She's a Cupcake!

Just wanted to post some new pictures before her 1st birthday!

What the hell?

I have a quick question to anyone that would like to answer... What the hell is up with all these husbands loosing their jobs then going home and killing their family? You know what I think? Just because they can't handle the fact of loosing their job doesn't give them the right to go postal on their families. Kill yourself you dumb-ass not your family. This is the fourth story I have heard of men doing this in the past month. It's starting to piss me off. What assholes. Sorry for the language it's getting the best of me.

The pups!

I know that since Leah has come along they have been put to the side. I still love them and just wanted to post a cute picture! I took it the other night of the three of them!

And they call it a ear infection.

Okay. For the past two days Leah has been struggling with a fever. At first I thought, no big deal. I'll give her some of her baby Tylenol and she'll be fine! It's only her teething all babies get them. Well after giving her Tylenol for 2 days and see no change at all I start to believe this isn't her teething. She seemed to be eating and drinking okay. No change there? She still gives me them cute little smiles here and there? What can it be? But then again it's not like Leah to stop playing with her toys to come crawling over to mommy and lay down. I knew something was wrong.

I decided to take her temperature once again. After freaking out when it read 101.9. something I thought to myself, that's it I can't take it anymore we are going to the doctor's right now. Her little face looked so out of it. Bryan and I loaded her up and took her into the urgent care right around the corner from the house.

After getting her signed in and waiting in the lobby I thought to myself... Should we be here? Am I just having one of them first time mommy freak outs? Maybe I'm just overreacting? I would hate to drag Leah out just to pick up something else in these kind of places. Because we all know we hate to touch anything in a doctor's office in fear that we'll end up with something else in return.

Ahhh! Finally the nurse calls us back! Now we can try and get to the bottom of all of this. After telling the nurse why my poor little baby has been battling a temperature for the past two days with no improvement at all. She decided to check her temperature once again. But this time it was going to be in the rectum. O nice Leah is going to love this. Surprisingly she did great. All I heard was 103. something... What! OMG that is so high. My poor little baby. She was so tough through it all. I would have never guessed it to be that high.


About 3 minutes later the doctor walks in the door. "Hello what's going on?" after telling the doc what was going on for the past few days he tells us some of the things that it could be and what he has seen in some of his patients in the past few weeks. After taking his ear thingy out and shoving it down Leah's first ear she had decided she no longer wanted any part of him. So daddy and I had to be the bad guys by holding her down for the second ear. He looked her over a little more and then said. "Well that left ear is pretty red, looks like a ear infection." " I am going to go ahead and give her a round of antibiotics. Check with your pediatrician in about 10 days to make sure everything has cleared up."

Ahh! We got a answer! After picking up here medications at the CVS we get home! I get in the door and first things first! Give Leah her medicine. Around ten thirty the fever finally breaks! Yay! I hope it's good from here on out! Next time I'm not going to second guess myself. I am so glad we took her in.

My baby is almost one!

Wow! I can't believe that Leah is going to turn one next week! Time sure does fly by! I'm sad and happy all wrapped up in one... Watching her from the precious little baby to now watching her grow into a toddler! I know I will miss her baby days... The tiny little cry she would let out when she wanted her bottle. Watching her look around at the world for the first time. Her delicate little smile she would give us! I know I will miss it, but in the past couple of months it has been so fun to watch her learn and grow! She is now like a sponge! Soaking everything in that we teach her! Everyday brings something new! I love it!

She truly has been such a blessing! Now that we have become parents, life is so much more fun! We have a beautiful little face to wake up to every morning! Motherhood sure does change a girl! From the laughter to the tears it's all worth it in the end! It only makes me want to have more! Okay maybe just one more! She's not a teenager just yet! Older moms have warned me about the teenage years! From what they say it can be scary! But I'll enjoy right now and so far we have had a blast! I ask how good is our God? And I answer! Awesome! Thank you Jesus for give us this beautiful little baby girl!

Leah and her first lollipop!

Crohn's strikes again...

Just wanted to let everyone that I have not forgot about you... Been having some problems with my Crohn's Disease... I just got out of a seven day stay at the Cleveland Clinic. They were treating me for sever dehydration. Still have some more testing and will keep you all updated... I hope to be up and feeling better real soon! I will write more when I am feeling up to it! Thank you everyone for your prayers!

About our little one!.. She is doing great! She knows what a cow is and knows where the clocks are in the house. Loves patty cake too! Grandma just started teaching her how to count... We count from 1-5 and she is really good at saying the number five! Too cute! And I'm guessing walking is right around the corner! I will try and put up some new videos soon!

Hope everyone enjoys this Valentines day!
