This Thanksgiving we went to Omaha and spent it with Jared's family as his aunt was in town that we haven't seen in 3-4 years. We got in on Wednesday early afternoon hung out for a bit, got the boys a nap and then had dinner. Thursday we got ready for Thanksgiving and such. As the boys had a cold when we left on Wednesday we didn't think much of it but that it was a cold with a bad cough...will talk more later about this. Thursday was nice to see all the "Bodammers" again, it has been awhile since we have seen them all. We all are so busy with our immediate family and such so usually only see them a couple times a year. This year there were two new babies and one on the way. The boys (especially Landon) love babies! I of course love babies too so I would say Landon (with mommy's help) help baby Oni for at least 30 min, then I held her longer. But yes can you believe a three year old sat still and held a baby for 30 min (it might have been longer, it was awhile). The food was good as always but I didn't stuff myself full full just good! I guess when you are chasing around two active three year olds, that happens huh. They had so much fun with cousins for the last couple of days, it is so fun. It is hard to live away form them but it is also that much more fun and excited for the times we do get to be together. We all wish we could see each other more and spend more time together but I like to be thankful for the times we do get to spend together. After putting the boys to bed and cleaning up from dinner and all, Jared and I went out to a few stores. Jared got a big screen tv and a tablet both for work but really good deals. We got a few other items for gifts and things we needed but nothing to exciting.
Friday we got up and just hung out as Jared went to the Nebraska Iowa game, he was not happy how it ended but was happy and thankful he got to go. The boys and I were going to go to a few stores but Tristan didn't get up until 11 and had a rash on his face, he was just not feeling well. He was up coughing a lot in the early morning and then fell asleep and slept good until 11. His rash was only on his face so I thought that was weird but went to the pharmacy and asked them and gave him Claritin and hoped it worked. Well, he laid down for nap rash looked a bit better but by the time we got home about 6:00 it was worse again. We were not sure what to think so I decided to text our doctor and see his thoughts. I sent him all the symptoms and a picture of his face and he said he thought it was Fifths disease which is viral nothing you can do but just wait it out. But if we had been around anyone pregnant in the last 2-3 weeks to let them know. So then panic set in and I was worried because Jared's cousin's wife was expecting and due any day. I responded to the doctor that I was freaking out becuase of that. He then called me and said it will be ok tell me about the pregnant lady and I did and he said she should be fine it is worrisome for the early pregnant ladies, but to let her know and her doctor. so all in all it was ok and her doctor said it was fine. Thank goodness! Then we had to let everyone know about it for the birthday party that was suppose to be Saturday afternoon and it is almost 9 on Friday night. So I sent a text letting everyone know that Tristan is no longer contagious but what it was and no telling if Jared, myself, or Landon had it but we were still having the party. The doctor said it was fine to have the party and that if we don't have a rash there is no telling if you have it or not to just live your life normal. He said you can't be a hermit and stay home for 2-3 weeks waiting for a rash when you may not get it. So the party went on and we go everything ready tonight for the party. As this sucked to do this again, not sure how many of you remember that last year at this same time they had the stomach flu and strep so we postponed their party a week. With after much consideration and talking to our doctor he assured me that it was fine to have. As some people that were coming decided not to come(and I fully understand that) we decided to have the party!
I will post pictures tonight
My next post will have more on the party!!:)
