I love it

I love it when a friend meets Delilah for the first time. I love seeing the reaction they have- especially when they hold her for the first time. And even more so if they're not used to holding children. There's this fear- you can almost smell it LoL Not that I wasn't the same way before. I didn't know the "right" way exactly to hold a kid. And I always thought something was wrong with me because they'd cry. John's niece Abby cried, Shawn cried... Landon didn't- although Landon had been out in the world for a few hours & was tired from all the excitement. I must excuse Shawn from this "classification" because he was fresh out of the proverbial oven. Lots going on for that little man. Nothing is more special than being a part of a birth & seeing that little life coming out. I got to experience that with my best friend & she, for the most part, got to experience it with me. I would've loved to experience pushing Delilah out & having John, Ashley & my mom there. But Delilah was a stubborn one (still is!) and she decided she'd rather come out a different way. It was still special though :-)

Smell the fear ;-)

Haha... that is hilarious... the joy you get from instilling fear in those not seasoned in "Baby Holding 101."

Having you there for Shawn's birth was wonderful. You will always be able to tell your little "nephew"... I saw you into this world... little tush and all ;)

Thank you again, so much, for having me there through your labor with Delilah. Even though things took an unexpected turn, healthy mom and healthy baby was the greatest gift ;)

Gosh I suck

I really was going to try to keep up with whole blogging thing but I've totally been sucking. I just have no ambition. Both of the girls are doing great. Delilah just finished preschool today. We had a rough start but it got better. And then she went back to the crying beforehand and giving John issues. She was very happy to learn today was her last day and promptly requested she go to a new preschool. Which she will be in September. Agap.eland! I am so excited for her to begin there. I think (hope) she'll like it a lot more and she'll learn lots of new things. I just hope we don't have the same issues with the new place as we did with the old place. Tatum is growing in leaps and bounds. Recently she's been trying to blow bubbles with the bubble toy grammy got her. It's so adorable as she dip the wand in the spill-proof container (gotta love those), pulls it out and attempts to blow bubbles. She actually did blow bubbles today but of course I missed it becau...

Almost a month since I last blogged- where does the time go? What to write about? I have no idea. Basically things are pretty boring. We've just been doing what John does while I work... going to Target for our weekly Target visit, going to the marina when it's nice, visiting John's parents. We've also visited Ash & the boys for some play dates. Other than that it's been low key which is nice since I only get three months with Tatum. Don't get me wrong I know I'm lucky to have the time I do with Tatum but I just wish I could have six months with her. My mom has since stopped coming during the weekends as I can lift Delilah again. It's not too bad actually- I was worried about it but I'm surviving. I've even been able to get them places by myself. Usually just to visit John at work or for our weekly Sunday visit to my parents. Last Saturday I did make a trip to this place called Wendt's Pork Palace (they have yummy wing dings) with Ashley ...
