Brand New Niece!

November 21st, 2013 at 02:16 am

I have spent the last 40 hours or so at the hospital helping my sister through a very strenuous and long delivery. Finally, at around 3:30, we were able to meet her!

I was lucky enough to be able to leave work early on Tuesday & work from home on Wednesday (i.e. work from the hospital. I probably spent about $30 on food & drinks at the hospital, but it was 100% worth it to not have to leave in case I was needed.

I am exhausted on only 3 hours sleep and due to some family drama out of my control. Mama & baby are doing well and I am happy for them.

Tonight, things go back to normal & I am planning out my spending for the next week and a half of this pay period. Tomorrow, I have plans with a friend for dinner, plus I want to bring my fiancée to meet the baby after work tomorrow.

Friday, I am hoping to stay in. Saturday night, we are going to Fogo de Chao (Brazilian Steak Place) for a birthday dinner. Definitely pricey, but I want a really nice date & celebration night. I put it in the budget & I am happy to treat him!
