Mommy's Days

I just celebrated my 36th Birthday! My day started out as any regular mommy day. Awake with baby Madison at 5:30.  Mikayla woke up super early at 6:15 and started demanding things like juice and snacks and Strawberry Shortcake episodes. I tried to do some grocery shopping and a few errands but couldn't even leave the house. I had Mikayla and Malia all dressed and ready to go but Madison wasn't having it. By the time I got her fed, changed and settled, it was time to get the older girls ready for lunch and nap. So, when they were all down, I had a chance to clean up a bit, shower and figure out what I was going to wear for my surprise date night! Mark left work early but we still started our night out running late. In spite of our time crunch we had a wonderful time! Dinner at a Korean Bar-B-Q, tango lessons and a trip to the Empire State Building! Once we were home long enough to relieve the babysitter, Malia woke up crying for mommy and my carriage turned back into a pumpkin!

The next day Mikayla still woke up wanting a party for mommy! It's funny, in a child's eyes it's not a birthday without cake! So, she helped me make meatball stew for dinner and a vanilla cake from scratch with a lemon cream cheese frosting! Once Mark came home, we ate and they sang happy birthday with candles and all! Now, I'm sure she's satisfied that I had an actual birthday!

A few days later was mother's day. Mark & Mikayla have a daddy/daughter day every Sunday. They take a swimming class at the nearby YMCA! Mark asked me what I wanted for that day & I said, a nap and an uninterrupted shower. I attempted the nap to no avail and the shower didn't happen either. We did, however, have a lovely picnic at Pelam Bay Park, which is the largest park in NYC (even Central Park)! I'd like to, especially, thank my sister Allyson for babysitting on my birthday and to everyone who sent me love via text and facebook! I really had a great week/weekend and I feel so loved! :)

Vacation

Is it a rule of the universe that when you travel with your kids they must always get sick? We just returned from visiting my mom in Florida for just over a week and this trip was actually different! Instead of one kid getting a little cold, two kids got a virus that landed one in the ER and one at an urgent care clinic! To make matters even worse, my tooth chipped and I had to go to a dentist the morning of our return flight! Talk about a whirlwind! Now were are back home and I have the pleasure of schedulling all of our follow up care. Love it!

Happy New Year

The girls and I took an extended vacation in Florida this year. We had a great time with Grandma and GG! We really enjoyed the warm weather and visiting with friends and family. Mikayla can't stop talking about Uncle & little cousin Erin, Chuchia Maymie, Debra and Aunt Lina! Now we are back in NYC, locked up in the house for the most part. It is very cold outside. We've seen a few flurries but no snow as yet. As of today, the countdown to the next baby is 5 weeks! I can't believe it! I have nothing ready, including myself! I'm ready to not be pregnant anymore, but I would never want to rush the little one. I still haven't finalized a name yet. Mark suggested Madison and I'm still leaning towards Lindsey! This entry is going to be a short one. I hear my little ones waking up!

February 2012

Ok, the purpose of this blog was for me to start writing. I used to write stories and such and I always enjoyed the process. It has been more years than I would like to count since I have done any of it. As you can see, I have only 2 entries. Being a new full time stay at home mommy, preparing for baby #3 whom is due at any moment and trying to find time to write has been a huge challenge. I have decided that I really need to make the time to sit down and begin... Let's begin with this week. The weather has been unseasonably warm this week. We have had more outings than normal. We have our regular playgroup session every Thursday. Mark came with me this Wednesday for my weekly Doc visit which was a nice change. They went to the playground at least twice this week! We played out on the front porch, and a few trips to the corner & grocery stores. Phew! Lots of walking for a very prego mommy but good times! I did have a few days of very intense lower back pain. I thought ...
