Yay it's spring!

So it's finally springtime.

Jayda is 8 months old tomorrow, and it feels like it was just yesterday that my OB was telling me to go into L&D tomorrow morning to be induced. Time has definitely flown. Jayda rolls front to back, back to front, grabs things she wants, sometimes holds her bottle, has baby food (sometimes with rice, sometimes not) 3 times a day and a bottle about 5-7 times a day. She has seven teeth... Yep, I said seven! Four on top, three on bottom. She scoots along on the floor, going after whatever she wants, and she pulls herself up in the crib... We've had to lower the crib twice. She pulls herself up to standing up. Jayda has kind of figured out how to walk along the crib, but I'm hoping she holds off just a little bit longer on walking.. I'm not ready for a mobile baby yet!

Casey's job at Nissan is going along well... he's been there for about 2 1/2-3 months, I think. We are saving up to hopefully move out by Jayda's birthday, if not a couple weeks after. Definitely by Halloween. I hope. I may have to strangle a teddy bear or something if we're not (totally kidding, by the way).

Lately I've noticed just how down I feel.. and that it's been constant since about January. I have a small feeling that I might be getting PPD, finally, after 8 months. I'm probably going to call my OB tomorrow and see if he can help me, or if he can point me into the direction of someone who can. I was going to ask the pediatrician we saw the other day (ear infection #3 or 4), but I was more worried about Jayda's well being.

My sad attempt at weight loss hasn't been working out well. I forget to track my calorie intake, I don't get to go walking like I want and I don't get to work out like I want. *sigh* I knew this was going to be hard, but it's even harder when a beautiful little girl is so mommy needy... there is only so much I can do while packing her around. I need to look up exercises I can do with her in the Moby wrap.

I suppose that's it for now. Hopefully I'll update later.
