Ahhhh!

So I'm finally feeling better! Thanks to my wonderful mother-in-law! I couldn't ask for a better one!! I'm very lucky, I mean blessed! Oh yeah, my boo boo is 5 months old today. I can't believe it. Wow, time really does fly. You always hear people say that, but I don't think you fully get it until you have a child and see how quickly they grow. What a blessing from God children are! I love him more than I can describe!

UGH!

How can it be 9:30 am and I'm already having a terrible day :( ? Maybe I'll get into it one day on here, but then again.....do you really want to be involved in unnecessary drama? I know I don't! It seems to find me no matter what these days. Can't miserable people leave us "happy" people alone and go be miserable by themselves? Guess not!

Fun, Fun, and A Follower!

So this past weekend was very busy but awesome! We had so much fun (even though we didn't see the Easter Bunny :( booohoo). Friday Adam was off for Good Friday and it was his birthday. He enjoyed resting and then we went out to eat with his mom, dad, and little brother Gabe. We went to Shogun because Gabe LOVES to watch them cook in front of you. It was really good. I wasn't sure how the baby was going to react to all the loud noises and fire, but he was fine. He was actually pretty intrigued. The only thing that scared him were the balloons that Adam's mom had brought. Don't you just wonder what's going on in their little heads?! Saturday we went over to Adam's parent's house all day. Adam needed to work on his car and motorcycle so I hung out with his mom and brother. Gabe and I jumped on the big trampoline for hours (I felt it the next day....I'm old!). I got a little sunburned, that should tell you how pale I am! Haha! Sunday we woke the baby up so he could see what the Easter Bunny had brought him. He racked up; he got some candy, a bunny, two movies, and four outfits. If only he understood...:). Then we went to church, it was a wonderful sermon! After that we went to Adam's Mamaw's house. The kids hunted eggs and we all ate some great food! By the time we got home we were all pooped! It was a long day. It took me and the baby all day yesterday to recover! What a wonderful Easter. Thank you Lord for sending your son to die for us! What an awesome God!

Now for the second part of this post. I finally have a follower! YAY! Leslie, you're awesome! I'll be following yours too!!!

Neighbors!!!

Can I just say that I really can't stand our noisy neighbors!!! UGH! Get me out of this apartment....please! The baby finally went down for a nap and now they are banging around up there and he's about to wake up!!!!! "Lord, grant me patience with these people....please!". By the way, yesterday was a total nightmare in "mommy world"! The baby would not take a nap. He was up from 9 am until 9:30 pm. He fell asleep for like 10 minutes twice. He was SO cranky!! Poor thing! Today's been pretty much the same way until about 30 minutes ago. He finally went down and now those neighbors are about to wake him up. Now you know why I'm so mad!!! HA!

Just had to vent! Haha!

Great Weekend!

So we had an awesome weekend. Adam got off early on Friday (YAY, that never happens) and we just sat around and spent time together. On Saturday we did our grocery shopping, came home and napped, and then Adam decided that we should take Easter pics of the baby. So we packed up all the necessities and went over to this beautiful area that had all the gardenias in full bloom. We definitely were not the only ones who had that idea.....the place was packed with babies, families, and brides getting their pictures taken. So we found us a spot and snapped away. The baby cooperated pretty well, he just would not smile! He's definitely not a "smile on demand" baby! Oh well, the pictures turned out great. What a cutie he is!!! But I am pretty partial to him! Then on Sunday we went to church. After church our Sunday school class had a potluck lunch and Easter egg hunt. We really enjoyed ourselves! It was great to mingle and talk to all the other families in our class. The baby LOVES to be outside, so he enjoyed it too. But of course, the weekend came to an end. Now the baby's allergies are flaring back up from being outside all weekend! UGH! Poor thing! I think I've decided that this rash and everything he's been having lately is definitely allergies. He seemed fine until we had him outside. Now he's coughing and he has a snotty nose. Yew! Lets hope this pollen goes away and he gets over this soon!

Easter Bunny

Ok, so I really want to take the baby to see the Easter Bunny! Maybe this weekend. We'll see how it goes. We took him to see Santa at Christmas. He was only one month old, so he didn't know what was going on. We strolled him around the mall until he woke up and then we threw him up there at Santa so he would be awake during the picture. Of course when he was that little if his eyes opened he was hungry. So he has the FUNNIEST look on his face in the Santa picture. He looks half asleep and like he's about to scream. Maybe the Easter Bunny one will go a little better!

* The baby seems to be better today. He hasn't had a fever or anything. I'm starting to think that maybe he's teething!

Lets Try This Again.....

Ok, so I decided to start this and then I fell off the wagon. Soooo...lets try this again. Last night I was awaken by my baby crying :(. I went in to check on him and his eyes were still closed, so I didn't want to wake him. This happened on and off all night until his daddy finally got him out of bed at about 6:30. When he brought him in our room, he was hot. I could tell just by feeling him that he had a temp. So I immediately freaked (of course, that's what I do best). Adam stayed calm (that's what he does best..haha..that's why we work so well together) and took his temperature. It was 99.9 under his arm. I've always heard to add 2 degrees when you take it under the arm, so in my mind his temp. was 101.9 (WOW!). We gave him some Tylenol and I took him to his doctor as soon as they opened at 8:30. By the time we got there he had developed a rash on his face (poor baby). She looked him over and really couldn't find anything wrong with him. She said it could be allergies but she wants to make sure before putting him on any medicine. So anyway, I have to put some cream on his face, stop feeding him squash (that's our veggie of the week), and watch his temp. If it gets up above 101, I have to call her and let her know. From there they'll have to do blood work on him. So please keep my baby in your prayers. Lets hope it's nothing big! This kind of stuff probably wouldn't bother me but when he was born he had to be put in the NICU for a week because he had breathing problems. That was the worst experience of my life. I don't know how moms and dads with babies in the NICU for months get through it! Only through the comfort of the Lord!

*We got home around 10:00 and he's been sleeping ever since.......sweet, sweet baby.
