Blessed to have friends and a week to myself!

I should be using my last hour without a child doing productive things! Like.... cleaning the house, finishing my office organization project, folding some clothes, etc! Instead I would rather write about the week I had without my wonderful little boy!
I had a wonderful week! I missed him like crazy but I enjoyed having some time to myself. Besides sleeping in, doing a little cleaning, a little organizing, running errands, going out to dinner with my husband, and just relaxing, I enjoyed spending time with some of my wonderful friends. I enjoyed lunch dates, an afternoon movie, and a girls night out.

When I was in high school and even college I never had very many girlfriends. I had a few and to this day I am still friends with them but it wasn't until I became a mother that I really understood how important it is to have good friends. It is hard for me to meet and become close with people because I am not a very out going person. I think being a stay at home mom makes it harder to meet people. That is why I am so thankful for my friend Faris! She was nice enough to invite me to her Friday lunch bunch and I have meet some WONDERFUL new friends! I look forward to Fridays at noon, with or without Wyatt! Without Wyatt this week I was able to get together with them for a girls night out and enjoy an hour lunch without entertaining him the whole time. I love getting to know them and I am so thankful to have them in my life. I am also thankful that I have reached out and put more effort into building my friendships with people. A friendship is a relationship that doesn't just come without work. I have realized that it is worth all the time in the world to make great friends!!

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t...

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si...
