GNO countdown

I'm up way past my bedtime.... trying to finish Twilight before I see the movie tomorrow night....(I know, I know... I am a little late on the bandwagon). Anyway, I am so excited to see the movie, but mostly, I am SO excited for a girls night out! I am couting down the hours to have a babysitter (my bro, Brandon...thanks!!!), and to have a few hours to MYSELF! Selfish? I think not. Mama just needs a break every so often. :)

Stressed much?!

This is how I felt all day today. I spent 4 hours in the emergency room today...just me and baby Noah. I was afraid I was having appendicitis (horrible pain, like someone was stabbing me in the lower right abdomen with a very sharp knife!), so I called my doctor this morning, and he told me to go straight to the E.R. since they would have to do a CT scan. OH man, what a nightmare. Four hours later, after dealing with a fussy baby and an IV in my arm, I left the hospital without appendicitis (thank heavens), but a prescription for a pain killer to help ease the pain from another ovarian cyst. I'm telling you....the last cyst I had (it ruptured though) was worse than labor.

Grant is out of town, Noah didn't get one good nap today, and I am just about to keel over from exhaustion. What a day. I am so ready for the weekend....and for Grant to be home!

Fall Fun

Last week Grant had to work in L.A. I wasn't going to go with him, until I saw the weather forecast of 85 degrees there everyday that week. Anyway, it was fabulous as always. We did some fun shopping at the always exciting Grove, and of course made the drive to the spectacular Topanga Canyon uuber mall. (Target at one end, Nordstrom at the other, with everything else in between....you couldn't ask for better shopping.) :) I saw Bob Harper (from The Biggest Loser) at the gym class I went to on Saturday at Barry's Bootcamp. Here is my conversation with Grant when I got back to the hotel from the gym:
me: Guess who I saw at the gym?!
Grant: Who?
me: Bob! From The Biggest Loser! I am so mad I didn't have my camera to take a picture with him. Oh well, I think he's gay anyways...
Grant: He's not really a celebrity.
me: Well, he sure is super hot!
Grant: Too bad you didn't ask for his phone number either.
Haha... I don't think Grant cared too much about my celebrity spotting this trip. :)

Noah decided to get his two lower teeth while we were away. He slept horribly the whole trip, but luckily he was great on both flights!

Noah is also sitting up on his own now and is laughing so much. He is getting big way too fast!

Bah humbug

This morning I woke up to a whole lot of snow.... I almost cried when I opened my blinds. This is how I bundled Noah to run some errands today. One of the reps Grant works with gave us these handmade booties and hat....I think they're pretty funny. As for me, well I'm off to find some uggs, or fakies, since our neighbors dogs peed on mine last winter on our porch, and I need to get out there and shovel our driveway. Grant is in Chicago, where he says they are having record highs of 75 degrees right now. Argh. I'm not ready for another winter yet!!
