WTF!!!

So I wasn't feeling well yesterday but didn't really know how bad it was until about 5p or 6p when I started to feel like I was in labor again. No seriously...my stomach hasn't cramped like that I don't think ever. So after being up all night puking up everything and anything that was in my stomach, then dry heaving the nothing I had left...not to mention the unmentionables that come with the stomach flu, we decided to take me to the urgent care clinic. BTW for those of you who don't know what that is I feel sorry for you. It's like the emergency room but with zero of the wait. So from all the symptoms and dehydration the Dr. decided it was Viral Gastroenteritis. Oh did I mention that Reece was also restless last night and when I drug myself to feed her around 5a she threw up twice and that was only the start for her. So poor Chris was stuck changing sheets until we decided to just put her in bed with us. So not only did Chris have to take me to the doctor he had to take Reece as well. Okay where was I??? So after administering an IV and taking blood and urine, they sent me on my way. They said it was a good call to come in especially since I'm breastfeeding and along with the stomach flu causes massive dehydration. Yes!!! I'm still breastfeeding. So you may be asking how do I have time to write this?? My 2 favorite people are napping. Reece is such the trooper. Besides not being able to keep down food she is quite herself. Playing, getting into everything. Not easy to catch up on some much needed zzzz's when the baby is not wanting to cooperate. Anyway hopefully the weekend will bring brighter skies! and some food. I've only eaten a piece of toast all day!

Our 1st Family Vacation!





We finally had our 1st family vacation! We took Reece to Angel Fire New Mexico. She was such a trooper especially on our hikes. Let me tell you how convenient it is that she can drink out of a camelback! She started testing it out months ago when Chris would come back from a bike ride and just leave it hanging on the back of a chair. She would walk by and play with it and before we knew it she was a pro! Her favorite part of vacation was walking in and out of the condo to the nice big deck. Hmm where can we take her next?

Surprise!

I was in the kitchen today getting Reece something to drink and when I came around the corner I was greeted by something like this. Except she was already on the couch, half sitting on my computer, going to town on the keyboard. What's next?
