Claire
Yes I put my daughters before my birthday information because they are more important to me than myself which isn't hard to see when I feed them and take care of them before my own needs. Claire has been having fun with her sister this week and likes playing some interesting games which make me wish I could read her cute little mind. She had a horrible incident which I will go into better detail later, but is a champ and fought through the pain and is our happy girl again. She got a new birthday toy from her other set of cousins and has been loving learning new words from the book that makes fun sounds and sings.
Shay
Our sweet little girl is such a spoiled girl! We tried to introduce a bottle to her this past week with ZERO success but a lot less sleep because of it. We wanted her to be able to eat while we went on our week long hike and she stayed with her aunt and uncle, but now that she had so much trouble I'll be staying with my girls. She normally sleeps pretty good stretches but when presented with a bottle instead of breastfeeding she looses her mind and yells at us until we cave. It is so hard to get her to see reason...I'm a bit sad about not getting to go hiking but I'll be glad to stay with my girls especially with Shay still being so dependent and young. Also she seems like she will be crawling soon because her tummy time consists of pushing up all the time! I wouldn't want to miss that. She is also very facinated with her sister and loves to watch her and play together.
The Birthday Fun
Chris woke up early and took Shay out of the room so I could sleep in, then I was woken up with breakfast in bed of my favorite, French toast! My birthday presents included a picnic blanket, a light weight sleeping pad, a set of jewelry, and a travel organizer. We also had our neighbor offer to watch the girls for a short while so we could go eat and see the new Lion King movie as a lunch date. Our night included cuddling with my girls while watching a movie, fulfilling my craving for thin crust pizza and a wonderful massage. A wonderful birthday to turn 28 but I'll be honest that I don't feel like I'm in my late 20s but I look back on the last few years and I am satisfied with my accomplishments. I've ran a half-marathon, had a baby, loved my daughters more than life, grown and developed with my husband, and been happy. I got to learn how to make a craft this week too and even though I don't know where to display one in my house, I do plan on giving this one I made as a gift, and hopefully having one eventually.
The Horrible Incident
As much fun as I had on my birthday, there was the sad event that Claire went through of falling into a medal gate when we were getting ready to leave the gym. I always ask for Claire's help finding Shay when I pick them up from the Kidcare and this unfortunate time she lost her balance while running as fast as she could and hit her head. There was a pretty bad cut that started to bleed immediately and luckily for me, Chris kept his cool and applied pressure to the bleeding while the first aid kit was brought over and when we got home he was able to use his medical calmness and skills to glue her skin back together. I was a mess of tears but I did my best to help hold her arms and comfort her through the painful parts and she barely notices it unless we touch it.
Wind Rivers
This is the hiking trip we've been planning for a month and that Chris gets to go on this week...and I'm trying to stay positive and let him enjoy it since I won't be there. Luckily he knows how to cheer me up and tells me he won't enjoy it as much since I'm not going but is very happy his girls will all be together and safe. I made him promise to learn the paths to take and get good pictures for me so I can experience it when he gets home. Our new plan is to 100% go next year even if it just has to be the two of us because we bought a women's hiking backpack, a lightweight tent, a water purifier, and was gifted a sleeping pad all for this trip that I won't even use now. Still trying not to be bitter about not getting to go...hope you can't tell!
