My First Mother's Day

What a great weekend! It started on Friday when I met Mom and Jenna in Atlanta for a quick girls get together. We shopped on Friday, spent the night, and went to the Princess Diana exhibit (at the Civic Center) on Saturday. It was a very quick trip, but it was wonderful getting to spend some alone time with my mom and sister!

When I got home on Saturday, I could immediately tell that Henderson wasn't feeling well. I wont get into all the details but he was running a fever, super clingy, and all he wanted was for me to rock him. On Sunday, I sent Stephen on to church (the early service) and I planned on meeting him for Sunday school and let Honey take Henderson to her house for his nap. I couldn't even get dressed because all Henderson would do was cry when I put him down. It was pitiful. So I spent my Mother's Day, well, being a mommy. I rocked and rocked and sang and hugged. It was wonderful (despite the fact that my sweet boy was sick)! We did make it over to Honey's house for lunch and got to visit with Aunt Carol and Grandmother. I took Henderson to the doctor on Monday since he still had a fever, but it wasn't anything treatable (some sort of viral thing). I am happy to report that he is MUCH better now and back to his old self!

Grandmother has lots of experience with sick babies!
Honey helping Henderson get comfortable. Poor Baby!

On Monday, he was trying to perk up!

Oooh, but then how quickly he gets upset again.

Even Hendrix felt sorry for Henderson. He jumped in to try and help him feel better.

(Wouldn't you know, I didn't get a single picture with my child on my first Mother's Day!)
