Last week was one of those weeks...a full blown roller coaster. Luckily we were strapped in tight and rode it out.
I'll start with the not so sweet moments since it's always nice to have a happy ending.
For starters I came home from Virginia with a solid start to the cold Nick had the previous week. Sore throat, cough...yuck. I blamed Nick for my miserable state all week...poor guy, but hey, I'm pregnant so I get to blame someone else! This progressively got worse as the week went on, but I called the drs office on Tuesday to see what meds I was allowed to take...mucinex, cough drops, and vitamin C tablets were my defenses. Then I had an appointment on Thursday and my Dr was nice enough to tell me that I could take Robitussin...praise be...it's what finally got rid of my congested cough and sore throat! Gotta love a laid back doctor who allows you to take some meds since you're miserable and in your 3rd trimester!
I am now caught up on sleep and feeling so much better :)
Secondly Cole fell sick...if anyone knows what it's like to have a sick dog...or be "sick as a dog"...its no joke. Starting Monday evening and going into Thursday we had to take him outside every 2 hours like clockwork...that means Monday and Tuesday night were dreadful. He must have really wanted to prep us for the new baby. He couldn't keep anything down or in...too much detail?? So sad...and normally I can pinpoint a cause but for the life of me could not figure out what he could've eaten. No toys were missing or destroyed, nothing in the house was awry...I walked him Monday and never saw him eat anything outside. Finally a vet visit was made on Wednesday which proved inconclusive so it seems he just caught a bug. I felt so bad for him, but since I was feeling sick too, it was really Nick who took the brunt of it.
Cole recovered around Thursday / Friday in time for us to drop him off in Delaware with my mother in law for the weekend.
Lastly my car was sick. The AC broke and I got it fixed, but came home with a LOUD squeaky rattle. Never good to come home from the shop and have to take it back in again. PLUS a small crack caused by a rock turned into a huge long crack...I would love to be the winner of a new car right now. Know any contests? The rattle got repaired free of charge (booyah!) today and the windshield is being replaced Friday...sigh.
Now amongst all this...we were leaving town for a long weekend for a wedding of some of our close friends...this is where the good things start...
One of my best friends had her baby girl on her due date, Monday June 4th! Sophie Lynn Peddicord arrived pretty smoothly and is just a precious little bundle. Great job Tray - congrats again to you guys :)
Tuesday was our 2nd year anniversary! Somehow I put my cough away and we got a neighbor to let out Cole so that we could keep our plans to celebrate in NYC for the night. We've been wanting to try Mario Batali's restaurant in the West Village, Babbo since we moved to NY, but it is one hard reservation to get! They only take reservations a month in advance and even if you call (like Nick did) exactly a month in advance there are people who have called before you so times are limited! crazy. But we got a table and loved it. I really want to go back when I can drink wine because they had a tasting menu with a different wine pairing for each course....uhhh, awesome! In the meantime delicious bread, pasta and veggies did the trick :)
buffalo mozzarella with squash and zucchini
nick had black spaghetti! risky.
happy...in the West Village at Babbo!
That night Nick surprised me with tickets to see Wicked on Broadway too! I've been dying to see it and he really wanted to see it too...so he splurged. It is a FABULOUS show...singing is amazing, dancing is fantastic, the set is phenomenal and so are the costumes. We both said it was the best Broadway show we've seen. The main character, the Wicked Witch was amazing...her voice was impeccable. The set was so cool and the costumes and dancing were just fantastic. I also really loved how they tied in the story Oz, but didn't show any part of the "Wizard of the Oz". Such great writing.
cool set.
Wicked!
Happy 2nd Anniversary!
29 weeks in Times Square!
Finally the end of the week came and we made it down to Washington DC to see our friends Natalie and Trace get married! They are such great friends of ours...Trace and Nick were friends at Virginia Tech and Natalie and I LOVE hanging out together. We've taken trips together and try to visit whenever possible. One day we plan to all live in the same neighborhood...don't disappoint, Nat! ;) They are truly one of those couples that everyone was so happy to see get married...they were best friends in high school, started dating between VT and JMU in college and now live in Boston...their relationship spans 14 years! Their wedding was a blast...Nick was a groomsmen and looked handsome, I put together my best maternity wear and we had a great weekend. It was so fun to see a lot of friends we hadn't seen in a while and to be in DC....Baby G and I danced the whole reception with a few breaks for water and the candy bar...obviously. Congrats again to Trace and Natalie!
yay! Natalie was a GORGEOUS bride.
wish this was a full length shot b/c I had navy blue snakeskin 3" heels on! They lasted a while...till flip flops :)
