3rd times a charm?

Well...Evan woke up this morning hysterical (which never happens) grabbing BOTH of his ears. Now a week ago tomorrow I took him in to find he had an ear infection in his right ear. They put him on Azithromycin once a day for 5 days. On Thursday I didn't see that much of an improvement so called again and brought him in. his ear was worse. Poor thing! They decided to switch antibiotics to Clarithromycin 2x a day for 10 days. So imagine my annoyance when this morning it doesn't look like the ear thing has been solved! Luckily my Dr.'s office will make office hours on the weekend as needed so we headed in...for the 3rd time this week! Both ears are red. I just feel so bad for my little boo! She decided to get away from the 'mycins' antibiotics and try Cefdinir 2x a day for 10 days. Will lucky #3 work?! Let's hope and pray! Luckily I am blessed with a happy boy who is not completely miserable.

On another note I have been congested now for about a week which is OH so annoying. And now Dave is sick...thinking he has a sinus infection. The people at CVS just love me now I think!! Hopefully the next time I write we will ALL be BETTER!

Baby Girl :)

Well it was no easy task trying to take a picture of my ultrasound pic! We don't have a scanner so...little bit of a reflection but you can make out her face and arm. So neat! We were lucky enough that she flipped over at the end of the 45 minute ultrasound! We almost had to go back. It still doesn't seem real that we are having a little girl although I'm very excited! I REALLY thought it was a another boy! Now for us to pick a name...any suggestions?!?!

YEARS ago while working at gap (I have worked there now for 4 years!) I came across a couple of onesies that I had to get with hopes that one day I would have a girl. The pink and green one says 'If you think I'm pretty you should see my mom' lol! I actually bought the boy one too that says 'If you think I'm cute you should see my dad'. And well I love dolphins so had to get the other one too. I went downstairs last night into my 'bin' of gifts and pulled them out to show Dave. He shook his head at how silly I am!! Haha! All for today!

Up & Up

I have definitely become a Target girl! Before Evan was born I would venture into Walmart cause it's a tad cheaper...not anymore! You must understand something about the Walmart here in Manchester...it's ghetto. Seriously. I love Walmart in VA or Myrtle Beach just here I'm a Target girl hard core (lol)! I have even come to really like some Target brand products...now called Up & Up. You don't even know how long I have been thinking about blogging about this! :0) Here is what we use now...

- Contact solution (tried Walmarts back in the day and it dried our eyes out!)
- Paper towels
- Toilet paper
- Garbage bags
- Dishwasher detergent
- Aluminum foil!
- Plastic sandwhich bags
- I bought disinfectint wipes but haven't used them yet

There might be more that I am forgetting at the moment. Do you have any favorite Up & Up products???

Happy New Year!

Ok ok so it's already Jan. 13! I have been so bad with the blogging lately! UGH! As you can see I changed my layout some but can't say I'm THRILLED with is yet. I'll tweek it some more soon! Haha!

Well I am already 5 months pregnant! We found out on Monday that baby #2 is a GIRL! Totally a surprise to us cause we really thought it was another boy! Everyone is super excited, it's been a long time since there's been a baby girl in the fam! I'll have to take a pic of my belly and post it soon. I don't feel like I'm as big as I was with Evan at this stage. Now for a name...hummmmm

Evan & I are both not feeling well right now. Stuffy noses and such. Turns out Evan has an ear infection poor guy. Hope to be feeling better soon!

I am hoping to blog some more SOON...I can't promise but I have every intention of doing so! Ta ta for now!

Far too long...

My goodness it's been a long time since I wrote!!! Let's see where to start...

Fall has been beautiful here in CT and I'll leave you with a pic of my cute boy from when Dave was raking last week! He LOVES to be outside these days! Even in the cold weather he cries when it's time to come in. He's such a funny kid and discovers new things every day which is so cool to watch.

On that note I'm pregnant again!! Yep, due 5/29 so kids will be 25 months apart. I have been feeling good which I am so thankful for. We had an ultrasound yesterday (10weeks, 5 days) and it was crazy! I'm always amazed at ultrasounds and God of course! I had looked at Evan's 8 week one right before my appt to just remember and all he was was a blob on the screen! This one we could make out the head, arms, legs, cord forming and baby was moving around, AMAZING. And get this...the baby had the EXACT same heart rate as Evan did at his 8 week one...166!!! Weird right? Does this mean another boy???? Hummmmmm we will see!!!

I recently celebrated my 28th birthday on Wednesday! Had a good day :). Went out with my sisters last night which is always a good time!! Love my sisters (you too Kristin even though your weren't there)! Although I realized I haven't had ANY birthday cake yet!!! Think I might make cupcakes this afternoon :0)! haha.

Alright time for lunch so I better get going!
