A LITTLE TIME AWAY MAKES FOR A HAPPY MOMMA

Ryan and I finally went on our first out of town vacation with out Branson. I missed the little guy SO flippin much, but it was so nice to just be a couple again, and not have to worry about being Momma and Dadda. My mom was kind enough to come stay with Branson at our house, where he would be most comfortable. Of course it didn't go of with out a hitch. Right as we were boarding the plane to Sin City, we got a phone call. Branson has smushed a bee, and had been stung. I'm sure any parent would be worried at this point, but since my mom is DEATHLY allergic, my heart dropped into my toes. Thank God, he isn't allergic. And after calling the bee "caca", Momo saved the day and made it all better. On to the vacation. We arrived at Ceasars, we ate glorious food, gambled a little, and got to see my bestest friend in the whole wide world, Chrissy. Chrissy, Chris, Ryan and I dined at Sushi Roku, my most favoritest sushi place ever. That's the one thing I seriously look forward to in Vegas, the food. Serendipity 3 is my new favorite place. They are famous for their Frozen Hot Chocolate, but honestly I could do with out it. I had an amazing mochachino, followed by even more amazing Mac N Cheese, the best chicken sandwich I've ever eaten, and I forgot to mention they brought us frozen cheesecake on a stick because we are "diamond" members. This place has awesome food, so much so that I am inspired to create a Yelp account and give them a bazillion stars. (we ate there twice, it was THAT good). The second best part about Vegas is my ability to sleep. For some stupid reason, I sleep SO MUCH BETTER in hotels than I do at home. I've always been that way. But since I've had a baby, I can assure you I slept like the dead both nights at Caesars palace. I wasn't even bothered by Ryan's restless legs or snoring (sorry babe!). The third best part about Vegas? Coming home to my beautiful baby boy. And he was so happy to see us. A big thank you to Momo for watching over our little compound. Dealing with our animals is a full time job in itself.

On a less positive note, Branson has croup again. It's not as bad this time, but it's lingering. I took him to the Dr. yesterday to have a wart burnt off (caused by eczema, who knew? not me), and he not only has croup but an ear infection as well. Poor baby! So he is on a steroid and an antibiotic. I wish we could have had the steroid shot opposed to the oral liquid. He had his first does last night, and despite being EXHAUSTED, he was up playing until 1 am, and then up again from a coughing fit from 3 am to 5 am. Needless to say I didn't get any sleep. And now it's almost 1 pm, and he is napping his little head off. Of course! Because he probably sleep until like 3 pm and then be totally off his schedule. Wish me luck...
