Today was a good day. Not one of those days where you sit around the house, and say it was good just because nothing bad happened, but a really good day. You know, the type where memories are made. Chris had to work, but Lexsey and I were going to take advantage of the sunshine. A temperature of 104 in the afternoon forcasted, but there is lots you can do before it gets hot!
So...we went to the park. What I had forgotten was that I had left my stroller at my parents house, and when we had talked about going for a walk with the stroller, Lexsey took me seriously. So, since we didn't have my stroller to take her for a walk in, she decided that she would just take her baby and take HER for a walk to the park and go swimming.
About 1/2 mile into the walk pushing her little baby stroller, she stopped to feed her baby and asked for a drink. She ate a ton of pudding on our little snack, and then we hit up the creek for some good fun.
What a difference a year makes in her creek experience! She was running and jumping in the water, throwing rocks, pulling me in with her. We left drenched, but totally happy. She didn't want to leave the water though, and threw herself in the dirt. I carried a muddy baby and stroller/baby doll home. Such is life for a mom.
We decided after our creek time that we should take advantage of the heat and go swimming for the first time of the year. We hit up Grandma and Grandpas house, and she had a blast. She was yelling "Look at me!!!!!!!!!!!"
So it was a good day. I hardly thought about the baby that we lost. Then I did, and that sucked. It always sucks. Like someone socked you in the gut. The random thought that brought that up? My stomach should be bouncing and full of fluid. I hated how that felt when I was pregnant with Lexsey in the summer, but now I would give anything to feel that this summer.
But like I said, it was a GOOD day. And I need to count my blessings where I can these days. And Lexsey is definitely a HUGE blessing.
