Hello and Good-bye April - a quick recap

Well, April came and went and according to my blog, it was just a passing thought. I went back to work on Wednesday after a week in Florida and these last four weeks have passed by in the blink of an eye!

Nothing major happened during the beginning of the month. Babies R' Us has officially abandoned us as after several phone calls and visits, they have refused to contact us regarding the out of stock crib. AJ has been sleeping well in his cradle and we'll hopefully solve the crib dilemna soon. Our Disney trip came and went and though the initial anticipation had us rearing to go, I felt it went by all too quickly and here I am, back to work and waiting for the weekend. Almost as if the trip didn't happen.

We left on Wednesday, April 21st and had a fabulous week at the Pop Century Resort. We had so much fun and AJ's first trip was a success. He rode a few rides, got some sun and was smiling ear to ear. I couldn't have asked for a better vacation. I'm planning on taking Bella and AJ next August/September although I would like to do separate trips for them so I can enjoy it with each of them. Isabella and I are already planning on going back to Disney in August with my sister and nephew.

Yes, and of course my AJ turned 9 months old on the 16th (seriously where did the last 9 months go???). It was a little sad, but he's getting so big and so much more animated. It's fun to watch. It makes me really appreciate the little things in life. While in Disney I got the sad news that a fellow Bumpie (http://www.thebump.com/) had given birth to her son. So as not to invade her privacy, I won't divulge to much info, but the long and the short of it is that she carried this precious baby to term knowing that the likelyhood of survival was slim. She did have a few precious hours with her little one and he passed on, as expected. It really got me thinking, you know. It's amazing how we can get worked up over the littlest things. It made me realize that I needed to appreciate every single day/moment/hour/hug/kiss/laugh/smile that I get withy my children. They are my world and I couldn't imagine the heartbreak of losing one or both. And as Mother's Day approaches, I appreciate that sentiment more and more. My kids really are my life and my world and most of all, they are my heart and soul.
