This Moms Journal: Motherhood Monday

It's time for another phone clearing of all Mommy and Me pictures. I just la-la-la-love my girlies!!! We have such a fun time together, and they are such a blessing to my life. I still have to pinch myself at times to make sure that this is truly our life. This week, no pinching was necessary though- on Monday, Maggie woke up from her nap in a pool of vomit and she soaked her jammies in poop. I know, lovely, right?! It was okay though. Jammies off and straight to the shower we went. She hated the shower so once I got her all rinsed off, we settled into a nice relaxing bath. When we were done in there, Will had walked through the door (welcome home, honey... HELP!!!!) I passed her off to him so he could get a fresh diaper and jammies on her and I set out to clean up the mess. Go Team Laing!!!

Me and my sickie

Once Maggie was feeling better and we had just started to recover from that, Emily got ill. In the middle of the night. In my bed, which I didn't even know she had climbed in. All over me. ALL. over me! But Daddy to the rescue yet again. He was a very brave first responder- just needed s good jump start. lol! Into the shower and then the bath... then back to bed. Then got to follow her around all day with a barf bucket, changed lots of dirty diapers and snuggled lots and lots. There is no greater honor than being able to be here to help the girls through these times. Sickness is no fun, but I'll take the common flu or cold any day when I know that there is WAYYYY worse out there. I am happy to report that both girls are back to normal and so far Will and I seem to have dodged it. Here's to hoping that is the case...
