Another weekend come and gone 🙁 Time just seems to go by so fast these days…well atleast the weekends. Poor Bub has had stomach flu all weekend and wasn’t a happy camper. It put a bit of a damper on Easter. We didn’t do much. He was a trooper for a little egg hunt in the front yard. He really got into it-the first smiles I’ve seen since Thursday! It wore him out though. It’s the weirdest thing, he’s been throwing up around 4 am the last three nights. No other time during the day…just 4am. The rest of the time it’s coming out the other end 🙁 He even slept with us last night, he hasn’t done that since he started sleeping in his own room. It reminded me of those co-sleeping days-when I would lay there looking down at his little face in the dark, smelling his sweet hair. He put his little arm on my shoulder and snuggled as close as he could get. It was hard to put him in his own bed tonight, all by himself. He was fine, no fuss, layed right down and closed his eyes. The first of things I’m sure that will hurt me more then him. He’s a year and half and that seems old.

I HATE ONLINE POKER SPAM!! Boy those guys drive me nuts…I just spent the last half hour deleting all the spam comments on every single one of my posts. It’s just so rude to comment spam in a post written about a special family momment. I know they don’t read the posts and do all the spaming in bulk…but it’s still rude!
Had another doctor visit today…and everything is A Ok 🙂 Aidan’s heart beat sounded big and loud today and we got to listen for a few minutes which was nice. Really brightened my day. Then we got Jack n Box and rented movies-just what I needed! No more funk for me (well atleast for a few days) We just watched Final Cut, good movie-kinda left you hanging-but a good flick (as Evan would say). Lennox went to bed really early tonight, I think he’s growing again. I’m actually pretty happy he’s out early, he hasn’t been the most fun today…you know some days are just like that. Now I’m just going to sit down in front of another movie and fill out my hospital registration forms 🙂 Yeehee!! Yup it’s that time. Boy it feels so close and yet so far away.
Ps..I just love the new lime coke commercial! Put the lime in the coconut and ya drink em both up…I love that-it cracks me up
I had the weirdest dream last night! I went into early labor(a month early) and I could feel everything-it was very vivid. And both our families showed up immediately without us calling them and along with our families were all these random people…and I was upset because I wanted it to just be me and Evan this time. And we were in this weird house that the doctor came to and then it turned into a hospital. It was one of those dreams that you wake up and go back into…it seemed like I had it all night long. I’ve never had a dream like this before. With Lennox I used to dream that I gave birth and then the hospital would try and give me a toddler instead of my newborn or that someone took him and we had to go find him. But I guess then I didn’t know what labor was like -boy does my brain remember all the gory details.
A funny thing happened at our daily park visit yesterday…we were playing having a good time when everything went silent-no mommy chatter, no kids screaming, not even a bird chirping! I look up to a see a Father about to enter with his 2 or 3 year old who was holding a wiffle bat. That’s right a wiffle bat at the playground in the hands of a toddler! I ‘m sure there is some unspoken rule of playground etiquette that says Thou Shalt Not Let Thy Child Bring a weapon disguised as a toy. I’m not a big fan of toys at the park any how (but that’s another post) The dad looked a little bewildered at the reaction of all the moms…but little did he know the chaos that was about ensue. We now had amongst all the buckets, shovels, and sand trucks a WIFFLE BAT. Something most of these little ones are not allowed to play with yet. It became the most coveted item there. The children surrounded the boy like vulchers and the war began. The playground was no longer a place of innocent fun…it was a battle ground. Children would snatch the bat and wack the kid who was just holding it and so on – until everyone was crying. Finally the dad got wise and put the bat away and things went back to normal (after a lot of shaking from withdrawl). So folks the moral of the story is… If your kid is under 5 don’t let them brings toys to the park (short of sand toys) They don’t know how to share and will inevitably drop it or set it down long enough for some other kid to pick it up- at which point a tug of war will begin that ends with no one really being happy. Let’s keep the playground a fun stress free place 🙂
Well we went to story time again and I’ve decided it’s not for us. Lennox is too active and it’s just not exciting enough to keep his attention. It’s play ground city for us 🙂
Evan’s family was up this past weekend…and I was a little nervous before hand that it would be too crazy. I haven’t been handling stress of any kind well lately. I tend to over do everything and wear myself out. But ya know what not only was it not stressfull-it was fun! I love my in-laws (I’m blessed with good ones). We had a great time showing them around San Fran. Lennox was in heaven with his cousins here… he is so worn out that he’s gone to bed early every night this week. And lets not even mention the fact that I didn’t cook or clean a thing for 2 days! I really wish there was a way we could live closer. Lennox and his cousin Jack would be very close (I have a feeling they will be anyway), and we wouldn’t have to worry about finding kids for Lennox to play with- he’d have instant friends.
It’s hard be bi-costal…I wish I could pack my family up and move them to Bakersfield. Then everyone could be in the same place and we’d have more of a chance of living near everyone. At the moment neither of our families live where Evan could find work…it’s hard for them to understand that. Really we are in the perfect spot for what he does now…so I think our families should pack up their lives and come to us(ok wishful thinking)
Well Evan’s birthday is nearing it’s end and I think it’s been a good day 🙂 We got him some good presents he wasn’t expecting and went to Red Lobster for dinner. Oh Red Lobster is so good…the biscuits, the vinaigrette salad dressing, and this time they had this coconut sauce to go with the coconut shrimp-oh it was to die for! Probably just the pregnancy talking but man did I enjoy dinner tonight. We got this sampler appeitzer, bacon wrapped scalops (bacon wrapped anything is good), crab and lobster stuffed mushrooms, then to top it all off fried clam strips. Everything was just amazing…and Lennox even behaved himself for the most part. I feel like it was my birthday!
Had my monthly doctor visit today. Everything is going perfectly, got to hear Aidan’s heart beat (very strong) After this it’s evey 2 weeks for a while..I’m in the beginning of the home strech-thank goodness! I’m so tired of being pregnant!!! Cross your fingers my diabetes test comes back negative…I’m not really worried- but you never know.
