What a week and weekend it has been. Gracie continues to move full steam ahead in teething with still no teeth. Her sleeping was horrible at the end of the week and over the weekend. Guess what I got, another cold. SERIOUSLY!!! How many times can I run my body down to catch a cold, this is even with my husbands help at night? It was so bad we even missed swimming on Thursday because she had a mild temperature.
For those that don't know, or how haven't heard me complaining, I hated our bed. Since I got prego the thing just fell apart which made my body fall apart. So, I have been looking forward to a new King size bed to fit the growing family. After we learned we were getting a tax refund, we decided to buy a bed. We shopped and found the bed we liked. My next mission, which I chose to accept, was to find a bed with a frame that was reasonably priced on Craig's list. Thursday I hit the jackpot and got a new wood headboard, foot board, and frame for under $200. Not bad and the Shiers were so nice to let us borrow their truck with an hours notice. This laid the ground work for the mattress purchase on Sunday, but I am getting ahead of myself. Friday, after a delivery of 2 dozen roses from Gracie to Mommy, we all headed up to the farm. The original plan was photo day which turned into work day and kido day. It was wonderful to spend time with family, the Penrods, and the O'Reillys. Gracie had so many people to play with.
After celebrating Grandma's birthday and Mother's day with the family it was off to bed for sleep that didn't last more then a little over an hour per stretch. This was her happy face earlier in the day.
Sunday we got the mattress and put the room together. Here is the family photo on the new mattress. It was the best Mother's day ever. New mattress and bed set, a cuddly baby, and a supportive husband, roses...who could ask for more? I am very blessed to be Gracie's mother and I would do anything for her. She is the light of our lives and the reason we both look forward to getting up everyday.
Monday was our 7 year anniversary too. What a crazy couple of days. Since I am sounding like Demi Moore, with my sore throat, we decided to forgo the special dinner tonight and instead had left over pizza and soup. Nothing says love like leftovers! While looking through the wedding albums we are reminded of how truly blessed we are with amazing family, friends, and life! We couldn't have made it seven years without you. Enjoy the photos and can't wait for you to watch the next 7+ years together as well.
Here is another photo series we are starting, thanks to Anne's suggestion. Every Mother's day going forward, Grace and I will sit in this chair to see how much she has grown. It will be extra special since it was the rocking chair used on me when I was a baby. How special! Thank you mom and day for being keeping sentimental items along with a few other things.
