We flew down to Phoenix to visit Mimi and Papa Jim for Easter weekend.
We almost didn't make the trip when we all came down the stomach flu, though.
Braxton woke up puking Tuesday night, and after throwing up several times and having a tummy ache all night, I stayed home with him all day Wednesday. Luckily I did most of the packing on Wednesday night because I woke up puking on Thursday morning. I sent Braxton to daycare thinking I'd be functional by the time our flight left that afternoon. When it was time to leave, I could barely walk and we debated calling it off but decided to go for it.
We were running so late we paid to valet the car IN the parking garage ($30/day...YIKES!) and had a skycap take me in a wheelchair to check in while Brian wrangled the bags and the baby. We barely made it to our gate to board, then I spent the entire flight keeled over while Brian tried to stay somewhat awake holding the baby (he takes Dramamine for his motion sickness and it knocks him out). Luckily we sat next to a nice lady who played with Braxton most of the flight and thankfully he was good. I'm sure we looked like parents of the year.
Although we didn't get to do a lot of the fun things/dates we had planned, it was nice to have my parents watch the baby while we slept and laid around recovering all weekend (Brian caught the bug Thursday night). We did get to squeeze in going to see the Hunger Games movie and lay out by the pool.... definitely making springtime trips to Phoenix (and the incredible weather) a tradition.
Sometimes I can't believe he's really all mine... man, I love this boy!!
Swimming: day 2
Braxton's first time swimming!!! He wasn't sure what to think. He didn't love it, but he didn't NOT like it.
