A Day Alone [[Surrounded by Family]]

June 10, 2011
Nathaniel had to leave early this morning to go to Tyler, TX for a class for work so it was just me and Lilah here. I was still moving really slow because my tummy hurt but I managed by myself. Lilah woke up around 730 to nurse and she was back asleep by 745 (lets hear it for sleepy babies!!) I had just eaten a bowl of cereal when someone started tapping on my door at 8. It was Ms. Christine. Lilah was asleep in the bassinet in the living room and the tv was on real quiet so I walked to the bathroom and was going to pretend I was asleep. After knocking for a few minutes on the door, she walked around and started tapping on the bedroom window, which really pissed me off. If I HAD been asleep and she had done that, I would NOT have been as cordial when I answered the door. As it was, I went ahead and answered it. She looked past me and looked around and asked how I was and if I had eaten breakfast and needed help. I told her Lilah had just eaten and was already asleep and that I already ate and no, thank you, but I didn't need any help.  I think she was disappointed that I didn't offer her to come in but I was not in the mood to deal with her. Not while Nathaniel wasn't here. So she left and it was nice and quiet again.

We managed pretty good all day. I kept getting up and walking around to keep my stomach working.I ate some mac and cheese for lunch then I called Mom and talked for a little while and she told me that her and Sam were coming down and would be here Sunday. I was excited!! Mom hasn't been down here yet to visit, not once since I moved in 2005 so she hasn't seen how pretty it is down here. And it would be a trip for Sam, who's never been out of Missouri :) I texted Nathaniel and told him and asked if it was okay and he said it was...

Nathaniel got home around 9 and brought pizza. I did good and only took 2 pain pills and one motrin all day. I didn't want to get addicted to them and I'm usually good at managing my own pain. It still hurt like hell to get up and down but it had to hurt in order to get better, right?

Yay!! Mom and Sam got in!! We loaded up in the truck and went to Waffle Shoppe to eat breakfast and meet them to lead them thru the maze that we live in. I love my waffles with strawberries and whip cream. It's like crack. Only better. And JUST as addicting lol

They finally showed up and ordered breakfast and Mom kept saying how beautiful she was and how much hair she has :) Proud Gramma, that's for sure. She held her the whole time we were there. When we got home, she let Bear out and he went nuts. Got to see Bella {who was intrigued and wanted to play, much to Bear's dismay lol} Rick and Monica were at the house when we got here as well. Rick hadn't gotten to see Lilah yet and Monica had only seen her for a few minutes at the hospital in the middle of the parade that came to say hello.

Rick was amazed by how tiny she was and wouldn't hold her until he sat down. We stayed on the porch visiting for a while. Lilah farted on him, right in his hand, which was hilarious lol She definately knows her Uncle Rick. Monica was just as excited to hold her {she's due in August with her little girl and she said she is SOOOOO ready}. Nathaniel went to check the pool and apparantly there were a couple of dead frogs in the filter lol Sam ended up rescuing him since Rick wouldn't.. Poor Nathaniel :/

All in all, it was a very happy, busy day. I'm kind of worried that Mom isn't eating much. Still drinks coffee like crazy, but she only eats a bite or two when she does eat. Mom is eating less than I was before I got pregnant and I was TRYING to lose weight. I hope it's just a bug or something and not anything more serious. Sam seems happy enough though. Her and Nathaniel played the Wii for the most part.. or watched tv. Lol I forgot how much I miss being around my family. I love my home and my little family, but I miss my Mom and everyone in Missouri...

I can't wait to visit them!!
