Update
Thanks for all your thoughts and advice. We made a decision to not go with a doula. We haven't fully decided what else to do yet, but that's a start. More news to come.

I realized that I leave a lot of my previous posts kind of unconcluded. So, here is a little update on:

-Eva's eating
-My new camera
-Tantrums
-Folding fitted sheets
-My work

Eva's eating (or lack thereof)- Well, she eats better. But, she still doesn't eat eat. Breakfast and Lunch are usually a thumbs up. Only because for those meals I give her Eva-approved foods. Such as Cereal, French Toast, Peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches, or the newly added Elbow Macoroni Noodles with NOTHING on them except butter. Dinner on the other hand, we're being strict, because this picky eater business needs to get dealt with. She gets what we're eating- and most of the time, it goes untouched. Which is fine. I've decided to no longer care. I just compensate with a healthy snack later in the night.

My new camera- I still LoVe it. It still takes amazing pictures. And great video. And I still use it all the time (except not lately, because Eva's grumpiness has taken over my life). Which brings me to...

Tantrums- Ohhhh, the tantrums! Enough with the tantrums! I thought I was over being publicly embarassed by them. But today, she pulled a full-fledged, on-the-ground, kicking and screaming tantrum in the middle of the ROAD, in a PUDDLE, in the grocery store parking lot. All because I would not buy her Skittles.

Folding fitted sheets- Martha Stewart would be disappointed. I am not taking the extra 15 seconds to do it right. Because, well, as much as I would love my linen closet to look perfect, it is very far away. And, so, I give up.

My work- Show Suite cleaning is over! Boo hoo. I've been doing it once a week for a year and a half. And it's SO weird to have my Friday mornings free now. The building Nich is working on still needs suites cleaned here and there, so I do that once in awhile. But, other than that, cleaning is done.
I'm still doing the books for a couple small businesses. Which is fun because, well, spreadsheets and paperwork are a good time. For me, anyway, but I may be weird.

Ok, I think I've covered the updates. Anything I forgot?

    folding fitted sheets properly is over-rated... there are far more important things than snazzy looking linen closets.

    hope you enjoy the rest of your week =)

    Thanks for the update!

    Oh tantrums. Never give into them. Never. Ever. That's the only advice I can give you. I'm so glad tantrum stage is so far in the past ... but then again it's in my near future ... ugh ...

    Definitely - nobody's looking in that linen closet, so don't stress about it. Martha Stewart's opinion is overrated anyway. :) What kind of camera did you get?? I love when you post pictures (since you have so much extra time, I'm sure)

    Chelsey- Oo, you're full of good ideas. I'll do a baby/pregnancy post after I get back from my Dr. appt today. I get to hear the heartbeat, wheeee.

    Tricia- I got a kodak z612. Nothing TOO spectacular if you're a pro. But, perfect for little ol' me. And, yah, i'll try to break it out and post some more pics soon.
