It seems surreal that 12 weeks have already passed. It's funny, you spend 9 months wondering what your life will be like once your baby is here, then the rest of your life trying to imagine how you fully lived before them.
This past weekend is further proof that I have the best baby in the world!! We got a cabin in the Smokies, near Douglas Lake, and she adapted wonderfully!! Our original plan was to go straight to Splash Country on friday, to get there at 3:05 because after 3pm, the next day is free. Unfortunately, the weather was the yuckiest it's been in weeks so we went straight to the cabin and watched it rain. We did run back out for groceries, but other than that, the weekend was for relaxing and Splash Country. The girls headed straight for the hot tub and boiled themselves! Needless to say, since it was so hot they opted to try agian in a bit. They then headed upstairs to shoot some pool, and mom got to hit the tub for a bit!! I got a good 10 minutes in before Aubree decided it was her dinner time, can't say I relaxed to much though, as Bailey and Britton decided they wanted back in since it had cooled off some. So after we all had dinner, I decided to lay her down for abit to see if I could get her to sleep, it was around 9pm. At this time, Dad had decided he needed some relaxing time, and headed to the hot tub to listen to his ipod and enjoy a beer. She went right out, and the coolest thing, was the hot tub was on the deck right outside her window, so we opened the blinds and window, and viola! we could watch her snooze. And snooze she did, right up until her first hunger spell around 3am, then slept til 830am. We then spent the entire next day, 11am-530pm. at Splash Country where once again she was an absolute doll. We took her big jeep stroller that lays down for her to nap in. she went to sleep for her first nap about 15 miutes after we got there, I got her out and fed her and put her back in and walked her around for a bit. With all the noise, she was out in minutes. She slept for about 2 hours. Scott, Bailey and Britton in the mean time, got to enjoy all the waterslides. The park was pretty empty so it was nice. After sliding for a bit they came back and we did lunch, and so did Miss Aubree. We got her out and laid her on her blanket for abit and she loved it. Dad took his resting turn then and me, Bailey and Britton went to sliding. I can't say how much fun it was!! I love waterslides!!! So she ended up sleeping again for a couple of hours and we really got to enjoy our time there. No crowds, not to hot, and a good baby made for a great day! They have nursing rooms there too which are really nice. They are climate controlled, and a decent size. They have a rocking chair, changing table, and sink and you can lock the door. Aubree and I spent some time in there and I'll have to say it was really nice having that option. There were also several covered areas to lay and put your blanket to stay out of the sun.
So, what a great weekend, what a great life!!!! I've never felt luckier in my life and I absolutely love the feeling every morning when I wake up!! It's a GREAT life!
