Tuesday, May 11th I decided to keep it mellow for Tre the entire day, just in case. Jammer worked the late shift again so we all just hung at the house in the morning and then Tre took a 2 1/2 hour nap and woke up and we hung out for the rest of the day at the house. I was feeling a little yucky as well so it was probably a good idea for both of us to stay home. Tre's appetite started to come back a little in the afternoon and he actually asked me for food and said he was hungry so that was a good sign.
Wednesday, May 12th Tre was doing very well, he made it through the night with no problems. Jammer had the day off so we did our morning routine and then while Tre napped Jammer went surfing. I decided to take a nap just to make sure I stayed healthy, figured a little extra sleep would be a good idea. When Jammer got home from surfing Tre was just waking up and we hung out. I went to Jamba Juice to pick up smoothies and stopped at the grocery store for some things while the boys stayed at the house. Then we went over to our friends/neighbor's house so Tre could play with their son Liam and check out his train table. Tre was in heaven of course! We hung out there until it was time to get home for bedtime routine.
Thursday, May 13th we had an appointment to check out a preschool for Tre that morning at 10am. We really liked the school we went to and Tre was very comfortable and roamed around very happily. I got a little misty eyed while there towards the end, Tre was able to play with the kids and he was so happy and free-spirited. They were playing at the bubble table and he was running around the other kids yelling "bubbles" and just enjoying himself. I love how he can acclimate to a situation so easily! We left the preschool and headed home, both Jammer and I were starting to feel pretty yucky and had a bad feeling we may have caught whatever it was that Tre had. So Jammer called out sick and while Tre napped we both napped as well. When Tre woke up we were both not motivated at all to go and do anything. However I did feel inspired to buy Tre a train table because I had a feeling we would be in the house for the next few days and it was motivation enough to make the decision to buy it. I found one on craigslist and decided to go take a look and most likely pick it up. And yep, I came home with a train table for our little man. We decided to wait until the morning to show it to him to ensure he would go to bed. So we set it all up after he went to bed in preparation for the surprise in the morning.
Friday, May 14th Tre woke up and I surprised him with his new train table. I think he was a little confused at first, like, is this really mine? He played with it off and on throughout the morning and thankfully when it was time for nap he didn't fight it. Jammer ended up calling out sick again since he had been throwing up through the night. We napped again while Tre napped and then when he woke up we all hung out in the living room. Tre had his train table to help keep him busy while we were feeling pretty awful laying on the couch. It was really difficult for me to be sick since I am pregnant and it seemed like what little I could eat didn't go to me, but straight to the baby and I was left weak and confused by the fact that I felt hungry but had no desire to eat. We made it through the day and got our kiddo to bed. Then we went straight to bed ourselves. Here is the video I took surprising Tre with his new train table, click here to see it.Saturday, May 15th was another day of staying home, Jammer still out sick. It was getting pretty unbearable to feel this horrible for a few days now. We did the same thing and hung at the house, tried to eat, tried to rest and tried to keep Tre happy. Jammer's Mom came by after Tre's nap to visit, it had been a while since she had seen Tre. Tre was excited to see her and probably happy to hang with someone other than Mom and Dad for a bit. He showed her his new train table.
Sunday, May 16th was Jammer's scheduled day off and we were still feeling pretty yucky but more mobile and just trying to regain strength at this point. We attempted to eat a real breakfast and that wasn't too bad, but I was pretty full and felt the need to nap again during Tre's nap. Jammer however was determined to get out in the water so he went for a short surf. When he got home and Tre woke up we decided to go over to Jammer's parents beach house to visit his Mom. We attempted to have pizza for dinner and I think that was a bit too much for our tummies because both Jammer and I were hurting after dinner.
Monday, May 17th was a much better day. However, Jammer was still not so strong and was worried about his 1st day back to work since he got sick. He had to close to at least he got to rest in the morning. But he had a rough day at work, his job is very hustle and bustle, which is a hard thing to do when you have hardly eaten anything for 5 days. He made it through. Tre and I hung at the house and then my neighbor had planned on me watching her daughter for a couple hours so her and her husband could go out. I was happy to help since she has always been there for me when I need her to help. Besides the fact that her daughter is so great with Tre and a sweetie to have around. It was a fun evening and Tre was super excited to have Selah there to play with, eat dinner with and watch a little TV with.
Tuesday, May 18th we did our morning routine with Tre (Jammer as well) and then Jammer went to work after Tre went down for his nap. After Tre's nap we went over to my friend Allison's house so Tre and Cole could play. We hung there for a little bit and then went back home and did our nighttime routine.
Wednesday, May 19th was another routine morning and then after Tre's short nap (hour and a half) we went to Costco to get some gas and then met up with my friend Allison and her kids at the San Marcos Farmer's Market. Ate some food, grabbed some yummy produce and walked around. Then came back home and waited for Jammer to get off work (he ended up getting off much later than planned). Here is a cute video of Tre singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, click here to see it.
Thursday, May 20th was a busy day. Tre and I had preschool in the morning, then ran to Costco right after school. I got Tre home for nap and then while he was sleeping I had to get ready and get his smoothie prepared because I had a doctor's appointment and my Mom was going to hang at the house while Tre slept (which he slept the entire time I was gone, until about 5 or so minutes before I got home). I met Jammer at our doctor's office (since he had to work) so we could both be there for the ultrasound which I talked about in a previous blog post here. Then after our doctor's appointment Jammer had to go back to work and I went home. My Mom had just barely gotten Tre out of his crib and was making his smoothie. We had a little lunch and then hung out for a bit until my Mom had to leave to go back home. About 20 minutes later Jammer got home from work and we did a portion of our nighttime routine together but I had a Mom's Night Out planned for the night and had to get ready to go. We went to Beach Grass Cafe in Solana Beach. It was so nice to get out and hang with the other Moms from my awesome play group.
Friday, May 21st Jammer had the day off. We hung out in the morning and then after Tre's nap we had a birthday party for Tre's friend Ella to go to. We hung out there for a bit and Tre had fun running around with Jammer and playing among the other kids. On our way home we stopped at the grocery store for some things for dinner since Jammer's Mom and sister were coming over to visit with Tre and have dinner. I made some yummy ceviche and fish tacos for dinner. It was SO good! Tre had SO much fun playing with his Auntie Malia!! He wanted her with him practically at ALL times. It was really cute. He went to bed a little later than normal and had a bit of a meltdown trying to get him ready for bed, but Jammer got him to bed and we were able to visit with his Mom and sister for a little while before they headed home.Saturday, May 22nd Tre was pretty grumpy and tired from getting less sleep the night before so we hung out at the house and then he went down for nap a little earlier than normal. We hung out until Jammer got home from work and then they played a bit before dinner and nighttime routine.
Sunday, May 23rd Jammer had the day off and after breakfast we decided to go to Toys 'R Us to pick up a few trains for Tre's train table since the ones that came with it weren't working out so great. We ended up getting him a pack and was able to put a few of them away and bring out a few of them at a time. We also got a really cute Sea Monkeys surfer land. I had to get it, just for nostalgia if nothing more. Plus it had a super cute beach/surfer scene aquarium that I just couldn't pass up! While Tre napped I prepped the aquarium with the water purifier and had to let it sit for 24 hours. I think I was more excited about these things than Tre was since he didn't really understand what they were, but maybe it'll be interesting later on? Tre LOVES aquariums so we'll see. After Tre's nap we hung out then went for a walk to the grocery store and picked up some things for dinner. Then back to the house for dinner and bedtime.
Monday, May 24th Tre and I hung at the house in the morning, then Tre went down for nap and while he was napping I did the 2nd phase of the Sea Monkeys and placed the Sea Monkeys into the aquarium. Now we just have to wait and see what happens and in 5 days from placing them in the aquarium I begin feeding them. Woo-Hoo! Yes...I'm a dork..I know. Tre woke up an hour earlier on this day so he went down an hour earlier. He took a good nap and once he was awake we got ready and went over to my friend Sarah's house, it was a nice afternoon and we were dying to get out of the house but I was not dying to chase Tre too much. So it worked out great! Tre had lots of fun playing with Ella's new birthday toys and Ella of course. Jammer got off work early since he was in training the 2nd half of his shift and he ended up getting in an hour surf while we played at Sarah & Ella's house. Then we got home and Tre ate a GREAT dinner and we got him ready for bed.
Tuesday, May 25th Jammer had the day off and we hung in the morning at the house. Tre is LOVING his new trains on his train table and it is hard to peel him away from the house at times because he doesn't want to leave the table. So he played a lot with that in the morning and ate a GREAT breakfast. Gotta love when they eat willingly. It wasn't traditional breakfast food, but it was a good meal nonetheless which he had specifically requested. Then while Tre napped, Jammer went surfing and I did some stuff on the computer. After Tre woke up we got ready and went to La Costa Grill with our friend/neighbor Will. Then after La Costa Grill we went to Target and then back to the house before my HOA Board Meeting.
Wednesday, May 26th we had a birthday party in the morning for Tre's friends Robert and Elizabeth. So we did that until it was time to go home for nap. After nap we went over to my friend Allison's house for some play time.Thursday, May 27th Tre and I had preschool class in the morning. It was my turn to bring snack. After class we stopped in at Home Depot to pick up some paint to repaint the master bathroom. During Tre's nap my neighbor Rachel watched the monitor for about 30 minutes so I could go check out a house for rent. After nap we ended up just hanging out at the house until Jammer got home from work.
Friday, May 28th Tre and I hung at the house until Jammer got home from his work meeting, then we all ate breakfast and hung out till it was time for Tre's nap. Then Jammer had to go back to work to work the late shift. After Tre woke up from his nap we played at the house. I was dealing with a lot of stuff in regards to our refinance and potential rental we are looking to move into. We went to Costco after that to pick up some things.
Saturday, May 29th Tre and I hung out at the house in the morning and then made a quick stop to check out a house for rent. We met the agent and walked around. It was hard to check it out with Tre running around since I had to try and keep an eye on him as well as check out the place, luckily the agent was nice and would help watch him so I could walk around and look. Then Tre took a short nap (almost an hour and a half). He was starting to sound a little stuffy so I decided to just stay home. Then Jammer got home from work and played with Tre for a little bit until it was time for bed. That night Tre had a tough time sleeping, I think his congestion was getting worse.
Sunday, May 30th Tre and I hung at the house, he took another short nap (less than an hour and a half). He was sick so I didn't want to take him anywhere, however, we had to go to the store for a quick run for medicine since the recall on Motrin we didn't have any medicine for him at the house. Got him some generic brand motrin and some things to hopefully help with the congestion. Jammer had to work the entire day so he got home just before it was time for Tre to get to bed. We did a quick bath to hopefully help with the congestion and just clean Tre off since he was running a little warm that day. Then set up this PediaCare Gentle Vapors Vapor Plug in to help Tre breathe through the night, plus put some Baby Vapor Rub on his chest. I think it all really helped as he slept through the night without waking up once.
Monday, May 31st Jammer had the day off and unfortunately we weren't able to take advantage of the beautiful day and do some outdoor activity since Tre did not sound so great. I was worried Tre was going to take another short nap, but it must be thanks to the vapor plug in and vapor rub because he ended up taking a 3 hour nap. YAY! He needed it and so did I...even though I didn't get to nap because I kept thinking he was going to take another short nap like the two days prior. I was glad just for the fact that sleep will help him get better. When he woke up we decided to just hang out at the house and keep Tre in, so hard to do when it was so nice out. But necessary! He was a little difficult to put down for bed though, but eventually he fell asleep.
Tuesday, June 1st Jammer had the day off. I can't believe it is already JUNE! In a month and 8 days my little boy is going to be 2 years old!!! Poor kid is still sick. I think at this point it is the end of it, he is coughing a little more, which I'm assuming is his body trying to get rid of all the congestion junk. His nose is less runny but still running. He seems to be in good spirits otherwise. Probably because Daddy is SO fun to play with that it keeps his mind off being sick. Wish I could be more fun but this growing belly is not allowing much wrestling and wild action. Tre took a 2 hour and 40 minute nap. It was such a bummer because Tre had a birthday party to go to this afternoon but I didn't want to expose him to the other kids in case he could still be contagious. So I ended up dropping off the gift at the party while Jammer and Tre waited in the car. After leaving the party we went and picked up some food and then ran a few errands. Back to the house for our nighttime routine.
Wednesday, June 2nd Tre was doing MUCH better. Thank goodness! His nose was only runny if he sneezed but he wasn't warm anymore and he seemed to be breathing much better. We stayed at the house in the morning but I finally got a hold of someone for a house we wanted to check out and my awesome neighbor Rachel came and hung out with Tre while I went really quickly to check it out. One of the things I will miss dearly about living here is our awesome neighbors!! We have met some great people living here and having them close by if we may ever need anything is going to be a hard thing to be without! Then after Tre's nap we got ready and I had to stop by a leasing place to pay a rental application fee. Crossing our fingers that we get this place!!! Then we came back home and Jammer got home from work shortly after that. We had our lender coming by the house at 7pm to sign some paperwork for our refinance.
Thursday, June 3rd is normally when we would go to our weekly preschool class, however Tre had a long night of waking up, coughing, crying and not sleeping very well, so I decided that maybe it would be best to continue to keep him home a bit longer. I would hate for him to be coughing on any of the other kids in class. Such a bummer because he really likes preschool! Only 2 more classes left so it's a bummer to miss the last of them until Fall (if we decide to continue). Jammer also had training today so he wasn't expected to be home until 6pm...so what to do with Tre for the day? He went down for nap and then when he woke up we hung out at the house. We ended up just playing with Tre's train table until Jammer got home from work.
Friday, June 4th morning was rough, I think Tre was at wit's end with being at home. I checked with his doc to make sure that he wasn't contagious anymore and with it being 6 days since he got sick it was safe to take him out into the world. Thank goodness because he was not a happy kid being cooped up in the house all week and only getting out to do quick errands. My friend Sarah had invited us to go swimming. It was a beautiful afternoon and as soon as Tre woke up from his nap I asked him if he wanted to go swimming and he was ALL about it. He was about ready to leave the house without getting ready. We got ready to go and packed all the necessary stuff and we were out the door. It was so much fun, the community pool had a little 1 foot wading pool for the kids to play in, which was perfect. I was able to stand in the water and play with the kids. It was a fun afternoon and Tre was in a great mood. Which helped his mood for the rest of the evening as well. He was a happy little man to get out having fun. Jammer got home a little bit after us.Saturday, June 5th Jammer worked the late shift so he was home with us in the morning. I had to go sign some lease papers while Jammer watched Tre at the house. We submitted our deposit for the new house we are moving to and signed the lease papers and were all set until moving time. Which in fact is on the 19th! YIKES! Can't believe we are going to be moving...it's a very bittersweet situation...I love our condo and the area, but am looking forward to having a backyard for Tre to play in and a little bit more space to include another little Anderson who will be making his debut in 3 months and a few days (maybe less if he's like his big brother and decides to come early). Jammer put Tre down for nap and then got ready for work. When Tre woke up from his nap we ended up just hanging out at the house.
Sunday, June 6th was the day of my belated Mother's Day, to see the post for this click here. We took a picture from this day but I haven't gotten a copy from my sis yet, so I'll have to post that up a little later.
Monday, June 7th Tre and I hung at the house in the morning. Tre had a bit of a tantrum when it came time for nap. Finally he went down for a nap, just under 2 hours. After nap we got ready to go pick up some paperwork from our property manager's office for our refinance and then went over to my friend Edith's house to pick up a check for a site I did for her husband as well as hang for a bit so Tre can play with her daughters. We get home and Jammer was home from work. Since our TV in the living room broke yesterday we were hanging out in our bedroom until it was time for the nighttime routine to begin.
Tuesday, June 8th Jammer and I took Tre to Leo Carrillo Park to look at peacocks and run around with his play group. There were SO many peacocks and they were loud! Some of the kids were a little nervous around them and others were very brave. Tre was pretty brave but then just wanted to roam the property. Thank goodness Jammer was there to follow him around, it's tough to keep up with this kid as I grow. Then Tre went down for his nap & Jammer left for work. When Tre woke up we hung out. I had a potential renter coming to look at the condo at 4pm so we had to hang out until he showed up and left. Then just hung out til bedtime.
Wednesday, June 9th we had a potential renter come take a look at the condo as well as an appraiser to do the appraisal on our condo for our refinance. Busy morning. Then after nap Tre had a preschool class graduation party to go to. One of the Moms planned a party for our kiddos since it's the day before our last day of preschool class till Fall (if we decide to continue, which we would like to, it just depends on how things go with 2 kiddos). After the preschool class grad party we went back to the house so I could meet a potential renter, Jammer got home just before she arrived so it was nice to have him watch Tre while I could focus on the renter. She left and then we got ready and decided to go see if we could meet up with my friend Precia and her family who were camping at San Elijo Campgrounds. It worked out perfectly. We got there, Jammer went looking for the campsite numbers while I waited with Tre, I called Precia to check to see if they were still there and it all came together. They were getting ready to go get dinner and we were really hungry so we stopped off at their campgrounds and then we all met over at Besta Wan Pizza across the street from the campgrounds. They were camping with a family of 4 and they are a family of 4 so it was a big group of us. We had some pizza and then went home and put Tre to bed. It was so great to see Precia and talk to her and just catch up. She and I have known each other since I was in 4th grade (her in 5th). We were neighbors for all of our younger years.So the day has come where Tre is exactly 1 month before his 2nd birthday!! I'm so behind on choosing a party theme and getting things situated for his 2nd birthday. With us moving, did I mention that? We are moving on the 20th and 21st of June...so I've had my hands full with potential renters coming to look at our condo and us packing our stuff to move to the new house. Plus I have been having a hard time choosing a theme for Tre's party this year. Hopefully I can figure it all out VERY soon. Next month's post is going to be here before I know it and that means my baby boy is going to be 2 years old!! I think I might cry a little...hehe!
Now for the collection of pics from this past month...it's a pretty measly collection...not nearly as vast as the many months before...feel kinda sad about it...looks like getting sick twice in one month and 3 months before baby #2 is due is wearing on me...
