Week from HELL! And baptism, finally...
I AM ALIVE!
Oh geezes what a week... o.O
And when I say I am alive, I say barely... Or at least that's how it feels like. Christ on a bike... Both me and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
peting73 has been sick. Like, REALLY sick... I've been feeling ill, wanting to puke, weak body, fever... you name it... for an entire week.
And, of course,peting73 got it to. Me? Sleep? HA HA HA HA HA HA! No. I got TWO whole sleep in mornings this week while we've been sick. TWO! Count them. TWO!!!
Of course, taking care of Alexandra has been a priority, but you know... I thought we were two about that. Every morning when she has woken up (around 7am or before), I've gotten frompeting73s corner of the bed... "I'd rather not..." EVERY TIME! (Well, except those two mornings.) Dude, I'll strangle anyone using those words now, I swear... We had a fight about it at 5am in the morning when Alexandra had an early morning one day. All he wants to do when not feeling any good is lay flat on his back... "hen we got better, we talked it out. Alexandra is not just my responsibility. She is his daughter to. If we're both sick, we gotta take turns. One more round like this, and I don't know what I'll do. I swear...
On a happier note, on the 19th of January we baptised Alexandra! :-)
Alexandra Yvonne Linnea... :-D Beautiful names, right? My mom has Linnea as a middlename, andpeting73s mom has Yvonne as a middlename and well... Since they both ROCK as moms AND as grandmoms and both will mean TONS to Alexandra since both her grandfathers are out of the picture... it felt like a good idea. :-) They were both quite touched by it to. :-)
Here's a photo of me,peting73, Alexandra and spicehobbit at the church. And yes, that is the ancient baptisimal gown that Alexndra has on. :-)
(Click for bigger.)
That lace/tulle is over 100 years old... Scary to think about. But it held together! And Alexandra was really good during the whole thing!
Here's a better photo of that dress. :-) Alexandra in the arms of my best friend and now officially Alexandras godmotherspicehobbit.

She'll grow pastspicehobbit in no time though! *grins* Both me and peting73 are very tall, while she is very short... So chances are Alexandra will be very tall to... :-) Time will tell, I suppose. :-D
Now it's time for bed here though. Maybe I'll get better at updating here now, who knows?

You all look lovely! So warm and happy :D Alexandra has a beautiful name too, and I'm sure she'll wear it with pride when she gets older.
Congratulations on it and welcome back to the land of the living too :P

As for Peting not getting up to look after Alexandra I have only one thing to say. MEN! Ugh! Why the heck do men revert back to children when they're sick? Can't live with them, can't live without them.
I'm glad you didn't kill him and he's still alive ;oP

Also... THIS! Why the heck do men revert back to children when they're sick?
Couldn't have said it better myself. :-P

And thanks for showing some pics from the baptism. You all look very happy! :)
The gown looks beautiful! Cool idea too, I've never seen a baptismal gown made with two layers like that. (Not that I have seen all that many...)
no subject
And thank you for kind words and all!
You haven't seen a double-layered one? Odd... Most of the ones I've seen have been double-layered. Mine was to, but it was a lace layer and a pink layer that mom made herself. :-)

And the gown; I haven't seen all that many, as I said. The ones I have seen have been a single layer, with embroidery. And one with ribbons that was supposed to be changed every time it was used. Can't have a baby girl wear something with blue on it, oh the horror! (I'd be tempted to just say fuck it and put green ribbons on it...)

On the other hand, Alexandra looks lovely in that gown, and it looks like it was a wonderful occasion.

Peting on the other hand had to stay in the doghouse for quite a while after we finally were OK all three of us. :-P

The antique gown is back safe and sound for safe-keeping with my uncle and aunt. :-) No telling if it'll make it for another generation... still, it is gorgeous thing and with it's history none of us wants to get rid of it in any way.

And we didn't figut much, Peting and me. It was more a case of him being in the dog-house for a lil while... :-P
The funny thing is, we don't get sick often at all. It was just really bad luck that we all got sick at the same time. :-P
