What a Crummy Weekend

My Valentine's weekend is over and hopefully all the bad stuff that came with it...with a few exceptions of course. On Firday I was sitting in my chair at work and this really nice man handed me a HUGE boquet of flowers and when I read the card I wanted to cry. My husband is so wonderful and I am so blessed to have him.

Friday night we went to dinner with Travis' family for Nana's birthday at Double Dragon. I went straight from work so Travis and Lauren met me there. When Travis got there Lauren looked awful. She had been crying and just looked absolutly miserable. She tried to eat and wouldn't so I just held her and then she perked up a little bit. Everyone went to Nana and Papa's house for cake, but we decided to bring the girl home and go to bed. Poor thing ran a fever of almost 102 all night, so we just put her in bed with us and tried to keep her comfy.

Travis let me sleep in Saturday morning and then brought Lauren into me around 9 so she could take her nap. She slept for about an hour and then woke up crying. She was pretty miserable until her Nanny Pam came over to play. She perked up for Nanny and they hung out for a little while. Nanny had to go to the casino with Nana and Papa and Aunt Debbie, so she left and we had dinner. Travis got Hubby's...my favorite! Lauren would fall asleep and as soon as I'd lay her in her crib, she'd scream. So we ended up sleeping in Mommy and Daddy's bed again.

Today has been a little rough. It's amazing what Tylenol can do for a kid, but when it wears off...WATCH OUT! II'm going to go wake my husband up in the recliner and make him come to bed now.

Here's to a better week!

Lauren is 9 months old!


I can't believe that our little girl is already nine months old. She spent the day with her Nanny Pam and got spoiled to pieces! Travis and I got her a stroller with a baby doll for Christmas and Nanny put it together for her today...she loves it! She pushed it all over the house for me.

She says Mama, Dada, and we're pretty sure she's trying to say Jock. Of course it's all just baby babble, but it's so dang cute. She is a very smart girl...she gets that from her Momma.

Happy 9 month Birthday Lauren Michel!

Girls Weekend

This past weekend was a total girls weekend...and we had a lot of fun! Daddy went to Portland to visit his friend Matt and check out the new gym so Mommy and baby girl got to hang out. We had a lot of fun! We took a nap together on Friday afternoon, then spent the evening laughing and playing. On Saturday I had to work at the pharmacy so Lauren got to spend the morning with Nanny Pam and Aunt Trisha and Kylee and Deegan. She loves her auntie and her auntie loves her to pieces...it's pretty obvious. Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Steve stopped by for a visit in the afternoon and then we went to Nana and Papa's to meet Trisha and the kids before we went to dinner at Hubby's...whew...what a whirlwind of activity! On Sunday Lauren had a rough morning when she was going through Daddy withdrawls...good thing he came home at 3!

The point to this blog was to say thank you to Travis for being such a wonderful father and such a loving husband. I don't know what I would do without you!
