Daddy/Daughter Day

My day started early...well I just didn't sleep well. My stomach hurt. I still haven't figured out why. It's something to do with a little Miss Sutton in there. At 6:38 am on this Saturday morning, I had to go potty - not unusual since I'm 33 weeks pregnant. When I got back in bed, I still could not get comfy. Randy snuggled up behind me and put his hand on my "bouncing" tummy. We just lay there for a while feeling Sutton kick, squirm, flip, jump, karate chop - this is at least what it felt like! He finally said, "She's doing cartwheels this morning. Can you sleep when she does that?" I laughed and said no. I had just been lying there smiling. I like it when he gets to feel her move.

So that's how the Daddy/Daughter day started. Daddy "feeling" his youngest girl move and say "Good Morning World"...she may be just like him in the mornings =)

At 3:40 pm, our doorbell rang. It was Daddy coming to pick up Sydney for their date. We had been getting ready, and he had already seen the "finished product", but he always comes to the door like a proper date should. Micah answered the door, and Daddy asked if Sydney was ready for their date. He place the corsage on her little wrist. She held the boutonneire to his lapel pretending to put it on so I could take a pic. We snapped a few shots of them together and off they went to dinner and the Daddy/Daughter Dance.

What a fun day for a daddy. Spending a little time with both his girls. There will come a time when they'll both go to the dance with him. For now, we enjoy getting Sydney ready for the dance and letting Sutton "dance" with Daddy whenever she chooses to be awake in my tummy.

Funny bedtime

Micah is doing great with using the potty. We still, however, put him in a diaper overnight. Sometimes he's dry in the morning. Sometimes he's not. Last night he wanted to wear his underwear. I was reluctant. Randy asked him what he would do if he needed to go tee-tee during the night. M: "I ' feeze ' it" R: "What?" M: "I feeze ' it" I thought maybe he was saying "reach" because he uses an f instead of an r, so we asked. R: "Reach it?" M: "No. ' Feeze ' it" R: "Do you mean freeze it?" M: "Yes" We still had no idea what that meant but were already laughing. R: "Like the cops say "freeze" and you hold your hands up?" M: "Yes. I say ' feeze ' and go in there and go potty" as he pointed to the bathroom. We all laughed hysterically !!

      As I sat here listening to Gov. Abbott tell us the plan for opening the state of Texas, I could see our daughter, who is a senior, standing across the room. When Gov. Abbott mentioned schools will be closed for the rest of the year, her shoulders dropped a little. Then when he talked about graduation, or at least some type of plan for it, her shoulders and countenance dropped even more knowing graduation will most likely not happen as she planned. It was the first time I had seen her feelings about this in physical form.              Yes, I hurt for her. I know she wants to wear her cap and gown. She wants to decorate the top of that mortar board so we can “find” her in the sea of black gowns and matching caps. She was excited to receive her graduation package back in March – two days before spring break, two days before her senior year ended, two days before her life of primary education ended. Non...

Mixed emotions

Here I am just a little over 14 days until Sutton's c-section date, and my emotions are weird, again! I am so excited to have her here to hold her, kiss her, watch her being loved on and hugged on by Sydney and Micah. It is just so exciting!!! However, at the same time, I'm sad. I've come to realize that this the last time I'll be pregnant...which is something I truly enjoy. So the "mixed" part is that I don't want her to come out just yet. I want to continue to feel her kicking and moving around on the inside. It's such an amazing feeling that only God could create! So that is where I am. Pray for me, please. Both are strong emotions right now. My other concern is I don't want to go through post-partum like I did with Sydney. Thanks for reading this one =)
