l] 1. conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural.So there IS such thing as 'normal'. Well I would love to see it right now. I think I might have seen it today, or got somewhat close to it.
My husband has been amazing through all of this. I just feel like crap in the morning partly because of my headaches. If I sit up/stand up too fast I get really dizzy and my headache turns into a migraine pretty much instantly. So he has been the one getting up with our son in the morning and gives me a few extra minutes alone in bed to slowly get to my feet. Last night I felt I wouldn't need his help, and we agreed he would get to sleep in this morning while I got up with our son instead. I really wanted to do that for him. But of course, out of all nights/mornings to pick it, I had to have a worse one yet. I didn't get up...
After I did finally get up, I tried to be normal. I tried to think of what would I normally do if I wasn't pregnant, or if I had a 'normal' pregnancy. I called Kid's Hair Inc. in St Cloud to make an appointment for Paighton's FIRST haircut. He was starting to look like a girl, or a rough hockey player. People were starting to tease me, but I just didn't want to cut of those gorgeous blonde curls!! He surprisingly did better than I thought he would. Of course he was scared to sit on the chair, and even more scare to get buckled in. All thanks to our former daycare for keeping him tied to a chair all day, I now have to help him learn and understand he will not be left there all day and it will not hurt him. We got past that with suckers and bubbles. We didn't try to put the cape on, he was calm, and why change that? He even let the lady spray his head with water, AND use the buzz clippers on his neck! I was so proud of my blonde angel! He looked like a different kid when he was done, I wasn't sure if he was still mine! He is so handsome, and looks more like a toddler now as opposed to a baby. I am sad my sweet little baby is growing up so fast.
Here is the before...
Here is his end result...
He has Fo-hawk!! Is that how you spell it? I like it because it isn't really a mohawk, its only there if I want to style it that way. Otherwise, its just a 'normal' little boy's haircut. So precious, he is trying to blow bubbles.After his haircut, we went to my husband's parents' house to show off his new do, even though it was already 1 hour past his nap time. He did very well for being so tired. He is such a good little boy.
After nap and dinner, my husband stayed home to measure the yard for our fence while Paighton and I went out to my mom's house to show off his new do, yet again, 30 minutes before bedtime. I don't know why I cut things so close to important time schedules. I usually don't. Then we went out to my aunt and uncle's place. It was nice to see family I don't see that often, and talk about things. Things I didn't really want to talk about, but it helps and I notice I get better at it as time goes by. I even laughed. I felt normal. As normal as I could get. I even ate ice cream cake from Dairy Queen, regardless of my dairy allergy. My taste buds craved it, so I gave in.
I think that is a typical day for a normal family on a Saturday. I wonder what tomorrow will bring...
