Well, I woke up on Mother’s Day morning at about 6:30am, not to a crying baby, but to intense low back pain. I rolled around in bed for about an hour trying to get comfortable, which turned out to be impossible. My husband slept nice and soundly. Elijah was still not awake, so I thought maybe a nice hot shower would help my back. Well, 15 minutes later, still not feeling better. It was about 8:10 I woke Elijah up. I fed him, and got him in his mother’s day outfit. We soon left for church where I put Elijah in the nursery for the second time. This time I did not cry. I fidgeted through out the service because I had so much pain in my back. After the service I walked around proudly with my son, but had to hand him over to Kyle because of my back.
We got home and Kyle gave me a card and some chocolate for mother’s day. After snacking on a few pieces I went upstairs and laid in bed praying for my pain to go away. We then went down to my parents house in preparation of the mother’s day dinner with my mom. My mom had told me she did not get me a card for mother’s day and I was kind of disappointed since it was my first one. To my surprise she had a whole pot full of flowers for my deck, and a huge Carvel ice cream cake! Dinner with my family was pretty hilarious from yelling across the table to Elijah pooping while my sister’s boyfriend Eric was holding him. We had our ceremonious dry ball battle as well as a new “moist” ball battle, haha.
Back at my parents we had our second round of ice cream cake, and Kyle and my youngest sister played Dr. Mario for hours, haha. I painfully laid on the floor trying to make my back pain go away. While laying on the floor my sister’s dog came to sit next to me. I was thinking Nani was going to just want to get pet, but, she threw up on me. I cried. For the first 20 minutes driving home, I cried. So over all, Mother’s Day was great, but my back killed me, I could barely hold my son, and I did not get my “Mom” mug. I’ll bet they are like 50% off now though. Three cheers for ice cream cake!
