Have I mentioned yet that Abby is
cruising? Remember how a couple weeks ago I said that she had pulled herself up
and she had just mastered crawling? Now she is cruising along and climbing over
things! Next thing I know, she is going to be pushing things over to help her
climb up onto things! Bing a stay at home mom really is a full time job plus
overtime! I might not get paid in real money (only Monopoly) and I don’t get
real vacation time or weekends off, but with all of the smiles and hugs and
kisses that I get, I get paid better than anyone else in the world!
I was pretty excited that I could
go to the Relief Society Enrichment Activity this week! Roland had the night
off, so I carpooled with another sister from the branch and was able to have
some ADULT FEMALE conversation without a baby on my hip! It was AMAZING to have
some me time, but kind of weird not to have her with me! When I came back home, I arrived to a somewhat
clean house (no worse than I left it), dinner made, a husband doing homework,
and a sleeping baby! What a great husband I have!
On Friday, September 21, our family
grew just a little bigger; Emily Evelyn Huckbody was born at 7:20 AM! Emily was
5 lbs. 14 oz. 16 inches long. What a little miracle baby she is and a blessing
to us all! I am so proud to be her aunt! Roland’s sister, Nicole, and her
husband, Joseph, are amazing people and wonderful parents! It was a very
complicated pregnancy and we weren’t sure if she would make it to birth alive,
but she is a fighter! We don’t know how long we have with little Emily, but we
are going to live life to the fullest and appreciate each and every moment that
we have with her! Emily is pretty much the cutest thing ever and I am so glad
that she is part of our family! J
One morning this week I went in to
check on Abby and I found her sleeping … on her stomach … on top of her blanket
… with her head where her feet should be! Has my silly girl figured out how to
fall back asleep on her own? I guess only time will tell! Wish us luck!
I think Sunday just might have been
one of the hardest days of my entire life … Abby thought it was time to get up
and play at 4:30 in the morning! That wouldn’t be the end of the world, if
church wasn’t right at the time that Abby usually takes her morning nap! Let me
just say, it was interesting and I am so glad that Roland didn’t have to work
until AFTER church so he could take over! I was able to get Abby to take an
afternoon nap, so it wasn’t a totally horrible day, because when Abby is
sleeping, I can sleep!
