My mom came to visit for a week. It was wonderful to have her and it went by so quickly. Mom stayed busy baking, cooking, cleaning up the kitchen, and burping and changing Brie's diapers. Most of my days are spent with nursing Brie and the days fly by! I imagine at some point she'll nurse less often...and depending on the day and/or the time of day she does nurse less frequently.
Mom survived living with Maddy for a week. One afternoon while Mat and his dad were working on putting up sheetrock in the laundry room, my mom watched Brie while I took a nap. Maddy barked at the front door to be let in, so mom let her in and Maddy was hanging out in the front room with mom and Brie. I kind of work up from my nap to hear mom telling Maddy that she sure stinks and do all dogs stink so much. I went back to sleep and woke up a bit later and came out to the front room and mom asked me if Maddy normally stinks so much and I couldn't smell anything, so I just said that dogs do smell a little bit, but I couldn't really smell her. Then I sat down and caught a whiff of something terribly bad, so I checked Brie to make sure she hadn't pooped her diaper and then looked at Maddy and saw the signs of her having rolled in something up by her neck. Turns out Maddy had left the yard and gone and rolled in some cow manure. We kicked Maddy out of the house until Mat was finished with his hard day of work and he took her down to Sara's to give her a bath.
