Just got back on Sunday from seeing some friends and had the BEST time!  It flew by.  I love getting together with the gals.  It is so nice to hang out and chat.  Even though we are all very different, there is a underlying commonality between us.  I think that is what bonds us.
I was kid free this weekend.  Ben was home being Mr. Mom.  He did a great job and since I have been home, he has been much more hands on.  I think it gave him an appreciaiton for what I do.  Yeay!  Being that I was kid free, I shared a hotel room with Miss Tiff.  We had so much fun.  On friday we stayed up late, tucked up in our own beds, chatting like I used to do when I was a kid and was having a slumber party.  LOL, it was fun.
The gals also got me presents for the baby.  I got some adorable outfits, books and swaddler for the new baby and some gift certs that I CAN'T wait to use!  I was so suprised and it was so kind and thoughtful.  It really meant a lot to me.  I have the nicest friends.  :)
On the ride back to Chicago, my check engine light came on and was on for most the ride.  I checked everything obvious and nothing was wrong.  So I sped, praying that the car would wait for me to get to Midway before dying.  Luckily it did and I was able to give the piece of crap car back to the rental people. 
Then on the flight, we were booked.  I was on the isle and had this Indian girl next to me that kept falling asleep and sleeping on me.  When I would wake her, she then would sleep on the man who was sitting by the window.  I finally told her that this was crazy.  I could appreiciate she was tired, but she needed to recline her seat and stop sleeping on us.  When I got off the flight, the window man came up to me and we laughed about the crazy sleeping chick.
It was great coming home and seeing the family!  The kids would not let me out of their sight.  I was tired, but it felt so nice to be home.  Ben had the house and the kids looking clean and tidy.  We took the kiddos out for pizza that night.
Monday, Kit had his well baby check up.  He is now 34.5 inches and weighs 27.5lbs.  He is healthy and perfect!  I could have told the docs that, LOL.  We did have to take him tho to have blood drawn to check his iron.  Poor little guy did not like that.
Today I had a OB visit and it went well.  The little one is doing well and had a nice strong, easy to find hb of 157.  And I only put on 1.5 lbs since my last visit and that was even after eating like a pig this weekend.  Yes, I ate a whole triple chocolate dessert from Applebees... good and true.
Now it is time to put the kiddos down for a nap and sneak one in too!
