It has been an eventful week here! Last Saturday A and I took N up to visit my college friends in Boston. Unfortunately we couldn't see T, P and their son A because of a stupid disease. I have to say that this is the one part of parenting that I was NOT prepared for....the sickness!! I'm not even having to go through it, but I can't imagine being T right now and handling it. A got Hand, Foot and Mouth disease at daycare. He was pretty much over it by the time we were coming up but T (yes, his mom) got it! I didn't know adults could get it and because she still was contagious, we couldn't see any of them. It totally sucked because we were looking forward to getting A and N together. Our little boys have never met and I haven't seen A in forever. Hopefully we can find some time in the next month or so to get back up there and get the little ones together!
Despite the H, F &M disease issue, we had a great time visiting everyone. I got to see S who is 20 weeks pregnant now!! She looks so freaking adorable with her little baby bump. It almost makes me miss mine. Almost. Visiting makes me miss them all so much more! I miss having friends nearby that I can visit with and vent to. I am very lucky though to have the friends I have, near or far.
So that was the visiting part and as much as I LOVED visiting everyone in Boston, I'm even happier that my parents came to visit us this week! Right now they are visiting other friends in the area but they drove up Sunday from SC and were here Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday we visited my grandmother up in Hartford. She just turned 93 and is doing great! I just wish we could get her to stop driving... Anyway, she is doing well, which is wonderful and she loved seeing N. It's been great having my mom and dad around because I miss them so much. They are coming back tomorrow to stay until Sunday morning when they will drive back. It makes me sad that they can't see N more often, but I swear he recognizes them from when we were there over Christmas. He's constantly laughing at my Dad and loves playing with and snuggling with my Mom. It makes me so happy to see them with him.
That's the reason I have been MIA lately though, so much visiting going on I had to take a break from my online social life. I promise I'll be back though, whether that's a happy or sad thing I'm not sure. For now I'm just going to enjoy my family and I'll see you guys when I see you!
