I SO excited to announce that we are done with baby formula. We had a constant 23.5 months using the stuff and I'm excited to have that extra money back in our pockets! Today will be Sterling's first day without any formula. We did the gradual decrease method I used with Xander for Sterling as well. The past week she has been at 2 ounces of formula and the rest whole milk and has done well. She did throw up yesterday afternoon, but I'm not sure if that's from being sick or from the whole milk. I'm thinking being sick. When I was a kid, I was allergic to milk, so it's in the back of my head and keeping an eye on her. But, like I said, so far so good!
Baby girl is also turning ONE on Sunday! We're not having a party, just decorating and celebrating as a family, like we did with Xander. Keeping it simple and at home. We may decide to have a party for both of them later, but haven't decided yet.
I worked on more applique yesterday. Fun times. I finished a birthday shirt for Sterling. Nothing fancy, just simple, but still cute. I also finished 2 Easter shirts for Sterling and 1 for Xander. I started working on Xander a big brother shirt, but hubby came home and I had to put it all away. He's a guy that does not like the mess that comes along with my fun projects. I'll post pictures later, I'm thinking I'm going to do more work today.
Yesterday we had an unexpected snow storm. It left about 6 inches, closing schools early and releasing work personnel early. Because we live on base, Nick is the lucky one to be the last to leave work on these days. Which is fine by me, especially when i have a project going on.
The kids and I have been sick for 8 days now. Nick stayed home from work on Monday to "help", but I'm not too sure he helped much. Saturday was my worst day. I woke up around 1 am to the stomach bug. I was miserable all day. My sweet hubby wouldn't go out to get me some meds, because he's that guy that also don't like crowds and people, so I had to suffer through the day because I couldn't trust my stomach to leave the house and get some myself. For the past 2 days I've had a terrible cough. It's keeping him up at night and tired during the day. Pay back, lol! It seems around 4 am is when I start having a terrible cough attack and it don't stop. Nothing helps. I'm too stubborn to go to the doctor though, so it's my own fault. I just feel that you should only go to the doctor if it's severe because anytime we go to the doctors we always come back worse than we went.
We're making progress with Sterling walking. She's letting go for a few seconds and has even taken 3 steps without holding on. I'm hoping she'll be walking by Easter because we're having an Easter egg hunt with our friends and I think it would be cute if she was walking to find her eggs. But if not, she'll still be the cutest thing scooting on her butt...and ruining her cute Easter dress.
Move update: We received our lease agreement on the home we will be renting. Just have to sign and send it back, but I think it's a done deal. Check!
Have a great day!
