Mother's Day

Yesterday was my first Mother's Day as a mom! It's really kind of strange to think I'm included in that holiday. Wesley is sitting right next to me, but sometimes it's a little surreal to think I'm a mom.

The day started out as a picture perfect Mother's Day - meaning that Wesley took pity on his poor mom and after waking up at 4:30 for a bottle (which Duane took care of) he slept until almost 9:00. That has NEVER happened! Duane took charge of getting Wesley ready for church so I could take a long, relaxing shower and actually blow dry my hair. Duane got me a very sweet card and "Wesley" had already given me a box of very fancy chocolates from Voges and a card.

Once we were all dressed and ready we headed out in the 50-something degree weather (about 20 degrees cooler than usual) and the rain to church. Wesley behaved pretty well in church, but apparently he got Mother's Day and Father's Day mixed up because after being a complete Mommy's boy all week, all he wanted was his Daddy! That continued as we went to brunch with Grandma and Grandpa H. Poor Duane had to eat with his left hand while holding Wesley (who wanted nothing to do with his highchair.) Brunch was delicious though and Wesley behaved quite well - especially since we had already expected him to behave through a church service.

That's the highlights of the day. After brunch the lowlights hit. Duane developed a massive headache and was pretty much immobile the rest of the afternoon. Wesley proceed to have 3 poopy diapers in half and hour and soaked two outfits. Grandma H. brought a ray of sunshine to us when she came down to play for a couple of hours, but once she left the clouds rolled in again. Duane woke up feeling much better, but I developed a terrible tummy-ache and went to bed around 8:00. The good news is that we all feeling better this morning! Happy belated Mother's Day!!!
