Anyways, Elijah enjoyed seeing both sets of grandparents, I know he had a blast! He spent a weekend with my parents and I know my parents enjoyed it! It might have made them rethink having another kid, my mom wants another baby really bad. Matthew's mom always got us ice cream when we came to see her at work! She enjoyed seeing Elijah at work! He face would light up, and Elijah would grin ear to ear. Elijah enjoyed playing with his cousin who's 9 months younger than him, but they had a blast playing together! Elijah really got attached to Sarah, who is Matthews oldest sister, the mother of Caleb, Elijah's cousin, he also got attached to his aunt Leah! He liked being with his great uncle Troy, and loved being with both of his grandfathers, his pawpaw my dad and his papaw Matthew's dad. We went up to Virgina, for Matthew's nanny 75th birthday, and quickly became fond of his papa his great grandfather! I loved watching him create bonds with so many family members, but hurts me because only God knows when he will see them again! My mom is suppose to come up for the birth of baby G, but that's not guarented anymore, since Matthew and I can't keep up our end of the bargain. Makes me very sad! We aren't sure if Matthews mom and dad will come up. If they do it would be great, if they don't I won't be shocked, at least I shouldn't be.
One thing I need to stop doing is comparing his parents to mine. My parents make a lot less, and can't come up here as often as his parents possibly could, but getting time off for his parents might be harder than it is with my parents. Both parents have only made one trip up here. Like Matthew even stated his parents only came up because it was out of convenice, and my came up for a purpose, Elijah's birthday. But I have to stop thinking like this! I have to think maybe his parents can't come up here because they can't get the time off, or maybe they can't afforf it. As much as I'd love both sets to come up once a year and us go to Georgia once a year that would be great! Elijah would see his grandparents 3 times in a year. We also need to get both sets on a good skyping schedule! I think that would help too! My mom and dad skyped a lot before we came to Georgia, but since we came back my mom has gotten a job and not able to skype, but he talks to her on the phone! Elijah hasn't talked to Matthew's parents since we've been back! It does make me feel like my parents make more of an effort to be in Elijah's life, but I can't think like that, I have to think of differntly so that I don't start not liking my In-laws. I want to like them, so I have to make more of an effort. If that means calling them and checking on them, randomly sending them pictures of Elijah, mailing them 4x6 pictures, and texting them, then I need to do that! These are some of the attitude things that I need to change!
One another note... I will be entering my third trimester tomorrow! How weird is that?! I haven't gained 20 poiunds yet! So, I'm thankful for that, now tomorrow when I weigh myself, I hope I haven't gained 20 pounds! haha!I'm ready for my nesting stage to begin! I have been so tired lately, and haven't wanted to do much of anything lately! I'm hoping tomorrow I'll get some burst of energy and either clean off my dresser, and our room, or work in the office to get some thing that are in Baby G's room in the office! But I tell you, I need some energy! ideas? We only need a few more things for baby G. Things such as the bedset, the pack n play, nursing tops for me, newborn clothes, just in case, which we have that covered, just waiting on them. I think that's all we need for now! We don't have a rich or well off family that can buy those things for us, although I wish we could, and that's my goal when my kids tell me mom we need this for our kids, I want to be able to get them expensive gifts that they might not be able to afford, or that would lighten the burden on them. I still feel like I'm small for almost 28 weeks, which I'm totally ok with. When I wear certin clothes I look pregnant, when I wear other clothes, I look fat. :/ but it's ok! I know I'm pregnant, the crazy moving baby in my belly reminds me about every hour or so I'm pregnant. I will say I left my wonderful comfy pregnancy pillow in Georgia, and now when I sleep I can tell I'm pregnant! I miss it so much! My uncle said he was going to send it yesterday, Monday, and I hope he did!! I am in need of that so bad!
We have a materinty shoot set up for the end of June that we've been looking forward to for a while now! We know that it will be money well spent and it will have some of just me, some of Elijah and Me, and some of Matthew and me, and some of all of us! I can't wait! I'm hoping to go back to this lady for newborn pictures, 3 month pictures, 6 month and one year! or at least newborn, and one year! haha! Matthew's gotten super good with our camera, and I love the pictures he's taken of me so far, and can't wait to let him take more! I need to find some really pretty outdoor places for him to take pictures, because he'll be doing Elijah's 20 month pictures and so on! I can't believe in almost 4 months my baby will be 2!!!....
I think now I will post some family pictures from our trip!
I do hope everyone enjoyed my post! I enjoyed writing it, and getting some things off my chest! I feel better!
