What a week!

Well, last week was nuts! I went on Saturday to see my sister and the baby in the hospital and while I was there I started to feel sick. By Saturday night it was full blown - stuffy head, runny nose, sore throat, couldn't breathe type of cold. Ick! I was sick all the way through Wednesday - I wound up leaving 1/2 day on Tuesday and instead of going to help my sister on Wednesday I got stuck at home trying to get better.

Thursday and Friday were great - I drove out to Cheryl's house on Thursday morning and spent the day helping her with the baby <3 He's so darn cute! I went back to my parent's house Thursday night and hung out there (well, I went shopping because I was extremely bored at their house all night). Friday morning I got up and drove back out to Cheryl's house and stayed for a few hours. Most of the time we were sitting around talking but we got some things accomplished - she got to shower, pump, etc. while I watched the baby. Then it was back to my parent's house where Paul and Shayla met me. I missed them so much! I know it was only one night but it was really hard to be away from my family like that!

Saturday was my brother's annual BBQ. We had a lot of fun! It was very different this year though - usually there were very few kids and lots of adults getting trashed. This year there were tons of kids and less adults getting trashed - makes me think we are all growing up - haha!!

There's not too much to report on the surrogacy front - the BIG ultrasound was rescheduled to 9/7 because MB starts his new job on 9/10 and wouldn't have been able to come. It actually works out well because we are going away that weekend and having that Friday off will be great!

As far as cravings go - I had to have nachos and cheese for a week or two - and I mean every few days or I felt like I was going to cry! Last night I couldn't decide between having a banana or having an ice cream sandwich so I had both...together. I cut the cookies off the ice cream sandwich, sliced up a banana and placed the pieces on the ice cream, and then put the cookies back on. So I had an ice cream, banana, cookie sandwich - hehe!

Well, I guess I should get back to work. I haven't done much today and someone might notice soon - haha!
