Reading books....

Listen carefully for her 'HO HO HO!' towards the end. Who cares that Christmas was months ago... She is INTO this book! ;).

Fleumonia

Yep, our sick lil' munchkin has this awful concoction. Type B Flu and a pneumonia. What a rough rough road it's been and will continue to be but she came out of me fighting and will always be a fighter. Poor little thing. I would like her to stop fighting US so hard on these breathing treatments though. Bless her, she hates them. HATES.THEM. She used to do great with them and did really well with the first, and ONLY the first one, at the doctor yesterday, but not since. Not sure what happened but these are the worst part of it all. She was completely fine over the weekend, then Monday evening came and things went downhill in a hurry. Poor baby. I cried more than she did at the Dr yesterday. We were there for 5 straight hours. Back to back breathing treatments, oral steroid, antibiotic shot in BOTH her legs, (these shots hurt so bad that they have lidocaine actually in the syringe to numb the area where the shot is injected) chest X-Ray, pulse-ox 3 different times.. It was hell. She's improving but still super sick. Please pray this tamiflu and steroids/antibiotics kicks this SH*T to the curb and FAST! I hate you fleumonia! :(

Everyone who reads this blog knows that my baby NEVER sits still unless she's napping or sleeping so for her to lay in the below positions for minutes at a time is earth shattering. Brian and I for sure know she doesn't feel good when she does things like this.





Trying to find a smile and we succeeded!




My mother in law got her this nap sack for Christmas and its been perfect.






At the doctor, waiting....


Still waiting... On flu results. Snatched up another smile ;)


Back to back breathing treatments...


5 hours of this crap, I'd be out too. Poor thing, I'm tearing up rehashing all of this for the blog... Awful. Nothing worse than a sick baby. Nothing.


Last night she wanted to sit in daddy's chair.


My husband has been incredible during all this. He has cancelled patients this week to stay home with her so I could go to work, he calms me down when I freak out, he lets me cry and do crazy mother things..,,he's just great. Thanks for being my rock babe. I couldn't be the person, mother, or parent I am today without you!

Here's to a healthy baby very soon!!!

Fun weekend with my In-Laws!!!

Say what?? Mamy and Slick are coming?!?!?!? Yes!!!!




Loving her mamy! She can say it and Slick perfectly now. So cute!!




Bubba's fried chicken and a booster! How is it my baby is big enough for a booster?!?!? No possible way! Slow down muffin!




Amy's famous coconut cream pie. Probably one of, if not THE BEST coconut cream pies ever! So good! I took thorough notes as she was making it but I doubt I'll ever be able to compare.




Thanks for a fun weekend, y'all. Safe travels home today. See y'all in a few weeks.
Cheers,

Heart Day

I am not a fan of Valentines day. Like, at all. Never have been, never will be. It's a silly holiday, everything's over priced, traffic is awful, people are mean, Target's picked over,....I just really dislike the day. However, having a baby has really changed this day for me and now I like it.

Brian went and got Cam her valentines day gift from us yesterday and did really well! I've been slammed at work so he went. What would I do without him?!?! He got her this little stuffed monkey and a Minnie Mouse valentines T-shirt. So cute and she loved it!!!












Brian went to pick Cameron up from daycare yesterday and all the kids were talking about their 'valentimes.' Brian then realized we need to bring such 'valentimes' to school tomorrow. Had we planned on this? Nope! So, my precious hubby and baby load up from school and off to Albertson's they go. He had already been to Target once yesterday and wasn't risking his life again so he randomly chose Albertson's. Luckily he found some good finds for Cams friends and we stuffed 'valentimes' last night while we ate dinner. My how times have changed!!! ;). It was fun though and all for those sweet little dumplins!

Here's all the loot he got for the kids. I just love that I have a husband who will go and run errands like this without complaining. I actually think he enjoyed himself. He really likes helping me out and I couldn't be more thankful!!!





Then, as if that wasn't sweet enough....I get out of the shower this morning and find this on my vanity. You're too much babe. Thank you!!! You know I hate this holiday but still find a way to make me smile. Love you lots!!!




Cheers,
Lindley

Heavy Heart

I've had a lot of things weighing heavy on my heart lately and to respect the privacy of others and myself, I won't be specific, but man--I'm ready for some good news. I know He has a plan for all of us, but sometimes his delivery could be a little better. ;) I know it's not His intention to blindside us with life changing events, and I know everything happens for a reason, I just wish I had answers. I have been and will continue to pray for guidance. For all 7 of my avid readers, ;o) if you could say a little prayer for us and our loved ones who are seeking guidance as well I would really appreciate it.
On another, more positive note.... this little hat-wearing poptart sure makes our days brighter. She's never liked hats or wanted anything to do with hats... Until Saturday. I think she would sleep in hats if I'd let her! She's so funny. ;)
She wants it on the second she gets up...still in her PJ's




And, at lunch...




This video is of Cameron just being Cameron. My mom hasnt seen her in a really long time due to her surgery so I try to send videos often. She makes me smile. If it's not a hat it's a necklace. She napped in this necklace by the way. ;). Love her!!


Have a great week, all!!

Proud mommy moment

When I dropped Cameron off at Debi's yesterday morning she proceeded to tell me how good Cam is each and everyday, that she plays really well with others, isn't aggressive or controlling, never causes problem, is so sweet and loving, all the kids like her... she just raved at how good of a baby she is.

Melt.My.Heart. Brian and I really do try our absolute best to be the best parents we can be so to see others notice makes it all worth it. There's truly nothing more amazing than being a mommy to this precious munchkin.

Trivial Pursuit Butt-Kicking and Superbowl Sunday

We went to the Hale's Saturday night for some of Mike's yummy 'Q' and I just have to brag on Team Herring seeing how Team Hale seems to always gang up on us. We totally whooped their hineys and I loved every second. Linds and I are pretty competitive like that so our game nights are serious. ;) I give y'all an A+ for effort and good food! Haha! Love y'all--thx for a fun night.

I just had to take a pic of this... Cam LOVES going to 'play with the boys' and goes down over there so easily. Lindsay always has the pack n play and noise machine up for me and Cam goes right down. I take our monitor with me everywhere I go and the Hale boys could watch her for hours. It's precious. ;)


While B and I were home baking 'football turnover' and 'pizza rolls' .....(the first turnover turned out, but the rest? Not so much! We got lazy and decided to use the rest of the dough and make one big turnover)....






My friend Heather and her fiance, Brad, are doing this..........

Their suite at the Super Bowl. Brads company has just a few perks.



AJ McCarron and his girlfriend


Diner's Drive-Ins, and Dive's baby!!!



Erin Andrews!!!
