The Daily Hailey

Not in order of importance, obviously 😉

I’ve had a couple of “this is what I’m going to blog about today” moments but they keep changing. So you’re all getting a bit of a mixed bag.

Last night, I finally decided to let go of a pair of denim maternity shorts I ordered a while back. They fit me funny when I ordered them, so I exchanged them through the mail for a size smaller. When I received the second pair, they still fit wrong. Soon after that happened, I lost our baby. Therefore, the stupid big shorts have been sitting on our kitchen island ever since. I could still exchange them for another size, and maybe that size would be bang on. But I bit the bullet and asked Brady to just mail them back. The reality is they may very well get worn down the road, but not for a couple of years. And why hang onto them for so long when I can just buy a different pair when the time comes? If I get pregnant anytime in the next few months, I will have a winter baby. So I wouldn’t AT ALL be showing or needing maternity stuff in summer. Its weird to talk about trying to conceive on here, haha! Thats never been something I’ve been public about. But its not like you guys think we’re not going to try again. We aren’t yet, and I’m not going to announce it when we are, haha! But we obviously will. Anyway, after that bummer of giving back my maternity clothes, I was happy to receive my new Keurig Rivo!! So one good parcel cancels out the bad one, right?

I started some tax stuff today.

Not tons, but I had some quiet moments while the little boys napped, and I got some of the prep work done anyway. I’ve been doing more of Brady’s office stuff recently and I have decided that I HATE the spreadsheets that he uses! Too many boxes that are never ever filled, and if I ever had to print them off, each page would be like four sheets of tiny print. No good. So a while back, I redid a couple of them, and since doing some of this prep work, I know more ways to improve them and make them more efficient. So I’m calling success on my first attempt at summarizing our year, but anticipating it being much smoother next year.

Aaaaand Laela. Laela tossed it all again this morning. She seemed ok when I got her up from bed, and announced excitedly that she hadn’t “fwowed up or pooped on anyfing!” It was pretty adorable. However, after breakfast, she coughed suspiciously when getting down from the table. I wasn’t instantly beside her, so I dove for a bucket (we have a few floating around the house at the moment) and asked her to “hang on!” She had definitely coughed out a bit but the bomb dropped as soon as I had the bucket under her chin. That girl let fly, let me tell you. Now Laela is SO chill in this situation. I asked her if she was ok, and she chirped “ya!” before releasing another bomb. Her biggest issue with barfing is the stinking leftovers that dribble down her chin. So as soon as she started up, I asked Dekker if he could go get a kleenex. He responded with “Help is on the way!” I cleaned up Laela’s chin and she assured me she was done for the moment. “Would you dump dis out please mommy?” she asks, eyeing her bucket with distain. Of course I did, and she went to rest on the couch for the morning.

Seriously, who looks this clear after barfing her guts out??

She has since eaten lunch, and while she continues to tell me she’s feeling good, she’s got those suspicious burps and breathing going on that makes me think there’s more to come :/ Sooooo we’ll anticipate that.

Time to get off my butt and read a story to Laela, as she has picked a book and is now heavy breathing beside me, waiting. 👀 Its actually super nerve wracking…
