Yep thats what I said to Darren literally 20 minutes after we walked in the door after being on vacation...
Christmas was great this year. We spent Christmas eve with the Groen side of the family. Brant got spoiled and was one TIRED boy. Christmas morning Brant opened his presents from Darren and I and then we opened our stockings. After we cleaned up and got ready we headed to my parents house for breakfast and to open presents with them. Later that afternoon the Lindquist side of the family came over to my mom and dad's. Brant did great. After that we headed to Darren's Grandma's to spend the rest of the evening with his mom's side of the family. By the time we got home Brant was passed out and barely moved when I moved him from the car seat to his crib.
I spent the rest of Christmas night packing and loading the car. We headed out about 9:30 or so to go to Winthrop with my parents and Cody. But first we had to stop at True Value. Darren said all their Christmas lights were going to be 75% off. We didn't decorate the outside of the house this year. Too much going on and we would've had to buy a ton of lights so we just decided next year. Well Darren went into True Value while I stayed in the car with Brant and he came back with I don't know how many boxes of lights. Our house is going to be looking good next year!
Brant did great on the ride over and while we were there. My mom and I took turns going snowmobiling and staying back with Brant. There wasn't much snow so we came back yesterday (Sunday). Darren got sick while we were over there. Bad congestion and his ears were plugged and ringing.
On the drive back Brant was really fussy, we were going to stop in Leavenworth quick so I could change his diaper and give him a bottle but we didn't make it that far. He was really crabby so we pulled over at a gas station and I changed him in the car and gave him to my mom and dad in the other truck so they could feed him while I went in and got some Dramamine. I was feeling pretty car sick. He was fussy for a little bit after we left then fell asleep. He woke up just after we got over the pass and from then on to home he cried, and screamed, and cried some more. That ride was AWFUL.
When we got home he was a little bit happier but anytime I touched him, picked him up or did anything with him he cried. He only wanted Darren. And of course Darren was feeling pretty awful so he was crabby too. I was trying to put everything away, keep a crabby child occupied and try to make Darren feel better at the same time. Not a fun night. Brant finally went to bed around 8 and Darren and I did the same not long after him. Then at 10 it all started........... Darren was miserable. Brant woke up so congested, coughing and screaming and the rest of the night was up pretty much every hour waking up and I had to suction out his nose and calm him back down. The only way I could get him to go back to sleep was to rock him. Let's just say I'm EXHAUSTED today and coffee is my best friend!
Today Brant is feeling MUCH better. Not near as congested as last night, still somewhat but not bad. He is going going going and scooting his way all over the house and into everything. I'm trying to get laundry done and keep my eyes open plus trying to keep up with him. Later tonight I'll try and post pictures from Christmas and our trip.
