Going to see H's grandma for the first time since Jude was born. H was just feeding him and telling him about meeting his great grandma, and then started talking about how his grandpa didn't get to meet him (he died just after we announced the pregnancy). It was so sad and sweet.
On a happier note, no matter what else happens this weekend, I'm getting a pedicure. I haven't had one since i was 39 weeks, and I used to go weekly, so it's been torture.
I'm so sorry. My grandpa passed away in January and his funeral landed on the day I had my 20 week scan. In my head I pretended that was their way of connecting with each other. I was doing well with it after she was born, and one day I got a congratulations card from his sister/my great aunt in the mail and it really hit me then that I didn't get to call him to tell him about her.
I can also end on a happier note! I live in a rural area so we make maybe monthly trips to the city to do a big grocery shopping trip. It's about an hour each way once you count getting to the store and parking. Between the drive, the approximate hour grocery shopping, picking up lunch, and coming back home it was a tear free trip for both kids! (With the exception of a minor meltdown in the Tim Hortons parking lot by DD since the van wasn't moving lol). This was a HUGE step for my DD who has hated and screamed during entire car rides since she was born! She was even awake most of the way home just grabbing at her toys and stuff. I am so relieved things are hopefully starting to turn for the better there, because being out in the country we end up having to drive quite frequently! DS never really hated his car seat so it was a rough change on us.
