Pure crazyness.

Wondering where in the world I am?  Here's a quick recap of the last 2 weeks of my life.

Drove to Columbia for my Dad's 50th birthday. Had to stop at McD's for a snack wrap only 20 minutes from the restaurant.  Yes, being pregnant makes you do weird things.  While there, Jaxon fell down Gpa & Gma's flight of hardwood stairs, luckily all it did was scare him to death.  A couple days later he was playing with my Dad's 5-pound weights and somehow ended up falling onto them (I was in the bathroom at the time so I am still not sure how it happened).  He got a bump the size of an egg.  No, seriously.  An egg.  It was terrible... made mama cry and was this close to rushing him to the ER because of how it swelled up and bruised immediately.  2 weeks later he still has a black eye.

Stayed in Columbia for 3 days, then drove 5 more hours to Northern Iowa to spend 4th of July with my inlaws.  While we were there, Jaxon caught strep throat.  Not exactly sure where, but my poor little man now has an egg on his forehead, a black eye, and strep throat.   His fever got as high as 103 one night which makes for a very restless night for mama, worrying about my boy.  A couple days later I realized he was also teething ... good 'ole molars finally coming in.  The next day he slipped and fell on their wet garage cement floor and got a bump on the back of his head.

Rough week for my little boy?  I think so.

My husband was able to fly in for the weekend of our anniversary.  He got in late on the 9th (our 5 year anniversary!) and had to leave Sunday evening, but it was still a fabulous weekend together.  Hopefully I will have some exciting news to share that came from him being home for such a short time . . .

My inlaws stayed for a few more days and helped me pack up my house, aren't they great?!  We got about 90% of it done, the only thing left is the furniture and misc things that I'll need in the next few weeks while I'm still living here.  But otherwise everything is in boxes in my garage.  Makes me happy that it's packed already, meaning I don't have to do it alone, but it makes me sad that it's packed period.  I had a few tears slip out of my eyes while packing ... especially while packing Jaxon's room.  So many amazing memories here, but I am looking forward to making some together with my husband in our new home, wherever we may be once we can finally be together again.

So that's it!

Oh wait ... forgot to mention, Angie moved her wedding up from Oct 2 to July 24 (which is NEXT weekend!)  I am so excited but we have lots to do in the next week, including a fun bachelorette party for me to plan before Saturday.  And to do this while watching a 1-year old who is still recovering from strep ... AND now he decided to share it with me, so at this point now I also have strep... no voice and a wicked sore throat.  I've been teaching him to share, but he must not have gotten the "don't share your sickness with your pregnant mama" memo ... oh well. :)
