happy mommy day!

May 9, 2009

Yeah, yeah, I know that Mother's Day isn't until tomorrow, but most of you won't read this until the morning anyway, so I still maintain it's Happy Mother's Day to all my favorite mother's out there. And Lil Miss agrees -- see her little shirt? (c:

Yeah, I thought the Grandmas might appreciate that. Sorry she isn't smiling, but she was a bit of a grumpy butt at that moment.

Looking either contemplative, confused or just plain grumpy at work -- she has some of the CUTEST faces and poses!

Gramma and Laurie left today. )c: They came by this morning to see us before they headed back up the Keys. They had a lot of fun going out downtown last night, so that's good. They were showing me pictures this morning and they had some hilarious ones. Jimmy was feeling a little better. He's not really nauseous anymore, he just feels like crap. Probably because he hasn't really eaten much of, well, anything in like a week. I got him some chicken broth on my way home from work today, so hopefully he'll be able to eat that tomorrow. Right now, he took a Sominex to help him sleep and he's doing just that -- sleeping. Hopefully he'll be able to sleep well tonight -- he really didn't sleep all that well last night.

Lil Miss and I had an okay day. We got up pretty early and, after Gramma and Laurie headed out, went to work for awhile since I hadn't gone Thursday or Friday. We worked for about six hours (and I still have more I have to do tomorrow) before Lil Miss finally decided she was sick of work and wanted to go home already. So we did.

But when we got to work, there was a hand me down from Rae, the other woman that works in the office. A neighbor of hers had a little bouncy chair they were getting rid of and she took it and brought it to me. It's the chair Lil Miss is sitting in in that picture above. It's got a vibrating mode and also plays music if you want it to. Lil Miss seems to like it, so it's a good thing to have.

She gets some awesome hand-me-downs. We have the best family and friends in the world.

My little wiggle worm!

She is!! She is a complete wiggle worm. No matter how careful I am to put her directly in the center of her bassinet, straight, when I go in to pick her up cause she's awake or needs to be fed or changed, she's wiggled herself into some skewed and crazy position. At least she has better control of her head now and I'm not really worried about her getting stuck against the edge or suffocating herself, but seriously -- I've never seen someone move as much in their sleep as she does -- not even her Daddy, and he tosses and turns like crazy.

However, she doesn't do this when she's in bed with Mommy. Sometimes when she's restless and won't go back to sleep, I'll just lay her in bed next to me and curl around her. She either doesn't move or turns on her side and cuddles with me. It's very very sweet and I love it. But seriously, that's the ONLY time she doesn't move like a crazy little monkey when she's sleeping.

So yeah, tomorrow (well, technically today) is my "first" Mother's Day. Jimmy said the other day that he needed to get me something for Mother's Day. I told him not to, because I already have the only Mother's Day present I could want or need.

I have my Lil Miss.
