Weekend Details and Thank You's
Thank you to Grandma Sherman for the beautiful silver photo frame. Its holds six photos in slightly varying sizes and has wee silver bottles and bunnies and other good baby things adorning it. Thanks to Nana for mending Mika's pink jumper and the helium balloon! Thanks to Auntie Anna and Uncle David for the books Goodnight Moon! and Nursery Rhymes. Thanks to Uncle Justin and Great-Auntie Urs for the baby book. Thanks to the Easter Bunny at Grandma's for the foot rattles and Peter Rabbit book. Thanks to Great-Auntie Laura and Uncle Brian for the HBC gift card. Thanks to the mystery person (Was that you Tami?) who had their friend Ian drop off a gift consisting of two pairs of fuzzy jammies, an awesome orange Chopstick! shirt and the most beautiful dress.
We got up early on Saturday morning and headed over to Nana's for her Easter Brunch. We were a few minutes late, as is the norm nowadays. I felt badly about it this time though as we were bringing the coffee! Terrible thing that...being late with the coffee.
The only person coming that Mika had met already was her Ur-Oma. She met her Uncles Steve, Justin, and David for the first time as well as her Aunties Anna and Darlene. Mika also met her cousins Jackson and Lucas for the first time! Though she didn't see much of Jackson as he was getting over the stomach flu and kept his distance lest he be contagious still. The brunch was wonderful...the first time that I enjoyed crepes! Usually I find them kind of yucky. Mika joined the table via Auntie Anna's lap. She was the only baby at the table! Cousin Lucas hung out on the floor in the living room while Jackson toured the house in Nana's arms.
After Nana's we headed home for a little while and then back out to the Sherman's Easter Dinner. Mom had a feast as usual, even though we were the only guests this year. I won't complain though because it was awesome! We had a great time hanging out with the family.
We discovered that Mika is most likely allergic to cigarette smoke. Grandpa and Grandma Sherman don't smoke, but the girls do. They smoked in rooms where Mika wasn't, but it still affected her. I accidentally walked in with Mika to the rooms where they were smoking a couple of times too. That night, Mika's breathing was very weezy and laboured. Scared her Daddy and I rather well. I put the warm mist humidifier in her room until it was as humid as a jungle and she sounded much better in the morning. Needless to say, we're going to make sure that Mika avoids cigarette smoke as much as possible.
Sunday we got up and dressed in our finest and went to visit G. The Easter Bunny had left some chocolate that we needed to deliver. We got out of there later than we should have. Nana was already at our place waiting when we got back shortly after three in the afternoon. The four of us (Mika, Nana, Mommy and Daddy) piled into Daddy's car and headed to Grandma and Grandpa Ted's for supper. Uncle Lucas and Auntie Jenn were there and we met cousins Alice and Jamie for the first time. Other first meetings included Auntie Diane, Auntie Annette, Auntie Angie, Great-Auntie Alice, Uncle Brian, and Uncle Jim. Oh, and Richard..a friend of Auntie Annette and Uncle Brians. We feasted well there too and Mika had fun being doted on as usual.
Mika's sleep patterns are all skooky now from the busy weekend. We're working on getting her back into a normal routine again. She's been cranky all weekend.
