Another low-key (but good) weekend

I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow and I think I'm finally (fingers crossed) starting to feel better! Unfortunately, I can't say the same for little Gray who has had a stomach bug since Friday. I know, I know....could I have a sicker child? The answer is yes so I'm thankful. I'll take all the stomach bugs, stuffy noses, and croupy coughs as long as it's nothing serious. Needless to say, our weekend was pretty uneventful as a result. We took him for a big boy haircut on Saturday and then to feed the ducks at Audobon Park. He definitely enjoyed the ducks more and is not a good salon customer, hence the big tip I left. But, he does look precious so it was all worth it. And no Mom, it's not too short and he does not look like "Moe" from The Three Stooges. Besides, if his hair grows as fast as mine, we'll be back in the barber's chair before we know it.
We cooked and watched movies both nights and by Sunday we had a little touch of cabin fever. Fortunately, it was GORGEOUS with sunny skies and 65 degrees! We went mattress shopping for Gray's big boy room and he had a great time testing all of the floor samples. I got the feeling that the salesman did not think it was quite as endearing as we did, but oh well. We can't wait to get his mattress delivered tomorrow so that we can start putting his room back together finally!
With Gray still feeling crummy, we decided to stay put for Super Bowl Sunday so we're making lasagna and watching it here over a bottle of wine. Of course, Gray will miss all of the action, as most of it will take place after he's asleep, but we'll fill him in tomorrow. He got his fill of sports today anyway by watching the FBR Open with Adam.

Tomorrow starts another busy week, but thankfully Adam is in town again! I know! So exciting! I've got two work events this week so it will be a busy one for me. I can't believe February is already here! Before we know it, it will be Valentine's Day, then Easter.....where does the time go? If you find out, let me know. Until then, take care all!
