(cat meow... ♪♪♪)
Hello...
happy beginning of the weekly vlog.
No it is not Monday, it is Wednesday.
You might be asking, Jill, what happened to Monday and Tuesday?
Why is it Wednesday at 5:20 in the evening and you're just starting the vlog?
Well, to be totally honest with you,
so far this week...
it's been pretty stressful.
I think most ever.
Let me put you down.
Okay, hopefully you can see me okay.
Anyways, umm....
yeah, I...
pretty much had an emotional breakdown Monday evening.
I worked all day Monday, whatever.
It just so happened that on Monday I had gotten
an email from a potential daycare place.
I'm not gonna say...
that we don't have the money, that's not it.
But I got an email giving their rates for daycare.
It was just ridiculous. It's so expensive!
I was trying to figure out how much that is monthly
and looking at our budget and I was like ugh!
I mean we'd barely make it.
So that was just kind of like blech.
I was like, okay maybe it's just high.
Maybe we can find somewhere cheaper
and I tried to put something online and just...
I don't know. I didn't get really a lot of help
I guess in the way that we wanted.
So that was really stressful and then
it just so happen I came home and I don't know,
I was just really sad and I started crying and sobbing
pretty much all night. It was awful.
Then yesterday, went through the day,
trying to just get through it okay.
I don't know, the baby's movements are so random
it just gets me concerned all the time.
We met with a potential doula yesterday
and I don't know, we just didn't really gel well.
I'm not even sure about that.
Now it's Wednesday at 5:23p and we're suppose to
meet with another potential doula at 7p,
but I don't know if we're gonna be able to because....
this morning I left for work.
Jenna text me and said,
"Hey I took a shower..." well I'm assuming she took a shower,
and said that in the bathroom the uhh
the tub spout was leaking.
Not just a drip, but a good stream of water.
She tried to turn off the water downstairs,
but it was still leaking no matter what.
And.... (sighs) I was like crap!
So I have to call the plumber
and he's suppose to come now.
So I called almost an hour ago and he hasn't come yet which is great.
I assuming...
we're not gonna be able to go and meet with the doula.
I'll have to email her. I know it's kind of last minute.
I don't know. Maybe I'll wait until 6:30p and see then.
Speaking of the plumber, that cost a lot of money.
The doula costs a lot of money and I was just like
so... ugh, overwhelmed.
Thinking about money and making sure we can afford everything.
What about work?
Is it good for me to stay at the job or not?
(heavy sigh) So....
that's why we haven't been filming much.
Because literally I'm an emotional wreck
and I'm barely making it through the day.
Just letting you know.
So that's what's up.
I'm sorry for starting the vlog in this kind of, blah, ranting at you,
but to be honest it's been a shitty week so far.
So great! Hopefully the rest of the week and weekend vlog will be better.
Cross your fingers.
Barely making it.
So the plumber is here.... great.
He actually has plumber's crack, which is actually kind of funny.
But...
we will see because...
I don't know if he can figure it out.
So yes, finally got it fixed.
The guy left like an hour or two hours ago.
But everything is fixed.
We have a fun story.
You want to tell them about the cats?
[JE] Apparently, when the plumber came,
he had to check on the water pipes downstairs.
You know the shut off valve and such.
Jill told him, you can't leave the basement door open
because there's a lot of storage down there.
It's unfinished, the walls, there's a lot of dangerous things for the cats.
Plus we have a window in there that was open for that time.
So he still left the door open... of course.
So all of the cats except Peanut went downstairs.
I wasn't home, but Jill found Falkor and Leon,
but could not find Claire anywhere.
So when I got home, we couldn't find her.
We thought maybe she'd gotten out of the window.
Somehow she'd walked away.
I was like no that can't be.
So we looked everywhere, couldn't find her.
I thought, well maybe she did get out.
So I started looking out in the yard, everywhere I could.
She couldn't have gotten that far, because it wasn't that long ago,
and she's not gonna go anywhere too far because she's scared.
So I'm looking, and looking, and looking. Walking around the neighborhood
and I text one of our neighbors and said,
"Hey can you look out for us?"
So still trying to find her, but couldn't find her.
I was like crap!
So I thought, well she has to be down in the basement.
I just have this feeling. I know her.
She tends to hide. She gets really scared and hides really well.
So I went down there and I found an area
where there's a bunch of boxes shoved up against the wall
and I looked and I finally saw a foot.
I was like YES!
But I was concerned because I thought maybe she was stuck.
I was like crap. So I moved everything I could.
I got her out and luckily she was just sitting there
against the wall all squeezed in.
So I took her by the back of the neck, pulled her out,
and felt much better.
Of course I'm holding her and oh my goodness.
It was just very stressful.
[JI] Like seriously, I was gonna murder the plumber.
I would have went to jail and birthed this baby.
[JE] I'd rather me than you.
Somebody, something would have happened.
But it didn't. We didn't kill anyone.
Don't call the cops on us.
(laughs) But, just... I was SOBBING.
I was so upset about everything,
but luckily we found her.
I grabbed her and I was sobbing.
Of course the plumbers was probably like what??
But anyways, everything is fixed.
We paid a bunch of money
and now we're both exhausted.
So that was a wonderful Wednesday.
[JE] Yeah
[JI] We'll see you tomorrow.
The adventure continues.
Yep, sometimes you just need mac and cheese.
That's what I wanted.
I'm a little bit nauseous, so I bought a ginger ale.
For some reason mac and cheese just sounded really good.
But really excited because...
we just picked out pediatrician.
Umm, it's really great.
We're really excited about it.
Do you want to talk about the pediatrician...
and why we love her so much?
Or somebody's eating.
Sorry, somebody is busy.
Have to talk to you later.
So don't mind the hair,
sorry, but I'm going to take a shower.
But I'm going to test the shower first.
For the first time after he fixed it.
So hopefully everything is okay and there's no leak and no problem
because we're leaving tomorrow morning and going out of state.
Ugh, cross your fingers.
Eek!
It works!
Those are so cute! They're rain boots.
Ohh, but I don't need them.
They're $25.
But I don't need it...
but they're cute. Ugh!
So does that mean it's a craving if I'm eating it two days in a row?
I don't know.
But, we got a package and I don't know what it is.
So let's see.
♪♪♪
Oh my goodness, they are the bottles!
Umm, I don't remember if I told you,
but I actually won Comotomo bottles. Like a bottle set.
On Instagram they have weekly competitions.
You just put down your name and stuff
and I actually won one. So yay!
I'm so excited! Let's see.
♪♪♪
That is awesome!
I'm really excited.
Those are the bottles that I wanted on my registry
but I won some! Woohoo!
So excited.
I just want to open it and see what it looks like.
I'm really excited because these are kind of expensive.
So I thought,
well if we don't get it on the registry,
it's fine I can just buy other bottles.
I did buy those other bottles, the cheaper ones...
umm from the baby sale.
Just if the baby doesn't like these.
But these are free, so woohoo!
♪♪♪
Looks really nice.
I wanted the green, just because they only have two colors,
pink or green and since we don't know if it's a boy or a girl,
I figured green is more gender neutral.
So we got green.
Exciting!
Now I'm going to eat my mac and cheese.
If he fits, he sits.
♪♪♪
I forgot to show you something a friend actually gave us.
It's an old toy that they have.
It's SO COOL!
♪♪♪
Cool!
It has sign language.
It has Braille, which I don't know if we'll ever use that,
but it's there. So it's really cool!
So I'm really excited.
It should be fun for the child when they're older.
But cool! Thank you!
Yeah, it's Saturday,
at 4:44 in the morning.
Yes, it is early.
I wanted to get everything ready and then I'm gonna wake up Jenna
and then we will head out.
We are going to see her family. Woohoo!
Early... I look awful.
Right now we are entering Virginia.
So, should get there pretty soon.
We'll be arriving at Jenna's family. Her mom and step-dad's house.
So yay!
We had a few issues, but it's fine.
So now we're hitting quite a bit of traffic,
but I'm sure it's just because it's Northern Virginia.
♪♪♪
I don't know if we were suppose to see that yet, but this is what we saw.
Cute!
Very cute!
So we're here in Virginia now.
My mother-in-law's house and Jenna's mom's house.
Shopping with the family.
♪♪♪
Hello, happy Sunday!
I think the last clip you saw was yesterday.
Saturday I was shopping with my mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law.
After that we just ate dinner and
had a lot of stuff to do preparing for the baby shower.
But, this morning I walked on the treadmill, over there.
Now what I'm going to do are squats.
I'm supposed to have started, I think now.
I don't know. I keep forgetting.
But I'm going to do them now and watch some Youtube... and yeah.
Sorry about the vlog.
Every week they're really late,
but every week so far has just been really crazy.
The problem is I get the video ready but then I have to caption it.
Which takes me time.
So that's usually the issue, but accessibility is important.
♪♪♪
Ready for the party? [JE] Yep
I have some time so I'm just relaxing before I gotta put my social face on.
So right now we're just focusing on the shower. It's in about 15 minutes at 1 o' clock.
So just kind of doing some last minute things
and seeing my mom losing her mind.
♪♪♪
Have a few gifts. Still waiting for other people to arrive.
♪♪♪
Right now getting ready for the party. It's happening soon.
So just all last minute stuff before everyone gets here. Then ahhh!
The party has started.
Lot of food, lot of people, and lots of stuff.
