Not much to really report today, it was an intensely frigid day outside. I really hated the fact we had to bring our daughter out into that cold and wind. Let me tell you, -8 Celsius here feels like you are chilled all the way down to your bones and you can’t shake the cold. I may just be a wimp, but I’ve also lived in central Canada in -40 to -50 some days and it was a dry cold, not this bone chilling crap we experience. There was a wind and cold advisor last night, it even got down to -25 Celsius here, disgusting.
We would have never brought our daughter outside, but we were heading home. We made a quick pit-stop at the big European grocery store (a regular occurrence whenever we visit my mother-in-law. A gust of wind blew into my daughter’s face and oh my God…..I never want to see that horrified little face again. She began to wail so hard that when she called down she made that hiccup sound. I hate that sound, it seriously makes me sad to hear her that upset. My husband blasted the heat to get her nice and warm, she was snug in her bunting bag (a cozy sack that is attached to her car seat, it looks like this:
To be honest, that bunting bag is a blessing! Highly recommend for any parent. She had some milk and passed out as we got on the highway. I sit in the back with her always, it just makes me feel more comfortable and in case she needs me. We always have a bottle at the ready for her, wipes, burp cloth and teething toys.
The drive was good, a bit of traffic on the way home, but once we got away from the city the traffic reduced and it was clear sailing! We got home in about an hour and 40 minutes. More snow had fallen since we left on Monday, but it wasn’t as cold.
We got our daughter inside and then my husband grabbed all the bags and brought them in the house. I unpacked everything while my husband was caring for the peanut. After I unpacked and we got her situated, I needed a shower and make dinner. We had Mac n’ cheese with tuna, something fast and easy.
After dinner, our daughter was exhausted, so I snuggled up with her and put her to bed. She was asleep by nine. We are just relaxing and enjoying some quiet time, my husband is gaming and I’m writing and watching Bob’s Burgers. I’ll have a more exciting post tomorrow, but for now I’m falling asleep here.
Ciao!
