ugh school....

Well this weekend ended up going really good. On Sunday Jason and I and Brookie went to the Baby Expo at the Bayside Expo Center in Boston. The drive there was really nice, I love seeing Boston, and Brookie did really well in the car. When we got there, there were babies and strollers everywhere, it was hilarious! I had gotten 5 free passes to the expo from Babies R Us, but because Ayden was sick, Tarah and her cousin weren't able to come with us. As we were walking from the parking lot to the building, three ladies commented on how cute Brooke was. I gave them the extra 3 free passes, so at least they didn't go to waste.

When we got into the building, there were so many babies! There were stands everywhere, it was incredible! I must have entered a million sweepstakes and raffles, and received a million free samples of products! We did buy Brookie one thing: a cd that was personalized to sing her name in every song. The cd is really nice and relaxing, and very calming.

There were so many babies there, it was so cute! Brookie was so good, she didn't fuss at all! She just kept looking around at the other babies and smiling.  They even had tents set up for nursing mothers, which came in handy when Brookie got hungry. They also had races for crawling babies, which was hilarious to watch! We almost died of laughter as the parents tried everything to get their babies to crawl, it was so funny!

While we were there I met up with a mom that I talk to online and her beautiful baby boy, who is Brooke's age.  She seemed really cool and nice. Unfortunatly, we had to leave soon after she got there, which was disapointing, because I really wanted to hang out with her.

We got back late and Brookie just got really really cranky. My mom gave her a bath and that seemed to help a lot.  Then I put in the cd that I bought her and we danced to the first song, and then I started to nurse her. By the time the third song was over, she was sound asleep. I think I am going to find this cd very useful, lol!

It was about 9pm when I got Brookie to bed, and I went through my schoolwork and to my horror realized that I had a 20 page paper due Tuesday, and I hadn't even started it! Thank God for Jason, he kept me from panicking and encouraged me to get started. When I got to bed around 2 am, I had six pages done.

Monday school was good, then I came home and played with Brooke until Jason got home. I went to Weight Watchers, and got weighed in. I lost 3.8 lbs in one week, YAHOO!
