I've never enjoyed a busy Monday. It's the first day of the week and even when I still worked outside of the home, I tried to not work on Mondays. And this particular Monday needs a seriously chilled vibe considering the weekend we've had.
Friday night we had a family date night with dinner and watching baby boy play at one of those mall playgrounds. We then went for ice cream and baby boy enjoyed a late bath before being tucked into bed. The next day husband went to his regular basketball practice followed by a full day of helping his friend's family move apartments. Moving in the snow is never fun. Moving with a baby is even worse. While he was out baby boy and I got busy making soup and baking hamburger buns. Once husband got home my body gave up on me so I went to bed at 5pm while he took care of things.
The next morning we prepared for church. Baby boy didn't seem well but to me he seemed well enough to attend sacrament meeting. Big mistake on my part. During sacrament the little Mr threw up his entire breakfast. After a quick clean up we all headed home. The throwing up continued until he had a blessing of healing from his dad and our home teacher. My sister in law (who has 4 boys) gave me some advice on keeping him hydrated and later my friend Brandy arrived with some essential oils to rub on his tummy. I then made dinner as we were expecting company (uncle Andrew and Alyssa). And after dinner husband washed baby up and tucked him in bed. Dear husband deserves a medal as he was a real champ this weekend. Faced with two sickly individuals he did his best in taking care of us both.
Unfortunately our day didn't end there, even though the throwing up was over, baby boy refused to sleep and so we gave in...the three of us snuggled in bed. The adults tried to sleep while the baby sang and played. He fell asleep sometime near 2am. He then woke up around 5am demanding a different sleeping position. Once settled in on his dad's chest we all returned to sleep.
And so we come to Monday morning. Baby boy is feeling like his normal energetic self. His appetite has returned and he is back to his mischievous ways. Since we both felt better, we took a quick walk to the complex office to pick up a special delivery. Another birthday gift for sweet baby boy. This time it's from my friend Kelly in San Francisco. The gift made baby boy's day and he's holding it right now as he takes a nap. I think I might need a nap too.
Family night out. Sharing a kiss with daddy.
The walk this morning. Checkout the tennis courts.
Birthday gift from Kelly:)
