So the day we moved back to Rexburg form Pocatello, Levi caught a nasty 24 hour-ish, throwing-up bug. Then Lucas got it. Then I got it at 4 am one morning. This was a few weeks ago, but I believe it was the morning before school started again. Yes, it was, because Levi was in a meeting for him job, which was a Tuesday, and school started on Wednesday. Anyway... I decided to go on campus, despite the stupid bug, so I could get my books while he was on campus at his meeting. I was feeling okay, I had Lucas in the strolled, Via was in the sling, I got to the bookstore, and the basket fit perfectly on the handles of the stroller. We were cruisin'! I got all my books, but of course it was packed, so I think we ran into a few people. Only a few, though :) After the gathering of books was complete, we figured out where the end of the line was (which was a feat in itself), and we stood in line. Lucas was doing fine for the most part; he was a little fussy since we weren't moving much, but still being pretty good. Via was doing pretty well, too. We got through maybe 1/4 of the line, and then I thought, "Oh, no..." I needed to throw up. I thought, "Well, maybe I can wait until we get checked out." Nope. I had to figure out what to do, and I had to do it quick! So I got out of line, I start walking toward the doors (which made it worse), and I knew I wouldn't make it very far. Thankfully there was one of the staff offices close by with a staff lady in it. I made it to her trash can :) I had to leave Lucas outside the door, so then he started screaming bloody murder. Via started fussing a bit more. I wanted to tell the lady "I promise, I'm not pregnant!" but I didn't... She asked if I wanted her to take my books. I said yes and got the crap out of there!
Awesome, right? This is the point where I called my mom and told her I needed her to come up and stay with us for a bit :) She did. She was here for 10 days, and it was a.w.e.s.o.m.e. We are now back in the swing of school, my mom is gone, but hopefully everything will be okay from here on out! Crazy times, I tell ya!
On a cute note: the kids are getting cuter every day! Lucas is constantly giving all of us kisses, including Via. He is such a great big brother! Via smiled at me for the first time this morning as well :) She smiled at my mom while she was here, but hadn't smiled right at me yet, so that was sweet. Lucas is getting past his 3 am screaming phase. The week after we moved he started getting molars and another tooth in, and he also had a sore throat. This resulted in him waking up around 3 every morning and just screaming and screaming! Poor Levi, Lucas would never go to me when this happened. That was a rough week for my boys :( But he is sleeping much better now, and Via is also stretching her sleep out to about 4 hours at night.
Classes are going well. I only have one that is a bit demanding, but I know what to expect out of it now since it is the second half to my MA core classes. I have a test each week in two classes, but no tests at all in my other ones, so it evens out. And I just have to mention that I rocked my first test in MA last weekend!! Hopefully things keep up the way they have started throughout the semester. My PPD is lessening, and my testimony is increasing. I think it will be a good semester :D
