My sick birthday boy
Yesterday was Adriel's birthday. I cant believe that its been a year already. A year ago, I was a brand new mom with a tiny little baby. Its amazing- 
when he was born I thought I couldnt love him any more and it has just kept growing and growing. I feel so lucky that I get to be his mommy. He's just sooo adorable and cute!!! Weirdly, Im starting to forget what it was l
ike to be pregnant- like it was a dream that's slipping away. I've tried to not let myself forget it though, that and the pain of labour. I still remember that it hurt a LOT, but I dont quite remember it exactly. The last few hours of my labour, I was so exhausted from being awake for so long and from being in so much pain, that its a blur. And the time after he was born was so special, I wish I could have frozen it, to experience over and over. That's lif
e though. Anyway I thought I'd post some photos to reminisce (sp?) the whole experience.
Adriel was sick for his birthday. And I mean SICK. He threw up sunday night, and yesterday (his birthday) and today he's been so lethargic, with a fever and diarrhea. He just wimpers and wants to cuddle. I feel so sad that he's suffering, but I do love the cuddling. He's usually too busy to cuddle with me. Its been hard to get anything done, and im trying to take care of myself so I dont get it from him. He wasnt interested in his cake, or his presents. He just wanted to cuddle. I was a little worried for a while because his fever wasnt really going down much and Im not sure how long that should go on for. He's never been so sick before. Poor guy. On his birthday too. Well at least he didnt know it was his birthday. And the party's on Saturday, so he has some time recoup. I made dinner and Ann and Barb came. It was nice. Barb brought a winnie the pooh ice cream cake from dairy queen. 
Anyway, now he's in bed and hopefully he'll stay down. His fever was gone when I put him down but he was still quite clingy. Im tired.
I survived my first year of motherhood. I deserve a pat on the back dont I?

I just mopped. Adriel is watching a baby einstein. I have a few minutes. Things have been busy. I dont know how I manage but everyday seems to fill up with something. I feel out of touch in the blog world. I havent had the time to catch up on all of them. But I dont want to be out of touch! So this is me making another attempt to not be too busy.
Kyle and I both went to sign language class last night. I was a bit wary of bringing Adriel but he was really good. He just played contentedly on the ground for most of it, and it was fun to do it with Kyle. We played the animal game at the end. I was a frog, and Kyle was a dolphin. Then I had to go to Save On and get some diapers. I usually try and get them from walmart because they're cheaper, but lately I've been bad and left it to the last minute, and then I prefer to not drive all the way to walmart. How do people stay on top of things? I always feel like I never quite have it all together. Something's always lagging.
Rachel Kingsley and I went for a walk yesterday. It was nice getting to know her better. I feel so young and immature compared to her. I feel that way compared to a lot of people actually. I know its my own insecurities and things though. Besides, what's wrong with being young?
I love Wednesdays because I get to play soccer. And because when we get home there's a fresh episode of So You think you can Dance waiting for us. I wish I could play soccer all the time and all year round. I wish I could join a team that just played for fun and not on Sundays. I wish.
Yesterday I was talking to bethany on the phone and then it just cut off and she never called me back. Rude girl.
It's sunny today and that makes me happy. Summer's the best. The longest day of the year is tomorrow. I always feel kinda sad when thats over and the days start getting shorter again. Its like winter's already on its way.
