After I had my baby, I was ready to go home. I don't know why exactly, everyone said I was nuts, that I should have stayed a little longer and enjoyed the "concierge", But that is one expensive hotel. I was really wanting to get life going with this little baby girl. As I have said before, the newborn stage is not my thing. I enjoy their cuteness and... well it pretty much ends there. But little girls come with something little boys don't get, PINK!!! And purple too. Dresses, and bows, and ribbons, and flowers, frilly lace, and oh so much more. That was so worth the 3am wake ups, and the 6 am, and 9 am, and.....
Just 2 days after being discharged from the hospital my mother-in-law came to visit. We didn't know when this little one would pop, and so the initial plan was for her to come and help out with B before the delivery and while we were in the hospital. Pretty princess had her own thoughts on when she would celebrate her birthday and came before gammy got there.
Now in thoughts that one day she may read this, I will say... I love my mother-in-law, and her intentions were probably good. But she knows this was not a good trip to visit. I was already upset she wasn't coming when I wanted her to come. And B has never really gotten to know her extremely well. Well if you remember to my previous post, little prince charming didn't want anyone holding his baby except mommy. Well Gammy was no exception. She, as most new grandmothers would, wanted to hold the baby. Fights ensued. Annoyed by anything that require my eyes be open, more fights ensued. I am glad she came in retrospect.
During her visit we celebrated his third birthday. No big party like the previous year, just some cup cakes and presents. He ate dinner at McD's and we saw Lion King in theaters. He got a power wheel cop car. So in his mind PERFECT.
The first week of October my mom visited. B had calmed a bit, but still needed mommy to have control of his baby. It wasn't a very exciting visit, but mommy always knows how to make you feel better. I think I needed no excitement anyways.
When she left it was one more week at home and then back to work.
