Life Lately

Oh boy... it's been a doozy around here for the past couple of weeks. After two stomach bugs, an emergency eye doctor visit, and an epic toddler meltdown (our first in public - that was interesting!) followed by an epic pregnant mommy meltdown, I think it's safe to say we have turned a corner. :) YAY!

I won't go back so far as to recap our Valentine's Day weekend since it seems so far behind us now, but I will share this picture. We have taken the same photo with Carrie and our pup every year since C was born on Valentine's Day and it's so. crazy. to see how much she's grown. Look how big she is on my lap! Layla, on the other hand, doesn't age. ;) 

On President's Day C came down with a fierce stomach bug just in time for us to be rushing to an emergency eye doctor appointment because I had suddenly lost most of my vision in my left eye. Steve and I were worried about physical eye problems, as well as potential pregnancy complications, so we made an emergency appointment and in the car on the way C began to lose her breakfast. And anything else she had in her stomach. Yikes. I felt so terrible for dragging her out when she clearly needed to be home! The good news is, my eyes are fine and so is the baby. The doctor thinks I experienced an Ocular aka "Silent" Migraine.

C was feeling like herself by Tuesday evening and the week was going along normally until I got hit with stomach bug symptoms Friday night. I was supposed to leave for one of my dear friend's bachelorette parties the next day, and after being up all night I had to call and cancel. :( Winter germs... you can go away! Thanks. 

By Sunday I felt so much better and the weather was unseasonably warm, so we were able to sneak C out to the park, which felt amazing! Does anyone else feel like they just become a better, happier version of themselves when it's warm out and you're able to get out in the world? I can't wait until this is our every day! 

Yesterday we had our 20 week ultrasound and doctor appointment for our sweet littlest, and she received an A+ report card -- everything looks perfect! As usual, she was moving like crazy and her little hands were balled up by her face. We love her so much already. I plan to post a 20 week pregnancy update this week... I can't believe we're more than halfway there!
