What is in the air...

What is in the air around here. I am surrounded by pregnant bed ridden women. Well just 2 bed ridden women. But actually ALOT of pregnant women. I know a total of 7 women that are pregnant. Yes that is right I said 7. I guess everyone is just having that baby itch. And it is very contagious. But 2 out of the 7 are bed ridden. Of course as most of you know my best friend, Mere is on bed rest b/c little Ella Bella is so ready to meet her mommy and daddy. But she is doing good for the most part. As long as she actually stays off of her feet the next 4 weeks. She has a pre term labor test next week, so I guess they will go from there to see the progress she has made. But it is so exciting to think that in just a little over a month we will all get to meet precious little Ella Bella. But today I went over to my neighbors house, Danielle. She and her husband just moved in, in October right before I had Isaac. And they have a 10 month old baby boy named Spencer. He is so stinking cute. Well she is 9 weeks pregnant. And I went over there today to invite her to the Ladies Bible Study at the church tonight b/c she told me she was interested in coming to it. So I went over to let her know about it and she told me that she had a dr's appt at 2:30 p.m. b/c she had a "threatened miscarriage." And I asked her what that was and she said that she started bleeding really bad and she thought for sure she had lost the baby. And she went to the emergency room and the dr there told she needed to be on bed rest until she sees her dr which would be today. But she said that she will more than likely have to be on bed rest until she is 20 weeks. So those of you who have chosen to read my blog here will you please pray for her. Just pray that everything goes well and that maybe she wont have to be a bed rest the entire pregnancy. Like I said she is only 9 weeks along and she has a 10 month old. So please just pray that she is okay. The dr in the er said that baby is fine so maybe everything will be alright. Well I guess that is it for now. Peace out!

It just isn't the same...

Valentine's day just isn't the same as it use to be. Don't get me wrong me and my valentine had a good time. But I remember when we were dating that we use to plan our valentine's date like weeks in advance...or I did at least. But this year it was very low key which is fine with me b/c I know all of the restaurants would have been overflowing with people. And those of you who know me well, know that I have a very large bubble and those that pop my bubble are treading on dangerous territory. But my valentines day started with a phone call from my lovely sister at 9:45 a.m. and which I was still in bed. B/c Isaac decided to get up at like 6 a.m. that morning to eat and so once he was done I went back to bed...yay! But me,Isaac,Grammy (my mom),Aunt Leah and cousin Dylan all went shopping. My mom took me and my sister and Dylan out to eat for our valentines gift eventhough Dylan did get a valentine goody basket from my mom but I guess that is what happens when you are one of the grandkids. And Isaac went with us too but he decided not to eat with us he decided he wanted to catch some z's instead. But we decided to go to Chili's and it was very yummy. And after that we went to Kid to Kid, Hobby Lobby and Kohls. And at Kohls I got my easter dress...yay! I know I am sure some of you are thinking...what? Easter? It's like 2 months away but those of you who know me well know that it takes me forever to pick out an easter dress. And the other day I bought Isaac's easter outfit...it is sooo cute I would put a picture but I would like to keep it a surprise b/c it is so cute. And so I thought it would be cute to color cooridate Jacob, Isaac and myself. So when we went to Kohls I had just planned on looking and b/c I didn't really have the money to buy a dress. But I found a dress that I really liked and my mom bought it for me...I love shopping with my mommy. =0) But I told her I would pay her back. Well after the shopping I came home and just relaxed for a little bit since Jake was at school all day and he had some cleaning to do at the church. And then I started dinner...and it was so yummy if I do say so myself. And I decided to it would appropiate to watch a chick flick with it being valentines day and all. So I rented "Nights in Rodanthe" with Richard Gere and Diane Lane. And it was a very good movie but definitely not for valentines day. B/c it was incredibly sad it was kind of depressing. I am not sure if I could watch that movie again. Oh well! Oh and we had our chocolate fondue and it was so yummy. I think I gained like 10 lbs just from our valentines dinner. But it was so worth it. Well I will quit rambling on and on now. Hope all of y'all had a wonderful valentines day as well.

Valentine's Day...with a baby...

Well Valentine's Day is upon once again. Don't get me wrong I like Valentine's Day and all. And I am proud to say that this is mine and Jacob's 5th valentine's day together. But this year we have a baby on Valentines Day. Not that I am complaining at all b/c I love my little boy sooo much. So I had been trying to think of something fun and romantic that Jacob and I could do without spending alot of money and something we could do with the baby as well. Because I was not about to ask someone to babysit b/c this is everyone elses valentines day as well. Well the other day I made chicken tortellini alfredo with broccoli for my friend Mere. And Jake was a little upset b/c he didn't get any. So I am making spinach tortellini alfredo with chicken. And we actually have a fondue so I bought some chocolate bark that we are going to melt and I bought some dippers....marshmallows,strawberries and angel food cake. I got the fondue idea from this GREAT restaurant called The Melting Pot, it is in Southlake. Kind of pricy but totally worth it...it is soooo yummy. So that is what we are doing for dinner and then I went and rented some movies. So that is our Valentine's Day plans. Very simple but I am very excited to spend it with my two favorite people, my hubby...Jake and my baby boy...Isaac! I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day.

I can't believe it...

I can't believe it my baby boy is already 3 months old. It seems like just yesterday I was 9 months pregnant with him and soooo miserable. It is so much fun to watch him grow and learn new things. It recently has learned where his hands and feet are. It is hilarious to watch him wave his hand in front of face and look so amazed by it. So now my new goal is to teach him to roll over. So I have been putting him in the floor on his back and kind of rocking him from side to side and seeing if he can turn over. I will put him on his belly for a little while and let him push up. But he gets tired of being on his belly real quick. He gets very frustrated and just starts crying. So I usually give him and just pick him up. And recently we put his exersaucer together so I will put him in that every now and then and watching him in that is so funny b/c he is still kind of wobbly and again he gets tired of that eventually. I know yall probably think I am obsessed with my baby b/c he is all I ever talk about on here but that is b/c I am in love with my baby and I just can't help it. I love being a mommy and sharing with everyone how much I love it.

For those of you who don't already know, my best friend Meredith is about 8 months pregnant with little Ella Grace. And about a week ago Mere started having what she thought was Braxton Hicks but it turned out to be real contractions. She had like 12 contractions in 30 mins. And her due date isn't until April 13th so Ella still needs to cook a little bit longer. So right now her dr has her on medication to stop the contractions and she is on bed rest until the end of her pregnancy. So please pray for my friend, for her health and Ella Bella's health as well. I just feel so sorry for Mere being stuck at home everyday. So just pray specifically that the contractions will stop and that maybe she could be put on moderate bed rest and pray that Ella does not come to early. I mean we want to meet her very badly but we want her to be a very healthy baby girl.

Well that is it for now, I posted Isaac's 3 month pics below so take a look and tell me what you think. Talk to you later...xoxoxo!

Worries of motherhood

Well we have had quite a little adventure over the past few weeks. A few weeks ago Isaac got RSV or bronchiolitis (sp?). Cousin Dylan had it, Max had it...lots of babies had it. It was just inevitable that Isaac was going to get it. But it happened a few weeks ago. On a Sunday morning when my sister, Leah called me and told me that she took Dylan to the dr that morning b/c he was coughing and running fever. And he actually ended up seeing Isaac's dr...Dr. Readinger. And Leah explained everything to him and that Dylan had been around Isaac the day before. And Isaac had just seen Dr. Readinger earlier that week. When Leah told me I wasn't too worried about it b/c I knew Isaac's immune system was strong, I mean I had a stomach virus throwing up and he didn't catch that. But I was wrong. It was that Tuesday after that, that I noticed he started to cough. It scared me at first but then I thought well he isn't running a fever and he doesn't have a runny nose or anything. Well we were supposed to go to my dad's house that night for dinner and Leah, Shane and Dylan were going to meet us there as well. Well Isaac's cough really started to bother me so it was about 5:30p.m. and I decided to call the dr and see if there is anything I could give him for the cough. And I talked to the nurse and she told me I needed to go to their night clinic. So we had to take him to the dr. at 7:30 p.m. that night. He saw Dr. Halpenny and he told me that it sounded like the beginning of a cold. So that was a relief for me and Jake. Well than that next Saturday I was getting Isaac dressed for the day and I noticed he was breathing kind of funny. He was as happy as could be but it sounded to me like he was wheezing. So I called his dr's office...again! And they told me that I needed to take him to the emergency room at Cooks. The worse words I could hear. So I called Jacob and he came home and we took him to the E.R. Waited FOREVER!!!!! Turned out that he had bronchiolitis and they gave him an inhaler. I called Dr. Readinger's office that next Monday and they wanted me to go ahead and bring him in. So I took him in on Tuesday and Dr. Readinger said he definitley had some bronchial congestion. And that I needed to continue the inhaler and keep him in for about 4 days. Ugh! Again words that I did not want to hear. The weirdest thing is he never ran a fever...well he ran a temperature of 99.4 for like 3 days. And his dr told me that was a fever...so I guess it is I don't know. But it is good to say that he is doing very good today. It has been about 3 weeks since all of that has happened. He is still coughing a little bit, his dr said that cough could stay around for about 6 weeks. But his breathing is much better, thank goodness.

Well not much more is going on with me around here. Just taking care of my precious baby boy and loving every minute of it. I have posted some pics of him below so feel free to take a peek. Don't forget to leave comments if you would like! Have a great day!
