This post is exactly what the title implies...a catch up! Well, since I posted last I've not been doing much. Spencer has been getting more adventurous in his daily climbing. He can now get on the coffee table and stand up and will go to the edge just because he knows it will get him attention. I don't dare ignore it just so he'll stop because the minute I do he'll fall. He's also decided to try to go in the street a bit. Not much, but enough that we have to bring him back and tell him not to go there. Yesterday he decided to run a fever all day and was pretty much a momma's cuddle bug all day. I enjoyed it just because he wasn't bouncing off the walls but I could tell he didn't feel good and it was sad. The saddest part was watching him shake and shiver with the chills. He just sat in my arms in the blanket and fell asleep ( I guess it wore him out).
As for me, I still don't have a nursing job. I've applied everywhere I can think of (except nursing homes) and even in departments I hate. But no one will take me. I guess I figured that if my own floor wouldn't hire me part time, it would be easy to find somewhere else that will, but I was wrong. So now here I am, almost 6 months from the time I passed my test and still no job. Sometimes it's really hard to go to work as a clerk knowing I could get paid twice as much and being doing something much better. One time I actually cried at work because one of the girls I graduated with was working and it just was really hard to see her get to be a nurse and me just a lowly clerk.
Since I stopped breastfeeding Spencer at the end of August, I've been gaining weight. It's terrible because I had been able to keep about 5-10 pounds under what I was before I even got pregnant. Now I'm lucky if I'm 3 under. I do walk every day for about 30-60 minutes with my friend Maddi and I do hard core Zumba once a week. But I guess all it does it keep me about even. I hate it. I hate that my pants don't fit right anymore. I hate that I eat all day because I have nothing better to do and I eat when I'm upset. I wish I didn't like sweets so much.
Also, I was hit with some pretty crazy baby hunger the other day. I just had a dream that I had a baby girl and it just felt so real. And it really freaked me out because I am in no position to have another baby right now. The cure for PP depression is not to have another baby!
Jacob has been pretty busy with work. They moved him to a different position and it seems likes he is more busy than ever before which seems hard to imagine. He does love to come home to Spencer though. And Spencer loves it when daddy is home for sure.
Jacob's cousin's wife Whitney got me really excited about food storage (the one year supply specifically). I went to the dry pack cannery with her and had a blast. I'm not sure why it was so fun, it just was. We decided to spend $40 a month on food storage at the cannery to build our supply. We already have our 3 month supply pretty well established we just needed to move onto the hard core stuff like grain and beans and stuff. I've been cleaning out my cold storage room of anything that doesn't have to be in there. All the food storage will have to go in there because it's the only place that will stay less than 75 degrees. It's been great moving things around it makes me feel like I'm organizing again.
Oh and I better list all the words Spencer can say: daddy, Batman, mee mee (mommy), baby, Leo, car, hat, hot, beep beep (the oven), EehUhh (Jesus). He can also make the animal noises for cat, dog, sheep, cow, horse, elephant, tiger, goldfish, and monkey.
Well, that's all for now. I'm going to take a nap because Spencer got me up early being sick so I want to catch up on my sleep. Until next time, I'll just be around, doing nothing but getting fat.
