Wednesday, 5 March

So the snow came down and it came down heavy. I opened the door and I actually had to push the door open hard because the snow was highter than the door. We got about 7 or so inches of snow. So no gym this morning, instead - shoveling. I started shoveling and I got the porch done and all the brick paver area. Then got out the snowblower and it took about an hour and 15 minutes or so. Kurt made lunches and coffe so it was nice to come inside to something warm. Olivia was still sleeping so jumped in the shower and got ready for work. Then got Olivia's bottle heated up and fed her breakfast. Got her cleaned up and dressed for day care and headed out the door. Olivia was getting really big pimples on her scalp from the stuff I was using for her cradle cap (it was blocking the pores) so I stopped using that and instead using baby oil so hopefully that helps. Dropped her off and got to work, I made good timing considering it expressway was down to two lanes. Work was good, went by fast. At lunch, went to the gym and did my cardio - got through that fine. I had to leave at 3:30 today to pick up Olivia and take her to the doctors. I set up the appointment because Olivia has had this congested cough really since I met her and it was bothering me. Also, I wanted the doctor to look at her ankle and skin. Got to the doctors office and everything went fine. They prescribed her some antibiotics and gave me suggestions for his skin. Her ankle was fine, he said she probably rolled it and within a few days she will be fine. She was already getting better and starting to put pressure on it again. We went to CVS on the way home to get her prescription. The pharmacist is so nice, she remembered Olivia and even her name. Picked up some shampoo and cradle cap lotion for Olivia and a few other things. Got home, Kurt had heated up the left overs for dinner and made Olivia macaroni and cheese. I have to say - he is doing so much better with Olivia. He is even spending more time with her and playing with her. So got home, fed Olivia and then gave her a bath. Washed her hair with the special shampoo and used the cradle cap lotion, it works great. It really keeps the scalp moisturized. After that, played with Olivia for a while - she is learning so much everyday. Then Kurt played with her for a while so I could do some laundry, the dishes, vacuum Olivia's room and the living room, make the bottles for tomorrow, pack up her diaper bag for daycare, get my gym clothes packed and dress clothes out for work. I was able to get all that done pretty quick - so after that, it was time for Olivia to start getting ready for bed. I got her bottle ready and fed her then rocked her for a bit. She was pretty tired and went to bed pretty quick. After that, I read the baby book for a bit, added some new music to my ipod and then went to bed.
