We're home....

Wow! Time flew. We all had a really good time at the shore!

Although, we are also a little glad to be home. Bonita was really happy to see us. When Jim picked her up at the Puppy Spa (kennel!) she had a pretty bandana on.

LBI...Day 6

Today, we all went to the beach for a couple of hours...but it was HOT!!!

Jim actually went into the water today. We all just relaxed on the beach and then went back to order dinner. After dinner, we all went to The Show Place for ice cream. I was super excited...I had been looking forward to this part of the vacation!

We all had a good time (Jim had never been there!) and my Mom got picked on! I was just glad it wasn't me!

When we got home, my parents watched Emily for a little bit while we walked down to the ocean. When we got home, we started packing.

I can't believe vacation is over already.

LBI...Day 5

Today it was rainy, so Jim, Emily & I just went to Bay Village. My parents went to Atlantic City for the day.

Even though it was raining we had a good time and then we picked up dinner at The Rack Shack and went home to relax.

Finally...the beach!

Today, we all went to the beach for Emily's 1st time! Jim put her in the sand and she didn't like it at first, then started smiling & clapping!

It was kinda chilly and windy so we only stayed a couple of hours. Before we left, Jim brought Emily to the water...she's still not too sure of it!

We went out for a nice dinner and then it started to rain. We went to Bay Village for a little shopping and then just went home to relax!

LBI...Day 4

Well...I was sick again, so Jim stayed home with Emily & I while my parents went to the beach. When they got home, Jim & Emily joined them to go out for dinner while I stayed home and rested.

Hopefully, I start to feel better soon! I'm missing my vacation!

Vacation...Day 3

Today, I just wanted to take it easy so Jim and my parents went to the beach. I was in a little bit of pain and my tetanus shot location was hurting. Emily stayed home with me to keep me company. But really, I wanted to be there at Emily's first day on the beach! After everyone got back, we all got ready to go out for dinner. Then, we just came home and relaxed.

My visit to the ER...

Today, I woke up not feeling well and decided to go to the Emergency Room. Ironically, I have been in this ER before, so I knew where it was. So, we left Emily with my parents and headed out.

When we got to the ER, it was pretty crowded and it took a while to be seen. When they took me back my fears were confirmed. I had an abscess. Now, its an easy fix, but its going to hurt! I'll leave the gory details out, but it was worse than childbirth!

Finally, it was done and they gave me percocet. Bad move. I went to stand up and everything got fuzzy. I got really nauseous and it seemed like I was under water. It was horrible! Jim went to get the nurse, but Jim came back and informed me it was normal.

When we were finally able to leave, I was feeling great but I was tired. So, I went to lay down and we just took it easy for the rest of the night.

Vacation is here...finally!

Today, we all got ready for our first vacation! We were meeting my parents in Long Beach Island. We all are very excited!

We had a long drive in traffic. After we got there and unpacked, we went up to look at the ocean. We were so excited to see Emily's first impression of it and...she was not impressed! We then went for dinner and came home to relax.

Blood Work....Round 2

Okay, since I'm stupid...Emily had to go get blood drawn AGAIN. I felt so bad for her. And we wanted to get it done since we were leaving for the shore soon.

Anyway, the pediatrician handed me 2 forms for blood work and I forgot to hand the person BOTH forms. So she had to get another vial of blood drawn. The good news is that she only got stuck in one arm. Again...all over...all smiles!
