What a week

We had a a pretty eventful week.

Monday: Drew & I stayed indoors, I needed a break after the weekend of work. Drew had a rough night.

Tuesday: I worked, Drew cried when I was leaving Cassie's & it BROKE my heart!! I called later in the morning & she said he was doing great. He was still napping when I went to pick him up, but was very excited to see me, MADE MY DAY! That evening Michael & I had dinner at the table while Drew had an evening nap, that's a rare occasion at our house. Drew had another rough night.

Wednesday: Drew was very needy & was not content in the morning. He came to a meeting with me at work & was center of attention. He did really well. After the meeting we made our way to the 5th floor to visit Granny. She accompianed us to the mall & fed Drew a bottle, so I could get some shopping done. It was so nice to have a little break after NO sleep. Drew enjoyed the stroller & was a great shopper. I think he enjoyed being out of the house. Drew had another rough night, are you sensing a pattern!?!?

Thursday: Woke up, didn't quite feel right, but thought I was just exhausted from all the rough nights, as time went on I got to feeling more & more erpy. By 1 I couldn't hardly move, I was SO ill, I called Michael & he came home. I went straight to bed & got a nap & as the evening went on I began to feel little by little better. There was nothing worse than feeling like I could not take care of my baby. It was awful, I feel bad for ANYONE who is sick, it plain stinks!! Did I forget to mention Drew had a rough night!!!!!!!! I caved here & put him in the swing, I was too sick & needed to rest. He slept much better there.



Friday: I was still a tad weak, but felt much better. Early evening my parents came for a visit & the Grinstead's came later on for the weekend. We ordered pizza & the boys enjoyed HOURS of Wii Mario Kart. Maggie & I gabbed about our upcoming trip. Later that evening Scott got a call that his grandmother was being airlifted to IA City, so Scott & Maggie drove up there. They got NO sleep & arrived back at our house Saturday am. Drew had ANOTHER rough night, but I couldn't complain I did get SOME sleep unlike our guests!!

Saturday: Scott stayed up while Maggie got a tiny nap. We had a nice lunch at Hooters & then us girls (and Mandy too) hit the mall for awhile. When we got home Scott & Maggie took a much needed nap while Michael, the kids, & I went to the park. It was a beautiful day & it felt good to be outside. Drew loved it!! That evening we went to Rick & Terri's to grill out & celebrate Maggie's birthday. Drew did better, but not good by ANY means, so I'm not sure what that is all about, he's been a droolig fool again, so perhaps more teeth are coming through. We'll see what this week brings!&

Sunday: Today I got the house back in order, did a little shopping ALONE, & this evening we'll go to my parents for dinner & have Emma overnight. My sister is in CA for work, so Emma is hanging out with us while her dad works. This week holds court for me (fingers crossed he pleads & it's a done deal!!) work, & NOTHING else on the calendar, but playdates, lunch with friends, & hanging out, YEAH!!
