Grandma's Girl! (July 15 & 16)

Take a look at this picture: Olivia is SHARING her FAVORITE pillow with grandma!! She never does this with mommy or daddy! Each time we try to sneak our heads on to her pillow .... or even ask her if we can share her pillow with her (usually while reading her stories or just cuddling) she will tell us, "I don't want to share" and give us the other pillow to use.  Obviously, she loves her grandma Karen more! haha! But, what's not to love??

My mom came and saved me this weekend! I was just at my whits-end! I was feeling so EXHAUSTED, so EMOTIONAL, in so much PAIN, so NAUSEOUS, STRESED-OUT, OVERWHELMED, and really feeling like I wasn't able to do anything. Not to mention, this is the exact same time my daughter decides she no longer wants to stay in her bed! ...ever...

My mom came to the rescue! She spent two days taking care of me, letting me rest, playing with Olivia, preparing our meals, doing chores, etc, etc, etc. I was able to sleep, sleep, relax, and sleep.

Let me tell you: it was just what I needed! I now feel back to normal (well, with the exception of being seriously pregnant and READY to have this baby), and like I can live a normal life!

Thank you Mom!

By the way, did I mention I am ready to have my baby?! Seriously ready! And, apparently, other people think I am too:
I had a little girl at church ask me if I had TWO babies in my tummy. I assured her there was just one. Good thing this girl is so cute! :)
Still over 3 weeks to go....but, early would be just fine with me.

Aren't grandma's the best. When we don't feel well, aren't mom's the only person who can make it all better!

I am so sorry to hear that you have been having it rough lately. I am more than happy to help In anyway that I can and would love to.

Thank goodness for mom's/grandma's! I hope you have your angel early. The last few weeks can be uncomfortable, hang in there!
