Mother's Day

By -
SG wanted to get our mother's day celebration off to an early start so she woke up at midnight crying with a huge dirty diaper.  I rocked her back to sleep (that was pretty sweet) and got back to bed for her to wake up again at 2 and then again at 4.  Nothing like being reminded that you really are a mother!  I put her in bed with us to nurse at 4 and I could tell that her nose was stuffy.  We were up for the day soon after that and she wasn't feeling all that well.  I think she is teething and they are really bothering her. 
Aaron made us pancakes for breakfast and by 7:30 she was acting sleepy and I was feeling very sleepy.  I put her in bed and went to bed myself.  I was asleep for about 10 minutes when I heard her crying.  She was very warm and grinding her teeth constantly.  I gave her Tylenol for the fever, but I don't think it helped the discomfort too much.  Our whole day was a series of trying to find things to soothe her and keep her from crying. 
We made it out to Costco and I enjoyed a piece of pizza there for lunch (I love their pizza, so that was a treat).  My little buddy loves pizza too and enjoyed some of mine. 
She took a few more short naps in the afternoon and we went for a walk and played on her swingset to pass the day.  She was very pleasant outside after one of her naps.  That's when I caught these cute pictures of her.

It may not have been the peaceful, relaxing day that I would hope for, but I am grateful to call myself a mother and to spend time with SG, Lucy, and Aaron.  They are my whole world.

Check-Up

By -
Since Sarah Grves did not listen to our request and come over the weekend, we had our scheduled check-up this morning.  All looks good.  My blood pressure and measurements continue to be fine.  We heard her heartbeat and it always makes me smile to hear that sweet sound.  We also talked about my growing anxiety about not going into labor on my own.  Anjili is very reassuring that 90% of women do go into labor by 42 weeks and we have every reason to believe that I will too.  We also talked a bit about how even if we do have to use pitocin to induce labor it doesn't have to be as bad as I feared.  She said that she will try to make it possible to be able to move around even though you are hooked up to the monitor and the IV.  Hopefully, we will go into labor on our own! One of the things that she cautioned us about is that even though family and friends are well meaning and excited to meet the new baby, the constant focus on whether labor has begu...

 We had a great start to summer! Downtime at the lake with family was perfect after the busy rush at the end of school! We spent time with Aunt Brenda, Nikki, Andrea, Bobby, Fisher, Brennan, Kade, Aunt Linda, and Maw Maw.  Time by the fire pit laughing and telling stories. No idea why I don't have pictures of Charlie or Aaron, but they were there! Time for a boat ride! In May the water is still cool but feels good after you get used to it! Good to have some time to bob! The much anticipated karaoke night! Nikki and Aunt Linda had us rolling as they performed their first number with instruments! Bobby joined in and Livy was his backup singer! Pops with the house band! My favorite karaoke stars! We even got Aaron up to sing!  We laughed so hard, cheered for each other, sang our hearts out, and had a wonderful time! Steak! And a lot of it! Yum! Charcuterie lunch! Everyone loves dips and snacks Kade surprised Brennan and proposed at Cheaha! I was in on the surprise so that th...

Mystery Tour

 Every six years there is a choir tour referred to as Mystery Tour since the kids (and parents) have no idea where they are going! We dropped her off super early and stalked facebook for clues about where she might be going!  As Ms. Kim gave her talk before they left, parents listened in and I love how she explained that they are representing not only our church, but Jesus in the world and need to behave that way.  Lovie was tracking her watch and could see them heading to Florida, Ft. Lauderdale to be exact! Yes, they spent a day at Universal Studios! There were stops in Charleston and Savannah They also went to Virginia Beach Stop at an alpaca farm! In addition to singing, Sis played the flute in the ensemble.  We thoroughly enjoyed their homecoming concert too!
