It is nice when you have a spouse that notices all the things you do in a day. It is even nicer when that comment does not come during the middle of a scream-fest, but I'll take it either way.
Abby has been a little cranky since lunch time - I am not really sure why, but she's been in hysterics several times. I think she must be growing or something. Steve came home for lunch and was telling Abby how much he loved her right before he left. That caused big crocodile tears and 40 plus minutes of uncontrolled crying. I walked her, I rocked her, I tried a bottle, I tried a pacifier, I tried singing, I tried laying down together, and finally after swaying until my sides ached she fell asleep. I am hoping this is a one day phenomenon.
Tomorrow Abby and I are going to the park for a mothers with preschoolers group. Abby probably won't appreciate the park much, but it will be nice to meet a few mothers with young children. Hopefully the weather remains nice. So, it's back to doing "this all day" - changing diaper after diaper, washing bottles, comforting Abby when she cries, letting the dog out and in and out and in and so on, and trying to remain sane in the process. And, since they are doing road work on the main road to Steve's office, he won't be able to come home for lunch anymore this week, so I can't use that time to get a shower. But, only 3 days until we go "downstate" and I can enjoy some "me" time while Abby gets attention from her aunties and grandmas and the "greats". I can't wait :-)
And... congratulations to our friends the Zirks from Ann Arbor on their new baby, Paige. We are really excited for them and their second little girl!

You are right Steve is the model husband, and I just bet Abby noticed that right away about her Daddy. She will have a few days like that, little Gals love their Daddy's very much. They also love their Mommy's and know how much you mean to them. Can't wait to see her, she has grown so much. Love You Grandma Great
