Current mood: creative
Ever since my surgery I have been dying to hold my baby in my arms again. Since I am still so very soar and tender I still can't lift her. However, I am getting better and better. Though I still can't pick her up and carry her I did manage to get her to sit on my lap for awhile and I got to cuddle her like I used to be able to do. It was such a special treat for me and I loved it!!!! I miss holding my little one... its been 2 weeks since I have been able too and its been pure torture!!!! I can't wait to get better.
There is a tradition in our house, up until we got married, Adrian and I used to each make a clay pumpkin. It was lots of fun for us, plus the pumpkins became special Halloween decorations. Well once we got married we stopped doing it, mainly because so much was going on that Oct. with the wedding, honeymoon and becoming pregnant I forgot! So the next year we decided to modify the tradtion alittle. Now Mia gets her very own clay pumpkin. Just her! Until she can make them on her own I make them for her. Last year I made one with a binky in its mouth to represent Mia (she loved binkys at the time) and this year I made another. It has a cute pink bow in her hair, since I always have bows in Mia's hair. I thought it came out really well except that after baking the clay to harden it, it cracked down the center! I was so upset by this but at least you can't tell from far away. Mia also put her own final touches on it, just like last years pumpkin, she put her thumb print on the back to help contribute... so cute!
Overall the pumpkin came out great and I am glad to carry on the family tradition, I just can't wait until she can finally make it herself! How cute that will be!!!!
