ho hum
Nothing interesting to blog this week. Samantha's been sick all week long with some sort of bug. I've been trying to comfort and entertain her as well as I can but today she had about had it. She whined most of the time she was awake. Awake for only about an hour or so at a time. Basically she just wanted to be held while she whined her way through the day. I feel so bad for her especially since she can't talk to tell me what is bothering her. Also bad that tomorrow we are going to a wedding and leaving her with my parents. But maybe a change in scenery and people will help her forget about her ickiness. I know that when I'm not feeling well or being crabby I normally turn it down a notch if with anyone besides Adam or my parents - lucky them, right? Ugh, she will be ok, she'll be with grandparents who want to spoil her and have her be happy. I should be able to relax knowing that. I have a feeling I'll be reminding myself of this very thing many times tomorrow night.
a hot mess, a wedding, and a tooth
Finally summer is here. So far Samantha is tolerating the heat. We'll see how she fairs during the 90 degree days this week. God Bless central air.
Kara's wedding was AMAZING yesterday!! The whole weekend was fabulous from the rehearsal to the day after brunch. Kara was absolutely stunning and I was so thrilled to see how happy she was all day long. It was a fantastic unforgettable day spent celebrating Kara and Andrew's love in all the perfect ways. I'm humbled that I got to be a part of it and as usual left feeling a little more full of love after spending time with my friends.
On our way home from the weekend, Sam put my pinkie in her mouth to suck on. To my surprise I felt ridges of a little baby tooth on her bottom gums. She hasn't let us get in for a closer inspection but it's her middle bottom left tooth. Maybe this explains why for three nights she was waking up uncharacteristically at 2 or 3 am only to be somewhat comforted by nursing. I'm pretty sure it cut yesterday as I didn't feel it the day before and she slept like an angel for Grandma Sue. We'll see tonight! And at least if she does wake up I know why.
Also, Happy Fathers Day to all those dads in our lives, but especially my husband, dad, and father-in-law! Love you guys
april showers
How could you not be in a good mood with this little babe? Even though I get to spend every day with her I still feel a little bit of the same Sunday night blues as when I worked outside of the home. It's so much fun to spend time the three of us during the weekend that I think all of us have to adjust back on Monday.
Another weekend gone too fast. Yesterday officially started wedding season with Kara's bridal shower!! I had a great time with the ladies while Adam and Samantha had a daddy/daughter day at home. He let her explore things outside since it was so nice Saturday. They were looking at the tree when I pulled up and she didn't even realize I was in the car she was so mesmerized by the tires, haha. Today the weather was full of rain showers so we ran none of the errands we wanted to and Adam laid on the couch all day trying to recover from the night before. But Grandma Sue stopped by to give me a amazingly thoughtful gift - she knit me a sweater!! I love it and am quite impressed with her skills! Ha, that reminds me that at the shower yesterday knit/crotchet is one thing Kristin and I talked about wanting to do by the time we were grandmas.
Speaking of Kristin, I guessed April 20th as BGA's arrival day in the baby pool...26 hours and couting until I'm out of the race!
post #101
I'm almost done with all the sex and the city episodes, again. Just 6 more episodes until I'll watch SATC: The Movie, for the 10th time. Today as I was watching the girls send Miranda off to Brooklyn with a couple of Manhattans, I got to thinking about my college days. I wondered why the heck I was so eager to get out of there. We had it all then...I was living with 4 of my besties in a huge -albeit old and shi*tty - house, the love of my life was merely two hours away (1 1/2 if he was driving), at the end I only had classes two days a week, I was planning my wedding, with nothing to do between wedding planning and classes but hanging out with my friends. I love my life now but I'm not sure why I was in such a hurry to get here. This is what I've wanted for a long long time and knowing Adam and I would lead you to believe we usually work really hard to get what we want, so why the rush? This is all part of the whole live in the moment kick I'm on lately no doubt. I mourn the mistakes I made back then trying to get here rather than be there. But on the flip side, I'm still so amazed that the Ks and I only have a few chances a year to be all six of us, but we pick up right where we left off every single time. Our separate lives are moving forward at a feverish pace, but get us together it's like witnessing time stand still. For the good, not like we're exactly who we were back then. Just that no matter what has happened since the last get together it's like going home and all is right in the world ; )
And the Samantha part of this story...I will flip on a SATC episode during her feedings. But I need to keep the volume very low for the opening credits. Something about that little diddy catches her attention and no matter what I can't get her to snap out of it. Adam joked once that her first words will be Manolo Blahnik.
