Sleep and a new adventure. Mia's new room will be painted and ready to move into by the 1st of February. And with that we take on Mia moving into a "big girl" bed. Guy and I are going out today to get her bed, we picked out a nice day bed with storage underneath. That way she is surrounded on 3 sides and I only have to worry about putting a rail on 1 side to keep her safe.
I am a little worried about the move and her adjusting to a big bed but I am sure she will do fine.
Challenges I am worried about:
1) Will she stay in/like this bed vs. her crib?
2) Will she go to sleep without a fuss or will the new bed be too exciting?
3) How to place the baby monitor camera, just on the bed or a whole room view?
4) What to do if she gets out of bed and starts playing? Day? Night?
5) Leaving her room, I think we have to out a baby gate in the doorway for safety sake.
6) Jumping on the bed.
I am very particular about Mia's sleep and this is a new chapter in that. For those who know us, we stick to a routine and schedule. Mia sleeps in her crib 99.9% of the time for naps and night time sleep. There are rare occasions when she is sick that she may end up in our bed. But I try to be strict about her being in her bed.
And she has become a creature of habit, I see people whose kids will sleep anywhere - the stroller, the car, a couch, chair, floor and occasional restaurant booth. Now aside from being a baby Mia has never fallen asleep randomly in her stroller or on a different piece of furniture other then her bed. As for the car that is usually a battle too - when we travel she will fall asleep in the car but for an hour at the most. My kid likes to sleep in a bed and my strict nap and sleep policy has made her that way. I know this limits my going out activities during the day and forces us to be home by 8pm but I feel its the best for her. At least I know she is getting a quality nap/sleep.
But now as we move to a twin bed I am wondering if that will change. I am hoping of for the best and a smooth transition! Keeping my fingers crossed and will keep you posted!

Warning hormonal woman on the loose!
Okay so today I should be surrounded by orange cones and blinking lights that say Stay back 100+ feet. I am on a major hormonal mood swing and everything is pissing me off.
I did not sleep well last night and got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I skipped the gym to get more sleep but I think that made me worse for wear as I the gym is my sanity saver. Hoping to get on the elliptical at home during Mia's nap today.
Anyway I am just plain moody and really about nothing important. My laptop and amazon.com mp3 downloader are not working and I am all in a huff about that. Guy is about to kill me because I won't stop yelling about it. He has real work and has no time for my moody outbursts about my music issues. He told me he was running out to a job and I told him to take my laptop with him put it under his truck tire and run it over. Needless to say he was not amused.
And everything with the house is getting to me as well - its been 7 1/2 months and I am about to crack. I want all the noise, dust and people GONE from my house. But we still have a ways to go. The lower level family room renovation hasn't even begun although I am told that will be completed before my little man arrives at the end of April. We'll see.
I am still waiting on Mia's new room to be completed - the trim needs to get done so it can get painted and then I can get her moved. Guy is home this weekend so his mission is to paint and we also made plans to get her new big girl bed. My goal is to get her setup in there before the 1st of February. And this morning my contractor said he would try to get to the trim Friday....GULP?! I emailed Guy and said it has to get done, because if we don't get her room painted this weekend then it will be at least another 2 weeks since Guy will be gone for Snowmobiling the following weekend.
I am nesting hormonal and I come from a long line of people who when they want something done they want it done immediately and if it doesn't get done right away they get mad and then do it themselves. Unfortunately I can't paint while pregnant and I am not a carpenter. So I am stuck.
Those are my 2 big griefs today which are really minor in the grand scheme of things. I am going to go have a snack and relax for a few mins and "Reboot" myself.

UPDATE: I was promised the trim in Mia's room would get done this week! And my wonderful husband watched Mia so I could go to the gym mid-day. He understands my sanity needs saving! Thankful everyday for him.

Snowy weekend, little sleep...
I'm not lost I promise, just slacking off. Last week totally got away from and I decided on Thursday morning to tag along with Guy to Old Forge for the weekend. Which meant buying food, doing laundry, packing for Guy, Mia and myself, and squeaking in our Little Gym class all before 1pm when we hit the road. It was a nice weekend for the most part, the guys got snow so the riding was good. I got to sit by the warm fire and play with Mia, which was nice for me.
Although I didn't sleep much as our bed there is not as comfortable for me and I can't sleep unless I know everyone is home. So I toss and turn listening for snowmobiles to return to the house. It doesn't help either that they decide to come back staggered - think - 2:20am......2:45am.....3:05am. REALLY? I know what the hell are they doing out at these crazy hours?
So in reality I cat napped all night until after 3 - then Mia got up at 7am. The other 2 nights were not as bad but one of them Mia decided not sleep and my getting comfortable was also a problem. This makes for a tired little mama. Thankfully I got some much needed sleep last night back home in my Connecticut bed, I went to bed at 9pm and slept until 8am - not solid sleep, of course I tossed and turned but it was definitely satisfying and restful! Already thinking about nap time today!

No news is good news?
I seriously have nothing to blog about right now, other then my usual daily hum drums. January is always a bummer month for me as we come down from all the holiday excitement and Guy disappears into the world of Work and Snowmobiling. Thankfully we are already half way through the month.
Let's see...today we woke up to a tiny bit of snow, not enough to even make it look pretty outside. I was disappointed, I want at least a little snow this winter. I always enjoy being indoors watching the flakes fall and sipping some tea. Plus during the week it presents a possible Snow Day for 3 - where Guy works from home and we get extra time with him. Love the thought of that.
On the baby front, he is doing well, growing and making himself all kinds if comfortable and making me all kinds of uncomfortable! Sleeping has become a challenge and I am driving Guy crazy. He expressed to me how well he sleeps while he is way as he doesn't have me annoying him in bed all night. (Gee thanks honey, you try sleeping with a 10 lb basketball under your shirt!) I also have a bad case of heart burn that can last all day for days at a time. This makes me hopeful for the baby to come out with a head of hair! The sciatica is also getting to me on some days where I am just in so much pain I just want to lay down and do nothing. As if! I am still going to the gym 5 days a week and trying to keep the rest of me in shape, the stares at the gym are starting to get under my skin. I wish more people knew the exercise during pregnancy is encouraged!
Mia is doing great. Finally getting over her cold - 2nd one in the last month! She is still coughing a little but its not keeping her up at night. She is so funny and smart, a little sponge who retains everything. She loves to dance and sing, and has become quite entertaining. Although latley she has also become clumsy, seems to be spilling cereal and goldfish crackers anytime I give her a small bowl of either. And then she never wants to help clean it up, she is also becming a little belligerent the days. I am thinking about investing in some of those gyro no spill bowls to avoid arguments and cleaning up Capn' Crunch by myself.
I have also been cooking a lot lately, its rare that we go out anymore, especially with Mia. So we tend to eat home most nights. But I am getting sick of cooking the same thing. I need to expand but I want easy things. I am trying to use my crockpot more often and perusing the internet for ideas as well. I made chicken pot pie on Sunday which came out really good and was super easy. (http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/classic-chicken-pot-pie/1401d418-ac0b-4b50-ad09-c6f1243fb992/) I used a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. Not sure what else I have planned this week but I am thinking baked eggplant parmesan one night and chicken cutlets with rice and green beans another night.
As for date night, I can't remember when we even had a date night for 2, but I am thinking it was way back in the beginning of December, well over a month ago. And I am getting antsy with wanting alone adult time with Guy, but as you know its Snowmobile season so he is off and running on the weekends and working like crazy during the week so that leaves no time for adult time. Seriously we've been in bed by 9-9:30 most nights. Ahh the life of toddler parents! And lets face it I am not as fun because I can't drink and I am always tired. Looking forward to getting my groove back this summer!
Well that just a little something about the nothing that I have going on. Will try to blog about my preschool research and applications this week.

Being inappropriate for the world to see.
So here it is and I am just going to lay it out there - airing out your grievances with someone publicly on the internet is not at all cool. If you have an issue with someone, don't run to facebook or twitter and put them on blast. (I promise I am not doing the same here).
Frankly its really petty and childish, the grown up way to resolve an issue with someone is to confront them privately via email, text, phone call or in person. Not to cry to everyone and play the poor me game so and so pissed me off etc.
Private communication was designed so that both parties can effectively communicate without involving the everyone and their mother. The internet is not just people you know, its the WHOLE WIDE WORLD!
Sorry for this brief soap box blog, something irritated me and I had to get it off my chest (without the name calling and accusations). Yes I am 6 months preggo and hormonal so I have a short fuse these days and have no room for drama in my life.
Just because you have to ability to live out every aspect of your life on the internet doesn't mean you should, that goes for over-sharing as well.

Oh the weather outside is weather...
It's that magical time of year - Snowmobile Season!!! Now normally I would be super excited as most of snowmobiliers are awaiting that first big snowfall but this year I am a little sad as I cannot ride. This would have been my 10th season and unfortunately I have to sit it out. I made a promise to my snowmobile that I would be back and ready to ride next year!
However the riding thus far has been mediocre to poor with a huge lack of snow. As we creep further into January though there is the promise of more snow on the horizon and hopefully some cold temps to freeze up the lakes. And so now I have to deal with the weekend departures of my husband. So far he has the next 2 weekends planned away and I am chilling my preggo self at home with Miss Mia.
I try very hard not to give him a hard time about leaving as I know this is his favorite thing to do and he works very hard so he is entitled to enjoy this very short season of snow. But I am also a little hormonal and he is working a lot (yesterday 7am-9pm) so we have very little time together. This time of the year always bums me out a little because I see very little of Guy. Before we had kids we spent every weekend in the Adirondacks from December to the end of March. Now that we have Mia its harder for me to get away and when we bring her I have to ensure there is someone there to watch her if I want to go ride. The last 2 seasons I have put a lot less mileage on, although last season I did get 3 weekends away that were great!
Another missing component this year is my Lucky, whenever Guy was away I always had him to snuggle with and give me that extra love and companionship when I needed it and this year I don't have him. I have noticed myself feeling sad about him the last few days as we near the start of Guy's snowmobile weekends away. I did however have a dream about him last night, where I snuggled him close and it was much needed, I woke up happy this morning but still with a heavy heart. Insert Melissa wanting another dog sentence here.
Needless to say I am sure this weekend will be a bit of challenge for me with being alone and being hormonal! I have made plans with the girls Friday night and will try to keep busy as I usually do. I am sure my nesting will help me keep busy with cleaning and organizing, as my house is still on its head!

Today is a gift that's why they call is the present!
Gifts and cards...do you put thought into these things or just slap something together. For me most of the time I try to find a gift that I know the person will really like, sometimes when I am in a pinch I will just get a quick suitable gift.
Truly though I enjoy buying gifts that I think people will appreciate. I listen for clues, make mental notes and keep them stored in my brain, which is not as sharp as it used to be unfortunately. Here are some examples of my Christmas gifts this year: Guy's step father is really into graffiti art and I found a cocktail shaker that looked like a spray paint graffiti can, side note he and Guy's mom also enjoy the occasional cocktail. Dual functioning gift! Guy's mom also really likes the Wizard of Oz Ruby slippers, so this year I got her socks that look like the ruby slippers, too cute! My mom is really into Chickens so this year I found some cute plates and bowls with a country Chicken pattern on them and scooped them up. She had a luncheon yesterday and called to tell me how perfect they worked out for her guests! Bonus!
I get excited when I find things that I think are the perfect gift, I also think that's why I start shopping way in advance, I peruse catalogs, make notes, throughout the year for birthdays and Christmas. I am the same way with cards. I will buy a birthday card and hang onto it for 9 months because I think its cute. The trouble with this is that sometimes I forget to give it and then I end up hanging onto it for another year. I also did just buy a gift for a wedding shower this spring - I have to remember where I put it when the time comes!
But don't get me wrong about gifts, I am all for gift cards and things like that. I do buy gift cards for the hard to buy for or the people that really don't need anything. At least I know with a gift card it will go to good use. I myself got several this Christmas and can't wait to use them - oh yeah I am talking about you Starbucks and Manicure/pedicure!
Am I the only person who enjoys gift shopping?? Sometimes I wonder! xoxo - Mellycup

A new year start and nesting go hand in hand.
I think the nesting phase has already settled in, as we arrived home Monday night and I have been all over the house trying to get things in order.
Yesterday I went through all the Christmas gifts and separated them by recipient and put them away as necessary. I even built the entryway bench that Guy gave me. Although I almost threw it out on the front lawn. Worst directions ever and the easy to assemble promise on the box was a lie. Every time I look at that thing I am going to be pissed off for a while.
I also un-decorated the house and stored away all the Christmas stuff. Mia seemed a little confused by this but she gladly went along and said "Bye Santa!" to the Santa statue we put by our fireplace. I know it will be back out before you know it. I can only imagine how fast time will fly when I have two little darlings!
Other things I did include, a few loads of laundry, washed all the dishes, cleaned out the medicine and vitamin baskets that I keep in one of my kitchen cabinets. Finally tossed all the expired items and reorganized everything so now tums, children's advil, echinachea and anything else one might need are all stored in one common place, as I kept stuffed things in random places to handle basket overflow.
Now I stare at my cluttered lower level pray that we can make a dent in it soon and get Guy's office fully moved. It's driving me crazy! I am sure we will take a lot of trash out of there, at least that is what I am hoping for.
Will keep you posted on the progress! xoxo - Mellycup

And I'm feeling good...
Happy New Year! 2012! I cannot believe how fast time if getting away from me. Last year I wrote 84 blog posts after I had decided mid-year that I was going to start blogging more. I guess that was huge improvement over my 7 blog posts in 2010. I am hoping for more posts this year but I may have a lull when my baby boy arrives in April and I will be a mother of 2! Toddler and a newborn - a whole other ball of wax I am anticipating.
January is going to be busy month for us, we are wrapping up our holiday week in the Adirondacks and soon it will be back to the real world in CT. Our renovation is just about complete and now we have to shift the house around. December was a huge setback for us and we didn't get much done due to the holidays, plus Guy was ridiculously busy so he had little time to focus on the house.
Hopefully he will be able to get the office completely moved to the new space and then the rest of the house can begin get back in order. We decided to put the baby in Mia's room and move her to our old bedroom which is full of toys, couches and a tv currently. Once Guy moves his office I am hoping to get all that stuff moved into the lower level then get Mia's new room painted and assembled complete with a big girl bed!
We decided against a toddler bed and are getting her into a twin bed. I have no idea how this is going to work out but I am hoping it will be a smooth transition. Then I have to address the nursery and make the switch from girl colors to boy colors, pick out a dresser and settle on curtains etc.
I also have to get preschool visits lined up so we can make a decision and get signed up for Mia come September. I have mixed emotions about her going to preschool, at that point she will be almost 3 (sigh) and I know she will absolutely love and thrive in preschool. I think it will be harder for me, Mia has never been in daycare and has only stayed with family members so the thought of me dropping her off somewhere and leaving totally freaks me out. There will definitely be a lot of tears on my part.
All in all I know that 2012 will breeze by in the blink of an eye becuase we have so much to look forward too and before you know it I will be sitting here in January of 2013 bragging about my darling little girl and handsome baby boy.
Wishing you all a wonderful, happy, peaceful and properous 2012!

We decided against a toddler bed and are getting her into a twin bed. I have no idea how this is going to work out but I am hoping it will be a smooth transition. Then I have to address the nursery and make the switch from girl colors to boy colors, pick out a dresser and settle on curtains etc.
I also have to get preschool visits lined up so we can make a decision and get signed up for Mia come September. I have mixed emotions about her going to preschool, at that point she will be almost 3 (sigh) and I know she will absolutely love and thrive in preschool. I think it will be harder for me, Mia has never been in daycare and has only stayed with family members so the thought of me dropping her off somewhere and leaving totally freaks me out. There will definitely be a lot of tears on my part.
All in all I know that 2012 will breeze by in the blink of an eye becuase we have so much to look forward too and before you know it I will be sitting here in January of 2013 bragging about my darling little girl and handsome baby boy.
Wishing you all a wonderful, happy, peaceful and properous 2012!
