I'm Thankful For...My Mom

Day 9

This is a post that I couldn't have written on the day...why? Well because I was dealing with a baby with croup & a 3 year old that was experiencing the stomach flu for the first time. Poor guy woke up around 2 am saying his tummy hurt. He has been saying this a lot to get attention since Goose has joined us so I just told him to go back to be. Well before he could turn around to head back to bed he threw up all over the floor! (Yep, lost the mom of the year award again) I felt horrible! I got him cleaned up, the floor cleaned up, & got him back into bed. A few minutes later while I was nursing he comes out saying his tummy hurts again. I put Goose down quickly which makes him start screaming because I interrupted his eating time, wake up the hubby on the way to the bathroom & try to get Monkey to stand over the toilet. When he didn't throw up I set him to bed with a trash can just in case & went to get my mom. See before we went to bed she offered to help me the next day if I was up all night with Goose. So instead she called into work since she was up all night with Monkey. She was great! She did everything for me. She didn't want me to be around him to much so that I wouldn't get it & I wouldn't pass it on to Goose. So far so good. Monkey has been the only one to get it in our house. We did find out we got it from the library because a friend we were their with came down with it a few hours after Monkey did. So today I'm so thankful for my mom & all the help she offers me on a daily basis but especially for this particular night & day that would have been so draining after having 2 weeks of sickness in our house.

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends hair salon . After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready. Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking. My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park. THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I d
