2/26/11 – Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is my mom’s birthday! YAY. Christian and I were really dragging this morning…just overly exhausted and not prepared to get up and going at all. But, we finally managed to get in some showers, get ourselves dressed, get the girls ready, and were off to meet my mom for lunch. Of course, a new round of snow and ice started up bright and early this morning…made for an interesting commute. Olivia is VERY dramatic about the cold…brrrrrr, cold she exclaims over and over again when we go outside. Yet, she’s perfectly content out in the cold and couldn’t care less. It cracks me up.

After a nice lunch and hanging out for a while, we headed home for nap time. Olivia went right down, and took a REALLY long nap again. Amelia would not go down, and I just felt dead to the world. It must have been terribly obvious, because Christian actually took Amelia and told me to go ahead and take a nap and relax for a while. I just about passed out from shock! Sorry honey, but it’s true! I did not hesitate on taking up this offer, and headed right to bed. This did mean Amelia got a bottle (and I despise dipping into the freezer stash), but it was worth it. Once I woke up, Christian fed Olivia, and then was off to meet a friend for dinner.

Amelia was VERY upset all night. A different kind of upset…she seemed like she was in pain. Nothing made her happy, and it was very stressful. I decided to skip baths, and luckily, even after a long nap, Olivia went down pretty well, and not too late. I gave Amelia some Tylenol and got her down to sleep. Hopefully she can sleep off whatever is going on with her!

Christian arrived home while I was cuddled up watching some Saturday Night Live. We watched a little TV and spent a little time together before I finally went to bed. Can’t stay up TOO late knowing that Amelia would be up sooner or later (probably sooner).

Here are some pictures from our lunch celebration!
