Becoming a mother of two beautiful girls I am quickly finding it to be a blessing and a curse.
Lilyana loves being a big sister. She loves holding Ashlynn so much so I can't leave them alone or Lilyana will cuddle to closely or try to pick her up if she starts to fuss or jiggle toys in Ashlynn's face radically all which ends in Ashlynn crying. urgh. I try to tell her to be gentle, that hardly works, I resort to my stern mean mommy voice which results in Lilyana crying too. I can't win.
Ashlynn is a good baby. She rarely crys for no reason. She is happy to lay in her crib and watch her mobile go round. She has the cutest little smile, with a small sweet dimple. She is beginning to grasp and hold things.
My mom moved back to Michigan, yeah ! ! ! she lives in an apartment about 2 miles from our house. I love having my mom back in town. Our relationship was severly severed when she moved to Tennessee. I had a hard time communicating to her when she left. I believe it is making a full recovery. I love my mom so much. So glad to have her back, I guess I already said that but it's so exciting it's worth repeating. My mom will be watching Ashlynn until the end of the year. Financially it will work out better for both us this way. Lilyana will continue to go to daycare, she is learning a lot
Drove down to Tennessee to retrieve my mothers belongs with baby in tow.
Stopped in Indy to meet some friends for dinner on the way home. So nice to catch up even if it was just a few hours over some super yummy Thai food. Gosh that was good. Can't wait to visit the Rich's again.
Extra tidbits........
I find myself rocking and bouncing even if I'm not holding the baby.
Can't think of enough songs to sing to both Ashlynn and Lilyana. right now I'm stuck on Take me out to the Ball Game, Itsy Bitsy Spider and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. grrr there are thousands of songs how come I can only thing of the same three songs to sing.
I rarely wear a bra now, just easier to nurse without it. This will be interesting when I return to work how this will pan out.
I think I have another hernia. urgh..... I hate this.
To summarize, I've enjoyed my time off work, but I think I'm ready to get back into the work place. I just don't know how I'm going to get out the door my 8am and to work by 8:30am. Wish my luck.
