I had to skip Zumba because of the no sleep and it was still quite stormy and I didn't want to drive in terrible weather combined with school and work traffic. Eis woke up around 0845 or so and my dad came and got her, while I kept dozing. I finally got up at 0945, since I had to shower before I left for rehab.
I dried my hair only a bit, dressed, then came into the nursery and saw my dad in the glider with the boppy and Eis sleeping in his arms. It was sweet. However, she sensed me and was hungry. My dad passed her over and went to enjoy a few minutes of peace before he got her back. I nursed her, then put her down to finish/start her nap.
Rehab was great, today. I did the 10 minutes of side-stepping on the treadmill, then she worked out the muscles in my mid-back. She straightened me out and mashed me back into place, then I did 10 minutes on the "total gym," which caused some muscle in my lower back to ache, so she took me back to the table. I laid on my side and she mashed on something that was insanely tight and cranky. She checked the other side, which wasn't too bad, then she had me twist and make sure everything was ok. Finally, she had me lay on my back and use a band and strengthen my shoulders and shoulder blades, since my upper back is still so weak.
I had to stop and get gas on the way home, since I was out. The 7-11 was next door to the Randalls in Terry Town, so I ran in and got my parents some milk, since they were out. Despite it being a small Randalls, they had a lot of things that our big HEB doesn't have, such as gallon-sized Lactaid. They also had a Lucerne brand of lactose-free milk, which HEB doesn't carry. Their tea and coffee selection seemed larger and I can't remember what else they had, but I was impressed.
Eis took a few naps throughout the day, but they were all short and she was fussy half of the time she was awake. I made an au gratin ham potpie for dinner, which was delicious -- a recipe I think Ty would like, unlike yesterday. Don't get me wrong, the beef burgundy baskets from yesterday were divine, but I don't think Tyler would have liked them. I don't know how he would have felt about the chunks of onion, though I think he may be ok with the mushrooms... it's hard to tell. I loved it and thought it would be a great meal to make for company. Tomorrow will be scalloped chicken supper -- hopefully it'll be as good as last night and tonight's dinners.
I fed Eis her carrots while we ate dinner, but she didn't eat as much as usual. After dinner, I showed my mom nine items from Children's Place (online) that I thought were cute. She had forgotten to peruse when the sale was 40-50% off, but things were still 25% off, which wasn't terrible. She ended up agreeing to buy the clothes, which came out to about $75 including tax. She's so generous! It's items for this summer, this fall, next winter, and next spring. Though everything was $11 or less, I am confident that Tyler and I will be buying Eisley's clothes at Target, since they have many things for $5, which will be plenty for us.
There was one outfit on Zulily -- a site I need to stop looking at -- that was so freaking adorable. I imagine her running around in it with her chunky little legs:
As my mom held her, I put my finger in her mouth, since she likes to chew on it and she bit down and I felt pain. I realised at that moment, she was getting her first tooth. That is exciting, but it sucks, since she is so incredibly fussy and screams like a banshee when it comes time to sleep. I hope this ends quick.
