Here's another flashback...
February 7 is the main guy in our life's big day. We love any chance to show him love, but the day started out with a different kind of showing...
Adam went into MC's room a smidge early to say good-bye before heading off to school. The next thing I know, he is in our room telling me, "Hon, it smells like throw up in her room." In response, I rush past him and am engulfed by the smell as I walk into our precious girl's nursery.
There she was, just sleeping away in peace like nothing had happened. Thoughts were rushing in my head mixed with questions like, "Why did I not hear her when she threw up? How long has she been sleeping in it?". I was just so thankful she hadn't choked in her sleep.
As I reached into her crib to peel off her clothes gently, my nerves and gag reflex were definitely tested as my hands tried to get her out of her mess as quickly as possible without startling her out of her sleep.
The next 20 minutes or so were a blur. Stripped down baby went into the warm tub, stripped bedding went into the wash, daddy called in and arranged for his absence, and mama prepped for a day of leaving for work. Needless to say, it wasn't quite the birthday greeting we were expecting- but, daddy got to spend the day with his princess, so it was definitely worth it in the end.
That weekend, after baby had recovered enough for us to celebrate, we had a blast with our college group of friends. It was a celebration of our friend Lindsey's birthday too- and we had a wonderful time! Bowling shoes, funny nicknames, and greasy pizza made for some good laughter and special memories.
Homemade and not-so-homemade desserts rounded out the evening at the Valentas home. We are so lucky to have such great friends to share our special days with each year.
Adam, Hubs, Daddy...we love you so much and look forward to all of the birthdays to come. Your rhythm keeps us going.
