This weekend, Grandma Nini, came to visit us. What a weekend to come too. I will back track to Thursday night. Ava woke up at about 11pm and started crying. Mike went in to settle her and about 5 mins later, we heard her again. We knew something was up. After trying to settle her, nothing was working, we realized she had a stuffy nose. Ut-Oh, I thought, Ava caught a cold. Our nanny was sick this week,so I guess she passed it on. I also was not feeling 100% either. My throat was sore and my nose was stuffy. Let's just say between Mike, my mom and I, we tried to settle Ava and after 3 1/2 hours, she finally went to sleep. She still woke up 3 more times before she got up at 5am. I ended up sleeping on the couch at 2:30am to let Mike sleep because he had gone to bed at 10:30pm that evening and had to work the next morning. I knew every noise that Ava made, he would hear and get up to settle her because he didn't want me doing too much. How can I not, she is my baby and as her mommy, I felt like I had to be there for her. I only slept 3 hours that night. For someone that is supposed to be on bed rest, it was a rough night for me. Anyway, she still has a stuffy nose, but I am hoping she is on the mend. She did manage to eat some breakfast this morning. I guess I am just happy that she is sick now instead of when Noah gets here.
Friday afternoon, Mike's mom came to visit us from LA for the weekend. She and Ava had a blast outside yesterday playing in her sandbox and with all her pods. Ava has collected over 100 pods. She loves to put them in her bucket and then dump them out and then put them back in. Here they are playing with all the pods...
Ava's newest thing is crawling under the table. I don't get why kids like to do it, but here she is!!!
We bought our Christmas Tree yesterday as well. I told Mike to get a small one and that is exactly what he did. This is the smallest tree we have ever had, but I didn't want something that felt so overwhelming. We decorated it this morning with a couple of my favorite ornaments and the rest will stay in the box for another year or two. Ava really enjoyed looking through the box of ornaments. She kept saying "woooow!" and "ooohhhh". She has such great expressions!
I am starting to feel a little bit better. I feel like I can do a little bit more, but not much. I am still trying to make rest and liquids my priority, but some days it is just hard when so many things need to get done. I got all my Christmas presents wrapped yesterday. I only have a couple more gifts to buy (or should I say send Mike to buy). My little sister, Jaclyn, was nice enough to go out and get some Christmas gifts for me and I am forever thankful!!! I just have to wrap those this morning. I wanted to give Mike's mom all our LA gifts so we don't have the send them and get all the presents that have to be shipped done, so Mike can send out tomorrow. Doesn't it feel like you spend more in shipping then on the actual gift!!
Well, another week down and Noah is still sitting comfortably in my belly. I am thankful for everyday he is in there and take it one day at a time!
