March Recap

2018 is starting to look up for me and my family! March is always a busy month for us and it’s more towards the end of March with all the birthdays, our Anniversary, spring break, etc. Whose idea was it to get married the week of spring break anyways, oh that’s right me! We were really focused on Audrey’s weight this past month and I’m so happy that she has tripled in her weight percentile!!

Ever since I went back to work I have really struggled with just wanting to spend some more time with my babies. I talked to my supervisor about going part time in the future and using up the rest of my FMLA days that I had but didn’t use for maternity leave. I have 4 unused days that I have been using sparingly. I was also addressed about a new position that will eventually lead me to a part time gig! I don’t start until May 1^st but I couldn’t be more excited about this opportunity.

Chad had a business trip in the middle of March which left me by myself with both babies. I managed 1 night by myself just fine but then I recruited my mom to help out for another night. I’ve always had a huge respect for single parents but boy with that experience did it just double.

Chad has always been a HUGE movie person but I’ve never been much of one, it’s hard for me to sit still for that long. Anyways while I was at dollar tree one day I got the idea to put together a “movie night” box for Chad and Grady. We had our first one in March and boy did Chad love it. I mentioned to him that we could try and do that once a month and he corrected me saying that we can do it more often lol.

On March 19^th we celebrated the arrival of our new niece, Kamrie! She is absolutely perfect and both Chad and I cannot wait to spoil her. Our anniversary is on March 22^nd which fell in the middle of the week so we got to celebrate it the following Friday. We tried out a steak restaurant Downtown Tulsa called Prhyme. It was delicious and I actually got to indulge in an alcoholic drink this year so that was an added plus.  We normally order a replica of the top tier of our wedding cake but in the midst of trying to work on our portion control we decided to get a cupcake at a cupcakery downtown instead. Earlier in the month our friends got us some cupcakes from this place downtown and the turtle cupcake was out of this world. So much that my mouth was watering for weeks, we ended up getting the turtle and a peanut butter chocolate cupcake. Just as expected it was divine.

The weather here in Oklahoma is unpredictable sometimes we are able to have dance parties with ice cream on the back porch and other days it’s freezing. Now that Audrey is a little more mobile Grady is starting to get a little rough with her. She’ll be rolling around on the floor and Grady will like to jump over her, scares me to death. However, he still adores her and when she is awake from a nap he will run into her room to wake her up telling me no momma along the way just so he can be the first one in there melts my heart.

Grady is at the stage where everything is his and if I give a toy to sister he immediately wants it. We are working on his sharing but more times than not he will steal the toy right from Audrey, poor girl. We introduced chocolate milk I waited a love time to introduce since I did not want him to get hooked. We call his chocolate milk his coffee and when I took them to the donut shop he say chocolate milk asked for some “coffee” I got the weirdest looks and no I do not give my child real coffee!

We ended the month with our first big family road trip to Kansas City as well as Easter. I’ll have to document those in a different post since this is getting a little long!
