One Half

Dear Andrew, Today, you are six months old. That’s one-half year! I can’t believe it. Time has gone by so quickly and you are growing so fast! You have the prettiest blue eyes. And you are so aware of everything. You love watching the puppies play, especially Georgie. Last night, you were watching Georgie play…

Just Playin’

Andrew will be six months old tomorrow. Can you believe it? It’s like the last six months just flew right by. He went from a quiet, snuggly, snoring baby to an inquisitive, playful, funny, giggling boy. Anything within reach is fair game. Before long, he’ll be walking. If he can survive the face plants, that…

My First Mother’s Day

This is what I got for Mother’s Day. And it’s not even from my husband. He did mail me flowers four days ago, though. Along with a card that said, “Happy mothers day. Love, james and Andrrw” Yeah. Spelled just like that. But when I woke this morning with the glowing anticipation of my very…

I feel your pain! I’ve most definitely been there. I’ve always said that it would be nice if Father’s Day came first so we could show them how to do it!

It has helped to be ever-so-clear about my expectations. “I need a gift first thing in the morning so I’ll have an answer when people ask me what I got for Mother’s Day, okay?”

And about five years ago, after a successful MD (I’ve had ten so far), I said “THIS is what I want every single Mother’s Day from now on.” It’s a G.C for a pedicure. Since it’s the beginning of the summer, it’s something I can use, and now he never has to try to think of a gift for me, which is very helpful. For him and for my sanity. I do have a wonderful husband, and it wasn’t worth me spending every Mother’s Day hurt and angry with him.

Thanks, Nonie! I completely agree… I have to be very specific about what I want from him. This time, I didn’t tell him *exactly* what to get me, and that’s my fault for not being specific enough. I did tell him that he needed to get me *something* and that I was super-excited for the day.

Our marriage is still so new and with a new baby, we’re still learning a lot of things.

I do really like how you told him after a good MD that this is how you want it every year. I’ll definitely do that! :)

Thanks so much for your advice and comments! It’s so wonderful to know I’m not alone!! :)

I Love you and am sorry it was a rough day, but you are right! You are the luckiest Mom I know! Andrew is so perfect! You and I can go treat ourselves to something fun when I get there! Only 5 MORE DAYS! YAY! ( I was stuck in the car all day on my Mothers day and even drove through snow in MAY!, so I need a reward too!)

SEE YOU FRIDAY!

Diamonds! Girl, you gotta ask for the bling. :)
Yeah, husbands can be a bit clueless sometimes but just wait…James will surprise you. It might take years so don’t sweat it.
It was great to see you and the little guy. He’s an angel and you guys are truly blessed.

We Start ‘Em Young

Last night, Andrew was being particularly fussy. The Nerd was doing his best to satisfy the baby, but nothing seemed to help. Then, all of a sudden, it was quiet. The Nerd was gone; so was the baby. After a momentary freak-out, I found the pair of them back in the Nerd Cave. This is…
