I know I have to be one of the luckiest Moms out there....Ted made sure my day was super special yesterday but I have to admit, I was still super bummed.....my Mom was tragically taken from this World and "Mother's Day" has a new meaning to me. I missed my Mom. The one I would want to see me most as a Mother is gone. I never in a million years pictured her not being here. I still enjoyed moments and felt so lucky to be spoiled by Ted....Elle said throughout the day, "Happy Mother's day Mommy...relax". She's getting SO big and smart...we are amazed each day her new sentences and things she picks up. Ted started my morning off with a coffee- making a drive to a Dunkin Doughnuts-my favorite coffee-which is a 15 minute drive even though we have several coffee shops by our house and also greeted me with flowers and a gift card to a local spa so I can get pampered prior to labor. We said Jamaica was our Mother's day/Father's Day/Anniversary gift to each other....but that always changes.....
And then he put on the most fabulous brunch for our neighbor friends and I.....a homemade egg casserole that he prepped the night before......Belgian waffles with fresh whipping cream, berries and shaved chocolate......we sipped on virgin mimosas.....while Trey and Elle were being little stinkers and chasing each other up the stairs. I was exhausted yesterday though. I officially feel pregnant and candidly, feel like an old lady. Elle and I did the MS walk on Saturday and a mile kicked my butt. I am feeling crampy and achey....I never felt this way with Elle but I assume cleaning more and chasing after a two year old makes you really feel the second pregnancy. My most enjoyable moment though of the entire day was buying flowers to make a flower pot for my porch in honor of my Mom...we came back to the house and Elle and I put it together...she loved getting messy in the dirt and filling up the pot...she was so into it and she even kept saying "for Gramma shevy" was how she would pronounce it.....it still broke my heart why we had to do this.....why can't Mom just be here to see all of this.....
Stuff is coming together. The baby room is looking good, he has clothes and some diapers....fabric was decided on and we have two roman shades being made for the room. I am getting my house cleaned this upcoming weekend, windows professionally cleaned inside and out, and Ted is opening up the lake......we are getting stuff done before he arrives! We have a busy week....tomorrow Teddy and I celebrate 8 years of marriage which is crazy......our new Weber grill will arrive in honor of our special day...then Wednesday I am hosting a mixer at a local martini bar for the Network of Executive Women....I'll be facilitating a panel of leaders within the industry (and, be on my feet and in heels for several hours)....then Thursday, my lovely neighbor girlfriend put together a dinner for me before the baby comes. It will be great to be out to dinner with friends as I know June and July will be spent at home adjusting to our new life....then hopefully he is ready to be on the move just like Elle was. I look forward to some time up at the lake this year....Teddy and his friend Josh designed a sandbox and have plans to build it this weekend at the lake. I know how much Ted has enjoyed honoring my Dad by keeping up the place and adding some fun things to the property like the dock and now this......I know they would be proud....but it will never replace them being there.
Home stretch....about 30 days to go. Wish me luck.
