It's Friday and Lila's been gone since last Saturday when she and Grammy took off on a jet plane to Florida. Lila barfed on herself 10 minutes into the flight. So thankful mom was with her and not me. I think I would have just hauled us on the next plane back to Raleigh instead of getting on the connecting flight in Orlando. But mom let Lila run around in a diaper and a sweater in the airport waiting for their next flight, mom not one bit mortified as I would have been.
And after a week of sleeping late, taking naps, eating dinner out, getting some shopping done and spending quiet time with D, I'm so ready for tomorrow morning when she and mom arrive home! And I seriously have NO idea what we did with all our time before having a child.
I know Lila's having a blast with her grandparents, what with daily swims in the pool and continued instruction from mom after our week of swim lessons last week, shopping, playing with her "Florida" toys and maybe even catching some cartoons on cable.
She's gone to Florida without us before, but never for such a long time and I cried like a baby on Sunday and tried to convince David that spending $400 on a plane ticket might make more sense than me staying here, tempted to shop for baby boy stuff all week. Clearly, hormones were a raging, as that hysteria hasn't set back in since.
I pressed on what with my list of all that I was going to get done this week. Ha. Week is over and that list has few checks by it. But I'm okay with that. I'm rested (sort of, and despite 24 hours of Braxton Hicks yesterday and a trip to the doc to confirm I was NOT in labor), my nails have been professionally painted, I've had lunch with good friends every day, the house isn't any more clean than it was when they left and there's a pile of new baby boy clothes still to wash.
Mom was so nice to send daily pictures and videos. Here's Lila one day in the pool - looking all grown up! 19 more hours until she's home!
