200, but at least it bought us some time before we have to buy a new one.

We took my car to be inspected, and found all sorts of problems with it. The tailight is out, the breaks have to be fixed ($325), it needs a tune up ($500), they charged me a $40 diagnostic fee, and it needed an oil change ($30). We told them to just give me the oil change. We're going to try to find somewhere cheaper to fix it.

Well Monday I am going to my first Weight Watchers meeting. I was going to sign up for the online version, but it is not suitable for nursing mothers, so I have to do the live meetings and such. I'm actually excited. If I lose 2 lbs a week up to my wedding, then I will be down to 35 lbs, yay!

What else....hmmm....well yesterday Brooke made the biggest mess I have ever seen! She pooped out the side of her diaper, all over her legs and feet, and all over the floor! Very messy!

Oh, yesterday I brought Brooke for her 6th month checkup at the doctors. She weighs 15 lbs 4 oz and is 28 inches long. The doctor said she will most likely be a tall girl. She also said that Brooke is very healthy and strong and doing beautifully.  She gave us a free book, told us to make sure to read to Brooke every day, and told me I was doing fine with my method of introducing solid foods.  Then the nurse came in to give Brooke her three shots. Brooke started screaming right away, and held out her hands for me to pick her up, but when I went to pick her up, the nurse yelled at me because she hadn't put the band-aids on her yet! I picked her up anyway, there was no way I was going to leave my baby screaming like that! Some people are really irritating!

I've been really busy trying to catch up on all my schoolwork, and I have lots of more to do. So, I must go. Bye!
