Mama What?

Well, we survived our wedding weekend...and by "we" I mean "I". 

I had little energy to spare after two days of get-togethers but I managed to make it work long enough to even attempt a dance, a la MIA at the Grammys, at the wedding.

Here are a few of the pics:

I know what you're asking yourself...has Trav gone Amish? And the answer is no...but he certainly hasn't shaved (or even trimmed) his facial hair for WEEKS much to my dismay. However on Thursday he has agreed to go get a shave and haircut while he's back in NYC. Hopefully he finds a barber down here in FL that he trusts because I did not marry a bear. Or so I thought.

On to more random updates:

--Now the wedding is over, I have lots of little details to tend to -- Dr's appts for Hunter and myself, finding a decent shoe repair place (a lost service down here as no one walks anywhere -- it's not a pedestrian city), calling and catching up with my WNY Moms, getting Hunter into a more routine play-date schedule, pre-registering at my OB's hospital, continuing our new home search, and planning fun events for the next 3 weekends (my 30th, our Anniv, and Mother's Day). 

--I also want to start swimming more regularly since the weather is warming up -- as is our pool. Hunter loves it in the water and will be learning Drowning Prevention techniques this summer since we're surrounded by pools, lakes, and oceans living down here. 

--I've been cooking and baking once per week -- which is the most my mom will let me get away with -- and have tried some new yummy recipes too! I'll start posting them when I can...

--Hunter had his first trip to the ER on Monday night at 3am! He took a tumble down a few stairs and seemed fine but when he woke up in the middle of the night crying and touching his head, we feared the worst. So Mom & I took him in to the ER -- we were in and out in less than an hour -- and all is well, thankfully. It just was a precursor of what's to come with two little active boys who have no fear...the joys of motherhood.

--I take my glucose test on Friday (for Gestational Diabetes). They suggested I eat a candy bar before I come in. I am seriously spreading the word about this because in NJ they told me you can opt out of the nasty syrup drink and eat jellybeans instead and here they told me you can either eat 150 carbs of a candy bar or mix the syrup with soda. I feel like it is my duty to tell all preggy women I see that these are alternatives. When I took my test with Hunter, I ended up in the ER from dehydration b/c the glucose syrup made me so sick. Please spread the word -- you can eat CANDY!!! :) Yum.

--We are still house-hunting but we're taking it slower than we initially planned because Trav is working on a Consulting job that could determine our plan of action (whether we stay in FL or move back to NY or...). So with that up in the air, we don't want to buy something small right away (like a condo, which is what we had planned) if we end up living here (because we would need a larger home.)

--Hunter starts part-time daycare on Monday, May 4th. Stay tuned for emotional posts...
