So we went to the fall fling in Wise, VA on Saturday. I really think the kids had a blast! I know I did. There was a ton to do and see. Emily made some sand art and a tie-dye shirt. We made sure to make a monkey sand art thing for Zoe too. We also all got to ride on top of a fire truck around town. It was a blast and so cool to see the town from that high up and the breeze felt great because it was in the mid 80's and very sunny! We got some great lemonade, but not nearly as good as Josh's. And I also got my favorite kettle corn straight out of the kettle. It was so good to eat it nice and warm still, it just melted in your mouth.
Zoe is growing like a weed. I weighed myself and then weighed myself holding her and she weighs 10 and half pounds. And I am guessing around 22-23 inches long. She was 7 lbs at her 2 weeks appt so if she continues to grow at this rate then by her 2 month appt on the 22nd she should be around 11 lbs! That is 4 lbs in a month and a half! I think I need to stop spiking my milk with all that miracle grow. lol I can't wait to see how big she actually is. I am also kind of interested to see Emily's reaction to Zoe getting shots. She is so loving and protective I wonder if she will get mad at the nurses or just try to comfort Zoe.
And I finally got a jar to be able to put all of the Hershey kisses in for Emily to understand how long Josh is going to be gone and I think she is getting it. She can now physically see how long it is going to be, and I really think it is helping. She still misses him a lot and says it quite a few times a day but I think she can now get the fact that he will be home and she can kind of see when. I also think she likes the fact that she knows that every day she knows she is going to get some chocolate. ;) I did it for when he is going to come home for R&R for a couple of reasons. 1. I am pretty sure that the chocolate on the bottom would be not so yummy after a year. lol 2. I think it might be some what confusing to say "here is 300 and some odd pieces of candy for when he comes home", but then have him come home in the middle. Make is seem a little easier on her. And I didn't realize how little space that amount of candy would take up. It really wasn't all that much. I had thought that I would need a huge jar, but really I used just a medium size one. And 183 pieces of candy really don't look like that many. It kinda makes me feel better about when he will be home too. I am also going to order two Daddy Dolls (thank you Megan for the suggestion!) for Emily and Zoe. I think that this will help Emily as well because she can carry him around and show him all sorts of things. I can see her playing with that doll all the time.
The exercises are going well. I am not feeling so out of shape and it has only been 4 days. But I have actually gained 3 lbs since I started lol. But then again I weighed my self in the morning that first time and at night today. I am hoping that is what made the big difference. I had also just finished dinner. And I was wearing jeans and a sweat shirt. I am trying to find all sorts of reasons as to why I have gained. I will weigh again in the morning in the same clothes as previous and hopefully it will be nicer to me. ;)
And now I am off to bed. I am hoping Zoe will be nice to me and give me some good sleep tonight.
P.S. I love you babe! I hope everything went good today. Be safe and remember that the girls and I will love you forever! xoxoxoxoxoxo
