New Pics… She’s going to be the death of me

I seriously don’t know how I make any time for blogging.  Alivia has been glued to my hip.  Yesterday was the worst.  It seemed like from the minute she woke up in the morning to when she went to bed at 8:00 pm that night, she was in my arms.  Every other minute all I heard was “hold”, “hold”.  When I couldn’t hold her than all I heard was whining, but mostly crying followed by the overly dramatic hunched over mope.  I never felt so bad in my life and you can’t even imagine the cramping I’ve been getting in both arms.  It’s like I just had the hardest workout of my life!  Last night, in an effort to give myself a break, I thought I’d run an errand when my husband got home.  Saying goodbye to Alivia for the night was the worst feeling ever.  When she realized that I was going out she started crying and shouting “hold mama”.  It was horrible and all of a sudden my heart sort of dropped and there I was standing there in a pool of guilt.  Like I was doing something wrong.  I fought the overwhelming feeling to just stay home, wiped my tear filled eyes, took a deep breath, and walked out the door.  This kid is seriously killing me.  She is going to be the death of me.  I know, I say it all the time but it’s so true!

When I told my mom this story she said that I am still the death of her.  I will continue to be the death of my mom no matter how old I get.  She told me as if I were going to be surprised or something.  I get it though.  I already realized that Alivia would be the death of me until, well, forever!  That’s okay though.  I signed up for this!

I was able to snap a few pictures of ‘the death of me’ at the park the other day.  We enjoyed getting out and getting some fresh air.  We’ve been having some great weather over here.  Perfect weather actually.  It’s been 70 degrees.  Today is 80 degrees and tomorrow, lucky for us, will be the same.  Too bad the hubby is working.  I’m so lucky to have a hubby that allows Alivia and I to spend our days together and enjoy the beautiful weather.  Thanks baby!

I’m linking up the photo below to The Paper Mama’s Photo Challenge.  The theme this week is eyes.  It was hard to choose a picture for this theme.  I love my baby’s eyes in all of the pictures I take of her! 

I’m linking up the photo below to the Finagle A Foto Challenge over at Happy Jax!  The theme this week is {Best of Week}.  I couldn’t think of a better picture to submit than of this one of Alivia in pigtails!
