I met a girlfriend today for coffee, it was just a short visit - I had Jacob with me and it seems like conversation is just harder to do when the little guy is around? If he's not fussing for food or diaper change then he is sitting there being all cute and we seem to watch him more then talk!? Next time I will have to leave him at home with Dad so I can actually have a conversation, but once again it was still nice to get out considering we woke up this morning to snow!!! Pretty soon it is going to be really cold and I won't feel like going out at all so I will take full advantage of getting out now!
After coffee Jacob and I stopped at Toys R Us and bought a new car seat (a Christmas present from one of the Great-Grandmas). It is a 3 in 1, which means it goes from infant to toddler to booster seat and is rated for 5-80lbs! It seems like a good seat, it isn't really the right material I was looking for (this one is kinda crushed velvet and I was hoping for one that would be a little easier to clean/ wipe if spills happen) but the fabric is washable so if any spills do happen you just have to take all the padding off and wash it. I posted a pic of it below:
The straps are super easy to adjust and it reclines into 3 positions. The cup holder will also come in handy later on. So I guess I will no longer be using the carrier car seat anymore and from now on I will have to carry Jacob to and from the car! The only part that confuses me is in the winter when it is -30C and you put Jacob in his snow suit are you suppose to take it off in the car to put him in his seat cause they say your not suppose to put the baby in the seat with too thick of clothes on? I don't get it!?
So tomorrow I am hoping to finish painting my cupboard doors and then hubby can hang them before the weekend. Then Thursday we have swim class, my Grandparents are headed to Yuma next week so I promised I would visit them one last time before they go (so that will be Friday) and then we are having a pot luck with a bunch of friends on Sat! It should be fun although I wish I would have made it the weekend after so that more of my friends could make it! I forgot there was already an activity planned with my girlfriends and they can't cancel so it will probably just be mostly hubbies friends here. I was going to book a photo session this week for Christmas photos but the studio I want to go to is booked all week so next Wed we are getting our photos done!
I have also been thinking lots lately about my diet or should I say lack of a diet! I think I have gained 10lbs since the birth of Jacob and it is really starting to get to me! I really miss my pre-pregnancy clothes, but I have no motivation to diet! I wish it was easier to loose the weight! I was thinking about going back on Nutrisystem but we really can't afford it right now and I'm so sick of eating my fruits and veggies! It's funny how when you eat healthy you seem to crave healthy foods but when you eat the crap you crave it too. So now that I have been eating all the foods that are bad for me (like McDonalds and every other fast food joint) I seem to be craving them more and the thought of eating healthy doesn't really interest me but the thought of gaining weight bothers me too!? I wish I had a high metabolism but then that would mean that I would probably have to be really active and I'm just too lazy! he he Soon I will be back on the diet wagon, I was going to start today but then I had an egg Mcmuffin for breakfast and thought that maybe tomorrow will be the day!? Meh - or maybe next week, who am I kidding?! ;)
