lovely weekend
May. 15th, 2012 07:58 amWe had a very lovely weekend.
Friday we went out to a hibachi place for Scott's 13th birthday. It was good and fun but I feel like the staff were rushing us out. Saturday, I got to sleep in as usual and then we quickly went to Mark's doctor appointment. No, I don't usually go to them but afterwards we picked up some desserts and headed over to Linda and Phil's so we could finally meet baby Gabriel.
I swear, Ziva was NEVER that small. He's up to 8lbs 7oz so I do realize that Ziva was smaller at birth and then with all the weight she lost but, seriously, I don't ever remember holding a baby that small. Somehow Mackenzie was almost half that size since she was just around 5lbs. So crazy. Seriously though, Ziva was never that small. While I'm holding Gabriel, Ziva is just sitting on Mark's lap watching everything. At one point, she crawls down, grabs onto the ottoman and cruises over to me. She did her take 1-2 steps thing because she needed to get to me. Linda was like "oh no no no don't tell me he's going to be doing that this quickly! I can't handle it, I'm a new mom!" Yup, so so quickly. I can't even wrap my head around it.
We came home, got to see Jenn for a short while because she was coming over to babysit because we were going out again. I don't know when we became such social butterflies. We went to a German restaurant with a bunch of people for a 35th birthday celebration which was also super fun and lots of laughs and quite tasty. We need to see Jenn soon because I wanted to spend more time with her but she was stuck babysitting my kid and then wanted to go to sleep since she had a long day herself.
Sunday was Mother's day. I got to sleep in again but could only sleep until like 9:30 anyway. Ziva got me a lovely card with her handprints and a beautiful necklace. Mark is getting my car detailed which I'm so excited about since I think it smells. He wants to get all the scratches and whatnot buffed out but, really, I don't look at the outside so those don't bother me. The stains on the seats and the dirty floor mats I see every day - that I want cleaned.
We went out for brunch with just Mark's mom, me, Ziva, and Mark. It was lovely. So much less stress and everything involved when Bobbe isn't around. Mark's mom even remarked at one point that she was shocked Ziva was sitting in her high chair. Nope, she loves high chairs - she doesn't like Bobbe groping at her or being in her face. After brunch we completely avoided Bobbe's Mother's Day party and instead went to Party City and started buying some things for Ziva's party.
My kid is going to be one. WTF? The invitations are currently being printed and I love them. It is costing us a ridiculous amount of money to get them printed because Mark and I designed them and I needed them printed out on stationary cardstock as a 5x7 and, of course Walmart was the cheapest but whenever we uploaded the picture it was all blurry. I'm crazy and ridiculous, but at least I know I am.
The rest of the weekend was spent lounging on the couch and then Mark went and got us ice cream sundaes to close out the day.
Just an all around really nice weekend. Next weekend, Ziva has a photo shoot/cake smash. I'm excited and nervous that she'll freak out and we won't get any good shots.
