First mother's day

Well, my first Mother's Day was really great. I told Joe that the only thing that I wanted was to sleep in, and have him get up with Zoey and then bring me breakfast in bed (I requested Tim Hortons :). I was doubtful if it would really happen though since he is not a morning person, so for him to get up at 6:00 am after working a 6-day week would be quite the accomplishment. But, it all worked out. :) Things didn't go too smoothly at first - I had to wake him up since I heard Zoey first on the monitor, then when he tried to give her a bottle, she was refusing to take it and getting all upset. Just very recently, Zoey has started to have a little bit of separation anxiety and doesn't want anyone except for me when she first wakes up, or when she is getting overtired. So, she was starting to get really upset and Joe said she was turning her head and looking all over for me, so he wanted to bring her into the bedroom just so that she could see me and know I was there. So, I just ended up nursing her rather than having her take the bottle. It was just easier. But, then Joe took her and gave her breakfast and entertained her for the next few hours so that I could go back to sleep. I stayed in bed until about 9:30 and it was heaven! I probably haven't slept in like that since before she was born, so it was great! And by the time I was up, it was just about time for Zoey to go down for her morning nap, so I nursed her, red her story, and laid her down and then went back to bed to eat my Tim Horton's and laze around and watch TV. It was a very relaxing, laid back morning and exactly what I wanted! Later in the day Joe's mom came to see us, and then after that I went with my mom to visit my Grandma. Overall, it was a very wonderful, relaxing mother's day!
