I miss my little baby

So Abigail showed us today that she can almost sit up all by herself. What happened to my little baby girl? I am really missing her. I am loving that she is getting so big but I am really missing the itty bitty Abigail.

TVs and Bananas

So dear sweet Noah got his Valentine's Day, Father's Day and Birthday gift yesterday. It was supposed to be here on Friday but they called and said they could not deliver it till Monday. He was mister grumpy butt all weekend long because his "gift" would not be here till Monday. That is all I heard about all weekend long. Well it got here yesterday at exactly 2:00pm. How do I know the exact time you ask? Well Noah called cell phone, texted, emailed and called the office to let me know that his "gift" was here. And this is what his "gift" looks like in my living room.


Yes. I know it is large. It is a 65" HD DLP TV. He has been talking about this TV since Christmas. When we got our tax money back I told him to go ahead and get it. Doesn't it look very pretty sitting there. I am not allowed to touch it though. I am only allowed to touch the remote. I want to know what he is going to do when Abigail becomes mobile? Any suggestions?

As for the bananas. Well I have been trying new foods with Abigail and bananas are a big hit. She eat the whole thing. And when they were gone she gave me a look like well aren't you going to go and get more? So far applesauce, bananas, and sweet potatoes are a hit. We tried squash and well she broke out in hives. I am not sure if it is from the medicine she was on or the squash it self. We will try it again in a month or so.

Yeah I made it though the week!

So I officially made it through my first week back to work and Abigail's first week of daycare. I didn't think that I would do good on Tuesday when she started but I only called once. According to Ms. H she loved it there. Had a blast. She even told me that she should be paying me for her to watch Abigail. Ms. H said that Abigail is such a laid back baby and just goes with the flow. Yuppers that sounds about right (except for when it is time to sleep). The little booger even took a LONG nap for Ms. H.
As for work well it went really good. Except for the fact that I have to fix all the problems that the last girl made. She really messed up on some cases. She didn't do a darn thing since October. I am having to rush around and get things ready for trials that should have been done months ago. But oh well I don't mind it at all.
Noah is upset that his TV didn't make it to the house yet. It is set for delivery on Monday. How did I ever let him talk me into getting a 65" TV? We are having to rearrange the living room so it has a proper place to go. I don't mind the rearranging but I know that I will be doing most of the work. Not so fun. But to tell you the truth I really can't wait for March Madness with the new TV. I will truly be in my glory.

What a weekend....

Wow what a wonderful weekend I had. Not only was it Valentine's Day but I went to Lubbock and to Roswell. Saturday I finally found the mall in Lubbock. If felt so much like home going to a real mall. I miss that about Delaware and sometimes the traffic too. Saturday night Noah, Abigail and I went out to dinner. When we got home I found a dozen red roses and a card waiting for me. My Valentine's gift from Noah is a trip to Vegas in June. I am surprised he could keep it a secret since he has been dying to go there since he moved back home. Noah got a 65" DLP HD Flat screen TV, a PSP and a new game for the Xbox360. Hmmm do you think he is spoiled at all??? Nope not at all he deserves every bit of it.
Sunday we went to Roswell so he could drive his mom's truck back. While we were there we went to Target. God how I have missed Target so much. I have not stepped foot in a Target since July. 6 whole months. I really didn't buy that much. Mostly stuff for Noah and the baby. On our way out of Target we saw a couple selling turtles on the side of the road. So of course Noah stopped and bought me a baby red ear slider turtle. We named him Timmy the Turtle.
And today I went and picked up Abigail's new exosaucer. She loves it. As soon as I put her in it she started squealing and laughing.
Tomorrow I go back to work and Abigail starts daycare. I am not sure if I am ready for this but I really miss working. Abigail is going to be going to a home daycare. I really like Heidi. She is so sweet. We have been going over there to get Abigail used too staying there. I think she really likes Heidi too. As soon as we walk in the door she gets a smile on her face. I am sure I am going to be calling Heidi about 100 times tomorrow to make sure everything is ok. I know she will be fine but it is her first day being away from me for more then an hour. I will post tomorrow on how well we both did.

Never Wash Ni-Night At Bed Time

I learned this valuable lesson tonight. Abigail's favorite blanket (ni-night) was dirty. It had spit up, Amoxicillin, and just about anything else you can think of on it. So since I was already doing a load of laundry I threw it in the wash. Well it didn't occur to me that it was near her bed time when I did this. I tried to give her other blankets but they just wouldn't do. So after an hour and a half of screaming she finally got her ni-night back. She saw me walk in the door with it and just light up. Stopped screaming and is now falling asleep as we speak. It is amazing what a simple blanket can do.

I Know I am Late... But here is my wordless Wednesday

I am a mean mommy

So I decided that Abigail needed a tutu. Well after looking online I found that I didn't want to spend that much money for one. So I looked up how to make them and it was really easy. The first one about swallowed the poor little piglet whole. The second one came out much better. She screamed bloody murder when I first put them on her. But after a few minutes I think she actually liked them. So here are the effects of my tutu making.





And this one is just for cuteness!!!!!!

Stupid ER

So Monday I took Abigail to the ER with a temp of 102.1. We get checked in and all. While in triage I tell the nurse that Noah has RSV and has been sick for 3 weeks. Abigail has been coughing for a week and has been running a fever for the last two days. She tells me that a doctor will see us as soon as possible. That was at 5:00pm. Well at 8:00pm we were still waiting. There really were not that many patients in the waiting room so I am not sure why we were waiting so long. I go up to the nurses desk and ask if they know how much longer. She tells me that they only have one doctor working and that our wait could be up to six hours.

I told them to take our name off the list. I will take Abigail to the doctor in the morning. We left. So Tuesday morning I call Dr. Winters office they make a appointment for today. They tell me to just watch her and if it spikes again to call and her doctor will meet me at the ER.

Today we go to the doctor and poor little piglet has a double ear infection and the start of bronchitis. I am so pissed at the ER. Dr. Winters told me that she should have been seen right away because a) she had a fever b) Noah has RSV and c) Abigail spent her first week in NICU for breathing problems. Also if little piglet was seen Monday night she would have gotten the double ear infection. Her one ear was really bad but the other her doctor told me was the start of an ear infection.

She told me that she would file a complaint against the ER for me. Also if she spikes a fever or her cough gets worse I am to page her and she will personally meet us at the ER. I LOVE DOCTOR WINTERS!!!!!

Also at the same ER on Saturday Noah was having seizures from the meds that they gave him for his RSV. They treated him as if he was a drug addict looking for more drugs. They kept asking him what else he took and we kept telling them only the medicine they gave him. They told us that he had to of used something illegal for him to have the seizures. We ended up walking out and going to Noah's doctor. He had a damn drug interaction. His doctor told us that he should not have been given the original meds (The ER is where he went and was told he had RSV. The doctor there is the one that gave him the damn medicine).
