My best friend of 19 years, Jamie came over to visit with her Husband, Max. That same day my Aunt Kathy and cousins Jessica, and Angelica came over and spent time with us and the baby. They brought the cutest gifts for Aowyn!! Jessica's boyfriend Matt even dropped by. It was so precious to watch two of them holding Aowyn and staring at her.
Mike's good friend of many years, Jeff (who is also the older brother of my best friend Amy) came over with his wife, Amy, and Daughter Allison (who is 17 mos) this was a fantastic visit. They came bearing gifts for the baby... and an amazing gift for us as well... pre-made dinner!!! Baked ziti, salad, bread, soda...and delicious brownies!...the works!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNDDD.... Amy did the dishes and cleaned up! SUCH good friends!!
Ally is soooooo cute! And so full of energy. It was kinda crazy for me to look at her her and pick her up after looking at and holding Aowyn...only. This baby seemed sooo big! and when I picked her up I really wasn't prepared for the weight difference. It made me laugh to myself. Ally would come up to Aowyn, point and say "baby. baby." :-D
I had never spent a lot of time with Amy before, we knew each other, but never hung out really. Man, I really like her! So sweet, and funny! We sat on the couch and talked about mommyhood and babies. and it was so nice to hear another mommy talk about it the same as me... not all "fuzzy and hunky dory." the fact that its hard, and pregnancy pretty much sucks, and labor is traumatizing! hahaha! Amy also let me borrow a book about breastfeeding. Thank goodness for that book, cuz I would never know the things I know now!! I feel so much better about how I am feeding my baby, and how to care for my milk bags... formerly known as breasts!
My best friend Julie came over with her Husband, Chris, and her Son, Brayden. Aowyn is so lucky, everyone is always bringing her gifts!!! This was a really nice visit, cuz I had not seen them in a long while, and it was good to sit and talk to young parents of a young child... they can identify. It feels so good to have friends like that. Brayden was adorable, he would runaround and explore, and then come sit on the couch with us. We went up to Aowyns room and Brayden got to play with some of her toys... hey, she ain't gonna do it anytime soon! They need testing! Brayden is just such a heart breaker...
check this out!
ADORABLE!!
My Dad and Jane also came over once and made us an unbelievable grilled surf and turf dinner! It never occurred to me that people do such nice things and reach out to help when you have a baby... I was so touch by each visit and gesture. I hope to pass on the kindness to people in the future.
