The past week...the lazy way.

I'm tired these days...must be this "baby in my belly button" as Jackson calls it...or maybe its the combination of the baby & the 2 year old.  I'll go with that one.  So here's my past week, the lazy way:

-Jackson didn't get so lucky.  He got the VERY bad...VERY long version of Hand, Foot, Mouth disease.  On Monday after refusing food, drink, or medicine I decided it was time to head to the hospital.  I was so worried he was getting dehydrated & was worried his fever was going to get to high since he was refusing meds.  We got to the hospital around 7:15 & had to wait about an hour...they ended up giving him fluid & we decided it was best he spend the night.  W,e ended up staying 4 nights.  He was so miserable so they gave him morphine about every 4 hours & magic mouthwash with lidocaine.  Finally on the 4th night he started bouncing off the walls & would drink a little.  His mouth was looking tremendously better, fever was gone & I knew it was time to go before he tore the hospital apart.  We left the next morning.

-We rested at home all day Friday because I wanted to make sure he was really feeling better & drinking/eating as he should at that point.

-Saturday we went here, Zootastic Park.  They were having a thing called Bluegrass & BBQ at the Park (or something like that).  It was fun & HOT.  Jackson did really well.  It was a nice first outing!

Meeting the birds!

Petting the kangaroo

Feeding goats

See this guy?

This is him stealing our animal food & scarfing it down.  We got Jackson another bowl to feed the rest of the animals & he was VERY protective of it after that!

Jackson & our cousin Brooke feeding the cows.

-Sunday we went to my parents neighborhood & went swimming with my parents, Brooke, & some family friends.  I took no pictures because I was swimming the entire time!  We are finally at the point where we don't have to stand beside Jackson or hold him the entire time at the pool.  It's much more relaxing.  As long as there are other people around he is content.  Plus their neighborhood has a baby pool so he likes to get in it & splash all around.  I got BURNT.  I put sunscreen on everywhere (a couple times) except for my legs.  For some reason I had it in my head that I didn't need any on them...well, I DID!  I still got burnt everywhere else too, but not like my legs!  I forget that you are more apt to get sun burn when you're pregnant. 

-Monday, we went to Jerry's parents house & went swimming with his family.  Jackson was only interested in the pool for a few minutes for some reason, but they have a big blow up, water slide that he had fun playing on plus his favorite person ever was there, his cousin Harper.  I made sure to put sunscreen on my legs & didn't get so red :)  

-We had such a nice weekend!  I LOVE long weekends!  Memorial Day is like my first official day of summer.   Its not actually until June, but when you live in the south & already have 90 degree days...its SUMMER!!

We have a fun week planned, hope you do too  :)
