Last year Mother's Day was May 9th and it was the day that after 35 days in the NICU, we finally got to bring Mallory home from the hospital!
Here's a few pictures from that day a year ago!
Crazy to see her that small! She's just so big, alert, into everything and smart as a whip!
I was hoping that this past Monday would be our last PT session, but no, it's going to get drug out to at least one more session in 2 weeks. Arg.
We had a good weekend overall I did the Derby Trot 5K Friday night at 11pm! I'm not sure when I have been up that late lately! It's been a while but it was a lot of fun. I ran with Mary Ruth and they gave us glow bracelets to help make us more visible. We started out in front of the Mall and did an out and back. The weather was good, about 54 degrees, no rain or wind, really a lot of fun. Got home about 1 am!
Saturday I was just lazy for quite a while and then we went out for Panera Lunch, part of Mother's Day since Ben claims to not like it and then grocery shopping and TJ Maxx and the new Coconut Mocha Frappachino's at Starbux.....OMG,.....awesome!!
Saturday night we went down to Shady Cliff at Lake Malone and met Mom, Dad, Memaw, Susan, Nick, Aunt Sharon and Mike for Mother's Day dinner.....catfish, yummy!
Sunday, my request were fairly simple. Get Mallory up so I can sleep in somewhat, bring me coffee and breakfast in bed, let me go run, and cook me dinner. Oh yeah, and you MUST get me a card......from you and Mallory : )
All that came to fruition, so overall it was a good day, other than the clean out the closet/laundry part, but other than that, I enjoyed it.
We also officially joined the church here in Owensboro on Sunday.
So, good Mother's Day!
I somehow failed to take a picture of me and Mallory together on Mother's Day, but I got this cute one of her in the laundry basket on Sunday!
And, here's a few others from the last week:
In case you forgot, I'm doing a mini sprint triathlon on Sunday in Nashville. Another preemie mom convinced me to do it with her. Us preemie mom's give each other a lot of peer pressure, lol!
I'm looking forward to it. I was a little freaked out about the swimming piece since I haven't swam an actual lap in eons, but now that I've been in the pool a few times, I'm good with that, now actually riding my bike is freaking me out....Ben said it's not acting right.....gear issues, I'll try it out tomorrow and see what's happening. My Mother's Day/Birthday present may be a new bike!
So, I went to the Y tonight to do a run through of my tri, I guess to make sure I can do it, lol! So I ran 2 miles, stationary biked 8 miles and swam 250 yards. Felt pretty good afterwards, so now I'm more excited for Sunday! Wish me luck!
In my "old photo" tradition......since it's Stefanie's birthday, I dug this photo of us at our High School Graduation!! You, John, Me and Kasey. That will take you back, lol!!
