Happy Birthday to Me!!

My day started at 2:30 this morning. That is when Zack decided that he was hungry. He began to methodically kick me (we will talk about why he was in my bed at a later date) so since he hadn't eaten since 6:00 I figured he might be hungry. So I got up, made him a bottle and went into his room to sit in the rocking chair.

He sucked it down quickly but then began coughing. You can guess what came next. I could hear it and then I heard the splash as the spit up/baby puke hit the carpet. Happy Birthday mommy!! So I turned on the light and cleaned up the mess. It wasn't a whole lot, probably two of the four ounces but it was still more than I wanted to do at 2:30 in the morning.

Luckily the incident didn't wake him up too much because when I put him in his bassinet he immediately went right back to sleep and slept until 5:00. Which is his wake up time. 5:00 every morning wide awake, eyes open time to get up. Who needs an alarm clock??

As for gifts, there is really not much more for me to get today. Jake gave me my card last night because I am going to dinner with Jess and my MIL and SIL tonight. Yes, he got me a card. No, he didn't make it in craft time. His mom bought it for him. However, according to him and her he is the one that remembered and called her and asked her to buy it. If that is true this is the first time in 10 years that he has remembered my birthday all on his own. That in its self is a big enough present.

As for the rest of my gifts. Shane is going to mow my dandelions, I mean lawn, this evening when Jess and I are out to dinner and Jake's grandma got me these metal tiles that hang on the wall that say live, laugh, love.

My friend Danette got me this really cool bracelet with Zack's name on it.

She has one for each of her kids and I really think it is an awesome idea. It reminds me of my little man every time I look down.

Finally, my mom took me shopping on Sunday and bought me a purse and a wallet. I have been needing one for MONTHS and actually got gift cards for Christmas to go get one but have never gotten it done.

My mom knows this which is why she just took me there and made me pick. If she would have given me money or a gift card I would probably still be carrying around my old purse.

So that's my day in a nutshell. I used all of my personal time on maternity leave or I would be taking the day off to go lounge around. So instead I will be working. Yeah for me!! :-)
