A Sick Little Boy and Celebrating Birthdays with the Fam

By Courtney 40 Comments

Well, I think this past weekend is the first weekend in a long time where, save for a quick dinner out with the fam, it just was not a great one.

Our poor babe started showing signs of a cold on Friday and when I picked him up from daycare that afternoon, it was clear that he had definitely caught what the rest of the boys in his daycare already had. He always seems to be the last one to catch whatever is going around, always leaving me hopeful that maybe we missed it.

Not this time. So me, Jay, and Mr. Sick Eyes spent a lot of time this weekend laying low and wiping boogery noses. Unfortunately, we also had to cancel on not one, but two sets of plans to get together with friends, which was a major bummer. But in the end, with the holidays coming, I really didn’t want to bring him around a bunch of other kids and have them be exposed as well.

Especially since he treated us to a lovely surprise of puking all over his crib, and then on me…twice…on Saturday night. Thankfully, we don’t think it was/is a stomach bug, but rather more of a reaction to his extreme post-nasal drip and coughing fits. Then again, we’re not doctors so who knows…all I do know is that it was just awful to see him like that. We had lots of snuggles in his chair that night and he wound up going to bed late but still ended up getting some solid sleep so I was glad for that. Mommy on the other hand? Waking up every hour watching the monitor or checking on him. Oh, parenthood.

On the bright side, there was no more puking after the Saturday night incident, and I did get a ton accomplished on my day off on Friday, including some Christmas and birthday shopping,

a huge haul at BJ’s (gotta stock up on that TP and paper towels every now and then!), and some more cookie baking.

I also, FINALLY, found myself a new winter coat. After trying on what seemed like a hundred of them, the winner was this Laundry by Shelli Segal Belted Military Wool-Blend Coat.

IMG_9314IMG_9315

It was on super sale and, with a $100 gift card I had, I only wound up spending $45 for it. #winning

The weekend also included a nice dinner out with the fam to celebrate my dad’s birthday (this coming Wednesday) and my brother’s birthday (yesterday).

IMG_9323IMG_9326

We went to one of our favorites, The Redfront, for their COB pizza like we have in years past. Dinners out with this boy are certainly anything but relaxing, but it’s still always nice to be out with the fam.

Dinner consisted of pizza. Lots and lots of COB pizza (cheese on bottom, FYI).

IMG_9330

And it was so darn delicious. Oh, and it is also what Lucas ate for dinner that night…’nuff said.

So that pretty much covers our weekend! Hopefully within the next couple of days we’ll all be germ free and back to normal. But for now, we’re just plowing through it. Before I go for today, I’ll leave you all with a fun little photo montage I put together for my brother yesterday on his birthday.

Look at that little porker! Happy Birthday, Dan! Winking smile

How was YOUR weekend? Anything fun or exciting happening??

    The cookies just took me back to the 80s. We use to have those specific cookies and I'm not sure if they were store bought or made but wow...memories. I love that coat and it was a crazy good deal.

    Poor Lucas!!! I hope he's feeling better. We have had 4-5 puking sessions in the last week (mainly B) from post nasal drip and coughing because of it. I don't think she's even sick though - I think it is from all those teeth she's popping out!

    Hope Lucas is feeling better. Those cookies look amazing. Do you freeze your cookies? I always wait until the last minute because I'm always afraid of them going stale before Christmas. What are your tricks? Any suggestions? Do you have a favorite butter cookie recipe? I'm always on the hunt for cookie recipes that taste just like the bakery ones.

      December 15, 2014 at 8:48 pm

      Yep, I freeze them! I typically put them in plastic containers or gallon bags. I've done it this way for years and have never had an issue with them going bad. I typically take them out a day or two before I'm going to make up my trays, etc. and it's super easy! By butter cookie recipe, do you mean the Spritz ones like I made in the post? If so, this is the recipe I use: http://www.wilton.com/recipe/Classic-Spritz-Cookies

    Poor Lucas! Hope he feels better. It amazes me how things such as being puked on are just part of life as a parent and it's the only person I'd ever give a free pass to do so. Ha! Love the coat, too! What a great deal!

    Hey Courtney! I'm so sorry to hear Lucas is sick, but know that a vomit here and there with a viral cold is extremely common! My son has it every time he gets sick! Other common symptoms of a cold (which is viral) is extremely high fever and rashes (especially on the cheeks) all of which resolve in about 48 hours. Keep healthy! :)

    Poor little Lucas. 'Tis the season for all those nasty colds and sicknesses. No fun! At least he's building up those immunities, eh? (That's what I always tell myself to try to make it a little better... Ha.) That pizza sure looks yummmmy!

    I'm sure your friends appreciated you not bringing around a sick kiddo...even if it was a bummer to not have you there. :) Last night I took the kids walking around our neighborhood to look at lights. We've done this for years in the stroller and this is the first year w/o the stroller (sad..) and they just walked. It is SUCH a highlight even if we walk around the same houses each time (we do it 4-5 nights per season). I think it's just exiting to get all bundled up and walk around at night. :)

      It's AMAZING. Totally different from regular pizza though - we often get hankerings for only that pizza. It's a MUST try if you have anything like it near you!!
