No Bacon for You!

So...

I try my very best every day to be a good mother.

No.

I try my best to be a great mother,

but that doesn't always work out.

Some days I win.

Such as the Ernie and Dip birthday party day 

that my daughter is still talking about.

And...

Some days I lose.

Such as yesterday when I was practically kneeling on my screaming daughter 

while trying to do her hair!

And then there are the cheat days!

Those are the days that I only win by default.

Such as 4am this morning when Piper woke up fretting about

the big bad wolf eating little pigs.

I told her that he didn't eat the little pigs 

because her Poppy Lynch built them a nice brick house

and the wolf couldn't blow it down.

(Poppy Lynch was a mason all his life, so it was a fairly credible statement!)

She then wanted to know what he ate if he didn't eat the little pigs.

Without even thinking about it,

I told her that he went home and ate BACON and eggs. 

Eeek!

Yep!

I only won on this day by the default

that Piper doesn't know where bacon comes from!!!!!

It will get easier once there are two kids for me to reassure.

Right?!?!?

xo

Piper's baby brother/sister is really growing!
We'll be 35 weeks tomorrow
and just 3 days away from when I had Miss P!!!

When I ask Piper if she'd like to squish the baby,
she is always happy to oblige!

Piper showing off her baby belly as well!
I think she is fully convinced that there is one in her belly too!!

Oh yes, as I mentioned earlier, I was awake with Piper at 4am this morning. I was actually up with her from 2am-5am, as she's getting a cold and wouldn't settle down. As we were cuddling in her rocking chair, Piper was squirming and climbing on me and digging her little elbows into my belly. Not the most comfortable thing in the world, but she wasn't well, so we managed. I do, however, think that the baby was getting annoyed with her!!! Baby started REALLY acting up and pushing back and this was the very first time that Piper actually felt the Littlest Lynch moving around (it was hard not to)!! Piper sat up on my lap and looked at me in amazement saying "baby?"!! I then pressed her little hand into my belly where I was getting beaten up from the inside out and she was just overjoyed!! It was so fun to watch!! That's when baby got the hiccups.  I let Piper feel each little jolt and explained what was happening. It wasn't long before little Miss P came down with her own case of the hiccups and was excitedly hiccuping along with her baby. No one wants to be awake at 4am, but if you are, this is the best way to spend it!!!!!!
