It’s been a rough week over here after having such a fun weekend! Spent last weekend back home with my friends and family. Had my baby shower Saturday, which was great! I got so many awesome things and am so thankful! Got my pack-n-play, diaper bags, clothes, lots of baby necessities, some decor, etc etc! So exciting! 🙂 My favorite story is a gift my mom’s friend Gail got for me… One of her oldest dearest friends, kept one of my baby sweaters from a yard sale my Mom was having years and years ago! Said she couldn’t let me mom part with it because it made her think of me. So she said she would keep it and give it to my kids one day! Well… that’s just what she did. So thoughtful and sentimental, I love it!
Caitlyn and I made some eggless cookie dough while I was home….. YUM. definitely fulfills the craving. And then Sunday, we went to Atlanta to celebrate my niece’s 4th birthday party! She was adorable, and just loving every minute of it. Such a fun age! So we head home after a fun weekend, Bubba wakes up in the middle of the night sick as can be, high fever, the chills, you name it. Not fun. I was so afraid I was going to get whatever he had! But thank GOD I didn’t. He was sick in bed for two days! And then we get the news in the midst of all of this that his Grandaddy has passed away, after complications with a surgery he had over the weekend from falling and breaking his hip. So so sad… But we know he is now with Grandma and with Jesus and he’s never been happier! Hard to let people go, but so comforting knowing he’s in a better place! I’m so sad Cooper will never get to meet him, but I know without a doubt that Grandaddy will be watching over him, he was so excited about Cooper! And I know he will learn about him from the rest of the family, as they could tell stories for days! What a life he had! I’m so thankful for the short time I have had to call him Grandaddy, as I never got to meet mine. He was definitely one of a kind. So needless to say I have been on an emotional roller coaster this week! Hormones don’t help the situation. But, I’m looking forward to taking a mini beach trip next weekend with my friends, even though I may be mistaken for a beached whale, I’ll take it. This second trimester is almost over! So hard to believe! It’s about to be countdown time!
