Spout Seems to be Allergic to Peaches!

So the Sprout had an allergic reaction to something.....more then likely...PEACHES!

He really seemed to like them too. Sigh....so now I have the fun of having to avoid those until we know for sure if he is or not.

Talk about the panic I was feeling when I first saw those little bumps show up and then see them turn bigger and bigger.

Sigh....poor kid.

Poor mommy.

TIme is Flying

The Sprout is getting so big!

I haven't posted in a while...things have been so busy that it's hard to keep up.
That and I have a new addiction...stupid Poker!

Thanks for nothing Mark!

Other then that....basement is getting there...and the house is closer to being packed up...I love that....

Off to look at houses....

I Have Been So Busy!

My basement is empty of junk!!

I am so proud of myself! I can't get over the fact I went through and got rid of all that shit!.

Stud's are fully up...tomorrow....moisture barrier and insulation! Drywall, paint, and a new carpet...then that's right...a finished basement!

I can't wait!

House is looking good....

Mark and Katie are already here...can't wait for the rest of the crew to arrive for our mini jamboree!

Oh The Week I've Had!

This week has just been horrible and everytime that I think something else can't possibly happen...

WELL IT DOES!

My life is just such a soap opera! Last night....the tenant's cousin tried to kill him by running him over....tearing up our lawn and hitting the house in the process....no major damage but geesh!

I am so tired of everything bad happen....where are the good things? Does this mean that I am going to win the lottery next week? It would be nice. I think I deserve it after all the quap!

Family

You have to love family....

Lately I always seem the last in the loop to learn about anything....everybody is so concerned about me and the baby that they just don't want to tell me anything....

I've bitched about this before but now....well now....It's just frustrating!

My brother's health is once again not prime....not that it ever will be again mind you but this time it's more then serious.

They have put him on the lung transplant list. He sees another specialist on tuesday....fun fun fun

Now the big question is do I go and see the specialist with him on tuesday? Or do I wait to hear. I have to admit that the control freak I am....I want to be there....because later on when it comes down to it...I'm the one who will have to know everything anyway.

Once again...Fun.

Sprout gained weight!

The sprout has finally gained weight....I didn't write about the trip to the pediatrician because to put it lightly....I WAS FUCKING FURIOUS!

Now it's all good. Finally got someone to tell me what to do and it's working. I know he's fed....I know he's not hungry and I am so relieved to have this hell over.

I'm much more relaxed and happy that it's amazing.

I think Sprout is feeling it too....he seems much happier.

Thank ye Gods!

Teens At The Pool and My Breasts

Yes...I know....I haven't posted in a bit. Let me tell you how crazy things have been around here. We're just now starting to settle down into another pattern, this one with baby finally gaining weight!

Anyhow...back to my title....I took the Sprout to the pool. There were a bunch of teens there about 12-15 years old. My bathing suit is a little on the tight side....yes I've gained weight with baby but I'm not going to not take him swimming when it does fit. So off we went...

I was so starred at. It was like they had never seen a pair of breasts before. *sigh* My husband says they are huge....so people should stare at them? grr.....

Going Going....Off to Ottawa To See The Pediatrician

Tomorrow is the day we finally find out about the Sprout. I know everything is fine...he's just a slow gainer. I'll just be happy to have someone tell me that so I can stop worrying.

Things are settling down around here. Almost back to normal. The house is a bit messy because I haven't been up to par the last couple days...but I will have the house back to what it should be before I leave tomorrow morning.

I still haven't made up a menu for this week. Will get to that too...Maybe on the drive.

*sigh* THings to do and no time to do them.

I'm Not Pregnant!

I am so not pregnant...was only three days late...more then likely stress.

My hair is falling out and my psioraisis is going nuts. Can't wait for all this crap to be over.

*sigh*

Rob is working overtime tonight.....Baby has just gone down and it's quiet..too quiet. Gremlin is still outside....got off his leash, the little bugger.

Worry Is Killing My Appetite!

I just seem to not be hungry lately, my sleep is off and I'm pretty jumpy. So many things to worry over....so little time.

Everyone says don't worry...everything will be ok. Easier said than done as I sit here writing this at 2am! I now know how I got the first ulcer, this one seems to be gearing up quite nicely and I wish I could just say...stop it now frankensteina! I don't need you back again, especially if I am pregnant...

Oh yeah...period is two days late and counting.

Sprout Isn't Gaining Weight Again

So the Sprout has only gained 8 ounces in 7 weeks. Once again we are on the rollercoaster of Dr.'s, Nurses, and worrying.

The funny thing is, he's absolutely healthy! He's a normal five month old who is more then ahead of the curve on all of his milestones. I mean he's all ready rolling from back to front....when he shouldn't be doing that for at least another month.

Ahhh...my little one....WHAT ARE YOU DOING?????

Sprout Is On Solids...And We Have Results!

A few weeks ago I wrote about Orin starting solids....well last week we started him on one with formula in it....

Let me tell you....It was the stinkiest BM(bowel movement for all those who don't know what that is!) Ever!!!!!!! It also came out in copious amounts. People always joke about how new parents talk about this....it's because we can't believe that so much can come out of something so little!

Other then that, all quiet here on the Eastern front. Just waiting for something new to happen!

First Time in The Pool, The Lettuce, And The Gardens

Baby swam for the first time yesterday. Just in the small pool across from us in the park. I was so proud of him! He didn't cry once! He wasn't very fond of being splashed but ironically loved to splash! Even dunked him once. I can't wait to take him back!

My lettuce is all ready! Ready all at once that is....anyone want some lettuce?? Definitely learned my lesson with it...next year it will be a bit different.....definitely on a learning curve.

My front gardens are coming along well. I have the woodchips down and now that flowers are a bit cheaper I'll fill them out some more....have to love sales!

Home Sweet Home!

I just quickly posted all of the blogs I did while in Timmins....now....well We're Home!!!!!!

So glad to be back in my own bed and my own house with my own things. Orin still isn't the happiest....the 12 hour drive isn't exactly fun for anyone. He was pretty good though.

I got interrupted when writing this and this is the first time that I have been able to get back to it.

Have no idea what I was going to write....so...

Every thing went well...I'll post some pics later this week...ha! It's already thursday.

Love of Shopping!

I got some pretty good deals in Timmins today. I couldn't get over the fact that their summer clothes are already on sale...then again it's so cold up here I guess it really shouldn't.

I even bought pj's for the Sprout because they were just too cute and too cheap to pass up. So what he can't wear them till he's five??

I'm also positive that my bladder infection is back...dammit!

Sleeping....Oh Sweet Bliss!

I got lots of sleep in the past two days. Have to love having three other women around to watch the sprout while I sleep. Don't have to do dishes....don't have to cook....just have to sit back and watch them coo over the baby and feed him the odd time.

Played Risk for the first time last night. Of course I kicked ass.....Much of it due to the hubby who actually knew what he was doing! *LOL* We leave for home in two days.....*sigh*

A Very Scenic Drive

The drive to Timmins was extremely long, but I have to say very, very scenic.

I saw a MOOSE! My husband was driving and he started to slow down and honk the horn. I looked up in time to see what I thought was a horse. I said OMG! Someone’s horse is loose! He laughed, nope it was a young moose. Well I’ve never seen a young one before…..saw a full grown one at a dairy queen in Thunder Bay, and that’s about it. Just Crazy!

Other then that….got a very nice warning from a very nice police man about speeding and having updated insurance in the car at all times. I am so thankful that it was just a warning.

And So It Begins!

Another harried vacation. Another long drive that ends in a short visit that is nothing but relaxing.

I am beginning to hate these so called "vacations". You'd think that we would take one that doesn't require any of this crap. The next one will be just for us.

Now...I just have to convince Rob of that.

Losing a Mexican Standoff

You are not going to guess! Yep that's right....I lost another Mexican standoff with my husband!

This one: The pane of glass he broke over a week ago that he was supposed to clean up. I kept saying go clean it up....instead....I did it. I couldn't stand it anymore....It's also a safety risk. It took me a total of 15 minutes, so why couldn't he have done it.

Excuses, excuses. I actually did it two days ago. He hasn't even noticed it yet....and since he doesn't read this blog, I'll keep you posted on how long it actually takes him to notice.

2 days and counting.
