grilling waffles. milkshakes. and mom life. #notgrillingmilkshakessilly

wow
all I have to say is...wow

no one likes to be sick.  
5 days!
ugh!
there should be a law that moms can't get sick.
I mean, growing up my mom always said "moms don't have germs." And I only remember her getting sick once! 
once! my whole growing up life.
#oksheissupermom #sheprobablywassickmore #andjustdidntshowit

I remember once during this 5 day period when eli was asleep and i just watched a spider climb along the ceiling without getting up to kill it. That's when I was like, "I know i'm pretty sick to do nothing about that spider." haha


Ok, back to my life...Eli was sick 2 of those days with me, and luckily he sleeps more when he is sick! Seriously, one day a 4 hr nap, that night 13 hrs (I had to go check on him to make sure he was alive still and woke him up). 2 hrs later he fell asleep on my bed for another 4 hr nap! crazy. 

So, I didn't even get him dressed all day...well, of course I didn't get dressed either, I am sure I was in the same clothes 3 days in a row when nate got home again, but this time I had a way better excuse!
Anyway, when nate got home he took eli outside to go on a walk and this is what pjs look like with a jacket and shoes on top, haha.



So, i enjoyed those days! The next day. He was his normal toddler self, and I was still wanting to lay there and die #basically #oknotreally #saidfordramaticeffect. Good thing Nate could cancel his night life and stay at home at with me.

Ok, nate doesnt have that kind of night life, I mean like home teaching, scouts and such, haha. 

So, today i woke up and was like: my stomach is feeling normal!!!! woohoo!
So what was the first thing i did after visiting teaching this morning???? yep, straight to get a strawberry milkshake. I blame it on commercials! Seriously, I was watching all these episodes of 19 kids and counting whilst laying in bed moaning #mynewdirtypleasure #wellnotsodirty #itsactuallyprettyclean #justthatishouldntwatchtvsomuch

anyway, i was watching these episodes online and they had the same 3 commercials come up every 10 mins, and one of them was for dairy queen's new blizzard menu...and although i wanted to throw up thinking about eating one right then, I knew my first stop when i felt better was milkshake!!! I wanted one so badly, I almost left the house solely just to get one even though it would have made me so sick...but i held off. 

then my doula came over today to have a fun little chat with me to prepare for the natural birth of our little one...and she brought me a sandwich. After she left i inhaled it...then inhaled the pizza nate had left over from dinner last night.
#seriously

************
enough with the pity party. 
I was looking on my phone and realized I have this funny picture to go with a funny story from last saturday.

So, saturday morning I woke up and said to myself:
"self, I want to make this the best day for Nate and Eli."

So, what did I do? I went out and made Nate his favorite: waffles.



ok, not looking like normal waffles?
prob wondering why I am grilling the waffles instead of putting them in the waffle iron.

Well, my wonderful brain forgot to read everything in the instructions, and I had one cup left of the mix...but I put in enough liquid for 2 cups.
um...that makes for really runny, really weird waffles that don't turn out.
so, nate woke up and was like, lets just grill it since the waffle iron isnt cooking it...and then add flour and make pancakes. So we did, and they became too thick. So then since the middle wasnt cooking, we cut the pancakes in half and grilled them that way. So we had one waffle that was really thin and greasy.
and 4 pancakes that had to be cut in half and charred that way.


but...nate was very grateful for my thoughtfulness! and he didn't even care that he had to come and help me finish everything because my prego body got too tired to finish. haha #lifeofapregnantlady #wishmybrainworked #andmybodyforthatmatter #goodthingnateissonice


on another fun note:
So, you know when you are so proud of your son that he is learning new things. I love that I can tell Eli to do something and he understand almost anything I ask him to do. So, I take advantage of that and ask him to throw things away. pretty sure he's gotten really good at it...but pretty sure we have lost lots of stuff lately and that Eli is now just throwing it away, and I mean, I can't just check the garbage every 10 mins to see if he threw something away, ya know?

K, but seriously. I am loving this mom stuff. 
Eli is seriously the cutest and he makes my heart smile all the time!
He is learning so many new words.
We basically have full conversations now

Here he is with Nate at a museum the other day, so excited to see the "burh"



Well,

glad to be back!
I missed chatting with ya'll each day.
hopefully I won't be out for that long again!
