We had lots to be happy about this past week. First off, Dad came home from his ski trip last Wednesday. He was in Colorado for 6 days and Tyler and I were both very happy he was home. It's always nice to get your other half back especially when you're very pregnant and running around after a 2 year old. I gotta say though, Tyler's activeness has kept me feeling really good and hasn't allowed me to think about all the stuff that comes along with pregnancy. I barely have any swelling this time around and I thank him for this - he keeps me on my toes! My rings still fit and they were long gone at this point with him. Every little ache and pain I had while Dave was gone I envisioned me having the baby without him here, thankfully all was good. Phew!
We celebrated Uncle Kevin's birthday with a little party on Saturday afternoon. Add in some really good ice cream cake and this preggo was a happy camper. Then my Mom and I went to this outlet for an online baby store and I went with 3 things I wanted and we found all three! Grammy bought us the Sit and Stand double stroller that I've been wanting! We got a Moses basket for the baby and another set of the same monitors we have all at a discount! I never find bargains and don't have the patience to really look for them, but this time we scored big time! Smiling, happy, preggo leaving the store.
P90X before the cake...
What could make my day get better? Date Night! Dave and I went to dinner and a movie. Ahh, we ate and ate and ate. Filet Mignon's to be exact with all kinds of other good stuff. Celebrating our last few moments of sanity before baby #2 arrives. Then, on to see a movie and I stayed awake. Bonus! It was a great night with just the two of us.
On Sunday, Tyler and I went to see GG. Tyler is the only great-grandchild that calls her GG. Kyle and Adam call her Old Gram. Great Grandma is 96 and has decided GG will be her new name. So I guess GG it is! Within about 10 minutes of being at her house Tyler managed to press the Life Alert button that she wears on a necklace. Interesting...I had no clue what was going to happen once he pressed it. I thought an ambulance was going to show up, but I ended up talking to a man through a box on her counter explaining my 2 year old pressed it. Hey, at least we know it works right? We ended up having an impromptu lunch at McDonald's. A 1.5 hour lunch at McDonald's with a very broad range on the age spectrum...2, 31 and 96. GG ate McDonald's for the 2nd time in her life and Tyler showed her how to eat chicken nuggets because she's never had them before.
Dave, Kyle and Amy got in some skiing on Sunday. By time they got home from skiing I was ready to go to sleep. I'm starting to run out of fuel at the end of the day. When we got home, we got in to our PJ's, ate really bad for you food and watched the Super Bowl. The half time show came on right before Tyler was going to bed and I wish I could've got video because I think he might have a slight obsession with Madonna. He just pointed and made this noise like "hmm, hugh, hmmm". He really liked her.
And lastly, a bed update. Tyler has been successfully sleeping in his bed for the past week! No more sleeping on the floor. Not sure what brought this on, but all of a sudden he's happy and content in his bed! Yippee! I'm one happy Mama!
