I got an early Christmas Present this year...I waited awhile to announce this becasue I didn't want to jinx myself but it is true, a miracle has occured and my little one is sleeping through the night!!! Oh the blessed day has come and I am loving my life. After several failed attempts at sleep training and a very sick baby it has happened and seems to be here to stick. We even have a real nap schedule. So for all those out there who have felt my pain dreams do come true!
I just want to start this post by saying that I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP!!! And I can't stop laughing right now.....
About 30 minutes ago I was going through my pictures getting ready to do a post about going and getting our Christmas tree. It is a tradition that I love and I have been holding on to my love for going to get a real tree over surrenduring to the fake... For those of you who have been following my blog for a while you probably haven't forgotten about our mishap with the Christmas tree but if you are new to H and E than take a look at this and this before you continue on!
Anyhoo so there I am sitting there looking at my cute pictures we took the other night thinking that I am grateful that I am not the pregnant one this year (Simone is much cuter pregnant than me) when I hear a crash. I had just put Miss B down so before I could even think what was that? I could only think I hope that didn't wake her up. As I turned the corner to see that our tree had tipped over....YES THAT IS THE TRUTH, I could not stop laughing. I honestly have no idea why or how it tipped, it was the perfect little tree and had no lean to it, and we even had the EXPENSIVE stand. I had to call Hank to come home from a church meeting to help me get the tree back up and get the water damage but the whole time we just could not stop lauging.
Maybe we are not meant to have a real tree but I will keep pushing forward!!! In the meantime will someone come redecorate my tree because it was too much work the first time???
To say the last couple weeks have been rough is an understatement. About 2 weeks ago Miss B got the croupe which turned into a horrible cough where no one in this househeld slept for a week which ultimately took us to the doctor's office where she was given antibiotics. As she was on the mend who would get sick... ME. I honestly have not been sick in so long, besides good old pregnancy sick and this thing is kicking my trash. I think I will head to the walk in clinic today to get some meds because I am almost positive it is a sinus infection (had enough in my life to know). I hope I start feeling better because I don't know how much more I can take. However I will take being sick a thousand times over than having a sick kid, so not fun to watch your kids suffer and feel so bad for them and at the same time want to strangle them becasue they are so hard!!!
So needless to say we have been home bound for the last couple weeks, nothing too exciting but we still manage to have some fun while lounging around!!
So for the second part of my trip I headed down to Vegas with 12 other crazy moms to run the Las Vegas Ragnar. If you have never heard of the ragnar races or never done one...well start training now because they are amazing. Ok when you are in them you sometimes think, now how is this fun? but truly they are so great.
Imagine 12 girls in 2 vans running a relay race for 200 miles on no sleep, weird food, and a little red bull thrown in there. It makes for an amazing bonding experience and 30 hours you won't forget. I could go on an on about it but instead I will just say try one or look at my pictures and see the fun in them!!!
