Randomness

This week has been surprisingly Ok with William being gone- except for a little interruption that I had to leave work Wednesday to take Logan to the doctor but all is good. His appointment was in the morning so I was only at work for a couple hours and we had SOOO much fun the rest of the day. It was like I was in a dream- just being able to be with him, do fun things, and be apart of his life. It was such a blessing. After the doctor, we went and had a bite to eat at Sonic. We both are in love with corn dogs. Then, we went across the street to the library. We both got library cards and I was so disappointed that their children's section was closed for remodeling but the silly thing is that they had NO children's books out. Wouldn't you just put some on one of the 5 empty book shelves sitting in the lobby so that kids can get some books while you are renovating? Made no sense, but luckily someone had returned a couple books so we were able to get the book that someone had just returned. After the library we went home. I have been doing some serious cleaning/ organizing. The weekend before William left we rearranged the 3 rooms upstairs. It was crazy. We first had to clean up/ organize the "fire" room which has now become William's leather working room. After that was cleaned up we moved the bed from Liam's room, my 2 scrapbook tables and ALL of my craft stuff into the "fire" room. So, it looks ok in there, it is just a random assortment of different spaces. There is his workbench for leather, a bed/ sleeping area, craft area and a tiny guitar/amp area... After that was finally arranged, we were able to put the crib up in Liam's room, move 1/2 the furniture from Logan's room into Liam's room and then start to get the bins of baby stuff out of the bonus room attic area. So, it was a lot. We have a ton of piles of stuff to give away/ sell. Like we will ever get around to a yard sale? Who knows- that is William's thoughts. So, the bedrooms are pretty good for right now. Next, I have to find a spot for the papazan chair because the crate needs to go on the landing. I am getting EXTREMELY irritated with the dogs. It is best for everyone that they go back in the crate. So back to the point- after going through all the baby stuff, I had to then start organizing the kitchen/ cabinets for bottles/ formula, etc. So I did that yesterday while Logan "rested" and watched a movie. We then went to the park and played for a bit and I was able to finish Liam's letters when we got back from the park. Then it was time for dinner, then bath then church. It was such an amazing feeling to be able to get Logan fed and bathed before church so he could just go to bed when we got home. Again, it was a huge blessing that I ended up begin off most of yesterday, I think we both loved it!

Here are some pictures from our day:

At the park

Eating at Sonic

He made this for me at church! Mrs. Mary said that you could put your ring or whatever in it... without me asking, Logan said, "Look- you just put your keys in it or something- that's it. Ok"

Nighttime pictures to send daddy- he says he is blasting off like MegaMind but I don't remember this part from the movie. 

My cute little blessing

Letters I made for Liam- I think I like them, we will have to see how they look on the wall...

My first real mother's day!

Well this year was my first real mother's day. We were not doing presents or anything but it was nice! (I already found and purchased the inexpensive hand-made necklace I wanted!) I have always wanted to plant something out by the mailbox and did but everything died. Then, was on bed rest and could not plant anything, then Logan was born and now am just getting around to the point of being able to breathe again. So, mother's day morning William was on his way home from work and brought me home some flowers! They were some tulip bulbs so I could plant them out front and they would come back every year! (Because I did not want to spend money on flowers if they did not come back every year). They were inside the kitchen and were leaning toward the sunlight outside, so I put them on top of the grill. William, being the wonderfully, sweet husband that he is, went ahead and watered them while he was watering his garden. Well, somehow Ace (the black lab) got into the garden and I came outside and there he was... all I saw was the green plastic left. Sure enough Ace had eaten all the tulips, stems, bulbs, dirt. After almost wanting to beat him, I went inside and looked to see if they were harmful to dogs and the bulbs are poisonous. So, knowing our history with Ace and all the stuff he has eaten in the past, I just got the hospital number handy in case we needed it. Luckily he did not get sick, but I was furious that he ate my present and that he could have been really sick... What a silly puppy!

My First Mother's Day

I have received a "happy mother's day" in the past for being the mother of 3 crazy, yet wonderful furry children... but that was nothing like being a real mom (or expectant mom). Saturday after the women's get together at church William gave me a gift (on the way to my little sister's wedding). It was the sweetest card and a jar of jalepenos and spicy chips. It was perfect! Not expensive but definitely thoughtful! I have been craving all things spicy (especially jalepenos) so it was perfect. It just makes everything real and makes me want Logan here now so that I can give him tons of hugs and kisses and pat his little bottom... I already cannot wait to see him again... We go back on June 4th at which point I will be two weeks past the half way point (22 weeks 2 days to be exact)! I just want to look at him every day and make sure everything is still there and his heart is still beating. And, of course I then start to worry and go through the "what if" scenarios... then I pull myself together and realize no matter how little or much I worry that God is in control and He will provide. I am starting to feel the "flutters" but can't wait until he starts kicking (which I am sure I will get irritated with when I want to sleep)!
