Thursday's Three Small Successes

My three successes this week?

#1 Getting out there a little more:

(1) Joining MOPs (a mother's group help at our church). I know this seems like a silly "success," but being the introvert that I am, I tend to stick to home, and well... home. It's been hard making the transition to not being in college where all my best friends are literally a 5 second to 5 minute walk away. However, I babysat for this group during my pregnancy and decided joining would be a good way to get out and about and meet other mommies (or visit with a couple I already know).

(2) Luckily, my husband works at a really awesome place (The Fellowship of Catholic University Students, a Catholic campus outreach program) where young adults abound - so I have met some really awesome people through his work, and now that I'm not experiencing "all day sickness" all the time and we're a little more settled in with little Nugget, I'm looking forward to inviting people over, (maybe) being invited places... to all that good stuff.

(3) I went to my women's group without my buddy. I had always gone with a lovely friend I met through my husband (she sits next to him at work), but she had plans last night. Still... I decided I couldn't complain about not having adult interaction if I turned down perfectly good opportunities. And, lo and behold it was really wonderful :). The women in our group are incredibly sweet and we had some great discussion on a piece Edith Stein had written on women's strength. I also learned a little more about Edith Stein, the Saint...which was sweet.

#2 Tried (tried being the operative word) to work on a flaw

This particular flaw is one I struggle with over and over. I tend to take the silliest things personally... especially things that were in no way connected to me. It's as if I believe that someone doing something fun with someone else means they didn't want to do it with me. Ridiculous, I know... but there you have it. So, this week I worked on taking things like that less personally. I think it's going well - I'll let you know :).

#3 Prepared for baby Nugget's switch to 3-6 month clothes

As our little nugget grows (and grows), we've realized we're at a bit of a dilemma. She is super long (even if she wasn't a preemie, she's in the 50 - 75th percentile for her height at her age), but still pretty skinny (5th percentile if she wasn't a preemie). Now, she's definitely chubby for a little preemie, but her body fits 0-3 months while her length is creeping into the 3-6 month clothes. So, I got out all of her clothes, sorted them, and washed her 3-6 in preparation for the inevitable switch... oh, my little one! Growing up :).


dun dun dun dun! There you have it.

Oh, wait! There's another one! I also finished the wedding I was editing! Now on to a rockin' senior shoot and then a whole new round of things on our big trips to KS.
