Wonderful Weekend

Little Nadia looks so much like her Daddy! She loves to snuggle now.


Early Friday morning I woke up so sick. I was up and down for hours. I finally managed to get back to sleep only to be woken up an hour later by my alarm. I got up and got ready for work, but it was not a great day. I was off by 2 and went home with the baby to relax. She was not in the mood to relax though. That is the one thing that both Jacob and I agree we miss. There are times that you are just exhausted, or sick, but above all you are a parent. So you suck it up no matter how you feel and do your best. I think the first time we have a baby sitter over night we will spend it not going out, but sleeping in LOL. Friday night our friends Lisa and Justin wanted to hang out but we were both just too tired.

Saturday morning we woke up, got ourselves some coffee and went to a couple garage sales. I wanted to get Nadia a Bumbo seat, but I didn't want to pay $40 for one. I know she won't use it much and you have to be very careful with them. She is just too cute sitting in it though!


Afterwards we went to look at houses in Queen Creek. We looked at about 8 houses and were impressed by most of them. All the houses we looked at had pools and all of them were at or under $150K. A few of them were just too big to be honest. We don't need 3000 sqft nor do we want to pay utilities on that much space. We really enjoy going out and looking to see what is out there and it gives us a chance to see which areas we like. On our way back into town we stopped to pick up a gift for the White Elephant gift exchange at my office Christmas party next week. I also had to stop and order California Rolls from Kona Grill. I had been craving them ever since I had them when Peter and Marcia were out. We stopped by the house and stocked up Nadias diaper bag and headed over to Justins house. They were decorating the house and drinking egg nog and rum. We both had a drink, played Mario Cart and visited for a while. We were home by nine and exhausted. I noticed that I had missed a call. It was my parents cell phone and my Dad left a page to call it back. I knew this wasn't good. They don't use their cell phone often. I tried calling a few times and no one answered. I tried their home, no answer. So I called my brother, he didn't know anything. I finally got a hold of my Dad and they were at the hospital. My Mom had gone in at about 5 with chest pains. It is basically the same issues as the last time she was in. They are running tests on her and keeping her a few days. They did get 4 liters of fluid out of her and she was stabilized that night, so she is feeling better.

Today we laid in bed and watched football. When Nadia napped we napped. It was a nice relaxing day. I thought about going to visit my Mom at the hospital but we didn't think it would be a good idea to bring Nadia to the hospital. My Mom was pretty knocked out by all the Morphine they had given her anyway. We did finally venture out around 5 to pick up formula and diapers. We came home and cleaned the house for about an hour before we settled down to watch the Amazing Race and Desperate Housewives. All in all we had a great weekend together minus my Mom going into the hospital.
