80% height 5 % weight !!! yikes !!

I am off this week so I got to take Rory to the doctor. Marc and I went together and i am glad because a lot of the questions I could not answer I would only look at Marc. I am never home for meals with her. And although I feed her when I am off I have really no idea of patterns. I see her for 1 1/2 hours every night and about 40 minutes in the morning. It is a strange situation with me always nagging Marc , she needs more vegetables, fruit or she needs to eat more ect. But then i always back down because he is her primary care giver and at some point I doubt my own self. But today we were basically told that we have to get her to eat more. She has lost weight since her last doctor visit but grown 2 or 3 inches. She is 32 inches and 19 pounds . At 15 months this is really skinny. I felt like the worst mom. Marc and I have such different ways of approaching parenting. I like structure . Meal times, nap times . (with in reason) he is more free flowing. She naps when she naps and eats when she eats ect... Did I mention I hate that I am not home with her more.

Easter in Long Island

Went Well! I know this sounds really depressing but it was the first time she did not say anything negative to me. We stayed about 5 hours. Rory had a great time. There is so many knick knacks everywhere it is a 15 month old paradise. It makes me want to go out there more.

Easter

Took Rory to Easter Egg hunt at Queens Farm. YOu should go to their website. They have so many events for kids. Marc is taking Rory to the kids carvinal in APril while I will be in Philadelphia so if anyone wants to join them... Anyway the 4 and under hunt is just as aggresive as the older kids. If i had not picked her up and started running toward the eggs we would have ended up with none. As it was we had a grand total of 2 . One donated by a 4 year old who felt bad for us. "Mommy look they only have one egg in their basket" as we walked back to the start. Marc video taped it but they would not let him pass the start, only one parent, so all you see is me finally picking her up and start running toward the eggs. They have a petting zoo and she talked to the sheep. They would Baaaa and she would BAaaa back. They also have a kids band and kids dance. So cute.

On another note this baby is kicking my butt. I am so tired and feel sick. I can't wait for the 1st trimester to be over. We were supposed to have Easter here because of this and Rory's recent carsickness (anything over 30 minutes ) but Marc forgot to ask his mom and sister to come here so they assumed we were coming out there. So it turned into hurt feelings and angry calls to Marc on Friday . You don't even want to know what was said . So i just finally said lets go out there it is not worth it. So we are going tomorrow. I am always nervous about going out there. Last time we were out there a month ago. MY MIL told Rory that her Father was the most talented creative man in the world and well your mother we put up with her. She did not know i was in the doorway and I just said "ummm that was nice and walked away" Marc talked to her later but it doesnt matter nothing changes. She wishes Marc married someone else ... someone less to quote her "American". It is so hard and now harder with a child. My grandparents never said one negative word about either of my parents. I have tried to talk to her , emailed her ect but how do you change the additude of a 75 year old woman. Anyway we will see tomorrow...

New Post

This is for my dad who says I don't post enough. However how many times has he commented ???? Ran 35 miles last week . Still Prego. Rory is amazing . Talks non stop I can't understand a thing but I pretend and she seems to appreciate that. Show is going on the road in April. Press release comes out tomorrow but you can probably guess where we are going. Good thing is that it is close so Rory and Marc will be able to come see me for a few days. OK Dad ? You should start a Dad blog.

I have the flu

UGH!!! After running on Saturday I came home and started feeling horrible. I have a fever of 101 which is high for me I never run a fever. Tylenol just does not work for me but I can't take anything else. No running today. I just hope to make it to work tomorrow. I have to.
