I feel bad. I get myself so worked up for my mom to come. Things went very well, for a visit with my mother. My husband stayed outside or gone most of the time she was here and she had to make a comment about that. There was a lot of shopping, on her part not mine, and she can't afford to do that. She gets extremely mad when you bring up the shopping and I didn't want to deal with that so I just let it go. I only went to a furniture store with her where she picked out a $2000 chair and a leather couch that was more than that. She didn't buy anything and the salesperson seems to think she will be placing an order very soon. I sure hope not because she doesn't have that money!
Anyway, things went well. She got to hold her grandson a lot. She got up while I was sitting in the chair at 6 this morning trying to sleep and she jumped at the opportunity to take my place and send me off to bed. I let her. I knew it would make her whole week. There were two things that did irritate me though. She didn't leave until eight thirty tonight and she has a drive about two hours. The other thing was that she decided she needed to dye her hair at my house and not only did she stink the place up, she got dye on the wall above the sink. Several spots and it doesn't come off. I guess I still have the paint!
Enough bitching. I should be glad I have a mother, right? She did try to help me some while she was here and she told me that I am a good mother. She did take a bunch of my Or.eos with her though and they are my addiction. I don't share them well. I guess I will have to get used to that.
So things have been going pretty well here actually. Jake seems to be getting bigger and bigger everyday. Yesterday morning I was holding him and he giggled several times. He smiles but not often enough for our liking and he hasn't giggled again. It was sweet though. He is sleeping pretty well too. He is sleeping for one stretch of at least four hours and it has even been up to six. I am now wondering if I have typed this before??? I don't know but I am so grateful! I feel a lot better since I have been getting a bit more sleep. Speaking of which, I need to get all my things taken care of and get my butt to bed if I want a long stretch tonight because Jake went to bed early tonight!

Glad your visit with your mom wasn't as bad as you thought it might be. Moms can be hard to deal with...why is that I wonder? I have a fear that if my baby is a girl that I will repeat the actions of my mom and she will feel the same way i feel about my mom, which isn't so great. OR I will go completely the other way and she will hate me for that too. Maybe I will have a son and he can have issues with is dad! :)
I'm still waiting to hear giggles...as much as their little smiles melt my heart, I can only imagine how wonderful that sound must be!
I am glad things went well with your mom; as difficult as things can be sometime, it is so nice to have grandparents around. I have the same thoughts as Stephanie though, especially since I've got two daughters to worry about!!!
