So the silence for the past two weeks has its own explanation... First it started off great, Sunday the 14th, on a family day with my mom and her boyfriend Nate. When we showed up for biscuits and gravy (my mom makes the BEST) we saw a big red easil for Olivia. Right when we entered she ran straight to it. This girl loves to color! It's pretty neat that you can draw on paper on one side and then it is a chalkboard on the other side. This entertained her the whole time we were there.
Now onto what started this cause of silence.. The next day, Monday, Blake was on his way to work like normal. I get a phone call from him and it is past the time he would normally start work. I answered and he didn't sound right. I kept asking are you okay? Are you okay? Finally he responded and said he got into a car accident and was shoken up. I tried to stay calm and ask what I can do, if I should go down there to get him, etc. He needed to just sit it out and get his thoughts together. He was able to drive it back home (thank God) and we got it right into the shop. I'm so tired of being careless and driving while being on the phone!!! This is the second time in a year we have been rearended (first time I was going into labor). I'm so thankful that he wasn't hurt besides a headache. His car has been in the shop now for two weeks.
Later that week Blake's family was coming into town to celebrate his grandpa's 80 birthday! I still can't believe he turned 80, he acts and looks SO young! The day before the big celebration my mother in law, Kellie, invited the grandmas on Blake and mine side plus my mom. For a girls lunch at The Tea Gardens. I've never been but it was so much fun! Although that morning Olivia seemed really off. I figured because her top teeth were coming in it was due to teething. This girl can eat and she had NO apetite for any food. Not even anything to drink really. Which led to that night. After dinner Olivia really wanted a banana. Not a bid deal and plus she really hasn't eaten anything all day. Within 15 minutes she projectile vomit! She threw up back to back for 3 hours! I felt so bad. I tried giving her water and pedalite and she still couldn't keep it down. Luckily she fell asleep fine but I did end up sleeping in her room.
I woke up in a full panic because she was asleep still and it has been 13 hours since she went to bed. I woke her up and she was out of it. She still didn't want food or anything to drink. Within an hour of her being "awake" she wouldn't stay awake for 15 minutes. At that time I rushed her to urgent care. They saw her and took her in right away. I know stomach bugs last 48 hours but she wasn't even there, and I was flat out scared for my child. While the doctor examined her he said she needs IV right away. After 3 kids size bags and a whole bottle of Pedialite, she finally came to. I swear it was day and night difference! She was so dehydrated just in those few hours, I'm glad I didn't hesitate to take her in! I'm happy to say she is fully recovered and no set backs!
With the doctor's approval we still made a short appearance for Blake's grandpa's birthday party. Everyone was so happy to see us and to see our little girl back to normal. The whole time she acted as if it never happened. When they say babies bounce back, they surely mean it! I'm just so happy she is 100 percent back to normal! I never want to go through that again with her. I probably cried more than her!
I feel bad that we didn't really get to hang out with his grandparents for too long but I know they understand. After that weekend of chaos the new week began of balancing either Blake taking my car all day or me driving him back and forth. He had this meeting call "Meet The Firms" where he meets a lot of the big accounting firms and sells himself. That went really well for him! He has even gotten a lot of call backs. I can only say enough how proud of him I am. Such a hard working man, never stops! My week calmed down (thank goodness). Olivia did some shopping with Blake's mom and brother, and we also had a couple play dates.
Speaking of play dates... We met up with my friend Kelli and her daughter Stella, who is only a couple weeks older than Olivia. These girls crack me up! And it is crazy to watch them both grow into wonderful little girls. Now that they can really understand things, and can communicate, they went nuts for the choo choo train. They have never gone alone on a "ride" before and I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried about Olivia actually sitting through it. Surprisingly they did! It was the cutest thing! Going in a circle the girls would wave and smile at us. I can't believe how much they have grown up and so fast.
After a crazy two weeks of a car accident, hospital trip, out of state family visits, and all the other crazy week errands, we are slowing down. So I hope. I've been doing some Halloween crafts that I will be posting soon and it was my moms birthday yesterday that I will be blogging about tomorrow. Sorry that I went so long for those of you who follow. Sometimes, I shouldn't even say sometimes... Life happens and other priorities take place. So here is to getting back on track with the holidays coming up! Also, sorry for the typos since I am doing this on my phone...
