A really Poopy morning

I was lying peacefully in my bed, with the cat curled up next to me and birds chirping outside, when I started to hear Ariana. She will entertain herself for quite a while when she wakes up in the morning, content to just play in her crib for the time being. So I lay there for 15 more minutes before finally admitting that I needed to get up.
I went in to her room and announced that it was time for a diaper change, because I could smell it when I walked in the room. As I carried her over to the table, I noticed that her bottom didn't feel quite right, and her leg had a huge lump. Oh no...I thought. The truth was revealed as I unzipped her sleeper. Her diaper had come undone on one side and fallen down the leg of her pajamas. The poop was down the other leg, stuck all over it. I was glad I hadn't had breakfast yet because it was a huge mess. I took a clean diaper and used it to wipe as much off as possible, then used several wipes. Then we took a bath instead of having breakfast, which she was not so happy about.
Anyhow, I have had an exciting morning. I thought I would tell you about it since I haven't written anything in so long.

Done!

So, I managed to top the 50,000 word count at 11 pm last night. While it was really exciting, it was also anticlimactic in a way. After that I stayed up until two in the morning continuing to write. My story is still not finished, and nowhere near done. Meaning, I'm with Rachel on this, no one gets to read my first draft.
I do however plan to continue working on it after I finish the storyline to hopefully create something I wouldn't mind sharing. After all, that is what I wrote it for in the first place. Oh yeah, it's going to be good too.

Well, cheers to the winners, thanks to the office of Letters and Light. And thanks to my husband who was the only one up at 11 last night to pat me on the back as I sat staring at the winners screen. I now have 53,800 words and am still going.

Don't worry, you will get to read it someday. Just remind me. Happy Birthday Ariana!

The bad guy's dead, What now?

I just topped 21,500 words and I killed off the evil dude. Now what? hahaha....don't you wish you could read my story. :>
I keep chugging away. Having started five days ago, I count that as wonderful progress. I really hope I can finish in time, but I echo Rachel's sentiment that even if I do make the 50,000 words, my story might not be done. And it will definitely need revision.
I have to say, I had to write several battle scenes, and the best music to listen to is Mozart's Requiem.

Surprise.

Surprise, surprise! Someone took her first steps two days ago on my Grandpa's birthday.

She has been getting rather confident walking and will walk around the perimeter of a room with her hands on the wall, so we decided to try the game where you get the baby to walk between the two adults. It was a lot of fun. She took a lot of tumbles but she was really excited.

On the other hand, we had her WIC checkup the other day. She is still only 15pounds 12 ounces, and they were giving me a hard time about her eating and her iron levels. All I have to say is I already thought she was a bottomless pit! While her weight and iron do worry me a little, I also think that her not having breakfast because we rushed to our appointment may have made a big difference. As long as she looks happy and healthy I am not going to stress.
