Some may consider this post a photo dump... but I'll add commentary as well so I can remember all these events. I sure hope life decides to calm down a bit before Baby Cookie arrives... I could use some quiet days.
I sure did miss these fur-babies while we were out of town! More on that out of town part in another post or two...
I love when I'm able to get them both in the same photo.
Hospital stay #? Who knows anymore. I was admitted for pyelonephritis, which is a kidney infection. No good. They kept me overnight and pumped lots of fluids and antibiotics into me.
While I was stuck in the hospital, it was National Hug Your Cat Day. I was super bummed, so I told Dan to hug the kitties for me when he got home. This is the photo I got... nice try, babe. It's the thought that counts, right? :)
One night, we went out for custard... and I thought, "let's bring Smudge along"... so glad we did because they had a dogwich on their menu! It was frozen custard between two dog biscuits. He loved it.
We went to the Strawberry Festival in Troy, OH... but the best part was taking a photo with Babe Lincoln!
Stormy climbs Mt. Janelle every day. She loves her baby.
My handsome husband ran his first half marathon! And the lucky guy wasn't even sore afterward - he even mowed our yard that day!
These two... staring at an airplane. She's such a daddy's girl.
On the 4th of July, we made patriotic French toast. It was SO delicious.
And then we spent the rest of the holiday weekend sanding and painting furniture for Baby Cookie's room.
I wore my respirator (Walter White style, yo) because of my asthma... and so Baby Cookie didn't have to get all the fumes either.
No caption needed. :)
We celebrated Tyler's second birthday with him, and we had so much fun! He is such a little character, and we love seeing him so often.
After flying, I was super sick... again. I had an ear and sinus infection, so I loaded up on juice since I can't take many meds right now.
Dan and I have started (and almost finished now) a six week Lamaze class through our Air Force Base hospital... it's 2.5 hours each Wednesday night, but we're learning a lot. This is after the first class when we deserved 1/2 price shakes for having to watch a live birth on TV without any warning.
The MLB All Star Game was in Cincinnati this year, which happens to be only an hour away from us! Groupon was so nice and offered a big discount for the Fan Fest... so we went! It was a lot of fun, and we got to pose with the world's biggest baseball.
And I got to hold one of Cal Ripken Jr.'s old bats, which was pretty sweet.
Gilligan likes exactly TWO human foods: ice cream and peaches. When I had peach ice cream, the guy went nuts. I can't blame him, though.
Stormy is always laying on her baby. She's going to be so confused when Baby Cookie doesn't have whiskers or a tail...
Smudge is the goofiest dog in the world. This is his "I'm so happy after a walk" face.
Due to my sinus infection, I was actually admitted during a routine appointment with the pulmonologist. I was wheezing too much for their liking, so they hooked me up to an IV with some meds to open up my lungs. It worked, but I had a slight allergic reaction, so what should have taken 30 minutes actually ended up taking 2.5 hours because they had to dilute the medicine with saline and drip it super slowly into me. I'm all better now, though!
We keep catching Stormy sleeping on the changing pad. In her defense, it does look like a cat bed... and here's a tiny sneak peek at Baby Cookie's room!
I made these cherry lemonade cupcakes for our Ohio baby shower that a couple good friends threw for us... more on that later!
Has your life been crazy lately too?
Have you done anything fun?
