I rang in 2012 at the Mexico City Airport. Barret and I were en route back to the U.S. from our honeymoon in Argentina. I had a little snafu when booking the flights (thought we were leaving Mexico City at 9 p.m., not 9 a.m.) so we stayed the night in the hotel attached to the airport. We stayed at the airport because even the natives from Mexico City had warned us about the dangers of the city and taking cabs. Surprisingly, Mexico City has a very nice airport. However, we got in kind of late and no restaurants were open. So we had a tasty dinner of potato chips and donuts from the Seven Eleven and may or may not have made it to midnight. Needless to say, it was not going to be difficult to top our previous New Year's Eve.
This year we had some friends over, played a little Mexican Train Dominoes and ate some food. Although it may not seem so from this picture, I think we all had a good time. Owen did not quite make it to midnight but this was the first time in several years that I did! Perhaps it was Barret's interesting stories on first experiencing puberty that kept us awake.
2012 was a great year - found out I was pregnant, had Owen, sold our first house, and returned to living in Madison full time. It seems hard to believe that 2013 would be able to top 2012 - but I thought the same about 2011 and here we are. I am anxious to see Owen grow over the next year and see what other fun is in store for 2013.
Speaking of Owen growing, he had his 2 month appointment today. He and his diaper look gigantic in this lovely picture snapped at the doctor's office, but we learned that he is in the 68th (13 lb 8 oz) percentile for his weight and 56th percentile for height (23.5 inches). His head is in the 85th percentile and I was worried that he may be developing elephantitis, but the doctor said they don't really worry about those numbers until they are off the charts.
He then had to get 3 shots in his legs and an oral dose. It was pretty terrible. His first shot in the hospital he hardly noticed, but we did not have the same luck. The doctor recommended that I nurse him while he gets his shot, but Owen was not tricked by such tactics. He stopped nursing as soon as the first shot was given and continued to scream in my face until it was all over. He was not a happy camper, but it is obviously much better than having him get Polio.
Despite having the cutest fan cheering them on, the Badgers were unable to pull off a Rose Bowl victory... for the third year in a row. Pretty disappointing - but that has been the Badgers this season. Usually I don't care too much, because I have already moved on to Badger basketball by this point, but that looks to be even more disappointing this year. At least the Vikings are still out there - and they never disappoint...
Here are just some pics of Owen hanging out.
A lot of my shows have been on hiatus with the holidays, but Teen Mom 2 has hung in there. I do not understand how Chelsea still has not gotten her GED. It has been 3 seasons of her trying to get her GED. She is no longer working part time at the tanning salon and I get that taking care of a kid is a lot of work, but getting a GED is not that difficult. If all you have to do for 3 years is keep your child alive and get your GED - you should be able to accomplish both those goals. Get it together, Chelsea.
In other Teen Mom 2 news, resident train wreck Jenelle got married and there was word that she is already divorced (a mere 26 days later, which would beat Kimmy K's record). Apparently, she is still married, but it is not to my beloved Kiefer or even the boyfriend she is currently living with on the show. Nor is it the guy she was engaged to after the guy on the show - it is someone totally different who I have never heard of. It is getting more and more difficult to keep up with this celebrity gossip. Thankfully, I don't need to worry about getting my GED on top of this.
