hack hack cough cough whine

we're getting ready to ditch this place and have two and a half weeks of fun in CA. first we have to get a certain baby feeling better:

he's had a runny nose for a little while and started to cough a bit towards the end of the week, but after ava's fun birthday party on saturday we ran some errands and throughout the afternoon it became apparent that he just wasnt himself. by 4am sunday morning it became apparent that he was sick sick sick. we've been taking shifts ever since. poor amby boy. i'm gonna call the doctor today- this boy needs to be healthy so he can roll around with his hawkins cousins in new port beach!

it sounds like amby and i are suffering from the same ailment. tell him i feel his pain and am empathizing all the way from idaho.

i just talked to betty hawkins and she said isaac has a similar problem in las vegas... it's sweeping the country and taking down baby boys and becca boos in it's path! feel better friend!

Melissa said...

poor boy.

That picture is precious. I sure hope he's feeling better soon!

Stephanie said...

melissa- we are so sad to miss it! we wont be abck until the 12! we'll have to get together then and have a little celebration...

liz- thanks! thomas of course took it (at just the right time to capture the sickness)

Poor baby boy! I hope he gets better for your sanity on the plane ride. We can't wait to see him and his parents.

it's funny to me how you sound excited about traveling. maybe it's living on an island, maybe it's being a stay-at-home mom longer than 4 months, maybe it's because mr. a-man isn't taking 4 naps a day anymore...but i dread it!
dear ambrose, try some echinacea tea. i hear it does wonders but it's really not my thing.

Stephanie said...

oh yeah, travel is all routine now. amby has been on more flights than most his age and before it was awesome because i could nurse him into an oblivion the whole time and now it's not so bad cuz we usually do a red eye so i give him benedryl (as is every mother's sacred right to do so) and he sleeps like...well...a baby the whole flight. plus, anything hard with a child doesnt get to me like it used to. crying? ok. screaming? i'll never see these people again. arching your back? it wont last forever. and then we get to see family and play in the end! hooray!!!

Erin said...

he is still cute, even when he is sick!! and ps. he is looking sooo old. crazy!! i hope i get to see your sweet face/fam when you come to cali!!! did you get pics figured out??

Carrie said...

that is the best picture!

i had the most lovely dream about you and your fam last night. you were delightful and your husband was charming and your ambrose was snuggly with me and happy with my boys. isn't that random? it was but it was just so lovely! sorry, are you nervous that i am dreaming about you now? yikes.

Hey! Are you going to be stopping by good ol' Bakersfield while you're in CA?? Perhaps we could organize an Edwards Cinemas reunion bruncheon! And you know, it's not every day that you get to use the word 'bruncheon'...

I move home August 1st, so the timing just might be right! I officially met Thomas at your Bakersfield wedding reception, but I've never met Ambrose! Wait...you said something about Newport Beach...that's a much more fabulous location for a bruncheon...

Stephanie said...

oh carrie- couldnt be more delighted by this new development in our relationship!

steph- we will most likely be in bakersfield after the first week. the first week starting on the 25th will be in new port and then i think the rest will be in bakersfield

diana palmer said...

come on ambrose, pull through. i hope you don't get it next. my comments lately have been lame because i type them one handed, which somehow reduces my creativity suuply.

StepheLynne said...

HOORAY! Now how does one go about organizing a bruncheon? Where do bruncheons take place? Why am I awake at this ungodly hour? So many questions, so few answers. :)
