Flowers
I had a nice surprise waiting for me when I got back from picking up Tyler from school on Thursday. John's boss had sent us these flowers:
Aren't they cute? I thought that was really nice of Keith (or most likely his secretary). LOL!
My MIL left in the afternoon on Thursday. I miss her already! She may not think so, but she was a huge help. Just being able to take a little nap each day made a big difference in how I felt. Now it's Saturday and I'm BEAT. I actually cried last night when Chili's screwed up my dinner take-out order. Talk about crying over spilt milk! I think my PMDD is acting up again. Or it could be just plain exhaustion.
Tomorrow my parents are coming down and my mom plans to stay for the week. We'll see how that goes. Unlike my MIL, my mom doesn't just "do". She waits to be told. She also doesn't attempt to find things on her own or help herself; she asks. That can get on a person's nerves when they are sleep deprived. I am praying for an extra dose of patience this week.
Tyler is starting to show some classic signs of jealousy. He's been very possesive of his things and space. He is being a tad uncooperative and is acting out a bit. He's been clingy, especially to his Dad, and is craving attention. But all are mild and manageble. He's making good progress.

And, I understand Tyler's point of view entirely. My Mom says that when she was pregnant and they told me about the baby I told them, "But, I want to be an only child!" I was 3 {LOL}. Then, they brought him home. They let me feed him, help dress him, etc and after about a week I asked "When is he going back to the hospital where he belongs". But, I love him to death now.
I remember that awful feeling of being awakened from a sound sleep by a baby's cry, and thinking, "Oh no", then feeling guilty for thinking that. Take it from someone who is 62, these days will be over before you know it, and you'll be wishing for just one of them back.
The flowers are gorgeous and such a cute way to display them!
Get some sleep!

I'm afraid that Anthony will be jealous of this little one too. I'm crossing my fingers that it will be managable as well. I'll be looking for some pointers soon I'm sure ;)
