From the confines of my own home (mostly bed)

So today is Mother's Day and I should be blogging about how great I am in every possible way. Instead, it's turned into a great day to showcase my husband...I know, weird, so let me explain.

Jeremiah let me sleep in today, which I desperately needed after my long vacation. I woke up to breakfast in bed, with strawberries, blueberries, crossaints, and scrambled eggs. It was delicious, and while eating Jeremiah gave me my Mother's Day gift, a cookbook from Everyday Italian's Giada De Laurentiis (!!!) and a bookmark. However, things sort of went downhill from there, and either I have the stomach flu or some serious morning sickness, and I'll leave it at that...unless someone wants details? Anyway, Jeremiah took the kids while I slept, he played with them, fed them lunch, and put them down for naps. I finally held down mashed potatoes (oddly enough, the only thing that sounded good) around 4pm and have been weak since, but at least I'm eating. I even held down a slice of Papa Murphys pizza, my own personal choice for Mother's Day dinner...no dishes! I would post my traditional photo of me and my kids, but seriously does anyone want to see how I look right now?!

Anyway, my Mother's Day wasn't as planned, but it turned out okay in the end, and Jeremiah did a great job with the kids while I recovered. A shout out to my own mother...Happy Mother's Day mom! I called her this morning at 8:30am her time hoping to be the first to wish her a happy day, but of course my brother beat me by 5 minutes. And to all my friends and my sisters, happy day to you too.

Happy Mother's Day! You don't need to brag about what a great mother you are b/c we already know it! But it's good to remind us how good jeremiah is...we might forget. lol
I hope you get to feeling better!

That stinks that you are sick!! I love it when husbands are so helpful! So, it was great to see you while you were here and I keep cracking up thinking about Hayden and his moth pictures. What a funny boy!! A girl will definitely be a different experience for you!

Oh how yucky that you were sick! But at least Jeremiah had MORE reason to take care of you! Happy Mother's Day - and mom wants to know if you are getting another ultrasound - she isn't 100% conviced you are having a girl! :)

I'm sorry you were so sick! Hope you're feeling better now! I left you a message on your phone before I got your email that you lost it. So, FYI--I got the port-a-crib from your mom-in-law.
