Our weekend.

We went to visit my parents this weekend. It was great. Saturday we went to my little cousin Sarah's cheer competition, it was really fun. Then mom and I went shopping while Cooper and the hubs took a nap. Saturday night we all sat down to my dads famous Mexican casserole. It was as usual delicious. We ate, watched a movie together and then I ate a nice full plate of tasty blackberry cobbler. Cooper fell asleep so good (I always worry when we aren't at home and he can't sleep in his crib). Oh and guess what I'm so proud to announce that my son no longer sleeps in a bathtub (no water) when he visits grandma and grandpa. He is now a big boy who will sleep all night long in a pack and play like other kids will!!!! Yay Coopy!
That's right we tried it for the first time this weekend and he did a great job. Slept all night long. I was really happy he did so good.
So this takes us to Sunday morning. I wake up and stumble into the restroom. I look into the mirror and to my surprise I have "hot face" as my husband called it. My face was BRIGHT and I mean fluorescent hot pink red. My cheeks, forehead, and chin were all blotchy and discolored and swollen. I didn't even feel a thing while I slept.
I have no idea what I'm allergic to, I bring my own pillow and we ate dinner fairly early so we decided it must have been the yummy blackberry cobbler that I'm allergic to. I've eaten blackberries before but apparently I should stop now. It took 2 Benadryl's and the rest of the day for it to go away completely. I went to church despite the horrible blotches. Because I knew it was an allergic reaction and not something contagious. I felt stupid though, but I wasn't about to miss church just because I didn't look very pretty. Although it was tempting.
After church Julian and I packed up and had to head home so we could go to my best friends birthday dinner. It was at a restaurant called Shogun. MMMMM its so good. Its a Japanese steakhouse. They grill everything right there in front of you. It was delicious. I just love the vegetables. They are my very favorite, smothered in unhealthy amounts of soy sauce. The birthday dinner was adults only. I was sad, Yes I know this is corny. But I hate leaving Cooper with a sitter on the weekends. I miss him enough during the days at work that on the weekend he goes where we go. But since it was my best friend and she wanted an adult night out we went for her. It was really fun and Cooper had a good time with my bf's parents (they watched him).
I don't drink a whole lot, I enjoy a glass of wine every now and then but I hate beer and shots, never again!!! My drink of choice used to be amaretto sours. I loved them. So sweet and tasty. However through our years of infertility and trying month after month, year after year, then pregnancy I haven't had one in forever. Recently a friend introduced me to a new wine. Its called Fuki. Oh my gosh! Its delicious and reminds me allot of amaretto sour. I got myself a nice glass of Fuki wine last night and all the ladies ended up getting some also. It was quite a hit.
If you like sweet drinks you would love this stuff.
We had so much fun laughing and talking with our friends and the chef. :) He was funny and I kept trying to ask him questions. He came to the U.S to be chef. It was funny hearing what he thought about parenthood and cooking. He was a funny guy. I have pictures of all of us there, I'll post them tomorrow when I get the chance.

When we went and picked up Cooper he was a little fussy. He has been obsessively chewing and sucking and chewing some more on anything he can get his hands on. Poor baby will really get all hectic acting and shove his whole fist in his mouth chomping vigorously. He is definitely in the teething process. Anytime he isn't biting on something he is crying. Poor baby is in pain. I hate that this will last for like another year. Horrible.

Well that's pretty much our entire weekend. I hope you all had a good one.
