First of all, thanks for all the prayers for Harrison. He IS still in the hospital but after being almost 100% unresponsive and uncooperative for the past 3 days, he is finally having a better day today!!! PRAISE GOD. We have all been really worried about him and even though he's not completely out of the clear yet, it is nice to know he's starting to get back to himself. Which let's us know, he's starting to feel better too. :)
I took off yesterday so mom could go spend the day with April and Harrison. I was supposed to keep Ada while Breeann worked but she ended up not having to go in. They decided to come over and spend the day with us anyways. The day got cut short when Tuff started throwing up about 12:30. Urrghhh.. The stomach bug has been in full swing lately but I thought we were for sure in the clear of it this time. I should have KNOWN better. We never get in the clear of any sickness at our household. Poor buddy threw up consistently from 12:30 until 8 last night. When he first started throwing up, I was thinking to myself "I know I'm a good mom but when it comes to this whole throwing up and cleaning up part, I'm not too sure about it." But by 8:00 last night, I had officially considered myself a PRO. Haha. He threw up SO much. I mopped the floor twice, washed 3 loads of clothes, went through 6-8 different shirts and blankets, and changed his "bed" on the couch probably 6-8 times. It was awful. The hardest part is not knowing when he's going to do it because he couldn't tell me. I got lucky the first few times because he'd come to me holding his belly and I could get him on the kitchen floor or in the trash can but after those few times, it was down hill. Hints the 3 loads of laundry and changing of the clothes/bed. Anyways, Jordan and I are really praying we don't get this bug. We did a lot of cleaning, sanitizing and hand washing all day yesterday. As of right now (24 hours later), we are both feeling ok. But they say you have up to 24 hours after being exposed before you could get the symptoms. Please say a little prayer for us. Neither of us want/need the virus. We all had it last year and it was HORRIBLE!!! Here are some pictures of what our day was like...

I guess I need to catch ya'll up on our weekend. Friday was nice because I had it off. :) Since I just found out I'm expecting, we didn't have any major plans for bringing in the New Year. I made a big pot of soup and we had my sister in law, her kids, and my mother and father in-law over. I know ya'll know I'm a HUGE FSU fan and their bowl game was that night so I spent my time infront of the tv stuffing my face and watching football. FSU did pull off a WIN. It was a nice way to start off my New Year. The saddest part is, I was in bed before 2011 ever came. Jordan told me around 10 p.m. that he was already tired and I then proceeded to tell him "I think this is what happens when you get old!" Haha.
Saturday was my mom's birthday and we were supposed to go to lunch and then to Opryland to see the lights but she was sick with the stomach virus, Harrison had pneumonia and Breeann's mom had came into town last minute. We decided it would be best to cancel and do it another weekend. Since Sunday was the last day before they took down the Christmas lights at Opryland, we decided to load up and go anyways, just the 3 of us. We had a really good time. We had lunch at Red Lobster and headed to Opryland. Since Tuff is older, he really seemed to enjoy it this year. I was a little tired from the weather and was debating on whether or not I wanted to go but after we just decided to go ahead and go, I was glad we did. It's something I'd like to do every year with our family. Hopefully we can make it another tradition. Here are a few pictures from our night... We didn't get one of all 3 of us because it was just the 3 of us.

Sunday we worked on getting the rest of the Christmas decor down. It took us about 2 hours and then we spent the rest of the day relaxing and preparing ourselves for the new work
stressful week.
I did go to the doctor Monday morning for my confirmation appointment. They did confirm I am indeed pregnant. I was 7 weeks yesterday and my estimated due date is August 23rd. We go back on February the 4th to hear the heart beat. I will keep you all up-to-date as I have each appointment.
Hope you all are having a wonderful week. We're already half way through!!! Hallelujah!!!
This is what's helping me get through the week ;) Maybe it'll help ya'll too.
