stomach flu, take two

Phew! I'm glad that's over...Having it in December was awful, but AGAIN??

It started with what we thought was a typical toddler bug...and ended with me losing a few pounds...the hard way. I just thought that "all day" sickness with pregnancy was bad....why not bring on the stomach flu to prove me wrong?? Poor Ryan... the good news is that he didn't get it this time. The bad news is that he had to take care of us both. He's golfing today and I'm glad - he deserves a break!!

Audrey and I are both home today b/c I thought we both needed one more day to recover and I wanted to give her one more day before she was around other kiddos.

The past few weeks I've been telling anyone and everyone who will listen just how sweet Audrey has been. She's always been very happy and personable, but in her "old age" she's slowing down a lot more to give hugs and kisses and share more of "herself" with us. Watching her and her personality makes me wonder about this baby we get to meet in September. I wonder what he or she will be like? Outgoing and fiesty like Audrey? Shy and quiet? I can't wait to find out!

I have a baby check-up tomorrow...this time I'm not nervous to get on the scales. (Thanks in part to the previously mentioned stomach flu...) In a few weeks I'm planning a gender ultrasound to see who's swimming around in there...I want to know if I'm going to be sorting through all my pink stuff or if I'm going to start over with blue! We really have no preference - I think there are exciting things to come either way!

I'm excited about the next few weeks! My college roommate, Ashley, is getting married and we have the bachelorette party, bridal luncheon, wedding, etc... to look forward to! It should be a good time with the girls! I'm a little concerned about looking like a squashed salami in the (non-maternity) bridesmaid dress, but I think it's going to fit (barely)!!

My parents should be closing on their house today - as long as everything goes smoothly - you know how that goes. It has been so much fun watching it come together...although I'm sure they're glad that the building part is over. I know mom's probably glad to be done with meetings... They hand-picked every single thing that went into that house. They found a floor plan they like and then went to town...I think they rearranged the whole entire kitchen. I can't wait to share pictures!

Well, while the munchkin is resting I'm going to try to get a few things done around here and get a little rest myself!

I'll update after the doctor appointment!

OH...and my SAD news of the week. Audrey's pediatrician is moving back to Minnesota!! Oh my goodness....I literally almost broke down in tears in the office. Sad, sad, sad... (I never would've understood this until I became a mom)
