I had a great Mother's Day! I woke up to Justin bringing me cinnamon toast crunch cereal-Yum! (The real stuff too by the way-not generic brand.) Teigen, half asleep, brought in a present which was the "Rachel Ray Furi Gusto-Grip knives" that I've been wanting forever! It was so thoughtful of my boys! Then we got ready and walked to church at 8:45-the State Center is done and it takes us just over 5 minutes to walk to church. I can see the steeple from our house-makes me feel like I'm in Utah ;) It's so beautiful. At Church all the moms got long stemmed red roses. So nice.
I wanted to get away without lifting a finger on any meals but I was too anxious to use my knives that I helped with lunch and dinner. (Maybe that was Justin's secret plan) lol. It was so nice working together in the kitchen though, so that was another Mother's Day present. We made chicken wraps with lettuce, cheese and ranch in a tortilla for lunch. For dinner we grilled up some yummy steak and had potatoes and carrots with garlic, onions and herbs in a foil wrap and threw that on the grill. Delious! Teigen was so kissy and lovey all day which was perfect.
I also got one more present not planned....We went to Ashlyn's (one of the babies I watch) one year birthday party. It was so cute and girly! Something I'm not used to nor will be for a while if ever since I'm having another boy. ;) But super excited about that!
Anyway.....we were there maybe 5 minutes and Teigen was jumping on the balloons. One of the times he jumped on one, it slipped out from under him and WACK! Teigen's forehead was introduced to the 18 inch tile. It was so loud that everyone in the room stopped and looked. It seriously sounded like a wooden baseball bat being cracked in half after hitting a baseball. I thought FOR SURE he cracked his head. It grew immediately into a HUGE bump on his head. He was screaming of course and it looked awful. He's so tough though...the crying only lasted a few minutes. His head didn't even split, which Justin and I were both surprised. Of course my parents would not be, since my head is harder than a bowling ball. I have withstood many crazy blows to the head throughout my life and only have scar tissue to prove it. Justin apparently has a hard head also after talking to Mom A.
I was terrified though because it looked and sounded so bad that my immediate reaction was "should we take him in to the doctor?" Justin (and a call from Mom A. ;) ) helped me calm down and he said he'd check his eyes with a flashlight when we got home and keep an eye on him to make sure he wasn't acting different. I just hated not being able to protect him from getting hurt. It breaks my heart to see him in pain. So......he ended up being fine and today he's totally normal like nothing happened yesterday.
Thank you Teigen for reminding me how emotionally attached I am to you on Mother's Day. I know I can't protect you all the time but when I see your pain I can't help but hurt for you! I love you Teigen-boy and am so excited to raise another boy.
The sad boy 10 minutes after...
