Bleeerrccgh

So I just got back from the old VA. I got to fly out on a last minute ticket to visit the fam for fall break! It was awesome except for the fact that the day before leaving I woke up sick with a small fever. I willed the fever away and took lots of vitamin C and got on a plane the next day with baby elijah. Elijah always travels pretty well so i didnt really have to worry about that. he sleeps then plays with whoever happens to be sitting behind us. He prefers peeking over the top of the chair and getting their attention, then peering in between the chairs and laughing. Its pretty cute.

But anyways in virginia I enjoyed laying around with a mixture of morning sickness nausea and head cold illness while I would occasionally yell out from the couch "wheres elijah?" and would hear a response like, "lizzie's room!" or "maaaahh!" (elijah himself responding) or the dreaded "*clank" in which i would realize someone left the bathroom door open and elijah was either lifting up the toilet lid and sticking his hand in the water or dropping toys into the bathtub.

But I still had energy for fun plans like going apple picking, a trip to the zoo where we found a Julie, and a trip to Busch Gardens where they have a Sesame Street! Elijah loves sesame street.

The whole week was complete with a Lizzie on top. you know, like a cherry. She was so funny with elijah. Sometimes she would try to kiss him, but a lot of the time she would just get angry when she found him playing with one of her toys. Her name for him is "Baby lij" (like baby lijah without the Uh on the end)

All in all it was a great week, the trip back was long but not bad. Unfortunately though upon my return my morning sickness nausea has inevitably (i was hoping it would start tapering off by now but nooo) escalated into full blown "Maybe if i eat this i will feel bet..t..euuuh blllleeeeeerrrcgjh." I had a nice talk with the toilet bowl last night.
oh well i give it three more weeks.

Looking Back... and foreshadowing...

Tony went to visit his family with Elijah while I sat at home and moped about being back in school.

and this was at costco. Cute huh?
