We had a rather low key celebration which was perfect for us. Thursday was oxygen delivery day so once that came we headed into my parents house. Dan joined us and we had home made tacos for dinner in my grandma's homemade cornmeal shells. We then all just hung out. Around 11:35 Jillian walked over to my mom, stole her blanket, laid on the floor and went to sleep. As soon as midnight hit we put her in bed and Brent and I went to sleep also.
Sleep has not been my bodies' favorite thing this pregnancy (morning sickness more intense this preganacy, up for a couple of hours most nights just wide awake which did not happen til the very end with Jillian, and baxton-hicks have already started which waited until 25ish weeks with Jilli; I just keep reminding myself it is worth it for this baby and I wont feel this way forever) I was up at 5:30am on New Years Day....
We decided to make it a day to spend with others. We started in Kenosha and drove to Fort Atkinson to visit with Jaime, Jason and Emerson before they headed home from the hospital. Jillian got to hold Emerson again which made her very happy. If you ask Jillian what she is doing in 2016 she will tell you that she is going to Disney World with Emerson. We had to burst her bubble on that one, no Disney trip for us this year, not with me being pregnant and then having a new baby. We keep trying to convince her that she really wants to wait until Emerson and our baby are a little bit older before Disney World. Can't fault the girl for having dreams!
We then drove to Children's to visit Jillian's friend Caroline. She was in for some testing and I know what it is like trying to keep a kiddo entertained when you are there for days for testing when the child otherwise feels fine. Caroline and Jillian had a blast playing play-dough and coloring. These two little girls have many things in common and it is sweet watching them interact. It was nice to catch up with Caroline's mom too. There is just something about friendships with other families who just get our strange world of living at doctors. I met Caroline's mom through this blog and it has been nice forming a friendship over the last year with their family.
We then went to Mayfair to go to Build-A-Bear to use some rewards dollars to make bears for Tubie Friends. I feel so blessed to be able to help bless other families with Tubie Friends.
We then headed back to my parents house in Kenosha.
On Saturday we had a slow morning around my parents. In the afternoon we all went to the Kenosha Public Museum. Its not a big museum but Jilli had fun looking around. She really enjoyed playing in the kids area and putting a puzzle together in the art area.
Today we went to church, grabbed lunch on the way home, then went back to my parents to pack things up. Before we could leave my parents Jillian wanted to play one round of hide an seek. We then headed home and have had a low key afternoon.
