The flu wasn't very fun. It was Asa's first time. He is still on anti-biotics. I just have to take the nebulizer. It's amazing how terrible a bug can make you feel. It's been a week of this and hopefully it's about to be lifted from our home. Mark went back to work yesterday and thankfully wasn't touched by the flu. He was an amazing homemaker and nurse. He really surprised me with how attentive he was. He did the laundry dishes, made the meals brought me all my meds and made sure Asa got his as well. He is amazing :)
I have a lot of packing to do, only about 5 weeks left of this place. I have no energy or else I would be further along in the packing department.
I went to my PCP on monday and she checked me out. She is the sweetest doctor ever...seriously. She knows my OB and I was able to talk to her about some concerns with my umbilical hernia and pregnancy. Looks like I am going to go through a normal birth(God willing) and have my stomach fixed 6-8 weeks down the road. She reassured me about recovery time and the surgeon she would reccommend and I feel much better now.
We are leaning toward renting again. At this point I think we ran out of time to buy. Plus I don't really want to get involved in the stress of homebuying right before giving birth....We really haven't seen any homes we've liked anyway.
My grandfather's 80th birthday is this Saturday. There's going to be a party for him. I wanted to go to the Italian Market this week and buy him some goodies, but unfortunately i haven't been out of the house. I love the italian Market. Claudio's is a great store for olives and cheese and deli meats. The people who work there are so nice and friendly. Whenever we go down to the Italian Market(me and the same friends each time) we always go the Chinatown before hand for Dim Sum. It's a great time!! I love Dim Sum, but I usually eat just the kinds with shrimp...
I went to a Culinary Workshop with my mother-in-law last week. That was a lot of fun. They taught us how to make this amazing homemade bbq sauce. It was SO yummy! The chef taught us how to make boneless country style ribs from chuck roll. I learned alot and had a belly full of angus beef when I left. We also made this indian style chili which was outstanding!! I learned about Arrowroot being a better base for gravy than flour or corn starch..that was interesting. I also learned that McCormick spices discontinued Arrowroot...lol
Asa would like some Honey Bunches of Oats.

Oh no! Sorry to hear you all have been sick! Glad that Mark was able to stay home and nurse you all back to health. 3/6 of us (not me thankfully but Nathan had it) were sick through last weekend but are doing much better now. Happy b-day to you g-pa!! I'd love to go to the Italian Market with you sometime. I've only been once since we've lived in PA. That culinary workshop you went to sounds cool. Can you be persuaded to share the bbq sauce recipe?
