Mom in action!
1:00 AM - The day "kicks off" with Parker screaming, attempts to sleep through it are fruitless. Mom is up while dad offers sleepy support.
2:07 AM - Parker and mom asleep on the couch
3:37 AM - Mom attempts putting Parker to sleep, attempt failed, back to feeding.
5:00 AM - Screaming from nearby room, dad thinks "Should I get up and help?", screaming stops, no sign of mom. Mom rescued once again.
6:32 AM - Dad awake getting ready for meeting finds mom in the kitchen stirring up dinner for this afternoon, Parker in the other hand.
8:58AM - Mom audibly expresses disgust from the second row in the chapel as Parker spit up his morning "carrots"
9:42 AM - Dad spots blood on Parker. Parker's hands are bleeding from blisters. Mom to the rescue with baby wipes.
9:00-10"06 AM - Mom endures not only stinky diaper but dad's breath resembling diaper smell
10:01 AM - Tears trickling down mom's face. Caused by smells????
10:02 AM - Realization as to why mom is crying as she bares a beautiful heartfelt testimony from the pulpit

Though Super Bowl Sunday is once a year, this Super mom does it day in and day out. Truly she is fittingly the Super Mom on this Super Sunday!

Day in and day out for sure! Sounds like a full {regular} day. Great job Melissa, and good job Devin for all your "moral" support!
Hey I saw your name on Jodi's blog and I hope you don't care if I peek at your blog. I can't believe how fast Parker is growing. Your family pic is SO cute and I LOVE the one with him and Devin. I see you in primary playing the piano and around church but I just never get to say hi so... HI!!!
