The Hubby Has Returned (and totally scary outfits)

Wow! Where did the weekend go? Wait! I know! I spent it making up for lost time with the hubby. He came home Friday evening. He was so worried Olivia would forget him but she didn't. When he came home, she was crawling around, and she bypassed her favorite shelf to pull things down from to go and see Daddy-- and believe me, that's something. I spend most of the day these days trying to keep her away from this shelf. I guess at some point I'm going to have to take my pictures frames off and candles and other stuff off, only to be replaced by who knows what. I'd rather watch her like a hawk then ruin my ultra chic (yeah right) decor.

Anyway, after the hubby arrived home, we spent some quality time as a family, and then it was off with Olivia to her pack 'n play so Mommy and Daddy could have some fun of their own. She played happily for a while, and then we all went to dinner and came home to catch up on Nip/Tuck episodes. It was nice to have him there.

On Saturday, James had his last exam for the semester, so Olivia and I went with my mom and sister to Atlanta for shopping and the majorly trendy Lenox Square Mall, where, following GFF's post on fashion faux pas, I saw tons of my own. I even snapped a few pics which I will have to post later. Just a run down though:

-- sweaters tucked in. The horror!

-- Boots that looked like wooly mammoths

-- girls with like 10 different patterns. Is this the trend now? Did I miss something? Is it ok now to have leopard-print shoes, striped pants, a bright green sweater, and a bag with a differnt pattern. Eeeeek.

-- Total sluts. Boobs, camel toes (cleavage of a different nature), I even saw one girls crack because he low-rise jeans were just that low.

Scary, people. Very scary. Now I know I don't belong in Vogue, but I'm also not out at a mall where celebs are often seen strutting my stuff in horrific attire. I could maybe even be more adventurous than I am, but at least I keep covered. Even when I was thin and a 32 D, I still kept things covered that other people didn't need to see.

Olivia woke up 20 times last night, and that's not an exaggeration. I am so freaking tired, but she's got plenty of energy. ??????????? Tomorrow, I have an OBGYN appt and a bake fest in the afternoon.

How was your weekend?

Also, I posted that I'm worried about producing less milk. Any advice?

I know you & Olivia were so glad to see James (& him to see you guys as well :) Isn't that mind boggling how babies can wake that much & still have the same, if not more, energy?!? My weekend was busy but very good~I'm going to post about it tomorrow :)

Oh my gosh the fashion faux paus!!! WHat is up with that, seriously? I can't wait to see some new pics of Olivia, I am seriously wanting a TON of them!

Just to toot Olivia's horn a bit, I was telling Australia about Olivias vocabulary (remember her baby is almost 11 months old and she is a speech pathologist) and she could not BELIEVE how vocally advanced she is! She said her baby isn't even to that point, it is amazing! I just had to pass along the compliment, I knew you'd enjoy that :) Hee!

I love seeing fashion faux paus! I know in my mind I'm incredibally critical but I try not to vocalize it too much. :) I can say that I so want to nominate my mothe-in-law for "What Not to Wear...."
