Day 1 in Rome

Tuesday, May 8th we dropped Wyatt off at school, mommy cried and daddy wanted to. We got McKinley settled and things dropped off at the lake, and then we hit the road for ATL. 3 hours later we were on a plane and ready to head to Rome.

10 hours later and a 6 hour time change.....

7:30 we arrived in Rome, I didn't sleep much and was a little cranky. Tired and sad about my kiddos. We took a crazy 45 minute ride to our hotel, when is say crazy I do mean crazy. We were siting in the front of this little van and I didn't like being able to see what was going on. It's funny but this is what I really remembered about my last visit to Rome.

10:45 our hotel was ready and I was ready for a nap. I crashed for about an hour but then had to get ready for our tour of the Colosseum. It was a great private walking tour, 3 hour tour to be exact of the Colosseum, the Roman forum and Palatine Hill. I loved it! It was a lot of walking and all in the sun but it was amazing! I am amazed at how you can see seats and marble floor that dates back to 70 AD! some of the stuff in the Roman Forum dated back to B.C. It was great and we both learned alot!

6:30: we headed to dinner with Nancy and Ken. I ate YUMMY pizza and caprese salad. I can't get enough of their yummy pizza.

I am now laying in bed, writing this all down and uploading pics to facebook so that Wyatt can see where mommy and daddy are. We talked to him briefly today and he asked me where I was and said that he missed me but that he didn't want to leave Papa's house! I know they are having a great time but I miss them like crazy! My heart is aching for them and I am really feeling a little depressed right now and really wanting to hold them.

Tomorrow we head out for a tour of the Vatican!

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t...

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si...
