I can't believe tomorrow is Noah's first birthday. We had his party on Saturday in Michigan at the cottage. It was great! The weather was crummy but we made the best of it. Indoor space was limited but at least all the bodies in the cottage kept it warm! It was nice to see friends and family again on our trip. Noah did really well on his plane trip. On the way up, he slept part of the way from Raleigh to Chicago and then the whole way from Chicago to Grand Rapids. On the way back, he slept the whole way from Grand Rapids to Atlanta and then didn't sleep at all from Atlanta to Raleigh. That last part was a little challenging but he still did well. I think the hardest part about flying with a baby is keeping them entertained during the layover. We have to find an area at the gate to sort of barricade off so that Noah has a little area in which to crawl around. Of course he wants to go everywhere! Ahh, it is definitely an energy drainer.
Anyway, Noah got lots of cute gifts at his party thanks to the generosity of our family and friends. His cake turned out really cute and it was just a $20 cake from the Shop 'n' Save in Beulah, haha. Needless to say, our options were limited but it was fine. I set out "treasure chests" filled with "treasure" (candy... like Paydays, 100 Grands, Ring Pops, Lifesavers, chocolate coins) and hung a little pirate-themed Happy Birthday banner on the porch. It was pretty simple but pretty darn cute. I also made chocolate cupcakes to compliment the cake and put little skull & crossbones picks in them.
I've been feeling pretty good all week and then I get home and throw up everything I ate today (which wasn't a whole lot)! What the heck?! Please let this be the last time. I hate feeling queasy and throwing up. :/ I just made some coffee... hoping that helps to ease my tummy. We finally told everyone about expecting #2. My 12-week checkup is on Wednesday! I have no reason to believe anything is less than perfect, I just hope I haven't lost any weight. I certainly don't feel like I have so I doubt that will be a problem, lol.
Back to work tomorrow (I'm not really that excited... I miss the cottage)!
