Well life has been a little hectic here lately. My sweet Luke got sick again on Sunday and it's been a rough few days since. We've taken him to the doctor twice and oringinally they diagnosed him with strep throat but the antibiotics weren't helping so I think even they're a little confused. So they switched his antibiotic today and put him on a steriod so hopefully by morning we'll see some results. Please, please, please let's see some results. It's the hardest thing in the world watching your child be ill knowing YOU can't do anything but wait and see.  For two weeks he was doing great and eating well and just being a fun 13 month old and it was so great. Since he started daycare it seems like those weeks are so few that I really love them now when he has them. I am so tired of daycare. Wish I could find a nice old lady who's retired to watch my babies for me. Guess I'll just have to keep an ear open.

  On another note I did want to mention my great, even though small, savings at the grocery store this past weekend. This was supposed to be my oringinal post but after sunday night I'm still catching up on sleep. My goal is to start watching ads and using coupons to try to save us some money on groceries. I only saved us about $10 but....it was nice cause three items were FREE! One being the paper towels. Sweet! I love saving money. $10 a week=a box of diapers at the end of the month. But I can do better I know I can, so I will. I watched Extreme Couponing this week to get some tips and joined a couponing blog. Soon  I'll be a true couponer! So till next time.....

So I knew the day was coming........

the day where your trying to get out the door for an appointment and the baby ruins his outfit and yours also. So up the stairs we go to have two wardrobe changes. For me it was actually just a shirt but for him the whole thing. Milk vomit stinks. Really bad. Finally out the door we go.

 First appointment of the day, thankfully is a massage. It was wonderful and definetly relieved some of the morning stress. But unfortunately, the second appointment brought more stress. Luke's 12 month checkup, which by the way we were a month late for. Little man checked out ok for the most part but apparently his finicky eating habits are starting to show. No weight gain since 9 month checkup. Not sure if this is just cause he's such an active child or going to be on the smaller side or actual lack of nutrition but as precaution we are switching from whole milk to pedisure. Whick happens to be EXPENSIVE! Ten bucks for six-eight oz cans and she wants him to have three a day. Wow. So hopefully we can get him eating soon. So more stress to my day. But I am thankful that other than that he had a clean bill of health. Gave him three shots and he never even cried. Then she took a blood sample and he just watched the entire time. Such a trooper. After that we made a stop to grab some pedisure and home we went to play till bedtime. And that is how we ended our day. So till next time.....

Finally!

So I finally got this  blog setup! YAY!! Been wanting to do this for soooo long but with my little man it's not so easy. If he sees a computer out his eyes get as big as quarters. It's really almost worth doing just for the look on his face. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE that little guy. Anywhoo, life isn't exactly exciting right now for us being that I'm 5 1/2 months pregnant with our little girl but it sure is fun. And thanks to a wonderful client of mine I'm going to get a prenatal massage tomorrow! WHOHOOO! So looking forward to that. But  then the day ends on a sad note as I have to take Luke to get his 12 month checkup and shots. BOO. Hopefully he does well and has no fever from the shots. Please say a prayer!

 And be sure to check back in so I can tell you how fabulous my massage was. HEHE. Also, with my crazy, hormonal emotions these days you never know what you'll end up reading! Till next time........
