Happy Mother's Day



We celebrated mother’s day on Saturday before we left for our cruise. Gave our cards, hugs and small gifts. However I want to dedicate this post to my mother…
            I am lucky to have a wonderful relationship with my mom. She is more than just my mother; she is also my best friend! She has been there for me through the good times and the bad. Always giving good advice or just listening when I needed some one to talk to. I love watching her with my kids. They have a great relationship with their Mimi and I know that it will only get better with time. I don’t know many grandmothers that would watch their grandchildren for 12 days! Let me repeat that…12 DAYS! I am so grateful to have her in my life; she is willing to help me when I need it. She is always there to come keep me company or take the kids for a night so that we can have a night out without them. She is a one of a kind Mimi.
            It was not until I became a mom that I really grasped the love that she feels for me or the bond that we share. I pray that McKinley and I will have a relationship as strong as ours is.

Mom, I love you and thank you for being a wonderful mother!

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

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...
