Abbity Rabbity
Ok, well it wasn’t really madness but I thought that it was going to be. Now having two young kids makes everything take longer and just seem like more of a pain in the booty. Don’t get me wrong, I love my girls but holy cow now we have even more crap to lug around, especially on a Holiday visit to the in-laws.
However, this Easter I was pleasantly surprised, it went very smooth….omg did I say that? I could not believe how awesome my Easter was.
Lily was so well behaved and I was so proud of her as she didn’t gather ALL of the Easter eggs during the hunt at Grandma’s, she left some for her younger cousins. Abby was the best baby EVER! She cried when she wanted to be fed, took naps when she was tired and even did some socializing. I just couldn’t believe how un-stressed I was….it was a very nice feeling.
However, the days before Easter were a bit stressful for me. You see, I am a very organized gal…ok I used to be before I had the girls. Normally, I would have had all of my Easter stuff done at least the weekend if not a few days before. This time, I didn’t start until Friday and I was still putting things together on Saturday night, which drove me a bit batty. The whole time I was putting Lily’s Easter basket together I was so sure she was going to come bounding down the stair and ruin the surprise, but she didn’t and I stressed for no reason. She slept through the night, unlike me though. I was up every two hours with Abby and then up at 6:30 when Lily woke up to see what the Easter Bunny brought. *sigh* So we started our day pretty early and I had a headache the entire day, but it was still a good day.
That night there was a Nascar Night race, which is my favorite kind of racing. Then on Sunday Lily we had Lily’s family birthday party (4th Birthday) along with opening weekend for Football AND DirecTV had their NFL Season Ticket for free that day so the whole family (ok, just the guys) were playing with that. All of my favoriate things were rolled up into one weekend – Thunderbirds, Nascar, Family and Football. I am still tired from it all.
This is a picture of me and Lily and she is about 6 months old. When I look back at her photos the hard times are still memories but as time goes by those memories of sleepless nights, short naps and breast feeding issues fade away and all I have left are the photographs of the good times. It is no secret that we have been trying to get pregnant again but we have not been successful, that includes the miscarriage this past December. I have actually been on the ‘fence’ about having another baby but when I look at all the wonderful photographs of Lily over the past years my heart just soars and I want another baby. I know that Lily is going to be a great big sister too because she is great with her new baby cousin Wyatt. She holds his hand and rubs his head when he is drifting off to sleep. She keeps asking me and Louis when we are going to get another baby and she put in her request for a girl baby, we will see what we can do!
