First Easter

Mr. Easter Bunny stopped by the house last night to leave Miss Vivian some goodies.  Instead of getting her toys, he was kind enough to bring her a mermaid beach towel and duffle bag from Pottery Barn Kids, a book, bubbles and a little candy (for Mommy :))  

Vivian loved holding her bubbles and eggs.  I wish the day was beautiful, weather wise.  Unfortunately, its cold and rainy.  We stilled braved the damp weather and made it to church.

She sat with us for about 20 minutes before I had to take her into the nursery.  She wasn't fussy, but she was doing her 'happy' squeal/scream.  There were several children in the nursery and thankfully she did great.  No tears!  I watched her play with the other children for a little bit before walking back in to get her after the service.  She was crawling around having a grand ole time.  Made me very happy!

After church we had lunch at Slice of Life.  

 Once we got home I was walking across the living room and noticed Brody had devoured the chocolate bunny.  I can't believe her opened the package and ate that sucker.  I called the emergency vet and thankfully they said I didn't have to bring him in since it was only 2.5 ounces.  She said the worse will be some vomiting and diarrhea.  We just need to watch him.  

We are now in our comfy clotged and Vivian is napping.  Poor baby woke up with a runny nose and a little bit of congestion.  Hoping it doesn't turn out like the last time she was sick.

Happy Easter!!!  He is Risen!      

  

Not our Sunday best

Sunday's have not been in our favor. Last Sunday while I was changing clothes, Vivian fell off our chair in the bedroom. She was playing with B's belt and it fell on the floor and so did she.  Poor thing.  I turned and all I could see was her backside, head down, going to the ground. Some how she flipped and landed on her tummy.  She wasn't hurt thank goodness.  Only cried for a second.  At least it wasn't a long fall.

This was all after her not so fun stay at nursery during church.  

Now to yesterday.

Poor kid, again, didn't have a great time in nursery.  She was mad during her stay.  One kid tried taking her toy and she did not like that. She also got mad when they changed her diaper.  They said she wasn't crying until one of the parents ahead of us walked in. Once we walked in, she was hysterical. Took a little while to calm her down.  I think one of the main reasons she's so upset is because it's close to her feeding and nap time.  I give her a little milk on the way to church to hold her over, but when the time between 9/9:30 am rolls around, she knows its time to eat and sleep.  They are going to dread seeing us each Sunday.

After church, I gave her her bottle on the way home and she fell asleep.  Around 10:30 I started my pumping session and while pumping Vivian woke up.  I asked B to get her and change her diaper.  A few minutes later I heard Brian scream, "Oh God!"  I unhooked and ran to her room. Vivian fell off the changing table onto the floor.  That's about a 3 ft fall! He said the diaper pail was full and he was holding the changing pad (not her) and moved the pail and her heard a thump.  Baby girl on the floor on her stomach. 

I got her calmed and thank the GOOD Lord she wasn't hurt.  Scared us both.  

I'm kind of nervous what next Sunday will bring us.  I promise baby girl, we aren't trying to hurt you.  We love you bunches!!!

Side note:  As a baby, I fell out of the tub that was on the counter in the bathroom onto the floor...the hard floor...when my Mom stepped in my room for a quick second to grab something.  

Lesson to parents:  Do not let your child out of site for a second and never let go of them.

 

Mom's Milestone

Today I finally bit the bullet and left Vivian in the church nursery.  We haven't attended church since the end of October and knew it was time to get back in the swing of things.  

When we got there, one little boy was being dropped off at the same time. I'm guessing he was 1.  Vivian just looked around taking everything in as usual.  The little boy started playing with a few toys so I sat Vivian on the floor to let her play.  The young girl volunteering was on the floor as well.  Vivian didn't fuss...just watched.  I think we are good to go!

B and I headed to the sanctuary.  They did give us a pager just in case they needed us.  Comforting to have and no, they did not have to page us.

I managed to focus on the sermon and my mind wasn't constantly on Vivian.  Good sign.  After service was over we made our way back to the nursery.

Vivian was sitting in the young girls lap and there were a few more kids.  When Vivian saw us she started to cry a little.  We were told she did well and the only thing that happened was that one of the kids took her little card that she was playing with and Vivian got really mad.  Vivian was holding this little card when we walked into the nursery.  Crossing fingers we aren't going to have a "No, that's mine" little girl.  Simply another reason why she needs to be around other children. 

I'm glad we both survived because I am ready to get back into going to church.  Happy Sunday!!!
