Now that I have my planner all set up, I see that I have a
busy night ahead of me making cards. I have two more shipments to get out
before Wednesday! I still have a few more cards left if you're interested (see info at left)!
So, I have to get out a quick blog post now to tell you
about how amazing it was to go to the Moms’ Night Out at the Oscars last night! I brought
along my dear friend Molly. It seemed appropriate, as she was the one who
encouraged me to try for a baby when I was feeling pretty overwhelmed by the
whole “trying to get pregnant” thing two years ago (and she was already 6 weeks
along with her first pregnancy). Nice timing on that nudge, Molls! Nine months later, I had
little E. We went through our pregnancies together, and she was a HUGE support as
my anxiety spiked during my pregnancy. I still call her when E takes a tumble
or comes down with a nasty flu… to cry and hear her tell me words of
encouragement like, “You need to calm the f*** down.” Haha! Gah, I love her!
Ellie helped me get ready before my big night. She barged through the bathroom door while I was on the toilet, brushed my hair with Mark's hairbrush, pretended to trim my nose hairs with Mark's nose-hair trimmer, then said, "You need a bow, then you be all set!" Bippity, Boppity, Boo!
The food was delicious, and Molly and I sipped sodas and
mingled a bit, then headed to the red carpet for some pics. We had lots of laughs, and before we knew it, it was time for
the raffle. No winners at our table, but it was great to hear the cheers of
excitement as other moms won some wonderful prizes.
More than anything, I just loved getting dressed up, feeling
like a princess (in my VonBargen’s jewelry we borrowed), spending some time
with lovely, amazing moms, and having a great friend by my side.
Mark said Ellie went to bed well with me gone for the night,
and I was able to relax and enjoy some much-needed me time! Yay for getting
pampered, wined, and dined!
If you’re a local mom, mosey on over to the Burlington VTMoms Blog, read some wonderful posts from moms in your community, and keep an eye
out for other amazing events that you can be a part of!

I woke up this morning to E climbing in bed with me, wearing her glasses (with the lenses popped out), and asking me to "wake up now." I stumbled out into the living room, and she happily raided my swag bag. Happy girl! Thanks again, BVT Moms!
