this week...

We've been busy. Last Thursday I got really sick, I started vomiting uncontrollably, I've always had a problem that I just can't stop once I reach 3 times. So I started doing it every 10 minutes, and it turned to blood. YIKES! I called the dr b/c it was giving me little contractions, and I just wanted to hear his thoughts, he said I could go to the hospital and get an anti nausea medication and fluids if it didn't stop and I said, ok, he doesn't seem worried, I will just wait it out, but then the blood started, and Matt and I agreed it would be a good idea to go to the hospital. I got there, and Matt called and said Landen awoke throwing up. Poor baby. I felt so bad I wasn't there, and I was just checking into the hospital, and I wanted to go home to take care of him. Not that Matt couldn't, just that I felt like I should. Anyway, I got medication, and managed to stop throwing up enough to go home, fluids, rehydration and not moving continued the next day. It was horrible. Landen had only thrown up 4/5 times in a two hour interval and went back to sleep. I had a hard time rehydrating, lost 5 lbs (all water) and just hurt so much. Matt helped a lot, and I was so glad he didn't get it. He got it Friday night, only threw up 2 times, and our friends from the hall, one family whom we'd have over for dinner the night I got it, got it too, but not as bad as I did, thank goodness. So that was certainly an adventure.
We had a congregation picnic Saturday, and that was fun. Landen and I went, and stayed a short time (2 hours) b/c I started having bad round ligament pains (that ceased as soon as I left of course) but it was a lot to be chasing Landen, it was 91, and I was uncomfortable. :)
Jeff and Maryann, Matt's parents came over Monday and hung out. We had a good time, and Landen just loves Jeff. As soon as he walks in the door, he is like, TRUCKS!!!! C'MON!!
He officially knows all his letters, (although W, sounds similar to blue) the sounds (me-what sounds does b make? Landen- buh!) He is now interested in trying to sound out works, or reading every lettere he sees every where we go. HAHA. Yesterday he went up to a silverado, and spelt it, and then said ssssiltruck! As though reading it.
Tuesday Jeff and Maryann came over for dinner. We had pizza, and they spent that time to see Matt (they hadn't seen him yet) and just hang out talking to him, and about his work.
I put an ad on Craigslist for him for electrical, and he's gotten a lot of calls, now he just has to learn to say no! He's been busy on non meeting days doing side work. We really need the money, and I was tryingto find a way to make a little more before the baby comes, but I miss him when he works so much.
Yesterday we had Lola, and just played at home. We had a good time, and took nice long naps all around. I slacked and made fish sticks and green beans for dinner, which were a hit with Landen. Landen and I went out for ice cream, and met up with Matt there at 7. We just needed to get out of the house, and I went to where Matt was working (near there rather). I got Landen rainbow sherbert as we have been learning about rainbows a little this past week, and he was very excited He doesn't really ever eat ice cream, we don't eat it (ok I do now and then with a brownie, or something chocolate, but when do I even have that?) So it was a special occasion. I had a kid cone too, and got cookies n cream.
Right now he is walking around with a lego on each finger. I think we will go to the park this morning. Boring stuff.
I meet my doula tonight though! I'm excited about that!!! I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks for reading my ramblings!
