"Clingy Mom"

As it turns out, I might be a "clingy mom". I was dropping Jael off in the church nursery yesterday and as soon as I handed her over she starts balling! Well I didn't want to leave her but the guy in the nursery says "bye mommy" and waves with this sarcastic tone like "get out of here you psycho!" So I go upstairs and find Luke and just start balling. Luke encouraged me to go get her if I was so upset but I told him I didn't want to be known as the "clingy mom". After a few minutes I sent Luke down to check on her and he came back up and said she was almost asleep. Of course I was so shaken up I kept crying. But you know, why should I feel bad about not wanting my daughter upset??? She's my daughter! Anyway, today she is getting her shots and I have been a nervous wreck all day! Luckily Luke is taking her but knowing she's going to be upset just kills me! I'm horrible! I guess it's better to be a little on the clingy side then to not care at all about her! Ugh!

We have a nose picker...

She's confused

I do believe that dressing Jael up in two different sports teams will only confuse her! CLEARLY the Steelers are the better choice. However, Luke insisted on her wearing the Vikings stuff for a picture also. If you ask me, the child should feel welcome to pick who she likes better and in the Steelers outfit she is smiling. Not so much in the Vikings! I WIN!

First Ouchy!

Well, I have given my daughter her first ouchy. I was cutting her fingernails and I got the skin. She just cried and cried. There was even blood! I was so upset. I put a little band-aid on her finger and apologized over and over. I hope she's not traumatized! I have cut her fingernails since without inflicting injury but I HATE doing it!

Going For a Walk!

We decided to take a walk on this past Friday because it was gorgeous! She loved looking around and never made a peep! Halfway through the walk I gave her to daddy to carry and she went right sleep! Apparently she was just working sooo hard!

Jael's First Easter

Easter was very nice. After church we were invited to De Ette's home (our midwife) for lunch. It was delicious! Unfortunately, Jael had a cranky Easter. Being in the nursery at church prevented her from taking a morning nap and being at De Ette's in the afternoon kept her from taking a good afternoon nap. So by 7pm she was exhausted! She managed to get down 4 ounces before passing out and then slept through the night! Poor thing!
