Too much to type

I'll post a whole bunch of pictures and videos etc., some other time

Quick bullet points:

- I passed a Kidney Stone on Friday morning. Matt got the flu on Friday morning as well so both of us were sitting on the bathroom floor in the wee hours in pain and sick, pretty sad sight. We bummed around a slept the rest of the day, right after I passed a stone I got a kidney infection so I am STILL on tons of drugs.
- Saturday we went bowling and had chocolate chip cookie dough brownies and Ice cream at my grandparents house AND watched a bunch of basketball AND went disc golfing.
- Sunday Kristin and Will came over for dinner, Kristin made me yummy birthday dinner.
- Monday (my actual birthday) was one crappy morning (Blood Glucose Test at the doctors, the drink wasn't bad, but when they drew my blood one arm stopped giving so they had to go to the other/tons of snow/ Car trouble/lack of sleep/more pain from infections, blah, blah, until we went to dinner with Suzanne and Preston then the rest of the evening was nice.

My doctor was pretty shocked that I didn't end up in the hospital for a couple days, in fact he told me he kept calling the hospital about every hour seeing if I had checked in yet so he could go up there to take care of me. HA I showed him... uh yeah I don't know if that was too smart considering I am still dealing with it all... hind sight says the morphine/hospital option may have been better, more expensive but maybe I would be 100% by now.

Back Pain Solution...Loratab

Note to self when your back hurts really bad, specifically on the right side around the Kidney area...it just might be kidney stones.

Yep, the pain hit about a level 9 while at work at the Main Office in SLC today. I started sweating and was about to puke when A co-worker suggested he drive me to the doctors about 30 minutes away. Matt and I car pooled this morning and I was in no state to drive, so I agreed. My car was still in SLC so another co-worker drove my car home for me. Thanks Ben, that was VERY kind of you! (I live about 40 minutes away from the Main Office)

I e-mailed Matt from my co-workers Iphone while on the way to call me ASAP. Also, I called ahead to the doctors while driving there and they still had me wait for about an hour (maybe less but it seemed that long) before a nurse even talked to me, but it wasn't them calling me back it was me walking back and saying "If I don't lie down I'm going to throw up". By the time the doctor got in to see me and realized it was a kidney stone he was ready to shoot me up with morphine and send me to the hospital. Yeah I was at a maxed out 10 at that point. That is the most pain I think a human being can suffer... The doctor really wanted a urine sample to rule out a kidney infection but I couldn't go I was so sick...I opted out of the morphine and the hospital "option" so he gave me a prescription for Loratab and some strong antibiotics and sent me on my way with a STRONG suggestion to still go to the hospital. Good news is the doctor said that passing a kidney stone is more painful then delivering a baby so if I can handle this pain I can handle delivery... oh what a comfort.

I still hadn't gotten a hold of Matt at this point so my co-worker drove me from the doctors to Smith's to get my prescription and take me home. My co-worker was with me for about 3 hours driving me all around the valley while I was in CRAZY amounts of pain. THANKS JARED YOU'RE LITERALLY A LIFE SAVER!

Now I am on Loratab and it's taking care of most of the pain but at this point it's just a waiting game until it passes. Oh joy, I hope this NEVER happens again. I thought I was about to die, not kidding. I finally talked to Matt after picking up my prescription and he left work right away caught the bus to the church down the street and ran the rest of the way home. He checked on me then went straight to the store to buy some cranberry juice and lots of water for me to chug. I guess that's what you do try and flush out the stone.

Through it all I still had somewhat of a sense of humor because this is all I could think of the whole time. Femur bone and Kidney stones... maybe they are on the same level... :)

Tylenol...not a good idea

So this morning I was working from home waiting for the snow to let up and around 11 I decided I should get the the office. While I was getting ready to go my back started hurting, not muscle hurting but "girl time" hurting. I thought "weird... hasn't done that in a long time." Then it started hurting worse so I decided to take some Tylenol. These decisions don't come lightly, drugs do funny things to me. So I took half a dose and sat down for a little bit because it was REALLY hurting by that point and I was starting to get sick to my stomach, next thing I know, 4 hours later I wake up on the couch. Guess who was supposed to be working and had 5 voice mails wondering what was going on? Yeah me...my back is still sore but not hurting like it was and my abs feel like I did a LONG hard ab work out. WEIRD right? Like I said drugs do funny things to me. I woke up totally freaked out but thought only a few minutes had gone by. I was so wrong!

I hurried and got to work at 3:30 or so good thing I have an AWESOME boss said "oh you decided to take a four hour nap huh... I wish I did that today" and that's all that was said. Whew, needless to say I have a bit of work to catch up on and it's going to be a late night.

I didnt think it would be this early...

So I still have just over 11 weeks to go and I am all ready... done. That's a problem!

Nothing fits, but I don't want to go shopping for anything. I am SO tired of not sleeping on my stomach. This weight gain is really starting to take a toll on my back, it ALWAYS hurts now. I get really hot REALLY fast and sweat like crazy. I can barely breathe and have to make a conscience effort to breathe DEEP before I say something or else I have to stop mid sentence to inhale. I am tired of not running and exercising REALLY hard and as of Friday at the Men's Volleyball game my feet started to swell a titch from standing too long! WHAT!?

11 weeks seem like an eternity and I know with this attitude Ty is going to be late! NOT that I am hoping he comes too early but maybe 9 weeks instead of 11 sound better? I swear right now my belly is going to explode every evening and it is so uncomfortable. No matter which way I sit there is a foot on one side or the other that is jammed in my ribs. So I lie down, but if I lie down I'll fall asleep in seconds because I don't sleep at night! The worst part is there is nothing that anyone can do about it... I just need a change of attitude.


I know, I know, I shouldn't complain because again I have had one of the easiest pregnancies on the planet and I have avoided the dreaded stretch marks thus far... I am just getting impatient for selfish reasons! I need to figure something out to take my mind off this situation or this is going to be a REALLY LONG 11 weeks!


p.s. Don't think I am ungrateful for the little one I have because I honestly thank my Father in heaven for him constantly and I know others aren't as lucky. I just needed to vent a tiny bit about how miserable pregnancy is, it's no walk in the park...

Perk of the Job?

Pretty sure today and tomorrow I will work from home.... and I'll have CBS on the WHOLE time. It's March people, March MADNESS! Yeehaw Go Cougs! Maybe we can make it passed the 1st round this time? Oh wait I am watching the game right now... hmm it's doubtful.

Oh and yesterday I bought a box of diapers to make some baby shower gifts for 2 of my friends, HOLY MOLY those things are spendy! I think I am in for an awakening of how expensive little tykes can be.

Commercial

A friend sent me this commercial to me through e-mail. It reminded me of Matt. He all ready fights off monsters with Jason, it's just a matter of time before he's fighting off pirates or "red coats" in this case with Ty. :)

Brothers Weekend

Way too many details, I'll just do bullet points. Matt saw all of his brothers this weekend, all at different times! I should have taken many more pictures...

FRIDAY:

-Matt and I listened to the BYU vs. SDSU game and we lost. BUMMER

-Jordan and Michaela drove down from Rexburg so they could fly out on Saturday morning to Modesto for Michaela's brothers wedding.

-I started one of the 3 pies with Michaela (Chocolate Truffle) while the boys went to go buy bullets

-We all stayed up WAY too late chatting (2 am?)

-Braden come down as well for a friends birthday party

SATURDAY (PI DAY):

-Braden, Ryan and Matt went shooting at 6 am, they never shot a rabbit but Matt said one ran under the car while they were driving out.

-They tried jumping on a moving train (I wont go into much detail on that)

-I dropped Jordan and Michaela off at the Airport around 10 am

-The boys were home when I got back and looking at plans for a work bench.

-I made a homemade pumpkin pie

-Braden went to his friends place

-Matt went to Lowe's and bought wood

-We went to THE PIE PIZZERIA for lunch and had a "Hawaii Pie-O" and a Pepperoni and Sausage pizza

-Suzanne and Preston met us there and they had a BBQ chicken pizza

-We went home and spent the rest of the afternoon (more like Matt while I watched) building his work bench in the garage.

-I made a cheesecake

-Matt finished his work bench, I finished the chocolate truffle pie

- Matt, Ryan and I went over to Suzanne's house where Will, Suzanne and Preston were waiting for some yummy pie

- Pie night had some funny conversation considering Matt only had about 3 hours of sleep, Ryan had 1 or so and Will (flying back from Hong Kong) hadn't slept in 26 hours.

SUNDAY:

-Braden left in the morning

-Matt and I went to church

-We went down to Orem and picked up Nate

-We came home and ate more pie

-Matt and Nate hung out and chatted while I napped

-I made dinner (homemade fettuccine noodles Kristin!)

-Matt built a tiny staircase out of wood with Nate then crushed it with his fist (it took him a few hours to build, seconds to destroy)
-We watched "Far and Away" in honor of the upcoming St. Patrick's day :)

MONDAY:

-Nate left this morning with Jordan and Michaela's Jeep to pick them up and go home.

GARAGE BEFORE:

IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING:GARAGE AFTER:HAPPY IT'S DONE: (it only took 4-6 hours!)PIES! CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE, STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE, PUMPKIN:

BONUS VIDEO: (this is what brothers do to one another)

Explaination: At dinner I told Matt that I knew what he was thinking, then Matt said leaned over and whispered "I dont like this Cat, She reads minds" I asked him where that came from and he said it was on Ice Age. Nate then chimed in and said "I know that line, Sid the Sloth doesnt say Cat, he says Guy." So ofcourse a bet was involved.

Pi Day

Pi Day, it is a beloved holiday in our family. I thought that I would remind you why Pi is so handy. Don't know the Circumference of a circle but you DO know the Diameter? Just multiply pi by that diameter and voila! You have your answer.

Don't know the area of your circle but you do know the radius? Multiply your radius squared by pi and VOILA you have your area!

3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37510

It's a magic number!

Why do I bring this up on this lovely day in March you ask? Tomorrow is March 14Th, 3.14! So in celebration of this day we make PIE and get together to celebrate! Why not right? It's a perfect teaching opportunity for little ones too!

Tomorrow I am making a plain cheesecake and I'll have strawberry syrup and fresh strawberries to go on top, a pumpkin pie (for Matt), and the verdict is still up on the third one I am making. Suzanne is going to make a dessert peach pizza.

Also, new to us this year here in Utah is a restaurant named "The Pie Pizzeria" who uses the symbol pi as their logo. So lunch it is, 3.14, 1:59, at the Pie, then later in the evening we will eat our pies. (We really aren't waiting until 1:59 to eat, but I bet we'll be there during that time anyways)

It's a fun excuse to eat some good food and hang out with friends and family. Won't all of you out there in blogger land eat some PIE or at least some PIZZA tomorrow in celebration too? Happy Pi day! :)

Lil' Spence

Last night the Young Women at church had a little baby shower for 4 of us pregnant women. It was very cute. One of the girls brought a chocolate cake from "Nothing 'Bundt' Cake" in Sandy.

I'll admit it, I didn't eat anything for dinner and I had a slice of this cake. It was SO good but made me SO SICK. I don't eat chocolate much and to have such a rich piece of cake on an empty stomach not such a good idea. It was VERY good while I ate it though. :)

They also gave each of us little gifts for our kiddos. Ty has another little onesie now, isn't it so cute! It was a fun little party to attend :)

True Blue Conversion

Last night after Matt got home from Pick-up Basketball he scanned the channels and started watching a BYU Men's Basketball game re-run from a couple weeks ago. I thought it would be a "good for now until I find something else" channel but it wasn't. He really did want to watch it! We both knew BYU won the game so I am chatting away talking about the day and Matt was THOROUGHLY engrossed in the game. I got the hint and we watched most of the game. At about 17 seconds left, and about 12 midnight, Matt said "Wyoming you are loosing by 10 you're really going to call a time out and drag it on?" I got a chuckle and I said to myself "I can't believe I am watching this, I listened to it the first time around I know who wins and I am so tired!" (Daylight savings really hosed me this time) So I headed upstairs to shower and Matt was up shortly after. I said "Did you really want to watch that whole game?" He said "Yeah I knew they won I just hadn't seen it yet"

I am pretty positive a True Blue conversion has taken place. (Not that there was any resistance to this conversion) But it has taken a few years. You know when you are staying up passed your normal bedtime on a school night to watch a re-run of a game 3 weeks ago that you all ready know the outcome to, you are a True Blue Cougar fan.

Congrats to Jimmer for being the only guy that is NOT a senior to make 1st team all MWC and Lee for a great career and his listing as well on the 1st team all MWC. Lets hope we can do a TINY something in the post season at the big dance. Bring on March Madness and Go Cougs!

Ty Update

I had my follow up ultra sound this morning. It was a lot less eventful then last time. I drank maybe 20 oz of water on my way over rather then the recommend 32 oz. an hour before hand. Luckily Ty was asleep for the bulk of the appointment, he's a little DEVIL while he is awake when it comes to holding still (uhh just like his mama?) The technician talked to me about what he was looking for, the Kidneys and the Bladder needed a second look. He said that to him the Bladder looked just fine and the Kidneys were a little backed up but it wasn't unheard of in boys to have that happen. The accumulation of fluid wasn't a huge amount and measured smaller then the danger zone (a centimeter?), BUT as always he had to say, "That's what it looks like to me but we'll have the Radiologist check it out and give you final word on it". So I guess in 2-3 days my doctor will call me and let us know if there is anything to worry about with the little guy. The tech did say if it was something, that there is a valve that boys have to let the fluid in the Bladder from the Kidneys and it can be easily fixed with a minor operation after delivery.

Something weird that happened is while I was laying down flat on my back during the ultra sound, after about 20 minutes of the appointment I started getting light headed and the back of my mouth started watering then my eyes started watering and I thought "Oh my gosh I think I am going to puke...what? I haven't really puked in 10 years!" So right in the middle of looking at Ty's heart I said "Uh I think I am going to throw up" after looking at me and noticing no blood left in my face, he said "OH I'M SORRY, HURRY SIT UP!" I sat up and it was still pretty bad so he said "You still look bad, roll on your left side" So I rolled on my left side and instantly felt better. I said "WOW I haven't been sick my whole pregnancy that was the worst I have ever had it!" He said "The weight of the baby was cutting off your blood circulation, you let me know when it's better" within about a minute I was back to normal. He said it happens more often when you are farther along and sometimes the tech's forget because they are used to 19-20 week ultrasounds not 26-27 week ultra sounds. The rest of the appointment he propped the back up for me just in case.

Along with measurements and more pictures of his Kidneys and Bladder he measured his head and heart and all that stuff. He is growing right on track everywhere else and I am right where I need to be on my measurements as well. I'm not having the little guy anytime soon. At the beginning of the appointment the tech said "do you know if it's a boy or girl?" I said "yes, it's a boy." He said "Great do you want another picture or anything?" I said "sure if you can get one" so he would randomly through out the appointment go try and get a good picture to "confirm" but every time (while he was sleeping) BOTH HANDS were covering his boy parts. The tech kept saying "Man I can't ever get a good look, the baby has it's hands covering! Usually you will see it sucking it's thumb or have a hand up by it's face." Finally when Ty woke up he moved one hand and the tech said "Yep there it is, it's a boy for sure" it took that long and the hand was right back down. I told the tech when boys sleep they put their hands where it's warmest (okay maybe only his dad does that?) Oh and while he was waking he did is routine stretch of the legs that I enjoy so much. The tech caught it and went "whoa that little guy likes to stretch! Look at that his legs straight out like that!" Same as last time, I KNEW IT! When will it end? When he breaks my ribs from stretching after he wakes up? His head is on my lower right side, which is good, with his legs stretched out pushing on my upper left sides ribs, which is not so good. Ty is about 14" long right now. We also caught a good yawn while he woke up and he looks like he has a nicely formed mouth (meaning no cleft pallet or lip).

Sorry guys no pictures at all, Ty was moving too much when it came to a good face shot. We should have tried to get them while he was sleeping. All of the other pictures went straight to the Radiologist. We'll just have to wait another 13 weeks to see what he really looks like. Hopefully everything checks out well with the radiologist and no post delivery surgeries will be needed.

Tucanos and Basketball

I don't think it could have gotten any better! This weekend Matt and I had tons of fun!

We went to Tucano's with my birthday club card and took some friends Ryan and his date Lindsay with us. It was really yummy! Matt didn't eat all day it seemed, to prepare, and he was STARVING by the time we got there!

Friday to Saturday I did not sleep well. By about 5 o'clock Matt looked at me and said "Can I do something for you? Would you like me to scratch your back or anything?" I didn't realize my tossing and turning had him up too! Sorry Matt :( I got out of bed one last time and brushed my teeth washed my face got a drink of water etc etc then came back to bed for one last try. Well because of all that getting up hullabaloo the little one decided to wake up. DANG IT just as I was getting comfortable I had a little mover inside! So at one point I decided to POKE him back. A split second later I felt his entire foot toes and all kick me right where I had poked him. It was if I could have just grabbed his whole foot and held on. It was so weird that I laughed out loud (waking up Matt again) so I told him that Ty was awake and kicking...

We had our last Young Women's basketball game, we only had 3 girls show up. So as usual we borrowed from the other team. It's kind of a bummer that we only had 5 girls at a game 2 times out of the 10 but it was fun none the less. A good learning experience for me and it was pretty neat to see them improve throughout the season.

Because I didn't sleep that night, I took tons of mini naps during the day. Every time I woke up Matt had build or fixed something! He put up another lower shelf in the Laundry room for me since I had mentioned that with a baby belly it was hard to reach up high for all the detergent stuff. Also he build a big wooden box to put all of my seasonal yard crafts in as well as all his wood scraps. Next he is buying some clamps so he can build a bench for outside. I think he is also starting to build a work bench for all of his tools.

Lastly we went to the final BYU Men's Basketball home game of the season. We took Jason with us. It was a weird game a whole bunch of time outs with neither team having a real good exciting run. None the less we pulled it out against the 0-15 (now 0-16) Air force Falcons. With only a few minutes gone in the second half Jason asked me if we were done yet. I showed him the time clock and said when those numbers are Zero we can leave. Ryan then teasing asked him if he was ready to go and he said "no those numbers arent Zero yet..." He was asleep LONG before that. At half time you could tell he was tuckered out sitting on Matts lap. He eventually fell asleep on me which was fine and Matt carried him out to the car. He was a good little fan in the first half though joining along with the cheers and everything! The guy didnt take a nap during the day so it was to be expected that he would fall asleep quickly.

Tomorrow is Ty's second Ultrasound, I sure hope he is more photogenic this time!

Thanks Trish!

So guys, I'm not a freak. Read this!

An aura is the visual change that comes before a migraine headache. While 80 percent of migraine sufferers never experience an aura, there are a few people who have the visual symptoms of a migraine but don't experience a headache. This is sometimes called a visual or ocular migraine, an acephalgic migraine, or a migraine equivalent (the current technical term is "migraine aura without headache").
The visual changes that occur during a migraine aura can take many forms. They are usually described as flashing or scintillating lights. They may have a zigzag or "fortress-like" appearance, or look like poor reception on a television. Migraine auras typically start small, march across the field of vision, and then fade away.

That last bit is exactly right.

It's an Ocular Migraine! I've never had a real migraine before, (sorry Chrissie I don't know how to relate!) so I was thinking wow these migraine aren't that bad besides the fact I cant see anything... But now I don't feel so dumb knowing that other people in the family get them also.

I can't see!

For the last week or so randomly I go blind for about 2 or 3 hours during the day. Not completely blind, because I can type this right now, but blind enough where I can't see everything I am typing. I have to move my head around to read the whole word I type. It's hard to put into words but the only way I can explain it is like I just looked out a really bright window and went somewhere dark so I see a bunch of spots. Usually it happens at about 1 in the afternoon and it ends around 3. This morning it started at 9:30, so hopefully I am done with it by noon? Behind my eyes hurt as well accompanied with and a slight headache but nothing migraine like. I don't think its anything that I do specifically because all the windows are shut in the house right now. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this pregnancy related or just my weird self?

P.S. another weird side effect of pregnancy, for about the first 10 seconds after I wake up my sight is black and white. I lay there and stare at the paintings above my bed and wait to see the colors in the flowers, once I can see them I'll get up. It's pretty interesting.

Special Edition Matt Post: Mothers

If you think back to the time when you were expecting your first child (or two, if you're Kay), you may be able to relate to some of the feelings that I am experiencing. Mickie has expressed some of her feelings, as we prepare our home for a new born, but my feelings are a little different. It’s funny, but as I think about how Mickie and I have discussed some of our personal boundaries for how we want to raise our children, I can’t help but think back on how I was raised.

I really had a great childhood. My mom was always home when we came home after school. She would get in as many questions as possible, about how our day was, before we went rushing outside to hunt the monsters and fight off the invading troops of our imaginary world. But I remember always being happy to return to the real world, where mom was perfectly content with a hug as payment for her long and stressful day of caring for her children.

I guess what this post is really about is being thankful for the good women in our lives. Bill Cosby once told a joke about how a father raises his son to play football. The father spent hours working with his son to teach him and train him in football. He teaches him to be tough, along with the fundamentals of the game. The son grows up to be a world class athlete and after winning the college championship he looks in the camera and says, “Hi Mom!”

There’s something to be said about a mother’s impact on her children. Not to denote a father’s influence, but I am starting understand the connection a mother has with her children, after watching Mickie in this pregnancy. She is able to sense different emotions Ty is feeling. She knows if he is awake or asleep. She can tell if he is excited, uncomfortable, or upset with the way Mickie is sitting. My roll has come down to preparing our home for the things our children really have little concern for. To me, Ty is still a watermelon seed inside Mickie’s stomach. Though I have a natural feeling of wanting to grow and be the best father I can be for him, there is still no obvious connection like the one Mickie has with him.

Speaking from a son’s point of view, I think you dads are great, but I have to admit, there is something about you moms that outweighs a dad’s effort. Please don’t take offense to my comments all you dads, I will be one. Maybe one day dad’s efforts will go further noticed, but for now I send out a special thanks to all the moms for their unbridled and unmeasured love for their children.

BYU vs. Utah

The game was on Saturday, it started at 3:00 but the doors opened at 1:30. Here is the thing, Matt accidentally left his wallet at his work on Friday, in his wallet were our ALL SPORT Passes to get into the game. He remembered that he left it Friday night but he thought we could just go get it Saturday before we head down to the game to pick it up.

While Matt, Ryan, Will and I were driving down to the game we realized it... Matt forgot to get his wallet at work! Suzanne called and said she and Preston were headed down, so we HOPED that she could get into his work to get it. People do work there on Saturdays so we thought she could just talk to the security guy and get in. Well no such luck the doors all around the outside were locked, you had to have your security pass to get in. So we thanked Suzanne for trying while Matt and I headed back up to Sandy, after dropping Will and Ryan off to stand in line at about 1:20 in Provo. The line was long, or so I hear. Supposedly people had been camping out days before for good seats! Oh and for those of you that don't live around here from Provo to Sandy is about a 30 minute drive with good traffic. Matt decided to take a gamble, knowing people were at work and he didn't have his security pass with him, to sit outside until someone left or entered the building and he would just ask them to hold to door. We sat there for about 10-15 minutes and someone finally came to work and let Matt in. Matt was just sitting on the curb waiting.

Meanwhile Ryan and Will got in to the game and were saving us seats, thanks again guys! The place was instantly packed with students, and they ended up with top row seats. I guess they could have gotten three rows closer but why not sit at the top to at least have a back rest. (I especially thank them for that thought) It was nice standing up leaning against a wall. It saved my back that is for sure.

We got back from Sandy about 20 minutes before the game started. My face is bright red in this picture because we had to park all the way on the OTHER side if the stadium. It's not that far away, but to run the whole way took some effort, it's up hill! We were nervous that the student section would be "sold out" so to speak and they wouldn't let us in so we had to hurry. We did get in, Matt got there much sooner then I did, I can't imagine why :). But he made sure I got in and we were seated.

The game was great! It was the perfect game for fans, tight in the first half, stayed neck and neck for a while in the second but with about 8 minutes left BYU pulled ahead with some big plays by Jackson, Lee and Jimmer and it was all over from there. We used to joke with Ryan that he was Jimmer's "Achilles heal" because he never played well when Ryan came to the game. LUCKILY that wasn't the case and he came out with 25 points and Co-MVP status (check out that score board!) At one point after and amazing Jimmer move Matt was going so crazy that he had to sit down for a second because he got so light headed haha! The game was loud and fun, we're glad so many could come with us to the game.

In other news Matt is sick with another cold AGAIN. GOSH this thing just doesn't go away! He woke up Saturday feeling pretty horrible. Last night at Will and Kristin's he fell asleep at 8:45. Kristin gave him some Tylenol PM to take last night, thinking since he slept so much while we were there that he wouldn't get back to sleep for a while. After we got home he went straight to bed and woke up to take a shower before church at about 10, but then fell asleep again half on and half off the bed with just a towel on. I should have taken a picture it was pretty funny. Although he didn't have any clothes on... I figured at that point he really wasn't feeling well (I mean who falls asleep while getting dressed? His mouth was open and everything) so I went to church by myself and came home to make some more homemade chicken noodle soup for him. Poor guy... he's sneezing, blowing his nose, and has a constant headache. This cold really is "The BEAST"
