Baby Slings

I love baby wraps and slings. Especially since my Little Rowan is only 11 months and her favorite place to be right now is in my arms. Rockin baby slings have some pretty stylish slings, that suit my taste quite nice.

The good and the bad

Well I didn't make it through that day, I ended up taking myself to the ER. The intense headache along with the 103 fever was just to much for me! A very long wait was followed by two shots in the buttocks for nausea and headache and some Tylenol for the fever. After About 6 hours in the ER I finally went home with a prescription of Antibiotics for a sinus infection, which I am pretty certain I don't have. So as of now I am still fighting off constant fevers. I'll be going to my regular doctor tomorrow to hopefully get some answers.

Here are some better things to think about.

Nick got Internet in his room and I was finally able to see his face while we talked. It is so fun to be able to chat with him more often and for him to be able to see me and the girls.

Me and Cameron make a pair of pretty cool cats!

Couldn't resist the naked baby again. She takes her
diaper off any chance she can get.
Cameron Loves soy beans. She ate that whole bowl, and had a good time making a "mountain" out of the pea pods.

Sick again

We are all sick. I'm the worse though. It started last Wednesday. I got a bad fever that Night, the kind where you feel like you are freezing, even though its actually hot, and your body just hurts so bad. So I took one of Nicks 800mil ibuprofen. Which eventually got the fever down. Then Cameron started getting fevers the next day. I wake up in the morning and Begin to get a fever , I hopefully take something before it hurts to bad then the fever is slow to come back but surely enough, by the evening I start feeling feverish again and I have to take another Ibuprofen. I am going on the 5th day of this. Today I woke with a real bad fever and an even worse headache, It was so bad I almost took myself to the hospital, but once the Ibuprofen kicked in I began thinking I could handle it until tomorrow when I could get to my doctors office. Did I mention I also have a real bad sore throat? Cameron's Fevers seemed to have stopped yesterday then Rowan woke last night with a fever. It pretty much sucks to be sick especially when I have two kids to take care of by myself. hopefully these fevers stop soon.

Making it all work

I worked out with my personal trainer the last two days in a row. I am so sore! I am sore in places I have never been sore before. It really makes me feel out of shape, but good to to be working on getting back in shape. In a strange way It feels good to be sore, I suppose because It makes me feel accomplished. When I work out I get to drop the kids off in the kids club right there in the gym, It's kind of like mama time. The down side to it is that the moment I set Rowan down she cries and looks at me like she's begging me not to go, then cries for about 30 to 40 minutes until they decide to call me in to take her. And of course the moment I pick her back up she stops crying. Rowan is soooo attached to me, I cant even go to the bathroom without her crying or following me in. It makes me feel very loved by her, however I would just love to at least get a good hour workout, before being called back. I wonder how I can help her be okay without me for just a little. I guess she just needs a little more time to work on it.

Here are some things to be grateful about:

Cameron is finally, completely Potty trained, she's even dry through the night,
Nick get's his leave sometime in August which is next month!
I have some pretty cool friends, And am still meeting and connecting with new people all the time,

So there is much to be grateful for!

Not again!!

Yesterday I went to Austin for this "half way party" (half way through deployment) for Nicks troop, which was not all that exciting. There was only a few family's there. but it was good to get out. And I got to stop at Ikea which I don't get to do often. Also yesterday evening I started feeling a little breast tenderness which I at the time figured was because I hadn't nursed Rowan on that side to much that day. Then I awoke in the middle of the night to feel that all to familiar feeling of Mastitis. So I have yet another breast infection! When will this end. I must have had about 5 since I first began nursing Rowan 10 month ago. Oh the things we endure for our children For anyone who has never experienced this. Basically as my mid wife put it, you feel as if you have been run over by a truck. I usually wake in the middle of the night with chills and body aching followed by a fever. Thank God that this was not one of the worst ones I have experienced. I was actually able to get myself to the doctors first thing this morning and on Antibiotics by 10:00am. I have had them so bad that I could hardly move, fortunately Nick was still here at the time to get me to the doctor and take care of the kids.

On a better note. While I was waiting in line at the pharmacy There was this sweet old lady behind me that was chatting with Cameron a bit about her cute little sister. She asked Cameron "Do you help feed your sister?" and Cameron's reply was "No I don't have breasts yet" hahahaha the Woman thought that was pretty funny as did I.

The unusual post man

while I was away for the month of May I put my mail on hold, and checked the box on the form that said resume mail delivery after the specified date, being the 4th of June. So on the 7th of June I thought I better go to the post office and collect the mail myself. So once down at the post office the postal worker checked in the back for my stack of mail. When he returned he had the original mail hold form I had filled out. He said he had found it in my post mans garbage can, so if I hadn't already received my mail that it may be delivered that day. I asked him, is it unusual for mail of that sort to take a few days for delivery (for future reference) and this was his reply, mam have you seen your post man?" and my response was "no" then he says "he is unusual"

So I wonder what strange and unusual things I can expect for future mail delivery.

Why are naked babys so darn cute?

I just had to share it with you.
