Izabels doctor apparently is very popular so you have to make appointments months in advance which was difficult before because I did not have my school schedule. She was suppose to go in at the beginning of the month for her 6 month check up. But did not go in until oct 30th when she was already 7 months old. She got weighed at 17.13 lbs and is 27 inches long. Her weight, height and head size are normal! Hoooray! last time they said she was alittle over weight. But now she is right on track. Everything is looking good. She had to get 5 shots though :(. Which i think is always harder on me. I have to hold her while she cries and tries to have me pick her up. Its horrible. I hate it sooo much. I decided to get her the flu shot cause I do not want her to get sick. The swine flu was really bad last year so I am hoping this will protect her. Now I just need to get it for myself. The doctor said she could feel a tooth on her left side on the bottom. I am glad cause she has been chewing on everything and drooling like crazy. I am glad she is making good progress. It makes me feel like I am doing a good job as a mother. A lot of the time I feel like I have no idea what I am doing. But now I feel more confident in my abilities.
She did fine all weekend until Sunday night when she got fussy from the shots. I was so proud of her.

Jewelry Show
This is going to be a very short post. I mostly want to complain about how I was not able to go into the jewelry show. My mom, Izabel and I drove down to Chicago where my older sister met up with us. We had been planning this day for a while. We were all pre-register to go. Once, we got there I up Izabel into the strap thing that is attached to me. They would not allow stroller in so this way she was hooked on to me. After registering one lady who worked there said I could not take Izabel in because children under 16 were not allowed in. What the heck!??! I was so freaking pissed. We drove all the way down there for this and now I can not get in. FUCK YOU LADY!! my daughter is strapped onto me. She is not able to walk so it is not an issue. There was ladies with bigger purses than Izabel. It was such bull. I was so pissed. Needless to say we took turns in the jewelry show but I only got to go for like 15 minutes before Izabel started to give my sister trouble. I ended up paying 10 bucks to get into the hobby show which was total nerdfest. It was like remote control everything; trains, boats, planes, cars. Not for me. But Izabel fell asleep while I walked around. I thought maybe Id find a boyfriend there. hahha just kidding. Oh well.
Madison dinner
A few weeks ago, my friends and I drove up to Madison to visit our 2 friends who live there. My friend who owns the house was going to be cooking us dinner because she is an excellent cook. She wants to open her own restaurant some day. And I feel pretty confident that she has enough skills, talent and know how to actually do it and succeed at it. When we got up there her sister was there with her two sons, who are soooo cute. Of course, I started to miss Izabel. I left her with my mom cause I kind of wanted a night by myself which never happens, but i kind of like it that way. And all of my friends smoke and were smoking the whole car ride up there which would have been bad. So, I am glad I left her with my mom. Once we got there the wine bottles were opened and the drinks were a flowin. Needless to say I drank a bit more than I wanted to. 4 glasses of wine later I was ready to head home. It was a good ride back, like 1 1/2, and I fell asleep and apparently started snoring. (embarassing) Of course, Izabel woke up at 4 am and was fussy. And then she woke up again at 8:30 am which meant that was the end of my sleeping in. Bummer. Luckily, we took a nap together later which was nice. The food she made was super delicious. I hope she gets her restuarant up and running. I know she has enough skill and no how to do it. She has been talking about it forever and i hope it becomes a reality for her.
School of Education
Since I have transferred to and from like 3 schools. My credits are kind of a mess. I feel like I have been going to school forever!! lame sauce. I just want to graduate already and do something with my life. At the beginning of the semester my counselor told me to apply to the college of education. So, I took a test and did a bunch of paperwork and things to make sure I would get in. Well, then I turns out I did not get into the school of ed. It was kind of big disappointment especially since my counselor pretty much told me I would get in for sure. This really really bummed me out. But apparently there is some sort of a plan. So hopefully, I can get into the education psychology major until next semester. This way I can take the classes I need without being admitted into the college of ed. I hope it all works out. I do not know how much more debt I can get myself into. Also, I am getting super old to be in college. Other people in my classes talk about getting fake ids and what not. oh man if that doesnt make you feel old, I do not know what does. hahhah I meet with my counselor soon so I hope it will all get worked out. Trying to stay optomistic is not always easy.
Its been a while
Wow it has been a very very long time since I have been onto my blog. Sorry everyone. I have been super busy with school. It has been midterms. So there was papers, after papers and group projects and tests. Oh man! Its been kind of ridiculous. Now it is starting to settle down a bit so I will catch you all up on my life from the past few weeks. Izabel has been "talking" more and more every day. It was like someone turned a switch on in her brain and she just started talking one night. It was so crazy. One of the "words" she says kind of sounds like mama but I tried not to get too exicted because I know it is probably not that. I planned a halloween "party" that no one showed up to. Lame! I was so excited about it too. I guess thats what I get for getting excited about things. It seems like they never seem to turn out. Which really sucks and kind of makes me feel like not ever planning anything ever again. But I will cause if I do not then none of my friends will do anything. I think I might need to start looking for more friends. But turns out I am just not good at doing that. I do not know how some people have like a million friends and I have like 3. hahha not really but most days it kind of feels like it. Then it was Halloween and Izabel and I dressed up. It was so much fun!! oh yea and i forgot we went up to Madison to hang out with my friends up there. I totally forgot that was a lot of fun.
