I haven't posted much on here in the last week, mostly because there was so little post-worthy going on! Right after the wedding we all got struck with the flu, which was miserable! We even got flu shots this year, but apparently we contracted a different strain! We spent the first half of the week taking lots of naps (or taking turns taking naps and watching Chase), doing lots of laundry, and continually sanitizing every surface in the house. I think we are all finally over it now- you always appreciate good health a little more once it has returned after illness!
Other than that, my major project for the week has been getting everything ready for the baby to come! With the holidays and wedding I had done very little to prep for his arrival, including setting up the nursery. Now we have the nursery mostly ready to go and all his little clothes washed and ready! It is so exciting to see it come together and we are getting very excited for this little man to join us!
Friday night my wonderful mom offered to babysit and Ben and I went on a date! Due to our living circumstances in Dominica and the craziness that has been medical school, we have really only been on a handful of dates since Chase was born and we really, really enjoyed being out together! We went to Texas Roadhouse since our favorite waiter was working (Will) and Ben thoroughly enjoyed the roughly 5 rolls he ate prior to his steak even coming! After a yummy dinner we headed to Target to get a few random things we needed before the baby comes (so romantic, I know!) and then very slowly drove home with extremely snowy roads! Chase, I understand, had a blast playing in the snow with his Nana, having the undivided attention of his grandparents while playing with toys, had a good long bubble bath, as many stories as he wanted, and went to bed a happy kid. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy a night out and know that our little boy was well taken care of.

Proof that we went out! It was so fun, we'll have to do it again sometime!
Our silly boy, this is a regular play spot for him :)
Yay for date night and feeling better and getting ready for the baby!
