Back to life, back to reality
By Moriah on April 27th, 2010
I took my mom to the airport today (snuffle). I didn’t mention, however, that she got a $300 voucher for giving up her seat on the way here. (More trips to come!)
Last night I went out with a few friends for my birthday. Nothing like stretching a birthday out for a week! I had a great time and I hope they all did, too. Forgot to take photos though, unfortunately.
The house we stayed in at the beach had three bedrooms, and my middle girls slept in the one with the double bed. My end goal has always been to get them to sleep in the big bed here together so that I could move the baby into Adelaide’s crib. Since M and A were now used to sleeping together from our week at the beach, I decided there was no better time to just do the transition immediately when we got back.
Adelaide tends to sleep sideways. But overall, it’s going fine. Most importantly, the baby has done FABULOUSLY. Slept both nights, ALL NIGHT, which is a first for her, with no crying (thank you, paci). I was pretty sure she’d sleep all night if I moved her out of my room (all my other babies did that), but I was nervous about doing that transition while also transitioning the other girls. I was nervous they’d wake each other up and then wake the baby up. (Also, our sound machines are coming in REALLY handy right about now.)
This morning I heard Arianna crying around 6 and I ran in and popped the paci back in, just to see what happened. She immediately fell back asleep and slept till like 9. You have NO IDEA how thrilling this is. :) (Well, maybe you do.)
Also while we were gone, I got my consignment sale check in the mail. In case you were wondering if all my sweat, blood, and tears hard work had been worth it, the check was for $287. So yeah, WORTH IT.
And, just for kicks:
(Trying out my new lens. Unfortunately the flash fired before I caught it and she moved a little out of focus. But her expression just makes me smile.)
Don’t you wonder what they’re thinking sometimes?

Aw sad to say goodbye, but SO glad she was able to go with you! That’s so great about the girls sleeping together! I’m dreading moving Olivia into the bunk bed. We’ve still got some time, but its looming on my horizon.
Congrats on the cash, and the sleeping/transitioning children! Both would make me smile!
Had fun last night, great pic of Adelaide!
I can’t believe you have 3 girls sleeping in the same room. Much less 2 in the same bed. Sad to see your mom go again, (I feel like I just wrote that to you?). By the way, my parents got a flight out last Friday. Just in case your mom wants to know. =) (kidding). AND I got the Mero. (I keep wanting to call it Nemo). Wow.
Thoughts: 1) New lens! 2) Gorgeous mom! 3) I want to make this phrase part of my life now, too. “You have cakes and now you’re firty?” Sheer awesomeness!
That’s a great picture! Thanks for making me laugh! (Oh, and I’m sorry you’re mom left; I know how that feels!)
Now I’m back to reading your blog and wishing I could love on my precious grandkids and sip tea with my precious daughter. Thanks for great memories. Love you so, Mom
