First spend the night trip with Kale

so Friday afternoon Ryan, Kale, and I headed to Valdosta after Ryan's doctor appointment which went well by the way. Everything looks like it is healing up correctly and the bone will soon start to grow over the screws and will be fused together. He started work today, and his back didn't bother him today, which was really good. Not to mention I am finally getting to sleep with my husband, he had been sleeping in the guest bedroom because that mattress is a little firmer and finally he is back in our bed. I feel like I have a husband again instead of a roommate haha :) Anyways we left for atlanta around 4:45 and Kale was good getting in his carseat, normally he fusses getting in. Some babies like their carseats and some don't. Kale is definitely the half that does not like it so much. He did so good the whole ride down there, he didn't fuss hardly at all except when he had a wet diaper and when he wanted to eat and he always gets fussy as he gets tired. He didn't really full blown start crying until right before we got there and he had just had enough of his carseat. I mean I get tired of being in the car so I am sure he does too. He was just really ready to get out.

We made really good time for having a baby in the car too. We got there in about 4 and a half hours, which was super good. We went inside and Jayden was so excited to see Kale. She pointed to his picture on the fridge and told me shh...that is what we tell her when Kale is sleeping. It was so cute. She immediately wanted to hold him and love on him. She loves katering to him, covering him up, wanting to put his passy in his mouth. Anything and everything she can do. We hung out with my parents for about an hour and then my mom watched Kale and Jayden so Ryan, Justin, Amber and I could go to McCrays, its a new bar in the square of Lawrenceville and I have wanted to go there since it opened but could not because I had kale in my belly.

It was nice to be able to hang out with my sister and Justin too. We have never really done anything just the four of us so it was good times. McCrays was a little pricey. I mean a 16 oz cup of beer was like 5$ and their menu was a little pricey too but Ryan didn't mind. He said we never get out and for me to get whatever I wanted and to have fun. We definitely did have a good time. We went home around 1 and I laid in the bed with my sister and Jayden and slept until the boys were ready to go to bed and then Ryan came and got me. In the room we sleep in at my parents it is kind of tiny and so Kale's pack and play couldn't fit in the room so he slept in my parents room. I kind of felt bad because I didn't want my mom to have to get up with him but I didn't know what to do. I didn't sleep in the next morning. I am so used to getting up with Kale I woke up and went in the room to check on him. My mom said he went to bed around 11:30 and slept until 8 woke up and ate and went back down until about 9:45 which is when I went in there. He probably would have slept later but I went to get into the bed and my parents have a water bed and I am sure the whole moving thing woke him up. Kale has been sleeping great we are really lucky. We put him down at about 11 and he sleeps till 7 wakes up, eats, and goes back down until 10. That is amazing, because he isn't even three months until next week. I mean we really could not ask for a better baby. The boy is wonderful!

Saturday we got to hang out with the family for a little bit and then had to get ready for Reba's wedding. We were running late, go figure but got there in time. Her wedding was so beautiful. It was definitely the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen pictures of or been to. She definitely was a beautiful bride as well. It was so nice seeing the old mellow crew. The people I had so many good memories with and hung out with for 3 years. It was like we had never been apart we just picked up right where we left off. We definitely had a good time however we got a hotel room because we didn't want to drive home after drinking and it was so hard because that was the first time I have ever left Kale over night. I kept thinking about him and talking about him. Everyone I am sure was like geeze can she talk about something other than her son, but no I can't he is my life and is so wonderful. I called my mom the next morning when we woke up and she said he had slept wonderfully again. We really are lucky because a lot of babies don't like new places and get freaked out and sleep horribly but he slept wonderful, just as good as he does at home. That also makes me feel better about taking him to the beach in a couple weeks at least I know I won't be sleep deprived. He also slept great in his pack and play which is another good thing.

At my parents house we put him in his bumbo because he loves to sit up on the couch its like he knows he is doing something that is a big boy thing and it just makes him feel so good. He loves the bumbo. He just smiles away when he is sitting in it. It makes him so happy.
