Birthdays and stuff.

I haven't blogged in a while, so I just wanted to write a quick update. 

Ingrid is one! Her birthday was way fun, even though I totally failed at the "perfect party" thing. My sister, Melinda, told me I'll learn what things I can do the day before and what I can leave until that day. Hopefully.

The theme was "You are my sunshine," so naturally, everything was yellow (except for the rainbow fruit kabobs). 
 

 

I think my favorite thing was the sign I made and the cake/cupcakes 

 

Ingrid was getting sleepy during the party, seeing as her bed time was about 7:30-8 then and she didn't take a good nap. But she LOVED her cake. She started out eating it so proper, then she just held onto it with one hand to make sure she could eat it. She's so silly. 

She's just so cute. 

I've been going to school this semester, and I totally took too many credit hours. It has been super stressful, but we'll figure it out. 

Anyway, there's a short update of what we've been up to. 

Oh so nervous.

In the last few days, it's really hit me that I'll have another baby to take care of in about a month. And people, I am getting nervous!! After looking at pictures of Ingrid when she was first born, I realized that I forgot how little she was! I'm nervous that it won't all come back to me, and I'll be super awkward and un-mommy like. 

But then again, I remember when I had Ingrid, it just made sense. I knew how to hold her, (for the most part) how to feed her, how to change her diaper, how to clean out her nose. It just kind of came to me. I'm not saying I was amazing at first (cause I'm obviously amazing now), but I didn't feel awkward with my new little bubbycakes. She knew me, I knew her, and we figured it out. Well, I figured it out. She wasn't much help. 

These are the things I tell myself when I look at my pregnancy apps, do my kick counts, and see her little bum poke out just left of my belly button (her favorite spot). Even though I have two babies now, not just one. Even though I'm stressed to the max always as of late. Even though I'm super nervous, I feel like things will be fine and we'll just figure it out.... Well, I'll figure it out. They won't be much help.
