Well a quick update on what has been going on. Took T2 to the doctor..again..and his ears are still nasty. So we had to put him on one more course of antibiotics and if that doesn't work we are gonna have to have the tubes put in. That is the last thing I want to happen. I know it will help and everything but the thought of your baby having surgery of any kind is not something that usually sits well. I know he has to have it cause we are at a critical time for his speech development. I had chronic ear/tonsil infections when i was a baby and almost had the tubes but ended up not having them. T however had them for a little bit until the discovered he was allergic to the tubes. So that is another thing I will have to worry about with T2...granted the doctor said that it is very rare to have an allergic reaction...it still worries me. So I am hoping and praying that this antibiotic clears it up on it's own. Well that's it for now. I have to feed the little munchkin lunch.

Zzzz...

I am so exhausted...

I just keep thinking will this never end?! Well I guess I should tell you that I took T2 back to the doctor for his ear check after the whole allergic reaction fiasco..so she checks his right ear and it is still majorly infected..she even jumped back a bit after seeing that...well then she checks the left ear just to be safe...and you guessed it...now that ear is infected too. So she put him on Omnicef I think it's called. Well that gives him an upset stomach so not only are his ears hurting but so is his tummy. :( Well then I had her look at his cradle cap...which went away for awhile and then all of the sudden came back full force along with a patch of what looks like baby acne on his right cheek. So she referred me to a dermatologist that takes our insurance. So just another doctors appointment I'll have to sit through with a baby going through separation anxiety and screaming at anyone who comes within a 5 mile radius that doesn't live in our house...which limits it too Me, T, Brother, and Mom. Slim pickings...but when we're at home...he wants nothing to do with anyone but me..which is fine. Although I would like to be able to pawn him off every once in a while. HAHA..Not really but ya know. :-p I just feel like there are not nearly enough hours in the day...to do all the stuff I need to to while carrying him around or him crawling up my leg. Except of course when the commercials come on then he wants nothing to do with me of course. Which gives me oh a whole minute and half of peace? Unless I put Boobahs on for him...which I don't like...but sometimes I just have no choice in the matter. I just think that show is a bit odd...I try to get him to watch Sesame Street or something like I used to watch when I was a kid..but he wants no part of that. I encourage everyone who hasn't seen these Boobahs to watch them one time...if you can get through a whole episode however...you seriously have to be trippin on acid or something. Well that is all for now.

Well I figured I better update this. T2 is starting to feel better, but now he has an allergic reaction to the amoxicillan. I called the doc tonight just cause I didn't think that was what it could be. But it turns out that an AR doesn't show up sometimes for 5-7 days. And he has been on it for 6...I just hope the infection has cleared so that we don't have to start him on a whole new medicine. So back to the doc I go tomorrow. Let me tell you what a joy that has been since he got older. He won't let anyone come near him so I have to hold him the whole time they are examining him while he looks at me and cries like "how could you do this to me"..But I know that is normal. He is just going through separation anxiety. T has started his new hours of 2:30 to midnight. Which are better hours then when he was working over night we really never got to see him cause he was either sleeping, working, or doing homework. So we like this arrangement better. Brother and I were supposed to go see flyleaf Sunday with Brother's girlfriend...but of course it got postponed which sucks cause it was supposed to be for Girlfriends b-day and now we have to make other plans, cause although we can use our original tickets when they come back it won't be til "sometime this year". Oh well that is enough of my ramblings of what turned out to be such a fantastic week. I'll try and post more...not that anyone reads this...ha ha but it helps me.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple days. It has been crazy around here. Yesterday I took T2 to the doctor and found out that on top of the cold he has his first ear infection. I have him on so many medications it isn't funny. Antibiotic, Perscription cold medicine, and Tylenol. Then after I got done at the doctor and at the pharmacy I had to go shopping for his Easter basket. The stores were insane but I did manage to get him some toys and stuff. He was in so much pain this morning that he didn't even want the basket. All he did was cry. :( He did open it though finally about an hr ago. Mom got him a Ball Popper. It is the funniest thing to watch him play with it. You put like 5 balls in it and it goes through a maze like thing and then it pops out the top. Oh does he love it. I got Happy Feet! T got Rocky Balboa and Brother got Nacho Libre. It is like a tradition that on Easter we get each other movies. Mom got candy we got her a choclate Dove rose. She loves her candy. Haha. She did go down to see Nana who has been doing really well. She even ate 2 meatballs the other day which is quite and accomplisment cause when you are in end stages you have impaired swallowing. So she mostly eats baby food. I wasn't able to go today cause I don't want to get her sick since I think I am now coming down with a cold. But that's about all for right now. I might post later.

Today was Mom's 50th Birthday! We didn't do anything special though cause T and I are taking her out for dinner over the weekend to her favorite restaraunt that she hasn't been to in years. That is what she told me she wanted most so we are gonna do that. She did have a busy day though went to see Nana, she is in the end stages of alzheimers so we are trying to see her as much as possible. We live kinda far though so it is hard. She had to take Brother to the doctor for this cold that won't seem to go away, finds out he has scoliosis in his back. T2 now has the cold and has been coughing and coughing since the middle of last night. I finally got him down to sleep about an hour ago. Now that he is getting older it isn't as easy to get him to take his medicine. So that alone takes 20 mins and then another hour for it to kick in. He did play a little bit earlier when his medicine kicked in but he got hurt. :( He was cruising around the table trying to walk sideways no less, and he fell and hit his jaw on the table. I think it scared him more than hurt him cause of the padded stuff I talked about last night. It of course scared the hell out of me and Brother. So I have a had a pretty crazy day and just want to sleep but I can't of course.

New

Well I decided that I would change this up, and delete some of my other posts. I am gonna use this to talk about T and T2 Mom and Brother. Now that I am more familiar with this I won't be putting actual names, places ETC. But other than that. T2 turned a year old 5 days after I turned 21. It was really special that we got to celebrate milestone birthdays together. He is now almost 14 months old and I can't believe how fast the time has gone. It is so amazing to watch him grow up and discover and learn something new each day. He is so close to walking. It is too funny to watch him though. He gets so excited and lets go of whatever piece of furniture he is hanging on to at the time, and sometimes he stays up and other times he is right on his butt. Haha. He dances to commercials and Boobahs. Which is something you would just have to see. We recently had to put those foam like thngs around the tables because he thinks it is too funny to bang his head on the table for attention. I was so worried about this behavior that I asked the doctor. She said that her son used to do the same thing. They bang their head on anything cause they think it is a game. I don't think it is so funny. I feel like I am gona have to make the whole house into a padded room.

He recently had a trip to the doctor, because he was getting these strange spots that at first looked like diaper rash, (he gets those a lot) but then when I would wipe him after a diaper change it didn't seem too hurt him. So I take him to the pediatician of course his regular doc is on vacation so we saw another doctor in the practice. He tells us it's a yeast infection. I didn't even know boys could get that so I was stunned. I was like "a yeast infection...are you sure"? HAHA But it must have been cause the cream that he gave me to put on him has cleared it up nicely. So I don't need to worry about that anymore. But that is about it for my update. Writing in this thing is actually pretty nice. I could really get used to it.
