Sweet Dreams
I think Tucker has finally come around to forgiving me for having the baby. The past few days he has been wanting to lay on my lap at all times when she is sleeping... so I guess he is happier now. Bree's mouth exploded everywhere today. She eats every thing outside and then it comes up. She got it all over the couch and my bathroom. I was in a lovely mood when that happened, really I was.
Emy and I seem to be bonding more so I guess she might like me after all. She likes it when I sing to her even though I can't carry a tune to save my life. I have forgotten all the kids songs so I end up singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" over and over again. I keep telling her I will learn some more soon. A lot of kids songs are scary though... In Rock abye baby the baby falls to the ground... My mother used to sing a song about an old man dying and his clock. Sweet Dreams little one, don't have any nightmares about falling or dying!
When you have a baby you start thinking about your own childhood. I had a pretty sweet childhood so I have a lot to live up for Emily. We went on a family trip to Georgia just about every year growing and now I get to take my little one in August. Of course she will be too young to remember it or for me to show her things from when I was little. One day I want to take her horseback riding when she is old enough. I used to love that. I used to love going to Georgia with the fam. Living 2 days in a car on the way there and back. We had tons of junk food, fast food, and got to jump on the bed in the motel. We had a tradition of always stopping at the truck stop for an early morning breakfast on the way. It had a gift shop we always checked out too before we left. One year a trucker bought me breakfast and I sat with him, I thought it was the coolest thing! I can still picture that restaurant in my head to this day! When we actually got to Georgia I had a blast. I always got free candy, soda, and Stewart Burgers whenever I wanted from my Grandfather. My grandmother made awesome cakes she made us, gave us horseback riding lessons, and the best home cooked food in the world. When I was pregnant I took a class that said we needed to have a "safe place" in our heads to go for the pain in labor. I new it was going to be in my grandmother's home... I could smell the early morning dew in the early morning air, hear the bug zapper, the sounds of trucks,my grandfather drinking his morning cup of coffee before going to the store (making his sound effects), my grandmother in the kitchen wrestling with breakfast.... (grits, cheese toast, thick bacon, and figs)... I hope I can give Emily some place like that. Memories she treasures.
The little turkey just woke up. She has gotten in the habit of wanting a couple more ounces before she goes off to sleep again. So she ate 4 ounces an hour ago and 2 just now. Piggy!
Time for mommy to go nighty night too. Sweet Dreams and no nightmares, Ya hear? :)
