Bad mommy....

So my sweet little monkey is SICK!!! Let me back up and start with the oh so lovely event that happened last night at dinner! The little man sat in his chair at the French Market West just smiling, waving, dancing and shoving food into his mouth (lima beans, turkey, bread, puffs, and drinking lots of milk!). So while I was eating my yummy dessert he started to get a little fussy. I picked him up and held him, he started to cough, drool a little so I turned him to face me (WHY!!!). He then preceded to projectile vomit all over me and the floor and I'm very surprised he did not reach the booth beside us! It was gross!!!!! It was also the first time he has ever done anything like that! He seemed much better, smiling and wanting to walk outside with daddy. The next morning he slept until 9 am!!!! Perhaps this should have been my first clue? He seemed happy, no fever, just a little runny nose but that was nothing new. So we went to our play group! This is why I am calling my self a bad mommy! After the play group we met my mom for a quick lunch, he didn't eat much, then headed home to give him an early nap so we could get to our doctors appointment (well baby checkup) at 2:30. He feel fast asleep and slept until I woke him up at 2:30, he was BURNING UP!!! Hot, Hot, Hot with red little cheeks. He seemed so sad, I held him for a minute and then we went to our appointment. They checked me in and made us wait until they checked his temp to decided what room to go to. We didn't end up going to a waiting room, we went straight to the back for meds because she said, "He is burning up! 103.5! When is the last time you gave him anything?" WOW bad mommy moment number 2, I haven't because I didn't realize he was sick! We didn't have to wait long for the doctor, she came in, checked ears, throat, etc. all with him screaming and didn't find anything! She didn't know what was wrong, only gave me a list of what was going around and told me that I needed to keep his fever down.

GOOD MOMMY moment.... we came right home, held him, rocked and he went to sleep again! When he woke up I gave him lots of hugs and attention! I hope I don't get kicked out of the playgroup!

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t...

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si...
