Better Late than Never!!!

Okay, so I am a little late in posting this, but I figured better late than never. So, Molly my younger sister turned 21 this past Wednesday and I just wanted to say

Happy 21st Birthday too you!!

I hope you have had an awesome week and I hope the party last night was everything you wished for. Love you.

It's Almost Over

Well this weekend is almost over and I could not be more ready. We started off Friday with Halle having her tubes put in and everything went well. She is recovering rather well. Saturday we dealt with her fussiness all day. Saturday night, I got sick with obviously a 24 hour bug. About 9pm that night I started throwing up and had an upset stomach too. It was horrible. I woke up this morning and decided to stay home from Church and re coop. Why is it when you get sick, it takes all the energy you have with it? My dad called after Church to tell me I missed him reading the announcements and welcoming this morning. Man, what I would give to hear that again! For those of you who don't know my dad, that took alot of guts to get up in front of our Church. He said he was very nervous which I would have been too. Anyway, so I have spent the whole day lying around and I have already taken TWO naps. Yes, I have a wonderful hubby who stayed home from his second love (playing golf) to take care of Halle. I know it is killing him to seeing that he couldn't play yesterday. So, please pray that we have a better week. Hope you all had a great weekend.

In full force

I guess we can now say that Halle is crawling in full force now. She(crossing my fingers) is not into everything(yet) like everyone says. She is just now really starting to explore more and crawl into other rooms without one of us. I am posting some pictures to show what she has been up to while crawling.

New PJ's

I bought Halle some new pj's a couple of weeks ago at Target and have been meaning to post about them because I think they are so adorable. So I finally got a picture of her in them. Not to much of her face, but enough to be able to see the adorable pj's. I hope all of you have had a wonderful weekend. It had been so beautiful. I have planted flowers both days and still and far from being thru. I have just tried to find things to do 0utside. Happy Spring!!

So She's Been Watching Her Mommy

These pictures were too cute to not post. Darrin walked around with the camera for at least a day trying to get her picture with the phone. Darrin says she's been watching her mommy!!

Halle's Easter Basket

Okay, so I bought this Easter basket back in January and have had it up in the top of Halle's closet, but I decided since I have started picking up things here and there I wanted to share all the cute things with y'all. So here are the pictures I took this morning of her things.

What a Week!!

Okay, so I know that it is ONLY Wednesday, but Halle has been fighting a fever since Friday! I was called from daycare and thank goodness Darrin was already home from work and could go and get her. So we dealt with the fever all weekend and I took her to her ped doctor Monday morning. They gave her some antibiotics and off we went. My step-mom, Jennifer kept Halle when we got home so I could go to work. Thank you Nana, we love you so much. Well, when Darrin got home that afternoon Halle was just waking up from a nap and he said she felt really hot so he took her temp and to our surprise it was 104.5 and that is with adding the degree. We both panicked and I immediately called my wonderful nurse sister and she went and got a flu swab to give Halle. It was negative so we were relieved. We got her fever back down and she ate a little that night and I put her to bed around 6:30p.m. She woke up screaming at around 7:30p.m. and was almost just limp. I again called my sister and asked her what to do. We then gave Halle another dose of Tylenol and a double dose of Motrin. That was the first for the Motrin since she is having tubes put in. The ENT asked us not to give her Motrin because of something in it and her having surgery. Anyway, my sister explained to me that she was at the point that if her fever got any higher she could start having feverable(sp) seizures and explained what to do if she started having one. Well, I think that scared Darrin and I both, so we decided to take her on to the ER. That was a waste. We got there at 9:00p.m. on the nose and got back home at 11:00p.m. Once we got her there and they called us back to take her temp the Motrin had apparently kicked in because her temp was only 97.4. Boy did we get weird looks. So we wanted to see the ER doctor who did nothing but talk to us and tell us to continue to do what we were already doing!! Since then we have been swapping up staying at home with her and hope that she is at the end of the sick road. Today is obviously my day because I am writing a book. I just put Halle down for a nap and I am loving the peace and quite. So please pray that Halle is on the end of the sick road and will feel better soon.

Start Praying Now!!!

Well, I took Halle back to the ENT Monday for her 8 week check-up and guess what? She is having tubes put in March 27th at 6am. Woo Hoo. I am so excited. No, I really am because we have a had very mad hornet on our hands these past couple of days. She has fluid on both ears and has not been able to get comfortable. So please pray for us that everything will go okay and we will have our little angel back soon. I also had a orthodontic appointment Monday and I found out that I have to get braces!!!! I am too old for braces!!! The doc says I should not have to have them any longer than 24 months, which is not that bad, but YUCK. So, I do not have a date for that. I told them that we would have to take care of baby girl first and then me last. Please keep us in your prayers. Also, cousin Rhae is sick so please pray for her as well. Nothing serious, just the normal sickness, running a fever and lots of snot.

Random Photos

I guess you can tell that I am trying to get caught up with my posts and of course pics. I was just telling Darrin today that I cannot believe that Halle and Rhae both are fixing to be ONE year old next month. Gosh, where has the time gone? Well, that is a no brainier. That would be many countless nights of no sleep, changing diapers all the time, feeding every time you turn around, playing, crying, laughing, washing bottles, washing baby clothes and now chasing Halle all around, but I would not change a thing about the past 11 months of my life. Well, about having Halle or being married to my wonderful husband and of course not having my mom here. I am so proud to be the mother of such a wonderful baby girl who loves everything about her little life. Who never meets a stranger and loves to laugh. I look forward to all the fun we have ahead. Now, here are just some random photos of Halle.

Our Little Computer Wiz

As you can tell by looking at the pictures, I have a webcam in my hand. My mom gave it to Darrin for x-mas and this was only the second time for us to TRY to use it. I was trying to follow Halle around with the webcam while she crawled, rolled and moved everywhere around the room. At the same time, my mom was IMing me so I was also trying to type to her. Well Halle found my laptop and decided to just bang on it because it was fun and made lots of noise. Well we decided that was not a good idea for her to be doing that and of course when I told her NO that put an end to the webcam viewing for my mom. Halle pitched one of her wonderful fits and we had to put away the laptop and the webcam. Sorry mom, hopefully one day you will be able to enjoy your present that you gave Darrin.

Snowy Sunday..

Well, we did get a little bit of snow here in Demopolis. We got up this morning at watched ABC3340's snow coverage and then took Halle outside for a very short minute. I don't think she too much liked it and the wind took her breath away. We are hoping for snow never year and hopefully then she will want to get out in it. I hope all of you had fun in the snow. Here are a few pics we took.
