Charlie woke me up on Mother’s day with a card and gift. The card was really hilarious - if I can post a pic of it later I will. He gave me a special journal to write in that we’ll give to Elliot one day. It’s all about us & family & it has places to record things that happen in Elliot’s life. I had so much fun starting to fill it out!

In the morning Charlie’s family picked me up & we went to his brothers house for lunch. We got to see our nefew myles who just gets more adorable all the time. I  had a great time visiting w/ my sister-in-law too. Charlie had to work & wasn’t able to come.

In the evening Charlie came home & we went to my moms house where my family gathered for pizza dinner. There we got to see my little niece who is also just too cute! It makes me so excited to be holding my own little one soon.

We made our mother’s picture frames  that say Grandma and Elliot so that they can put a picture of them w/ him in it once he arrives. I think they both liked them a lot.

There was a little sadness to this day, remembering that I was also pregnant last mother’s day - so I mourned my 2 lost children today also.

I went to a Women’s Tea at church with my  mom and mother-in-law on Saturday. It was nice to be with them both right before mother’s day. It was also fun to have another tea party & the speakers were good. Charlie worked all day & we just relaxed around the house all evening.

but it’s not Elliot! My friend Breanne had her baby on Friday. She wasn’t due until the 24th this month, but baby’s heart had a rapid decel at her NST & so they decided to induce. Everything went really well and it’s a great story about how hard the doctors worked to keep her from a C-section, but were still ready to do it if needed. I got to go and see him on Friday & the whole family is doing great. It was a big dose or reality for me - I’m really going to get a baby out of all this! It definetly made me more excited for Elliot to arrive. She was the one I was going to go to Disneyland with - so it looks like I won’t be doing that unless I can find someone else to go…
