Flickr is having problems uploading my pictures from the trip but I figured I would still check in. We had a wonderful time but I swear playing with a toddler in a different house, different town and on the beach is tiring and I even took my nanny but yes, I am pregnant and so on. I am not bitching because we are so damn lucky to have been at the shore for a week with amazing weather but damn-I definitely do not have the same energy as I did prior to being pregnant.
Max was amazing. He loves the beach and so do we. I let him have frozen yogurt a few nights and he had no reaction. Yeah maybe he is out growing the extreme allergy to cows milk. I am not one to give him cows milk for his milk but it would be nice to give him yogurt if he wanted it. Anyway, so he loves it and of course, who wouldn’t?
Max slept on the beach everyday for about 2 hours except the last day, when he did not nap. I think he missed the tired window and then he would not go down for a nap. I still get frustrated when he won’t sleep even though he is older and can handle a day without a nap but I think I need that time. Even though we took our nanny, I do not have the nanny put him to bed or anything or take him away from us-it is just to have an extra eye and an extra hand. And yes it was nice to have an extra hand to unload the car and help with laundry and all of that stuff. Plus she has become like a family member to us and we love spending time with her. It is nice because I feel like she has become a good buddy. I guess I am lucky like I enjoy her company.
While we were away I realized that I am not eating enough protein at home. For a while Scott was not eating much for dinner-just a salad and Max just eats eggs, brown rice and veggies and so I would eat brown rice and veggies but I was having such low energy and then we went away and I was eating protein for dinner and BAM-my energy came back. So last night I cooked and told Scott that he can eat what I make or not eat it-he ate a whole plate of chicken, yams and asparagus. It was nice to see my man eating my food again and plus I felt great today after having a good meal too.
I think Max has started to say more and yeah but he does not say it over and over. I knew with his personality that he would do it when he could do it perfectly. In Max’s time.
I was happy to be away but it was also nice to come home to our house. I love our house. Max played with every one of his toys yesterday and it was really cute to watch.
I guess it was just nice to get away and have a lot of time as a family. I am a lucky woman. Pictures to post tomorrow hopefully.
