Mama's Girl

Last night I had Enrichment night at church. I am on the committee and so I needed to go early to help set-up, etc. Chris offered to take all the kids and though I hesitated, my better judgement got the best of me and I let him - with the agreement that I would be home by 8:00 p.m. to nurse Morgan and put her to bed. It wasn't that I didn't think he could handle all three kids, I just didn't think Morgan would do well without me. I have only left her one time (with Grandma and Grandpa) to take Grant to a doctor appointment. She screamed much of the time I was gone. Anyways...I had hoped that it would be different this time as she was with Daddy. I told him to call me and I would come home if he needed me.

The phone never rang so of course, I thought I would come home to a happy baby.........NOT!!! She was screaming and out of breath from huffing and puffing. I guess she did fine when they went to the grocery store but once they got home and realized I wasn't here, she flipped out. Chris said she was crawling in circles around the kitchen trying to find me. Apparently she cried for a whole hour until I got home. Then ....it was into Mommy's arms, clinging for life....and she stopped crying.

It breaks my heart that she was so sad and I wasn't here to comfort her. I felt bad for Chris that he tried everything but couldn't get her to calm down. I love him for trying...and he wasn't even frazzled. What a good Daddy!!!

So....for now....I guess Miss Morgan will be coming with me, my little shadow wherever I go :), unless of course, it's for a short time. Grant and Loren were much the same way til I weaned them. At least I will always have company - haha!!!! Most people think I'm crazy but I don't mind. They are only little once....she's my baby...and pretty soon she will grow up and not want me around. Gotta love this girl....crying or not!!!

Can't wait to see what happens on Monday when I put her into her crib for bedtime.......ughhhhh...wish me luck...and strength!!!
