The weekend started off great. I met my friend Dorota and her baby Matteus at the outlets on Friday. We sat outside and enjoyed a Starbucks, chatted about all things “baby”, caught up on mommy stuff and even shopped a little. It was great! The boys were fabulous!
Saturday was great too. Dustin and I had a nice relaxing day at the house and then our friends Chris and Kimberly came over for dinner and game night. Kimberly made the most amazing enchiladas- seriously heaven in my mouth. Dustin won the board game and thank goodness for that because last time he didn’t take losing so well. Two things he is crazy competitive about- Jeopardy and board games. I love playing with Chris and Kimberly because they really give him a run for his money at both (unlike me who just plays for fun).
Now Sunday… the day was finally here! Mothers Day!!! I had pictures in my head about how great this day was going to be... how it turned out wasn’t exactly how I pictured. I woke up Sunday morning with boulders for boobs. I guess I accidentally turned off my 3:00 alarm to pump. Sure I had gotten 7 hours of sleep, but at a painful cost (this is just one of the joys of breastfeeding if you don’t “get it out” every 3-4 hours). So in agonizing boob pain, I stubble downstairs to find the sweetest scene- Dustin and Dylan are sleeping on the sofa. So cute! (Doesn't it look like Dylan is trying to nurse on Dustin? Better watch those nipples buddy!)
Little did I know that would be the last time Dylan would have his eyes closed for the next 12 hours! Usually Dylan is a fabulous baby- takes long naps and is “ok” not being held 24/7. Well Sunday must have been opposite day. He refused to take a nap and would scream anytime you put him down- I think he had really bad gas all day. My boobs were still in a lot of pain (usually takes several hours for them to go back to normal) so holding him hurt my chest. Thank goodness it was a Sunday and Dustin was home to help. We took turns holding, changing diapers, and feeding. It was one of those non-stop days where you literally don’t get a break. Exhausting. Days like this are the reason we have Mothers Day and Fathers Day- kids are a lot of work!!!The highlight of the day was the Mothers Day card from Dustin. It read “wonderful mother, beautiful wife, precious friend, love of my life- you are my everything”. It was everything I’d ever wanted be, and now I have it all. Wow! Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it! :-) Dustin also got me beautiful flowers and made a fabulous brunch. I’m a very lucky girl, even on those days where things don't go exactly as planned.

I am glad days like that are few and far between! They are no fun at all. It looks like you guys have been having lots of fun though. Happy first Mother's day!!! Love,
