This will probably be long...;)
Overall the trip was as I expected, exhausting and stressful. It was nice to see everyone and have them hang out with Ava. Dh got a speeding ticket on the way there....stupid cop shined the flashlight in Ava face and woke her up.:ohno:
We left around midnight and got there around 10am. I didn't sleep in the car at all but Ava did, so she was up for the day when we got there. I thought we were going straight to our friends house and take turns sleeping, but dh decided he wanted to go right to his parents house first. I wasn't happy about that and not ready to socialize and everything. I wanted a shower, food, and sleep! We had a bit of a disagreement in front of his family, he wanted me to take a nap there and have his mom and Gma watch Ava while he went with his dad to get tables and chairs for the party.
I knew Ava wouldn't be okay with me going away and being with people she didn't really know, so I was trying to tell him it wasn't a good plan. Anyway, I decided to just stay there while he went with his dad. We ended up being there most of the day. We got to our friends house around 5 and dh took a nap. I went to see my mom and fell asleep on her couch for a bit.:D Ava ended up falling asleep on me, but kept freaking out when my mom tried to move her so she wouldn't fall off the couch.
We went back to the house and Ava went to bed with no problems.:hula:I finally got some rest. I decided not to go to the graduation. It was outside and I didn't bring the stroller and it was hot. I figured it was just too long for Ava and she would be outside the rest of the day for the party. I'm glad we didn't go, they ran out of seats and there was no shade.
The party went ok, Ava had a lot of fun running around and everyone enjoyed playing with her.:)) I got mad at dh again :p, because I was annoyed that he wasn't helping with Ava and I was hungry and had to pee. We talked about it on the way home and he didn't understand why I didn't just ask one of his family members to watch her. The main reason...is because Ava would freak out anytime I walked away. So she isn't comfortable with these people yet, I would rather not have her get upset. Oh and we are supposed to be a team.
We talked about it again later and I was trying to explain to him that it would be nice if he would have come to check on me every once in awhile, see if I needed a break, or wanted to grab some food. He said he just doesn't think about that stuff, and didn't understand why I couldn't just come find him and give Ava to him. Well, that is what I did eventually which is fine....but the point was that it would be nice if I didn't have to tell him what to do, I want him to just do it. :banghead:
For some reason every time we go to Delaware we have communication issues and I end up mad.
The baby shower was nice, there were some other kids there so Ava got to play with them. Really they just kept trying to take things from eachother.:p And there was a tiny baby there and Ava kept trying to get in the baby seat. This kid hit Ava in the head with a baton, but she was ok. I spent the whole time chasing Ava around but I did manage to take some pics.
On a side note: My poor sil spent the whole weekend worried about her baby. She found out the baby is okay yesterday, but a couple days before we got there they called her and told her the baby had cysts on her brain. They said it could be fine the cysts would dissolve, or it could be a marker for this horrible condition that includes mental and physical abnormalities, along with heart and kidney issues. They went on to say that most babies that have it don't live past 3 months. So she had to spend her college graduation and baby shower trying to keep it together. I felt so bad for her. She had another ultrasound and the cysts are gone, everything seems okay!:pray:
Other than all that the trip was great.:lol:
Also....I got really really tired of hearing "so when are you having another one?":buttkick: Everyone asked me, even people I didn't know.
So, I am glad to be home!!!
Sorry it's so long, thanks for reading!:flower:
