Overdue

Unfortunately Cubby’s 1st Thanksgiving wasn’t exactly what we had hoped it would be, but it was a great day for bonding nonetheless. Poor little guy slept in until 9am Thanksgiving morning, which was our first sign that he wasn’t feeling well. Normally he’s up between 7-7:30am. We checked on him a few times and he was sound asleep, so we just let him get the rest he obviously needed. Once he did wake up, he spent the next few hours throwing up, refusing food, and acting very lethargic (despite the 15 hrs of sleep he got). He had no other symptoms, no fever, etc., so we weren’t sure what was causing him to feel so bad. He just wanted to be held and cuddled, so that’s how we spent our morning.

His Gramps was working in Norfolk last week, so he stopped by the house around 11am. He brought Cubby a Sit & Spin, which perked our boy up a little bit for a few minutes and we were able to get a few cute photos of him having fun. Noon rolled around and he was out like a light, so he missed the wonderful Thanksgiving lunch his Grandma prepared. He slept until 4pm and was finally able to get a little food in his system around 5:30. Most of that 1.5 hrs was spent being held by mommy, daddy or grandma. Gramps headed back to Norfolk around 2pm, so Cubby didn’t have a chance to say goodbye to him.

Fortunately he woke up Friday feeling a little better, but then mommy started feeling sick AGAIN and I’ve been miserable ever since. Hence, the lack of posting on my part. Sorry folks! Next post will include photos of Cubby’s first Thanksgiving.

The enormous blessings in our lives far outweigh Cubby’s first Thanksgiving not going exactly as I envisioned it. I have so many thoughts about all we have to be thankful for, and it deserves a post of its own. So, I’ll end this post for now. I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving Holiday!
