Saturday night we went with some friends to the Zoo Boo. Even though most of the activities were geared towards older kids, we still had a good time. The kids had a blast just riding around in the wagon!
On the way to the zoo. Saying "cheese".
Riley didn't know what to think of all the lights & kids running around. He had a deer-in-the-headlights look for about the first 30 minutes or so.

We didn't know we were supposed to wear our Halloween costume so Hartley let Riley borrow some decorations for his stroller.
Trick-or-Treat!

First of all, thank y'all so much for the Happy Anniversary wishes & Congrats on our baby girl! It really means a lot. We are definitely excited & I can't wait to see how Riley is as a big brother. I know he will love that little girl so much. Plus, she's going to have Daddy wrapped around her little finger for sure. :0) So here's a little catching up as far as what's been going on the last week or so.
As you know, Wednesday was our 3 year anniversary. We just went out to eat the night before at Kyoto to celebrate. It was a great date with my man! I didn't bring my camera but we enjoyed a nice, quiet meal together. We planned on going to watch a movie afterwards, but nothing was showing that we really wanted to see, so we got a $1 movie rental & called it a night! Can't beat that!
Below is my 17 week, 2 day picture.
Since we were going to meet my parents after the ultrasound, I wanted to try to get creative in the way that we told them what the baby was. Last minute I thought of this idea. It wasn't the fanciest of all things, but it was a good surprise.
I baked 2 Gingerbread boy/girl cookies & colored the icing blue for one & pink for the other. We carried both of them with us to the ultrasound & then let them open the one that it was when we met them at supper. Had I thought of this prior to 1 hour before leaving, I would have gotten cute little boxes or something to put them in, but since I didn't aluminum foil had to do.
On the count of 3, we handed them the appropriate cookie & had them unwrap it. I think I captured their reaction pretty well! They are so excited to have both a grandson & soon a granddaughter!
My boys.
The closest thing we got to a family photo that day! Haha! Riley wanted to eat the cookie, but wasn't quite sure about the sticky icing.
Thursday night Riley woke up with a fever of 102.8, runny nose, & nasty cough. First thing Friday morning I took him to the doctor who tested him for the flu. The test came back negative, but he had flu-like symptoms so he went ahead & prescribed him Tamiflu. Since I'm pregnant he recommended that I contact my doctor to be put on it as well. This makes the 2nd time in 1 month that I have been on Tamiflu. Anyway, my poor baby seemed to progressively get worse as the fever climbed up to 104 on Saturday. Tylenol & Motrin just didn't bring it down much--only to 103.5. I was scared to death & wanted to take him back to the doctor, but once I gave him a cool sponge bath it brought the fever down to around 101.
Needless to say, we haven't gotten much sleep the past few days but Riley does seem to be doing a little better today. The doctor said if he isn't doing much better by tomorrow to bring him in again. We'll see how the rest of the day & night goes tonight, but I just pray my angel baby is over this!
Here he is at the doctor's office. Poor baby.
We said I Do! Happy Anniversary babe! It’s been a wonderful journey so far full of ups & downs (mainly ups!) & I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us down the road. I love you more everyday! XOXOXO
