Craziness, change, work, and silliness

So the last 2 weeks have been CRAZY. You already read my daycare drama that ended with me eating my words. Go figure. With Jack being out 2 weeks ago from daycare I only worked 1 full day of work. Two Fridays ago I was out all on my own though. We had a friend in town for almost 2 weeks and went out to dinner that Thursday night. I woke up around 2am and I thought I had food poisoning. It wasn't pretty. The up-chucking continued every 30 minutes right along with Braxton Hicks. Tom made me call my OB in the morning and he sent me to the hospital. LOVELY! I was in rough shape! Turns out it was a virus and after a lot of IV fluids and anti nausea medication I was starting to feel better. The hospital didn't make me stay over night which I was happy about. I was still off work last Monday and then it all started over again with Jack... On Wed. after being on his anti-biotic for a full week he spiked a fever at day care of 101.7. Tom was super dad this week and stayed home with him Thurs and Fri. I felt so bad because he actually missed a class trip to the San Fran airport to check out airplane engines. Since I missed so much work the week before and my upcoming week involves a regional inspection that we're getting ready for, he stayed home from class this time. (He's such a great dad and hubby!) We called the doctor trying to get an appointment. Apparently there's been some bug flying around here that only results in a fever. They told us to treat with Tylenol and keep him on his anti-biotic and if his fever goes over 103 to call. Nice! Jack is done his medicine and hasn't had a fever since Friday so I'm guessing it's out of his system. We'll just have to see. So that's been the craziness....
The change we went through is this....I'm 7 months along with baby #2 which means we're starting to prepare. I can't believe I only have 12 weeks left but anyway...one of the things we wanted to make sure happened before the baby came is that Jack would be in a "Big Boy Bed". This weekend was our first go at it. We switched over the guest room and bed and just made it his room. That way Jack's old room is already set for baby #2. We put a double bed on the floor and made it kid proof. We put him down for a nap yesterday in his bed and with some resistance at first, he eventually fell asleep on his bed, YEAH! We peaked on him thinking he would be laying, asleep, right in front of the door but he was all curled up with his blankets and monkey. Then when he woke up and he just played with his toys. We thought this equalled success and that's where he slept last night. There was some crying again but when we went in to peak he was racked out, snoozing like normal. So my little guy is in a big boy bed. I almost can't believe it! Potty training will be our next adventure.


We spent most of yesterday doing yard work. It's been so miserable here with rain the last 2 week our yard was looking more like a jungle. So we mowed, trimmed, weeded and whacked pretty much everything. Jack helped out of course and Tom and I are both hurting today. Hahahh



While I was at work Friday and Tom had Jack all to himself they had a silly moment. Tom won't let me post the pictures he took of them together since he's anti-blog, but he didn't say I couldn't share the story. ;-) For Halloween Jack had an Elmo head/bucket. For some reason it became a hat on Friday. The best thing is that Tom joined him. We have Tom's West Point parade hat (The big one with the 2 ft. black feather plume on it) on a shelf in our living room. Since Jack was wearing a hat, Tom needed a hat too. I wish he would let me post the pictures, they're so hilarious and sweet at the same time. It's one of my favorite pictures of them. I hate that I was at work and missed all the fun!!
