Hulu+

Stupid DVR didn't record my show but thankfully I have Hulu+ so I got to watch it anyways =)

case & screen protector

I was so worried I would drop my new fancy iPhone that I didn't use it for a week bc I was waiting for a case & screen protector.  I finally got them yesterday and set up my phone!  I'm so excited to play with and use my phone.  It seems really big so hopefully it doesn't fall out of my hand.

Good co-resies

Good food. Good friends. Good times. Good baby. It's hard to ask for much more than that. 

Amazon Prime

2 day shipping!!

Deanna from handy book

I tried a cleaning service today and Deanna from Handy book came to our house to clean. She was very friendly and considerate esp with Chloe so I'm glad it worked out. 

Amanda at Skanvas

Bc she was super professional and made chloe, Lola and myself very comfortable today. 

Good students

My 4th year student for the past 6 weeks was very impressive and in my opinion, very good.  I tried to encourage her to apply for residency but who knows.  It's always a pleasure working with good students.

Fall line up

All the TV shows are coming back and I'm very excited.  I'm thankful that I have things to watch, a TV to watch them on and a couch to fall asleep on.

Surprise packages

The previous email said my iPhone would arrive early October but today I got a confirmation that it's already shipped! It's arriving tomorrow!

6 hands

Today we fed Chloe rice cereal!  It was her first 'solids' meal and it got pretty messy.  She kept trying to grab the spoon or stick her hands in her mouth or move her mouth to the spoon.  Plus she was sliding down in the high chair.  We ended up having Alex hold her while I fed her and my mom would manager her arms or wipe her face if need be.  Overall it was an adventure so we'll see how it goes again soon!

New old dentist

Since I got married I tried 2 different dentists close to my house but after a huge dental debacle last month I decided to go back to my pre-wedding dentist in Los Alamitos. It's far but at least I know they do a good job. 

Happy movies

There are times for serious movies, times for action movies but sometimes you just want a simple happy movie.

Lola

My mom came over today to help me watch Chloe which was more like she watched Chloe and I got to take a nap.  THANK YOU MOM!!

Open appointments

I've witnessed first hand how much it sucks when your doctor doesn't have any open appointments for walk ins. Today I was able to call in the morning for a primary care appointment at 10:30! Hopefully this cough goes away soon!

Movie nights at home

We haven't watched a movie since Chloe was born so it's nice to relax at home and catch up with DVDs. 

Time to cook

It's hard to find time to cook when all I want to do is play with Chloe when she's awake. Today she went to sleep early so i got to spend time in the kitchen!

Quiet time

This morning Chloe woke up and just hung out in her crib for a good 15-20 minutes.  It's great when we can enjoy a little bit of quiet time in the morning.

Sunday mass

Wonder eyes

I love when Chloe looks at something or someone with such wonder in her eyes. She does it a lot when she looks up at the trees and when she looks at Alex. She is such a curious and sweet little person. I'm so blessed to be mommy to this child. 

Dr. Cousin

It's nice having a cousin who's an optometrist!

My days off

So I can recuperate, nap and best of all spend time with my baby!! I love these days. 

When Alex can pick up Chloe

I am able to relax driving home bc I know that Chloe's already at home and I don't have to rush to pick her up from daycare.  It doesn't happen too often bc of his schedule so I'm extra thankful when the timing works out.

Nasal Saline

My nose is stuffed up but when I use nasal saline and blow my nose it helps.  I can breathe!

Acetaminophen

My baby has a fever and super boogers but is all smiles and giggles still! She's so resilient it amazes me. I'm still thankful for APAP for keeping her fever in check. Relatively. 

Repurposed meal items

This goes for actual food too but today I blended the leftover strawberry lemonade with ice and it was delish!

BFFs

Today were having a baby shower for one of my BFFs, Jenny-Anne. I'm super excited to see them and celebrate and hang out! I'm thankful for the past 17 years of their friendship. 

A sleeping baby

Few things are more precious than a sleeping baby. I'm so thankful for the times that Chloe falls asleep easily and sleeps peacefully.

First look

One of my favorite times of the day is when Chloe wakes up for the day and sees me for the first time. Her smile is so big and she looks so genuinely happy to see me. I am so thankful that I get to live that moment every day.

Washed bottles

I was waiting til after dinner to wash Chloe's bottles but I ended up falling asleep on the couch instead. I woke up at 11, frantic bc I still had to wash her bottles. I walk into the kitchen and there are her bottles, washed and drying on the rack. WOO HOO!! I was so grateful that I didn't have to do them late at night.

Recovery day

I'm working on Thursday this week so I took today off!  It was a nice day to recover from the travelling and long weekend.  To bad Alex couldn't recover with us too!
