31 Hours and Counting

So the flu bug was rough... Carson wasn't better until Wednesday. He ran high fevers every day and was just miserable in general. (It's him in the picture from the previous post by the way.) Caden was healthy this last week for the most part, which was a blessing, but I got the dreaded flu bug on Tuesday, and didn't feel one ounce better until almost 11 on Thursday night and that was only after drinking a chocolate milkshake - which was the only thing I wanted and kept down in 4 days. At least it tasted good! :) Friday was the dawn of a whole new day! I began my long list of things that needed accomplished before our much awaited trip. The list was long enough to fill the entire last week, but in just a few healthy days, I've made great progress. The boys and I joined my cousin Alex and our friend Jamie for lunch at Tea Leaves - a most wonderful place, and I was able to complete several errands including picking up my maternity snoogle pillow. Just for future reference for all you gals...I don't know how I ever slept pregnant without it! It is SO comfy, and I don't get hot, and when I wake up, I'm not sore! It's a miracle thing, truly. Anyway, I'm on the short end of my list of things to do today. Cary and I leave tomorrow evening, and I'm so excited I can hardly sit still! I'm so thankful to my grandparents who are coming up to keep the boys during the week, and to my parents who will have them on the weekend. This trip wouldn't be the same otherwise! For Cary and I, it is the first non-church related trip without the kiddos ever. I'm sure I will have TONS of pictures and a recap from our trip. We'll be in DC Tuesday and Wednesday. The apple blossoms are out, and I can't wait to take pictures of them! Then we'll drive up to NYC Thursday morning and will be there until Sunday night. Can't wait to share our many stories, and I may just have to do so along the way so I don't leave anything to important out. Have a wonderful week everyone!!
