Erin and Missy visited us this weekend.  What a great time we had!  Games of scrabble, raw balls, and ICEE pops all made my stomach hurt with laughs!  Erin gave Max two baths and he didn't scream as badly (with the heater on--ala SAUNA conditions).  We shopped all day Friday, then had all you can eat sushi!  YUM!  And NO, I don't eat eel or lobster or imitation crab--STILL.  Saturday we were bums, correction, I was a bum while Erin and Missy took Max for a long walk.  Then we ran errands while Max hung out with his dad.  They left today with a trip to the Hartford airport.  Max slept from 11-2:45 in the car, then ate, and slept some more!!!  WOW!  Thank you guys soooo much for coming to visit!!!

Emergency Room Adventures

Visit with Mia, Lena, and Leah

Aunt Mia, Lena, and Leah came over this morning for a lovely brunch, then we went to the park.  Lena and I played while Mia held Max.  We had so much fun playing in the sand, ok, fine--Lena was playing in the sand and I watched.  When we returned Lena ate Mac N' Cheese and I took Max's temperature (he had a 100.3 and 100.3 last night, but was normal this morning) and it was 101.2!!!  I called the pediatrician on call and he recommended going to the ER since Max is so little.  Of course when when we got there, he had no fever.  Lou didn't seem worried, but I was, so off we went.  We went back right away and to make a long story short he didn't have a fever the whole time.  After being stuck three times for a blood draw, a catheter, and a bag to collect pee--we're told it's probably just a virus!  The staff was fabulous, and I was glad that we went!

We came home to a tidy house- courtesy of my fabulous friends!  Thank you MIA AND LEAH!!!!  They even washed dishes!    

My first mother's day!

From First Mother's Day

Today we celebrated my first mother's day. Lou was post-call, and not available to celebrate since he needed to sleep after being up all night! Lou was so sweet and sent me tulips yesterday! My favorite! He gave my mom a card for me from Max to give me in the morning, since he wouldn't be here. It was ooey, gooey, mushy--just as I like it! It's been a wonderful mother's day, celebrating with my son and my mom! We had brunch at Ali's with her and her mom. The frittata and pancake rocked!  

I worked most of last week at New Haven Reads. It was great to have mom and issi taking care of Max while I worked. I definitely appreciated my time with him more, when I'm not with him 24 hours a day.  

Thanks for all the mother's day wishes!!!
