Thursday Five

.....because sometimes it's a blessing to reflect upon the GOOD in life!

Happy Happy Thursday!

It's that super fun time again to post 5 things that have made you feel..

Blessed
Delighted
Joyous
Cheerful
Jolly

1) I got to meet this precious little bundle of joy on Wednesday.

Charlotte Joy

I met Charlotte's parents at our birth class when I was pregnant with Emersyn. They have the CUTEST little guy, Rowen. Him and Ems are buds and about a month and a half apart. While holding Charlotte I am pretty sure Brianne (her mama) could hear my uterus aching because she asked if looking at the baby gave me an itch. I started talking about how crazy it is to think that if I got pregnant now it wouldn't be like that unheard of, meanwhile a friend of hers was in the room that was super prego with her second child and was holding her 10 month old baby. I totally felt like I stuck my foot in my mouth (something I do often) because I wasn't meaning to imply that having babies close together is wrong or crazy, just for ME it would be crazy and it's hard to believe that if I got pregnant now, my kids would be at least two years apart. Whew. Had to get that off my chest, could you tell I lost sleep over this last night?? :) Anyways, I hope that Brianne and her friend can forgive me for sounding like an idiot.

But back to the baby....she is the smallest baby I have ever held, by several pounds. She was a little under 5lbs on Wednesday and I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She looked like a real life doll. I am so happy for the Happel family and can't wait to get to know sweet Charlotte. :)

2) I had a great time at book club on Monday night discussing "Strong Women, Soft Hearts". Some of those thoughts shall be written soon on another post. :)

3) Emersyn has been saying "I love you" when I leave her to go to work without me asking her to. My heart MELTS every time she says it.

4) I got a massage this morning (thank you auto insurance) and I actually woke myself up snoring, LOL!! You know a massage is good if you pass out.

5) Emersyn and I have been having dance parties to Carrie Underwood's "Undo It". We dance our heart out, clap, raise the roof, twirl, you know...all the essential cool dance moves. I love my daughter and love that she is every bit the little nut that I knew she would be.

Happy Thursday! Tomorrow it is supposed to be *gasp* sunny!! We are going to the zoo with Stella and her parents. Gotta love a BFF playdate for Emersyn. She is a lucky girl. :) I can't wait to see MY BFF in July!!!!!!!!

Thursday Five

Today these are five things that make me.....

Joyful
Giddy
Excited
Thankful

Jubuliant

I think you get the idea. :)

1) Last night I went in to check on Emersyn before I went to bed and she was just angelic looking. Seriously, I get teary eyed almost every night, gazing at my daughters innocent little face as she sleeps. She stirred a bit and sat up all bleary eyed. I told her to lay back down and go to sleep and she did......and then let out a GIANT toot. I had to run out of her room, I was laughing so hard and didn't want to wake her up. It made my night, seriously. This may make me a weirdo but I don't care. You had to be there.

2) My husband sent me an email on Monday to thank me for making some muffins on Sunday night and said I was so "domestic". I swooned a bit.

3) Emersyn went pee on the potty today!!!!!!!!! She always talks about the potty and loves to point at our toilet and say "mama potty" and then her potty and say "emmy potty". Today I had her sit on it naked while I was blow drying my hair and she peed!!! It was awesome!!! We made a huge deal out of it and she was awfully proud of herself. So cute. We are taking potty training slow and steady but she sure is showing all the signs. So fun.

4) I got to have sushi last night with my sweet friend Roxanne, which was a treat. I LOVE sushi soooo much, and by sushi I mean California Rolls, nothing crazy like raw fish. :)

5) I got a card in the mail for my anniversary (which was last Sunday) from my grandma, with an apology for the card being so late. In the card was a gift card to CHEESECAKE FACTORY!!!!! We now get a free dinner for our date night tomorrow, whoo hoo whoo hoo!!!!

Happy Thursday everyone!!
