New year’s resolution check-in time, y’all!

Last month’s check-in

1. Get knocked up.
CHECK!

2. Leave my hair alone.
I straighten it every day but since I’m conditioning it and not fucking it up with dyes it is looking pretty healthy. Go me.

3. Spend less money on myself.
I bought a couple of shirts to wear to work because I feel like my work wardrobe is sad and slipping into super-casual lately. Had to remedy that. Otherwise, no other purchases have been made.

4. Lose an average of one pound per week.
I need to start exercising when I actually have the energy which is in the middle of the day. I’m going to start walking during my lunch so that I don’t end up waiting until the end of the day and then I’m too tired to do anything active. I have gained weight and it’s not baby weight. It’s called Dominos pizza.

5. Learn at least one song in its entirety on my guitar.
I haven’t had much of a chance to practice but I plan on working on the Happy Birthday song so I can play it at Avery’s party in March.

6. Read at least two books every month.
Nope. I just saw The Help on DVD and will be starting that book tonight so at least I’ll get back into reading.

7. Work on making master bedroom look like a bedroom and less like a large closet with a bed in the middle of it.
No change from last month. I still need to purchase the duvet cover set and tweak the headboard.

8. Be less of a bitch.
This is a stupid resolution. See? I’m even a bitch to myself.

Avery’s appointment with the pediatric urologist was brief. He had, I presumed, already reviewed her renal sonogram and declared her to be perfectly healthy. He said that Avery’s pediatrician saw what was a common abnormality in the sonogram and basically made kidney failure out of a UTI. Apparently, lots of children get urinary tract and bladder infections while potty training. What showed up in her sonogram was totes not a big deal. This means that she’s normal and will be just fine and no follow-up appointment was necessary.

Better safe than sorry! I’m just glad that they didn’t want to run a bunch of tests on her JUST IN CASE. I probably would have let them because I’m a dumbass who doesn’t have a PhD in urology and then later would have felt like we were taken advantage of and robbed. But something tells me that Children’s Hospital doesn’t usually do that kind of mind-fuckery to parents.

I hope that I never have to go to that place again.
