Glorious Day!
OK, it was a really good day, but perhaps not 'glorious'. Unfortunately, I cannot think of any other song title with the word 'day' in it that would work either. Bastille Day, Eric's Had a Bad Day, Every Single Day, One Day In Your Life, Day Tripper, Living For Today, In Between Days, etc. etc. Open to any suggestions. Er..anyway...
Mika's baby shower at Daddy's work was overwhelmingly fantastic. We thought it was just going to be a bunch of the ladies gathering in one of the board rooms to pass Mika around for an hour..a coffee and cake type of thing. This was a full-on shower! The fine folks at AADAC are far too kind and generous to Mika. We had an awesome potluck spread for lunch. One of those you-name-it-it's-there kind of spreads. Mika tried the tiniest drop of hummus. A treat from Daddy. Her face was priceless! She looked like a caricature of herself, eyes squinted, mouth puckered, nose and forehead scrunched and head twisted. I wish I had the camera on at the time. She reacted to all of the people as one would expect someone Mika's age to react: some she loved, some she freaked out on instantly, some she was indifferent to. The best was when Daddy's boss walked in and said hi to her. She instantly puked. He won her over later by letting her play with his blackberry. Daddy stood and opened a tableload of Mika treats. I felt all awkward because pretty much everyone there gave her a gift when she was born. I didn't really know what to say...so I nestled myself amongst the people at the table and let Daddy do all the work. :)
He hauled home a huge computer box full of stuff tonight and has more to bring home tomorrow. It's craziness I tell you. Like a shock and awe attack of baby gifts. Mika has many new clothes, toys, books, dishes, toiletries, bath stuff, and a picture frame. And a toysrus gift card that Daddy is not going to use for a playstation game! We talked to Daddy's coworker, Deniz, and might take Mika to hang out with his family sometime soon. Mika can meet their boys Ellis and Avery! Ellis is almost out of toddlerhood, but Avery is only 6 months older than Mika.
The doctors appointment went well. No lectures or anything and now I feel kind of guilty for thinking that the dr. would say anything negative. The doc was really pleased with Mika's development. Mika weighed in at 15 pounds even and is 27 inches long. She isn't very fond of the doctor, but she likes the tongue depressor things. It was over quite quickly and we went upstairs to visit Grandma at the office. We didn't last very long there either as Mika was fairly exhausted and needed a nap in a bad way. So bad that as soon as I put her in the stroller, she passed out. We made it home about an hour before Daddy did. Once he got in and Mika had supper, we were off again! Over to visit G and tell her about Mika's adventures. G had been sick earlier in the day, but was doing better by the time that we arrived. Mika's been asleep since about 8:30. She had but a wee poo today, so I am expecting a 3AM diaper blowout wakeup call.
