California trip











OOps! Forgot to rotate some pictures. Oh well. These are a bunch of pics from our trip to cali to visit Nathan's family. We had a really good time except I was so so sick the whole time. ugh. Nathan was really sweet on the flights to and from he held Alex like the whole entire time. Alex did amazing on the flights. Especially on the way back. We had these tvs on the backs of the seats in front of us. You just scan your card there for like five dollars and watch whatever is on. We thought five dollars was worth it to entertain Alex for us. He just watched cartoons or slept.
The first day we got there we went over to Nathan's mom's house to say hi for a while and take naps. Then, we went over to see Nathan's dad play softball. I went to bed early every night we were out there. The second day we just kind of took it easy at his dad's. That was nice. Nathan's brother Mike and his wife Melissa came over that night and we all ate dinner. Alex seems to love his uncles. He thought Mike was really cool! They stayed up and learned how to play craps and I went to bed. The next morning we went to church with his mom, Mike, and Melissa. Then, we went to see Iron Man while his mom and Roger were getting ready for the shindig that night. Awesome movie by the way! When we got back about a million people came over to see us and Alex and throw a little bday party for the goob. I was pretty exhausted and tired of socializing by the end of the night. The next day we went out to the airport Nathan learned how to fly at and to this park right next to it. That was pretty fun. Then, that night we went to a KT Tunstall concert. Uber cool! Except I got really car sick on the drive down there and the vibrations from the concert made me really sick too. I just couldn't enjoy things like I wanted to. Panda Express even grossed me out. Oh, I got my days mixed up. Monday morning we went out to breakfast with Roger's parents and Tuesday we went to the airport. Then, tuesday afternoon we went to see Baby Mama. That's another funny one. That night we went over to his Dad's so Alex could open his presents from them. We played some black jack and then went back to his mom's to sleep. Then, Wednesday morning we got up and got ready to go. It was a pretty busy trip and always seems like I need a couple days to recover after we get back.

I did a lot of sleeping on the trip and it didn't even seem like I was getting enough. I'm well into the whole pregnancy sickness thing and it's no fun. It seems to be just like when I was pregnant with Alex though. So that's good. Except that I'm already down to like 120. Having the stomach flu didn't help. Right now I'm seven weeks along. I have my eight week appointment on Monday and another sonogram on tuesday.

Tomorrow we're going to the farm for Alex's and Dad's bday. Should be fun!
