Lately I have had a million thoughts running through my head. These thoughts are very strong around 3 am while I am watching my baby eat... why she is still waking up at 3 am at almost 15 weeks of age is another mystery but we aren't going to dwell on that. I secretly think she is planning a huge birthday present for me by sleeping through the night. So here are some thoughts I need to get off my chest:
1. I feel really bad for the old man in the motorized vehicle that I totally ran into a couple of weeks ago at the grocery store. I was innocently walking down the cereal isle looking for Cinnamon Life with Avery's car seat in the cart which I learned acts as a huge obstruction for sight. All of a sudden "BAM!" What on earth did I hit? I peeked around the side and the old man just glared at me. I immediately started apologizing. He just took off like a bat out of Hell and I never saw his face again. Who knew those little motorized carts could go that fast? Sorry old man in the local Hen House grocery store.
2. Speaking of grocery stores; why do they always ask you if you want your milk sacked? I am always confused when they ask me. Why wouldn't I want the milk in a sack, its easier to grab a sack than trying to wedge your hand in the tiny handle to carry the milk in. On the other hand, why are they asking that question? Is it weird if you want your milk sacked? Because sometimes when I say yes to the question the cashier just gets quiet and sacks them up. I don't know what the right answer is.
3. Avery will graduate high school in 2026. It seems like the world will be over by then.
4. I was channel surfing and the title of Dr. Phill's show caught my eye. It was about young girls who were "sext messaging." This means they were sending inappropriate texts to other people, some naked pictures, some nasty dirty talk, etc. The parents were on the show perplexed about what to do about it. Why don't they just take away their cell phones? Or at least enable the phone to send text messages? Really, the world is going to end soon.
5. Is birth control really worth the constant b-wordness, cravings, mood swings and insecurity? I am a freak/basket case lately. I gave Travis the "its not you, its me" line the other day when I was explaining to him that everything he does irritates me. But I was being serious. He could make me a gourmet candlelight dinner, but I would still find something to gripe about. I hate hormones!
6. Travis is in his surgery rotation. He's getting really cocky. Every time I ask him to do anything IE: change a diaper, do the dishes, etc. he just looks at me and says "but I'm a surgeon." Its pretty funny!
7. Now that I have a baby I have no tolerance for slow drivers, slow lines in the grocery store or slow walkers in front of me. I was in a check out line at Walmart and I walked two feet to my left to grab a drink out of those mini fridges and I felt that the lady behind me was infringing on my space because I "got out of line." Turns out she just wanted to help me put my items on the checkout counter because I was holding a baby. Refer to item number 5 for my explanation. Thanks nice lady!
OK that is all I got for now. I just felt like I needed to document some of the craziness that goes on in my head. Pray that Avery will sleep through the night on my birthday! I really believe that she has something up her sleeve!

ok, you really arent making me feel good about going back to work after 8 weeks. How am I going to work a full day AND get up at 3 am to feed the baby. I am going to be the orneriest lady ever!!!
HAHA! I love it! Okay, first of all, I can't believe you waste a bag on milk! When they ask me I always turn me down and they smile at me like I got the "right answer" and I'm on my way... although it is a little harder to carry, hmmm, maybe you have something there! Secondly, birth control is NOT worth it, it makes me insanly insane! Thirdly, you'd better get it out of your system before you come visit me or I'll lock you in a closet... you think Trav is annoying... come play with Brayden and Jack!!! Fourthly, I LOVE YOUR GUTS!
So Funny. I always write blog posts in my head when I am up in the night.
Personally, I would rather not have a bag for my milk. I get so sick of having a million extra plastic bags from Wal-mart all over my house. But, then again it did leak in my car once.
Sometimes I want to punch Jimmy about his doctorness. I'm glad to know that he's not the only one who reminds his wife that he's a physician and saves lives.
Finally, I will never use birth control again. There are other methods you know, and the pill just didn't work out for me.
I have so many words Milli about this post, but I will share just a few:
Kate is almost 52 weeks old and she just started waking up at 3 AM again, so who knows.
When I picture 2026, I see everyone traveling around on hover boards and instead of cell phones, a tv is floating in front of everyones faces as they talk to whoever it is they need to communicate with. Avery is so lucky.
Birth Control is shiz in pill form. You must find another way. You will wonder why you ever took those in the first place.
I love Surgeon Travis. I guarantee I would do the same thing.
Love you, Milli!
ha ha! Oh Milli! How I love you!
I love your 3 am thoughts and so here is what you do about sergon Travis and diaper changing.
You take the velcrow off and tell him to get his sutchers out and tell him to stich the diaper shut. It should do a few things for travis,
1- he will find that stiching the diaper together will take alot longer and he will start useing the velcrow.
2- hopfully he won't complain anymore.
About the milk, I love my milk in bags!! your right they are so much easier to carry, They don't do that in UT, at least not where I grew up.
have a great day.
Funny Stuff! Laughing so hard, my class is looking at me like I am crazy (do they want me to teach them...not gonna happen) Anyway, Addi has NEVER sleeped through the night, just dont get your hopes up and it ends out alright.
I have made a living out of being mean to Ron. I sometimes think of different ways to be mean to him just because I can.
They dont even ask if I want my milk bagged, they just do it. I think I look too frantic trying to keep Addi from opening up 5 different candy bars that they just assume I cant carry the milk on my own!
I would just stop having sex.
Thank you so much for making me laugh!
Oh my this is hilarious. I can't remember what movie but we saw a preview in the theater and there is this girl introducing her boyfriend and she says..."This is Doctor Bob, he's in medical school." And the other guy says, "if you're still in medical school, why do you call yourself a doctor?" And then Doctor Bob says, "Why put off the inevitable." Maybe you had to be there but Jared and I laughed so hard. Your surgeon story totally reminded me of that.
you are too funny! i have some of these same thoughts. i loved reading them. couple things: birth control sucks. that is why i have an IUD. no more daily pills and you can get an option without hormones. THE BEST!
also. oh my gosh our children will graduate from high schoool!?! How dare you remind me of that fact. i was happy pretending that day will never come.
Come to knitting group!
What is it about being up in the middle of the dang night and our thoughts go crazy! I do the same thing. For what ever reason, that is when I think the most about things. And I hate to break it to ya, but my little guy is 5 months now and just BARLEY started sleeping through the night. I don't know if it was because i had the hummidifier going in my room and couldn't hear him or if i just got lucky! Either way, I FINALLY got a FULL night of sleep! (my pediatrition recomeded letting him cry it out)..sorry, i know i am the worst speller ever!
I miss you, you're hilarious! I'm sorry she's still up. It must be a girl thing, Laney doesn't sleep through the night and she's 3. You can call me since we're both up. Once you get her sleeping through the night call me and let me know. Grayden sleeps through the night and we didn't do anything differently. Good luck to you and the surgeon.
You crack me up! If it makes you feel any better (or maybe not)- that whole "sleeping through the night" thing as an infant is a myth. At least at our house it is, until they are close to a year old. And your baby is so tiny, she probably doesn't have enough meat on her bones yet to sustain her for that long of a stretch. For the record - I always get my milk bagged. And I agree that hormones suck - guys just need to understand that and do better!:-)
Your 3am thoughts are so entertaining :) I agree with almost everyone here, you are odd for putting your milk in a bag, but we all love you anyway.
As for bc, I loved my IUD. It had no hormones and all my craziness was self-inflicted. I've also used the NuvaRing, which really seems to affect people less than the pill.
You're the best Milli!
In the bag or no bag, not right or wrong, but what you want. That make's it right for you...
I wish I was there to help out and pull the night shift...get Wes to do it, I am sure we would love to...
I LOVED your post!Amen to hating hormones. Especially post baby hormones:)I'm hoping Jonah will sleep through the night in a couple months too:) thanks for your post...
p.s...I get a sack for my milk too:)
I have a couple of comments: First of all, Maycee didn't sleep through the night until she was a year old... Sorry this isn't the best news. Secondly, I SO feel you about the birth control! I was nuts when I was on it! So I got off and a few months later found out I was pregnant with Braxton. Needless to say, I just started taking it again. Let me know when you figure this out!!!!!
Ha Ha Ha... I can't believe you ran into an old man in a motorized cart. That makes me laugh so hard and I love that he drove off pissed. I'm picturing it in my head over and over and it makes me smile. Second I have to disagree with the milk. I'm a no bagger. What's a puney little plastic bag going to do for a gallon of milk? And i'm glad i'm not the only one that's been rude to my husband lately. Why the freak do we always take it out on them? I'm always feeling bad for being so ornery. How's my lil Avery?!!
Okay, so we are better now. Do you want to come out and play?
PS. I get my milk bagged. I look at them with a "why did you even ask me if I want it bagged" look. It works.
Who wants to take more than one load of groceries from their car? Not me. Even if its 50lbs I take one load. Hence, the need for a bag.
This post is awesome. I never get my milk bagged either because I feel like it's wrong...since they ask.
Hormones suck. It's truly not you. THere is just a beast inside of all of us.
And Reese has been waking up AT LEAST twice a night the last couple weeks. I don't know what I did to her to piss her off...but she just decided that sleeping thruogh the night wasn't cool. When she wakes up for the third time at night I find myself saying (half asleep) "I hate her"
Avery is BEAUTIFUL!!!
Oh Millison. You are hilarious. And honestly..I am convinced that sleeping through the night doesn't happen until they move out of the house. So we'll just have to keep waiting!
I'm just giving you a hard time. I know how it goes. Sally keeps calling you Molly again the last couple of weeks. You need to come back so that she can get the right name down again :) lol. We also have a new member of our knitting group. She is new in the OP2 ward and her name is Trisha. Sally is hoping she doesn't confuse her name with Teresa's.
That is why I could never go back on birth control, makes you CRAZY!!! Thanks for the nice comments but you can't see my lower half in the pic, that is where it all is.
Ha Ha, I hate freakin birth control, thus I have a child unexpectedly and the whole world looks down upon me now!!!
Now that you have a kid you are always in a hurry. Hurrying to get out of a store before they start crying (or now a 2 yr old tantrum). Hurrying home for nap time, to change a diaper etc etc. I hear ya...everyone out there is waaay too slow. Don't they have stuff to get done!?! I love your posts...you are so cute:0)
Milli, I want to thank you for whatever you and Nate used to do! I have discovered that no matter what me and Nate are fighting about or if we simply don't have anything to talk about, I can read your blog aloud and he will laugh his really hard belly laugh! Which by the way makes me laugh. Every time I finish reading he says, Man, I wish we could hang out with her! He loves you! because he loves you, well, I love you! I feel for the man in the grocery store though! Hope you have a good birthday! I will pray for Aves to sleep!
Oh my goodness. We need to go to lunch.. which reminds me.. I TOTALLY forgot to tell you happy birthday yesterday. Just for that, you get to pick ANY restaurant for lunch! :)
I didn't know it was your birthday on the 8th, Happy Late Birthday!! Hope you had a great day!!
your blog is adorable....and your baby...super cute! i love her little sweet face!
see you at book club!
