Roll call - Mothers Day edition :)
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY 
Words cannot express how blessed I feel to be little Aubrey's mom. My heart is just so full of love for such a tiny little thing. So happy mothers day to FTM's and BTDT moms alike
And I'm watching a very depressing Lifetime movie about a woman who thinks her newborn baby girl was killed in a house fire but discovers she was stolen. Why are they airing this on mothers day? It just makes me squeeze my baby tighter - my baby who decided to go to bed 2hrs early and who has been sleeping on my chest for the past 4hrs. I'm totally kicking myself for not going to bed but I thought it would be a short nap and now I'm just waiting to feed her so we can both officially go to bed. And I'm trying to forget about the banana cream pie I bought to bring over to my moms house tomorrow before I take a huge slice out of it.

Happy Mother's Day!
Sometimes I still can't believe that I have a baby. It seems like a dream. But there is nothing better to me than my little guy.
Right now, BF is giving DS his bottle before bed, while I download the Couch to 5K (c25k) podcasts. Also trying to find my gram's Mother's Day Card. I know I left it on the coffee table, I just have to dig through all the baby stuff on top...then, glorious bed.
Not quite Mother's Day yet since its only 9pm here. I'm just waiting for DH to get back from his Thor premiere so he can take over watching the LO for me. I am not-so-secretly bitter that he went to this movie tonight since its getting good reviews and I wanted to see it. Therefore, I'm not trying really hard to wake LO up from the on and off nap he's been taking all afternoon
Guess who's night it is to stay up with the baby!
In all seriousness, I would have laughed if you told me last year that I'd be a mother this year. Its still a little hard to believe that this cute little thing is mine! I definitely wouldn't trade him for anything in the world.

Yeah DH started making plans to see the new Pirates movie with coworkers until I gave him the stink eye. I LOVE those movies - I think grandma will have a babysitting job in her near future!

It's only almost 10 p.m. here. We went to the Bluegrass Jam at the coffee and wine bar I mentioned earlier, and Jared took his guitar and played with the other musicians. He did one song with Liam sitting on the guitar (since it's Liam's favorite way to fall asleep), and all of these people took pics of it and thought it was sooo cute :-) Liam slept most of the time and looked around in his "quiet alert" state for maybe 20 minutes during our outing...
Other than that, I've been BFing on the couch then Liam falls asleep across my lap, then I BF some more while reading The Attachment Parenting Book. I LOVE it, by the way.
To the people who said they would have never believed a year ago they'd be mothers. YUP. 100% agree. My college plans FOREVER in advance what we'll be teaching because there are only 3 English professors, and three years ago, they gave me my 2011 and 2012 schedule, and I joked that I'd need 2011 off for maternity leave and 2012 off for rehab. Looks like someone's heading to rehab next year ;-)
Mac and cheese lover!
Right now we're watching Lost Boys: The Tribe and DF just finished giving Audrey her bottle. My poor baby has thrush and hasn't really been able to BF well the past couple of days so I've been pumping. I had a bit of a meltdown last night because it was one of those days where I felt like I couldn't do anything right for her. She's been super fussy the past few days and last night I was tired and I just broke down. We slept in this morning though and had some nice family snuggle time in bed for a couple of hours
Tomorrow DF was going to make me chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast but we don't have any syrup. Oh well lol. We're going to my parents for dinner and his mom and my brother and his two girls will be there. We bought some super cute shoes today to go with the dress Peanut is wearing tomorrow. I'm so excited!
I know what you guys mean.. sometimes I look at my girl and think.. wow.. she's really here.. she's ours and we're not just babysitting for someone lol!
I feel so blessed that I was able to become a mother just in the knick of time for Mother's Day this year. My DH already had flowers delivered to the house and the card read, "We have a beautiful baby and you are a very beautiful mother. I love you." [Insert tear of happiness here]
But right now, I just finished feeding Brooke and I feel so dumb for being so anxious that she is in her crib already (she HATES the bassinet). She is actually sleeping for long stretches but the fact that she is in another room is actually making me worried, even though I have super awesome monitors. I NEED TO STOP WORRYING!!!

Happy Mother's Day, gals
Baby D and I were up a lot last night, he's hitting another growth spurt and is eating non-stop. I'm so sleep deprived but I'm not even irritated about it, every time I touch or kiss him all the exhaustion just melts away 
He's currently sleeping in his grandpa's arms, DH just came back from the store with what I think is donuts (oh yum!) and I've got a nice steaming cup of coffee in front of me. Life is good!
Hope you all enjoy your day!!
