I haven't blogged in ages! I apologize for my absence. I've been very exhausted and busy! It's been a little tricky adjusting my schedule and routines to accommodate two little ones. But, honestly, I'm learning to enjoy the challenge. It just means I need to be more efficient with my tasks and also much more flexible. Now that I'm nursing again I can't be too rigid with my routines, because I'm working around a newborn's unpredictable schedule! Goodness, Becca is so cute, but so much work. I really love her!
Anyway, I've been up to a slew of activites, which many have required getting Emma
and Becca ready and out the door... plus the challenge of toting them both around once we're out. It's been a learning experience to say the least. :) So, to start... we went out with our friends on Cinco de Mayo to eat at the Mexican restaurant, Abuelo's. It was a busy night for eating out with the holiday and all, so we had quite a long wait before getting in to eat... however, it was good to get out and do something fun! This past week, there was a lot of things to do... On Tuesday morning I went to Heather's and she took some great pictures of Becca. I just got the cutest baby announcement printed and I'll be 
sending them out to 
family this week. What a cute little one I have! I love being a proud mother! :) Tuesday evening, we had a craft night at Taya's. I made a great Mother's Day present for my lovely mommy, with a lot of help from my talented friends! Thanks to them, my cute mom will have a nice homemade gift from me. he, he. On Wednesday, Trevi and Lauren had their 3rd birthday party. Such cute little girls! Emma loved swimming in the pool and eating lots of cake and ice cream. On Wednesday evening, I threw a baby shower for Melinda at our place. We had a great turnout! I was so happy! 
On Thursday, my nice hubby and his and my parents all helped pay for me to get a massage! Woohoo! Ben says it was for my "after-having-a-baby" present. How nice. I went with Taya (which was so great!) to the Nordstrom Spa and I felt so pampered. It was especially fun to go with a friend.
Well, that wraps up most the goings on these past couple of weeks. It's been fun and busy... almost too busy. This week will be a little slower, which I'm glad for. I'm tired. ;)
You look great! I'm glad you've been doing some fun things.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a large crowd in your living room! They appear to be a nice group of girls.
I hope you have a good mothers day.
So far I've had pancakes with strawberries served out on the patio.
I am so proud of of you for pamering yourself... I am also amazed at all you get done with a newborn... I can't wait to see the pics of baby rebecca!!
ReplyDeleteI hope I can adjust with 2 children, as well as you have!!! You've been busy! And you are right baby Rebecca is a cutie..not to mention she is such a good baby!
ReplyDeleteWow, you have been very busy! Caring for two SueBens must be a challenge. It's good to hear that you are handling it so well.
ReplyDeleteOh and happy day-after-mothers-day!
:D
You look so cute! The swimming pool pictures make me homesick! =) I can't wait for the next picture installment - I'm sure Rebecca is growing so fast!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see your family and friends frolicking in the summer time activities. Maybe you would like to join your sibling in a backyard sleep over in the coming weeks!
