Our day

My Sunday was so exhausting. I woke up to a house that looked like a bomb had exploded.....baby's toys everywhere, a kitchen that had a HUMONGOUS pile of dishes and to top it all up....my mom had friends coming over. As my usual weekends go...I woke up early, got up late! I was home alone but I had to perform a miracle. I took JJ to my brother's place then started on the dishes...wish I had started with the living room. My other brother arrived but I still had to finish in the kitchen then start on lunch.

Then the worst happens...the visitors arrive!!! To the messy living room and still uninviting kitchen (yes, they came into the kitchen to say hi). My brother offers them tea which he asks ME how its prepared...that only means one thing.."please help me prepare them visitors some tea"...which I do.

Well, the 'wageni' later on leave and I eventually finish the dishes and clean up the living room. Mom comes with lunch so I'm a bit relived.

As per the usual Sunday traditions it tea-time at my sister's place...so I prep JJ, myself  and then my younger-elder brother carries him and we're off.

To cut this short we had a great time with family and friends and I can't complain. I have a great family and one awesome son!

We sometimes wake to the most disastrous days and sometimes wish they weren't happening but when all is said and done and we look back...we appreciate everything about that day.

That was my day...how was yours?

God Bless you and I love you!!

Go to sleep, Lullaby....

Gone are the days JJ used to sleep without being rocked or lulled! Gone are the days when he was so light to hold! Now I enjoy watching him grow without complaining about his fussing before falling asleep and his very heavy little self! As he finally drifts away, his handsome little face becomes the most calm and peaceful sight on earth.

I don't have to seek miracles anymore:
The miracle found me.

Goodnight my precious.

Sigh!

Woke up early, got up late!!

I'm beat! That was one long week...but I still have chores to tend to. I have to do baby's laundry and I have cards to make. I also have to do the dishes and clean the house up. I have learned to multi-task with the baby taking my attention and all.

As I write this...I am watching JJ jump on his 'bumper jumper'. This gadget is a life saver!! I can now accomplish more than I ever could before. It keeps him entertained and he sure does love it!

Now am off to take a bath then start on baby's lunch and then finish my chores before the day ends.

Injections

Today I took my son Josh for his 9month and am guessing final shot - the measles one. It wasn't so bad, he only cried when the needle was coming out. This got me thinking of all the shots he's gone for since his birth.
The first time he was so tiny...I felt sorry for him because the only way he could express himself was by squirming and letting out a squeal. The rest of them...he took like a man! He's a great boy! I have always been afraid of needles and so I had to ask my mom to hold him for all of them.....yes I'm chicken! But I was there for all of them.
The only time I couldn't take it was a time he was ill and I was told to get him to the lab for blood check...they had to draw the blood from his veins!!! That there was painful enough. His first arm couldn't give enough so they had to draw it from the other arm...He cried so much...I had to fight back my own tears :-(.

The day now ends with him in my arms...he sleeps peacefully after a couple of hours of playtime which nowadays entail..pulling my hair, biting and pinching my arms, trying to unzip my jacket with his little hands (and if they fail him, use his mouth), giving me sloppy kisses, playing with my collar-bone, imitating me and laughing at me when he gives me an "ouchie"! He truly is a blessing and I Love him! Thank you Jesus!

We are Blessed!!

I will arise and give thanks to You Lord, my God

And Your Name I will bless with my whole heart.

For You have shown mercy to me.

I give thanks to You LORD!!

I wake each morning and the first face i see is my little boy's! I bless each day I look into his eyes. He makes me wake and do all I can. He inspires my day and I can't help but share these special days with you. I would also like to tun this into a sharing place where we can share experiences as mommies and even help each other out where we get stuck. We have Precious Children, We are Precious Mommies, and Precious times we will share in love.

Welcome Azizi Mommy!
