They arrived on Friday after a delay from the snow storm and you and I met up with them for lunch at Applebees. They cried the moment they saw you. Both of them think you are just perfect. After lunch we went back to our house and visited. We were showered with wonderful gifts. You for just being you and me for my birthday. Later in the evening you, Nana and I went to your very first hockey game. I know - shocking your Dad didn't take you to your first hockey game but he was driving home from Twin Falls and so he didn't make it in time for the game. You did fabulous at the game. I fed you right when we got there and then you just slept the whole rest of the game. When we came home your Nana fell on the step going into our house as she was trying to take Bailey outside and hurt her hand.
On Saturday Nana's hand wasn't any better so Great Grandma wanted to take her to the Urgent Care to get it checked out. So we went off to the Urgent Care and spent the afternoon there. Turns out that Nana broke her middle finger. We had Aunt Megan and Uncle Chris over for dinner that evening. It was wonderful to catch up with everyone since Great Grandma and Nana haven't seen Uncle Chris or Aunt Megan since your Dad and I's wedding.
On Sunday we went out to breakfast at the Egg Factory with Great Grandma, Nana, and your Nana Kay and Grandpa Harper. You were wonderful at breakfast and all the grandparents passed you around during the meal. The next part was my first proud mommy moment. Great Grandma Linda was holding you toward the end of the meal and you started to cry. Naturally you were passed off to me and the moment that I got you in my arms you stopped crying, looked up at me and just grinned. You knew who I was and you were so happy to see me. I teared up with emotion and love for you in that moment. What a wonderful feeling to know that you finally recognize me. I have been told from many people that you know my voice and perk up whenever you hear it, but to actually see you recognize my face was a magical moment for me.
The rest of the day was pretty low key. Great Grandma and Nana went shopping while your Dad you and me went to Target. I bought a breast pump to start pumping for you and I bought a MOBY wrap. It is like a sling for you to sit in next to me. We went home took a nap and then Nana came back for dinner. I made spaghetti and Aunt Megan came over for dinner again.
Today your grandmas left to go home. We ran to Walmart in order to get them pictures of you to take home. We said our goodbyes and then they were on their way.
I put you in the MOBY wrap at Walmart today and you loved it! You fell asleep after only a few minutes in it and I was able to shop for over an hour with you right next to me. We got home later on and you were an angel and slept while I made a dinner of shepherd's pie for Dad.
