This week has been a total blur! With our crazy long commutes and interrupted sleep, I just didn't get around to posting. Here I am now, though! I've been told I don't post enough pictures, so I'm going to try to add more. Although... are there ever enough pictures for grandparents?! ;)
We didn't have anything planned for last weekend, so this is pretty much all we did:
It was nice, especially since all it did was rain.
Tuesday was Cinco de Mayo, so we went to our local Mexican restaurant for cheese dip and margaritas. Yum! Kaylin slept through most of it even though the place was pretty loud. When we left, she decided she was hungry even though she had recently eaten, so I nursed her in the parking lot. When baby's hungry, baby eats!

On Thursday, I had a meltdown because I had to give Kaylin formula for the first time. She usually eats 16 oz. while at school and I've only been able to pump about 13 oz. each day. I've had milk stocked in the freezer to make up for the extra few ounces, but we ran out this week. So... on Thursday and Friday, she had breast milk mixed with formula. She was fine, but I've pumped a lot this weekend so (hopefully!) I can avoid giving her any more formula. I've upped my water intake and started taking an herb to help me produce more milk. Fingers crossed!
On Friday, Kaylin stayed home with Daddy while I went to work. Grandma and Grandpa came up for a visit, and Billy and Kaylin met them for lunch. It was her first time going out for sushi! I was bummed I couldn't join them, but was happy there was a California roll waiting for me at home. We enjoyed having them over!

On Saturday, we went down to Newnan to celebrate cousin Amber's graduation and Uncle Dick's birthday. We took over a section of La Parilla for about 3 hours, and no, I'm not exaggerating. It was so nice to see everyone. Kaylin was worn out after being passed around so much!

Kaylin's not in this picture (obviously) but it was too funny not to include. Uncle Dick & Caroline:

Today is my first Mother's Day. I woke up to two cards (one from Kaylin, one from Billy) that of course made me cry. Billy cooked grits and eggs and chocolate chip pancakes for me - yum! As I sit here typing with a sleeping baby in my lap, I am overwhelmed by how much I love this little girl and how thankful I am to be her mommy. We went through so much to accomplish our goal of starting a family and now that she's here - healthy and happy - all I can think is that she was so worth it. I love you, sweet pea.
