I’m doing a quick InstaFriday,over at Life Rearranged!
This has been an emotional week…
Hot Hubby’s dad passed away suddenly so we drove up north (San Francisco area) for the memorial. The memorial was great and the whole trip was an awesome chance to reconnect with some amazing family members! Cora Jane picked these wild flowers and we used them as the main arrangement for the beautiful outdoor service.
A road trip isn’t truly a Road Trip unless you got to In-N-Out Burger.
My order?
Hamburger – fried mustard – grilled onions – no spread – no ketchup/mustard instead – no pickles – yes lettuce & tomato
On the way home I did a Foursquare check-in at every pit stop, hoping to be mayor of something. I’m still not. Boo.
Since we were in the midst of a long 8 hour drive home on Father’s Day we celebrated on Monday. We did our traditional donut cake, had an awesome day at the beach (Salt Creek) then dinner at Miguel’s Cocina in Point Loma (can you say white sauce???). AND we got to spend the evening with with family I had never met. Fun fun fun!!
Monday night we noticed a HUGE sore on Cy’s lip (I mentioned it a bit in the post below) our doctor decided to admit him to the hospital asap. They were worried the sores were indicators of something more. To say I was a basket case would be a grotesque understatement. We saw a lot of great doctors (including an infectious disease one) at CHOC in Mission. Three days and two nights later the first batch of blood tests are clear and the tummy sonogram is clear. YAY! Now we are waiting for another batch of blood tests to come back (clear!!) – we’ll know by later next week. (A more specific post coming soon.)
I took this belly picture on the way out the door after showering at our house. I think it might be the first belly shot I have taken this time around and I’m 27 weeks!! Poor 4th baby. Yay I’m starting the 3rd trimester. In case you are wondering our bathroom is fully decked out with all thing In-N-Out Burger. We are hard core!
Today was our first full day home and boy did I have A LOT to do – Eli’s Lids orders to fill, errands to run, past-due library books to return, furniture to spray paint and a crap load lot of laundry. Life as usual. Praise the LORD!!

Wow, girl! That’s a whole lot to bear. Condolences to your family on the passing of Hot Hubby’s father. Glad to hear Cy is doing well. I hope things get better and calm down for you. Keeping you in my thoughts.

Prayers are truly felt AND appreciated!! Still waiting on test results for Cy. Hoping that they haven’t called me yet because everything is clear and they didn’t find anything urgent. 🙂

Girl, you have been through the wringer this week. Hope next week is much better–especially that your son gets better and y’all get some answers.
Cute belly pic!
Eli's Lids says
Me too!!! The dr was suppose to call yesterday. He didn’t – my two thoughts are things are clear and it wasn’t urgent to call OR he needs to have a long serious conversation and didn’t have time to call. Blarg… motherhood.
