May Day

So, today was the day that my mom had been predicting that Miss Maggie Mae would arrive and since it was my mom making that prediction, I secretly felt like she knew something I didn’t. Thankfully, moms can be wrong and Maggie is here and I’m not welcoming a May Day baby.

So much is happening this month: I’ll celebrate my first Mother’s Day as a mom, two of my best friends (Erin & Lara) are having babies, and we’ll do our first trip up to Camp Janet, etc.

I’m happy to welcome this month with all the newness that Maggie brings, never again will May be the same now that Maggie Mae is here!

Top Dog

For the most part Sydney seems to be welcoming towards Maggie. When Maggie cries or needs her diaper changed, Syd is the first to tilt her head in concern.

The other night we were ready to go to bed and noticed that Sydney had posted up in the middle of Maggie’s Boppy as if to send the message to us that  she was still the Top Dog around here.

Syd’s tough like that – you know, wanting to let Maggie know that she was here first. As long as Maggie doesn’t show up in Sydney’s dog bed, I think we’ll be fine.

Staring Contest

We have a new hobby here at HBHQ and it involves staring at Maggie. Never, ever did I think that I could spend my entire day staring at someone, but hardly a minute goes by that one of us isn’t staring at this sweet child. Even when she is sleeping we stare at her.

Not only do we stare at her, but we talk at length about All Things Maggie, which right now involves sleep, poop and when the last time she ate was. We’ve found ourselves laughing hysterically at things that only first time parents laugh at – is a blow-out at 2 a.m. really that funny with your third child? I doubt it.

We’re loving our new hobby. Even Sydney partakes in the staring, but she wasn’t around at 2 a.m. to laugh at the poo splattered changing station. Nope, Sydney was the only one in our house getting a good night’s rest.
