Today was Maddy's first Easter. For the most part it was rather quiet. We initially hadn't planned on doing anything today but after the events of today I'm glad that we hadn't.
After being grouchy for the last three days, with the exception of meals and maybe an hour or so Daddy time, she has been asleep. Must be her version of PMS. I wonder if that happens. You know, after being inside you for nine months, having all sorts of hormones, and then being forced out into this world, they get to suffer like us Mama's and have a monthly bout of PMS.
I say this because today of all days, my Aunt Flo decided she wanted to finally visit again. After not seeing her for about a year she made her appearance on Easter. I hate her visits, I cramp, I ache, and I feel exceptionally tired most of the day. Hence, why I think Maddy feels what I feel. And seeing as I weigh around 20 pounds more than I did pre-pregnancy, and it all seems to be in my ass and stomach, I can't move around to alleviate my cramps like I used to. Now aside from popping a Motrin every now and again, I seem to be surviving. The downside of it all, I can't do my most favorite thing during this time of the month. I can't take a bath. Why can't I take a bath, you ask. Well that's simple my dear friend, because our apartment has no hot water.
We haven't had any hot water since mid-afternoon yesterday. We won't have any hot water until Tuesday at the latest. They say they are going to try and have it fixed by tomorrow but I won't hold my breath. This makes me wonder if having water divided amongst the building is a blessing or a curse. I guess our water heater could have broke even if we didn't share, but then again it probably wouldn't be so taxing on the system. All I know is of all weekends to break, this had to be the worse one. I guess we just have to take it as it comes and say Thank God it was only hot water. And ultimately the only thing really effected by the lack of hot water, is making Maddy's formula in a shorter amount of time. For now, we have to warm the water in the microwave.
Moral of the story folks, feel blessed for the things you do have. Too often we take advantage of the simple things in life. Just remember it could be worse.
Happy Easter!
