Ugh, are you kidding me?!

Not a good way to spend the weekend.

Well last weekend was kind of a bad(ish) weekend. Let me start off by saying that Thursday just wasn't the best day. One thing that really made that day bad was while I was doing laundry I noticed that the washer hadn't finished it's cycle. And it should've awhile ago, so I went down into the basement to find that the washer is stuck on 4 minutes left and isn't draining. It was trying to drain but wouldn't. So I reached to the back of the washer and moved around the draining hose to see if that would help. NOPE! It didn't help the whole thing blew off like a volcano! I ran into the other room and turned off the water. I stood their like wtf?! I went and called Luke and told him what happened. He said he would look at it when he got home. When Luke got home he went down into the basement to see what was wrong. He ended up spending an hour or so trying to figure out what was happening. He finally figured it out. And he fixed the washer it was draining the water out of the washer and all was fine.
Friday morning I go down to do some laundry. Nope that isn't going to happen. I looking at my washer and saw that there was water in my washer. Which means that water was backing up into my washer for some reason. I was like wtf now what is going on Luke said he fixed this. Called Luke and he said he didn't know what was going on. After talking to him I called my mom. At this point I had no clue what to do. I figured it was a clog, which made me mad and upset me because that meant we had to pay a plumber to come out. Ugh, that would cost $ we didn't have. After venting to my mom I went on with my day and just forgot about it. Came home after a good day out to find the washer full of water again, Luke downstairs confused and not knowing what to do and the floor in the basement wet. Luke ended up opening the washer door and a ton of water came out. Thank goodness the floor is cement in the basement and nothing of importance is down there. After hours of trying nothing was working. So we left it be confused to why the washer was backing up with water and why is wasn't draining out.
Saturday we had scheduled Stella to get her 6 month pictures done and get some family pictures done. Luke talked to a guy who he knows who said he could fix our problem. So we went on with our day thinking that he was going to show up later during the day. Well we went got our pictures done and still hadn't heard from him, I was worrying at this point. We needed to get our problem fixed. We finally later that night he texts Luke saying he would come by Sunday.
Sunday comes around the guy said he would be here at 11 guess what he hadn't shown up. Around noon Luke asked him if he was coming. We didn't hear from him and I was getting worried again. Finally the guy shows up at 3! 4 hours late but at least he showed up. After the guy being here for an hour he was able to fix our problem. Thank goodness!!!!! Turns out it was a really bad clog. The guy unclogged out pipes and flushed them out. And the best part he only charged up 80 bucks for it. We are so lucky, one someone else would've charged a crap load more just to come out to figure out a problem and then even more to fix it and two we were lucky that it wasn't anything major.
Needless to say that was a very stressful weekend.

6 month check up

April 1st, April fools day. I was no fool this year! Stella and mommy stayed home because she wasn't feeling good. Stella had her 6 month well baby check up on Thursday and ended up getting the last series of her shots :( Other then having to get shots her appointment went great! She weighs 17.1 and is 27.5 inches long! Her doctor said that she looks great and everything is right on milestone wise. He was shocked that she was already babbling "mama", he said normally babies babble "dada" first. Hehe, sorry daddy guess you will have to wait it out she will say "dada" soon enough.
So like I said Stella wasn't feeling well the next day. She was happy as can be when we got home after her appointment but when she woke up Friday morning she wasn't happy. She had a low grade fever, didn't want to eat and wanted mommy to just hold and snuggle her. Mommy had no problem with that. Thankfully Saturday was a much better day and she was feeling like herself again! :)
