Big Changes

Well....It is a sad sad day. Today was my OFFICIAL last day with my Hazel. I was granted two extra days this week to take care of her before her days at day care begin.

I was very thankful for those two days. She was so happy and chatty. I love it when she is all smiles for you all day. I don't care how much she spits up...it's totally worth it. Today she had perfect aim and threw up right down the front of my shirt. Didn't even get it on herself. It was a nice, warm, gooey, prune juicy farewell present.

I'm going to miss her and my time spent with her so much. I'm going to miss all the changes that she will be experiencing while she is away at daycare. But I am so very thankful to have been able to spend the time with her that I have. I will hold it very dear to my heart and Hazel has a very special place in her Aunt Alison's life.

I think I might start to cry....
Let's move on to some other changes..
Andy has just removed the last of the base boards in our living room and has started taking up the tile that was by our front door. Tomorrow he is installing hardwood floors.
YAY!
We painted the Walls "Moonlite Yellow" and it is so cheery and happy. I love it. We are getting the house ready and making room for the 4th member of our family. Frijole.
Speaking of Frijole...time is ticking away fast. I am going to the doctor once a week now. Starting next week she is going to be checking my cervix to "see if anything is happening" That is when you know it's getting close. I'm not exactly "ready" but my body would disagree vehemently with me. I have reached new levels of discomfort. I could list my complaints but I will save that for another day. And I don't think people really care about my whining. I try really hard not to complain about the same thing day after day and I try to keep my moaning and groaning to myself.

Other big changes.....Drew is in 7th grade now. She will be 13 in November. She was in 4th grade when I met her. She was an actual "little girl". Not anymore...her looks have matured so much in just one year. I don't remember changes being that drastic when I was 12 going on 13. But then again I didn't have the perspective my parents did. At least Andy and I are still "cool" in her eyes. I try not to be a fuddy-duddy but sometimes I can't help it. At least I still get a hug, a kiss and an I love you when I drop her off at school.

There are many things going on this year....and many things that have already happened. 2010 has been a year of life changes of all shapes and sizes.
And there are many more to come.....
