It<br \/>\n    was great. We hung out and did nothing for most of the day :)<br \/>\n    Made apple cinnamon scones for breakfast (yummy), took a nap,<br \/>\n    and just relaxed. Lex was really fussy in the morning and has<br \/>\n    been off and on for a few days now and not sleeping well. He<br \/>\n    also developed overnight a red spot on his lip that looked like<br \/>\n    the beginnings of a cold sore (I&#8217;m prone to them, so he may be<br \/>\n    as well). I thought that might explain the fussiness. I called<br \/>\n    the pedi yesterday morning and the nurse said there wasn&#8217;t much<br \/>\n    they could do at the moment, but told me to watch it and see if<br \/>\n    it got worse, or if he got a fever or stopped eating. He ended<br \/>\n    up taking two really good naps and by evening he was happy and<br \/>\n    the spot was even starting to fade. Soo&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We took Grandma and Grandpa (the two Gs) up on their offer<br \/>\n    to babysit and Alan and I went out to dinner and shopping. We<br \/>\n    dressed up (Alan was eager to since it&#8217;s been ages since he&#8217;s<br \/>\n    worn nice clothes) and while we waited for food I told Alan<br \/>\n    everything I&#8217;ve learned so far about nursing school. I was<br \/>\n    feeling sort of stuck in my progress so it was great to talk<br \/>\n    with him, get his feelings on things, and now I have a path to<br \/>\n    continue down. Good times. Then we went shopping at Penney&#8217;s. I<br \/>\n    got a gift card from my mom (Mom, it came on time!! Thanks!!)<br \/>\n    which was awesome because I really need some clothes. I was<br \/>\n    trying on jeans (need them) and looking at shirts (need them)<br \/>\n    when I remembered that what I really need is a winter jacket<br \/>\n    (really need). So I ended up with a snazzy gray peacoat, red<br \/>\n    gloves, and a nice sweater. <\/p>\n<p>We got a<br \/>\n    call from Grandpa just as we were finishing shopping saying<br \/>\n    that Lex was crying inconsolably and they were getting worried<br \/>\n    about him. It was great timing to call since we were almost on<br \/>\n    our way home anyway. So we paid quickly and rushed back to get<br \/>\n    Lex. When we got there he was sleeping in Grandpa&#8217;s lap in the<br \/>\n    recliner and it was the most perfect thing ever. I was kicking<br \/>\n    myself for not having a camera. (I really, really need a built<br \/>\n    in eyeball camera. That would be super convenient!) So we hung<br \/>\n    out for a while and chatted and let him doze. It was beautiful.<br \/>\n    When he woke up he was all smiles again. We took him home,<br \/>\n    nursed him, and he went right to bed (of course it was 11:15pm<br \/>\n    by this time &#8211; way past bedtime!). So a good day was had by<br \/>\n    all. <\/p>\n<p>Oh, I can&#8217;t forget my funnest<br \/>\n    present &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.palm.com\/us\/products\/handhelds\/tx\/?creativeID=LMFB|TX_20051011\" target=\"_new\">a new palm TX<\/a>. I told Alan I wanted<br \/>\n    a new palm and he&#8217;s had a great time for the past few months<br \/>\n    researching all the options and finding me the best one. It&#8217;s<br \/>\n    like a present for both of us :) I love it. It&#8217;s got a huge<br \/>\n    color screen, wi-fi so I can get Internet access in lots of<br \/>\n    places, new programs, etc. It&#8217;s awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, yesterday anyway.
