Mother's Day!

Yes, it as been a while since there was an update, and I will have another post soon about the time between the last post and today, but I had to write about MOTHER'S DAY. I hoped that Rob and Roselyn had something special planned because even pregnant last Mother'd Day, Rob did not think I was ready to hear the words, "Happy Mother's Day". We started early, on Saturday, and went to Gwinnett to visit the family. First, we met Rob's mom and stepdad and sister and family at the Old Spaghetti Factory. Roselyn had a great time seeing everyone and being in such a neat restaurant. She was also able to show the family that she could sit in a high chair on her own. After lunch we went to Mimi's house where Roselyn planned with toys Mimi bought especially for when Roselyn visits. She definitely was worn out by the time we arrived at Grandma and Grandpa Yates' house and slept for a while in her carseat in the dining room. When Roselyn did wake up she played with cousins Avery and Kendall Yates before we all enjoyed dinner (Roselyn had spring vegetables and grain). Shortly afterwards we could tell Roselyn was ready to go to bed so we made our way home.
On Sunday (the actually Mother's Day) Rob and I woke up to Roselyn stirring in bed. When I went into the kitchen I saw that Rob and Roselyn had gotten me a gift, a card, and a dozen pink roses. Rob went to get Roselyn so that I could feed her in bed. While we were all there I opened the gift from the two of them- a book "Are you My Mommy?" and a book on preparing baby food. Rob then took the both of us to Panera for lunch where he revealed the big Mother's Day gift- he wanted to start a tradition where we purchased a tree each year and plant it for Mother's Day. Roselyn and I decided on a peach tree and also purchased an Astor plant (that is the plant for the month of September- the month Roselyn was born). Overall, it was a wonderful day- and weekend!
