So bullet points for today. Yay!
:: I'm pretending Thea is not a month old today. How the hell did that happen already? I'm planning to take her monthly photos on the awesome quilt my mom made (TamTam for the win again!) when she wakes up. Until then, here are a couple from two weeks ago.

:: Nursing hunger is like 1000x worse for me than pregnancy hunger. I'm assuming it is the lack of a little human smashing my stomach and making me nauseous all the time. But I am currently ALWAYS HUNGRY. Everything sounds good. I would eat almost anything. I'm constantly hiding in our pantry snacking. It's terrible. I quickly made it down to only six pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight, like 10 days after Thea was born. Considering the fact that I gained 10 pounds more than I did with the other two, and lost all the weight just as quickly as I did with the first two, I can only conclude I was carrying around 10 pounds of water weight in my legs. Haha. But seriously, I probably was. But nothing has happened since then, and I can only blame my current snacking habits. I want to make myself eat healthier snacks, but then I'm walking through Target and I'm all brownie batter Oreos, yes please! For the record, they totally aren't worth it. Get the Golden Oreo thins. Way better. Do indulge in some dark chocolate peanut M&Ms. Those are way worth it. ;o)
:: The upside of moving from 1600 square feet to 4600 square feet? SO MUCH SPACE. The downside? SO MUCH SPACE to decorate! I'm anxious for my house to feel more finished, but we can only buy so much at one time. And I'm so indecisive that it is taking me forever to pick stuff out. We still don't have mirrors in our master bathroom. We've lived here almost two months and have owned the house since November. Oy. It'll happen. In the meantime I'm trying my hardest to get the girls' rooms finished so I can post them on the blog. I'm getting there! But oh my gosh I simply cannot decide what color curtains to put in Thea's room. Suggestions? Would light pink be bad?

:: We'd probably have more money for furniture if I didn't buy so many hair clips and headbands. The etsy app is so enticing at 2am... If there was a support group for headband hoarders I might have to go.
:: We were rather ambitious this weekend (for us) and took on a trip to KC for a few different things. First up was a birthday party, followed by a trip to Rainbow Play Systems to pick out a new swing set (it's coming next Friday and I'm so damn excited!), and rounded out by a stop at a friend's house to meet their new baby. Oh throw in there buying Christopher a new truck as well. We hadn't slept much the night before, and the morning was a little stressful, but once we got to KC things were going alright. But we were definitely wiped by the end of it. At one point during the drive home Thea was screaming (I thought babies were supposed to pass out in cars?!?), Elsie's iPad was blaring, and Ryann was way in the back wearing a mini sombrero shaking mini maracas and I couldn't do anything but laugh. Life with three isn't as terrifying or miserable as I expected it to be, but it sure as hell is crazy.
:: September 1st is next week. Are you kidding me? I seriously can't believe how fast time is flying. But I can't flipping wait to have soup in the crock pot and wear comfy sweat shirts and bake some pumpkin goodies. Plus that gets us closer to Halloween and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited to have three girls to dress and coordinate for the holidays. We already snagged a couple of Halloween shirts from Target and I'm on the hunt for matching pajamas. It is so hard to find pajamas in all three sizes though, come on stores. You're killing my dreams.
That's all my brain can muster on a few hours of sleep. Adios!
