Munchkin is sick! :(

...and my pregnant self is not handling it well.

Having a sick toddler is the worst. It’s always crazy messy, you feel terrible for the poor little kid, and it’s just highly unpleasant. The only thing worse is being pregnant with a superhuman nose and quick gag reflex with a sick toddler.

Poor Andrew has some kind of stomach bug going on right now. Friday I woke him up from his nap to find his bed covered in throw-up. It took all my will power to strip the bed and throw everything in the wash without throwing up myself. Once that was done I threw lavender oil on his bare mattress, changed his clothes, cleaned him off and washed our hands about 5 times. He seemed fine for a few hours after that but then threw up twice in a row about 2 hours after dinner. I immediately held my breath and went to go hold the crying little man and then created a mantra to help me clean up. It was rough.

Thankfully my mom was able to come over and help me with him – she also brought some Pedialyte for him to drink which helped quite a bit, I think. Saturday and Sunday he was perfectly fine – no weirdness, no throwing up, nothing.

Monday morning, I entered his room to find diarrhea everywhere. Thankfully Jesse was home and able to help me. He cleaned up the bed and floor, bathed Andrew and got him dressed as well as doing the laundry and staying up to continue changing Andrew. He is the bestest.

Andrew had some probiotics in his milk this morning and is currently sucking on another bottle of Pedialyte so fingers crossed that whatever this is goes away fast! 

I’m so happy to be pregnant but it’s frustrating to be so “fragile” sometimes. Oh well. This too shall pass :) Just hoping the little guy feels better soon - it sucks big time when your kid is sick and you can't do much about it.

Being sick means cartoons in mommy and daddy's bed

Saturday morning

♡Our weekend♡ 2.21.15

Because hubby worked Valentine's weekend, we had to make our date night the next weekend... well, it ended up turning into a date weekend, haha!

Saturday afternoon, we dropped Andrew off at Granny's and then headed to the movie theater. We saw

(And thought it was great! Everyone in the theater was laughing, it's actually pretty funny)

After getting home we relaxed a bit (I had made sure that all the housework had been finished that morning), we dressed up a bit and headed to Malios for a yummy steak and seafood dinner.

It was so nice getting home to a clean apartment, not having to be quiet or clean or make dinner... we opened a bottle of wine and curled up to watch FRIENDS, haha!

Sunday we slept in. As. Late. As. We. Could. Lol seriously, most glorious thing ever, not having to get up for Andrew- the puppy was outside and no hotel checkout time. SO good! We ate some muffins, turned on the pre oscars coverage, eventually got a ton of sushi 

and then got ready for Hollywood Night!

We had a lot of fun again this year at the Oscar's event but we both agreed that it might be more fun to have a viewing party next year :)

Hubby's Golden Birthday!

Well, my hubby had his Golden birthday today... and is currently in class, poor guy. But we made a weekend of it!

Friday we went out for dinner at one of our favorite places, Smokey Bones. It was my mother's birthday on Jan. 19th so we brought her with us and had a great time - munchkin had a blast eating out and people watching :)

Saturday we took Andrew to the children's Gasparilla Parade. It was the first time we've gone to any Gasparilla events and it was a lot of fun - definitely wanting to go the more events next year.... here's more about Gasparilla. We also went to a work dinner for Jesse and two of his co-workers that all had birthdays this month. Munchkin got lots of beads... hubby got lots of drinks ;)

Sunday was the biggest event. My mother came over to baby-sit and we took off for a hotel. We watched a movie in our room and just hung out and sipped some wine for a few hours. Then had a cab called to take us to the Theater - we had dinner upstairs with a show-themed menu (which was delicious) and then walked down to the theater just before show time. We saw Book of Mormon which was fabulous! SO funny! 

Afterward we went to Ciro's Speakeasy for a cocktail and then retreated back to the hotel. 

In the morning we sat by the river and ate breakfast before sprawling on the bed and watching cupcake wars until check-out haha!

Happy birthday, hubby - you are wonderful <3
