Sick Chicken...And Other Exciting News

Hudson ended up getting sick last Wednesday and it lasted through this past Tuesday. He was miserable! Gross nose, fever, congested cough...not fun. Normally when he is sick you wouldn't even know it because it doesn't slow him down. This time however it came just as he is working on molars, ouch!!! All he wanted to do was sit on the couch and watch TV, which I hate, but made the exception (just look at that face in the picture, so sad). Binks and Lovie made an appearance at any given time during the day, normally they are associated just with sleeping. Again, I made the exception. He wasn't sleeping or eating. I can honestly say, those 6 days were the hardest I have had with him to date. He has always been a very easy kiddo so it was really hard to have him whiny and clingy for so long, especially with my pregnancy hormones having me all out of whack with next to no patience. He is finally on the mend though and we were even able to get to the park yesterday to enjoy the fabulous weather we are having. I was starting to get worried because Ryan has Hudson himself this weekend and I was NOT feeling comfortable leaving him alone with his Daddy in his sick state. Which brings me to the "And Other Exciting News" portion...I'm off to San Diego this weekend to train to be a Stroller Strides Instructor! I am very excited and very nervous all at the same time. I'm going to miss my boys SO much (this is the first time leaving them alone together for so long AND the first time I have left Hudson for more than one night). The opportunity presented itself and the timing is perfect. Sorry in advance to all my So Cal friends that I will not have time to see as I am in training from 8am to 4pm both Saturday and Sunday. I am staying with my friend Mandy though which I am very excited about. We haven't seen each other since September, much longer than we normally go!! Wish me luck as I embark on a new adventure :)
