Sleepover!

Recently my friend, Darshana (Samaya's mom) asked me to be her 'back up' in case she went into labor with her second baby early and her original back up (her mom) wasn't here yet. I thought (and said) SURE! Knowing well her mom would be here a whole two weeks ahead of Darshana's due date and didn't really think much past that. 

WELL, guess what? She went into labor a solid THREE weeks early and I had the pleasure of hosting Samaya at our house! 

I'm making this all sound like it was a bad thing, when really it was a very enjoyable time had by all--especially Jackson. He was ELATED to have Samaya over and couldn't get enough of her. He is soooo sweet with all of his friends, it makes your heart burst to see him interact with them. 

Here they are comparing night lights (in Jackson's new bed! More on that later!) after their naps...

 And the remainder of the afternoon was spent playing in the backyard, eating snacks, dinner and going on walks. These kids were fairly easy minus changing twice as many diapers, picking up after two toddlers, bathing both of them, etc. etc.

I was thankful this all went down on a Sunday AND Jack was available to help out. He was a HUGE help!  

That night the kids went down fairly easy but woke up around 5 in the morning and in separate rooms no less! I couldn't believe Jackson woke up as he NEVER does this kind of thing and felt terrible for Samaya because she really missed her mom and dad. I grabbed both of them, settled into Samaya's bed (an air mattress in the nursery) and told them we were going back to sleep. Somehow the three of us managed to stay in bed until 7:30...Thank God. 

 That morning Samaya's parents called and said they had a beautiful little sister that Samaya just HAD to meet. Her sister, Devni was born around 6pm the night before and everything went smoothly with both mom and baby.

Jackson and I dropped Samaya off at her house and while we were so sad to see her go, she was ECSTATIC to see her daddy! Guess we were too much for her?!?

Samaya-- you are welcome back anytime and congrats to our friends, Jeff and Darshana on a perfect Devni!
