The bumper is still not done, in large part due to the negative amount of sleep I got last night. I say negative because the sleep I did get was so horrible (and on the floor of the nursery), that I just don't think it should count. But lets go back in time shall we? 

On Saturday we went to the Lavender Festival. Tuesday was so fantastic. I mean sure she had a little screaming spell in the car when we got behind a wreck and couldn't move. I'm guessing her thought process goes something like this: "Hey, we're slowing down. Wait we're stopping? NOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOO I WANT TO GO 90, GO PEOPLE GO." When we got to a place we could pull over she was all snotty nosed and tear stained, I hate that, poor Tutu. By the time we got to the festival (and she had a little car siesta) we were golden. I wore Tuesday in the Peanut Shell, which I haven't used much.

I got it as a gift when I was only 12 weeks along or so, because you have to size it. Well I gained so much weight I couldn't wear it with her for a while, but now I can, yeah! She sat like this while I took pictures happy as a clam. Double awesome:

It's great for nursing!
Then we sat and watched some more music:

Tuesday asks, "Would you like to comment on my eyebrows?"

It's so funny, every one seems to lately. They look like normal eyebrows to me, but apparently they are uber fantastic, go Tuesday!

Tuesday loves one on one time as well as lots of people talking to her, so these kind of events are perfect for her. I'm not sure how this translates to sleep, if it's like super boring to her or what. But last night it was PARTY TIME from 11:30 to almost three IN THE MORNING. Yikes. So that's when I drug a blanket out and just laid next to the babbling funny girl. If you can't beat them, join em, right? The problem is the tiredness is throwing me off my game seriously. Not only did I not shred today (or yesterday, or the day before), but I just finished a big bowl of ice cream. The really crappy part? It did not make me feel better :(

    It’s hard to exercise when you are tired, hang in there, it will get better and believe it or not the exercise will energize you and make you feel more alert.

    I love how you refer to exercise as “shredding” so funny, and I second Erin’s comment on exercising it will energize you it is just so hard when you are tired to get over that hump and pull yourself out of the sleep rut, hang in and shred on!

    Yeah, I swear my sling still doesn’t fit right, even though I’m in the correct weight range that the sizing gave. I think that extra baby belly gets in the way!!!

    You are looking great in these photos Amber! All your hard work is showing, one bowl of ice cream isn’t going to set you back that much. Sleep is 2nd to water—I only hope that BJ is as tired as you….

    eat all the icecream you want, just don’t do it atleast two hours before you hit the hay, this is KEY

    I know, it does make me feel better, but getting myself to do it when I’m so tired, that’s the problem!

    Totally, that was my problem. Try again in a few months once things settle, and she has more head control, you might like it.
