The evil Ear Infection is Back!

Well, on Thursday Grayson woke up at 2am with a fever so I took him to the doctor cause I figured he was back to the ear infection game even though he didn't have that high of a fever, but I wanted to nip it in the bud before it got bad! Well at the doctor I went a few days too early and all he had was an upper respiratory infection, and was given cough meds and No antibiotics!  Well Thursday night I pick him up to find him with goopy gross eyes and just a sick little boy! Well he still just had a low grade fever! So I drugged him up and sent him back to school cause the doctor did say he was not contagious! Well yesterday my mom picked him up from school and he was pittiful! His eyes were goopy he wouldn't eat, his nose was raw, and his was just miserable! I went to pick him up and Grayson and mom were cuddled up in the rocking chair and he just looked so sad! But when he saw me when I perked up a little and got a big ol' grin on his face and as always gave me that warm fuzzy feeling that every time I see him I get! Well when we got home last night he indeed had a fever! It was 101 and was not feeling too good! He went to bed and slept pretty good till it was time for meds again then he was a sick boy! We woke up this morning to head out to the doctor and wouldn't you know it, he has a double ear infection! Big shock! I wish they would have just given me the meds on thursday but too late now! So we are back on Augmentin, antibiotic that he just finished a week ago! He has eye drops for his conjunctivitis (teer duct infection)! And he has my skin, and has a small case of eczema on his back so we have a cream for that! 

So if all goes well we head back in two weeks for a re-check! At that time I am asking for an ENT consult to see if he can get tubes in his ears! If he continues with this grossness and still has a fever on Monday then back to the doctor we head!

So keep us in your thoughts! I am so tired of this sickness! I love the socialization that Grayson gets from daycare but I HATE this sickness he gets!

Well the new schedule has started!

Well when I was first hired on at the Cath Lab I was hired for the 12pm-830pm shift! That was in September of 2007! Well it is now March of 2009 and I just started my correct schedule! When I was hired I was SO excited cause I figured I could stay up late and sleep in plus I didn't have to worry about being on-call OR any weekend work! Well once I found out about Grayson I was still excited about the schedule, but didn't know if it would ever work out and I would ever actually start my shift! Well, working the normal cath lab schedule was working out pretty well, but I hated to be on call! But I was not as dependent on my mom and sister watching Grayson cause I was out of work normally by 5 pm SO I was always able to get him! Well now with this new schedule it is working pretty well! That is we are able to play in the mornings and play catch up and then I drop him off at school and head off to work! Monday went pretty well, work was not too bad and then I went to pick up Grayson from mom and he was tired but not too bad! We got home and he ate then after about 30 mins of fighting sleep he went to bed! Well yesterday he woke up way earlier than I was ready, but we had a GREAT morning to get ready and play! I then took him to school and I went to work! Yesterday I don't think he had his late nap like he needed so he was REALLY sleepy and had issues when I went to pick him up, and it took him from 845 till 1030pm to finally go to sleep! But Yea he slept ALL night! So we will see if tonight goes just as well! I know it will be a big learning curve to really get things in order and have my mom and sister care for Grayson the way that I do! But I really feel that this shift is going to work out the best for us! We may not get to spend the evenings together so I may miss out on some stuff, but I think that till he is in school or into sports I am not going to look for another shift! But I am taking this all day by day! We shall see! As we start day 3 of the new schedule! Yea!

Ok I forgot to post a few new photos!

Pow-wow with the coach post game!

Sleeping baby! He is SO relaxed!

Well I forgot that I wanted to put up a few pics from today! Some are from Aiden's first soccer game of the season! Avery also played his first game, but I went to Aiden's with mom! Aiden really is getting pretty good with the ball when he is not goofing off!

Also, as me being the good mom that I am I am always taking pics of my sleeping baby! I know I really should not, But he looks so sweet when he is asleep! I love the last pic!

Just got home

Well I just got home from Mommy Night Out... and I had a BLAST! I am a dork I know, But since Grayson was born in July I have been out 2 times without him! Don't get me wrong... I LOVE my little man and would not trade a single second away from him cause I LOVE every second with him, BUT  I also enjoy adult conversation that I am not battling an 8 month old little man over! I mean to be able to eat a meal without Grayson grabbing at my plate or deciding that he is hungry or tired and just enjoy the meal! It was just what the doctor ordered! So THANKS MOM for watching Grayson so I could go out with 3 awesome moms tonight! I know that it was rough on my mom after our week of vacation but I am so glad I went! I was very nervous going into tonight as I had only met 2 of the ladies once before, and well I still find it hard to meet new people! I am not like my sister that can be friends with anyone before I have even met them! I wish I didn't have the fear of people not liking me or believing that everyone hates me... yes I will just go eat worms... wow that brings up my childhood... can you believe I was a dork with no friends growing up... ha ha! But it is true... I have always been one with 2-3 friends at a time... but not true friends... so as I grow up I am trying to change that and grow up and make new friends.... people I am not afraid to talk to! But back to my original thought! I am so glad that I went to MNO because I was able to meet moms like me that have kids that are older than Grayson, but they have been in my shoes before and have really assured me that I am not ruining my child by letting him nurse when he wants, and letting him sleep in bed with me! And I can't wait to get to know these ladies even better over time! I know I can be a bit crazy and I am ok with that I am trying to grow and be a better person, and I am so glad that this group found me! They seem like really great ladies, and I can't wait to get to know all of them even more!

Hope everyone has a great night!

Back from Vacation

The 3 Monsters....

Me and My HANDSOME man!

The boy in the flowers!

The first time in the pool!

The handsome man driving his car!

Well we are back! Camping was SO much fun... but we are SO happy to be home! Grayson was not too big of a fan of sleeping while there... so that meant mom got very little sleep! But we had so much fun... one day we spent at camp and went swimming for the first time! He didn't really know what to do... and ended up passing out in the pool! The next day we went to the Blue Bell Factory to try to take the tour, but the line was a few hours long SO we ended up just watching a video tour while eating ice cream! Blue Bell is the BEST ice cream EVER! Then we went to town and there was not much to do! The town of Brenham is pretty much closed on Wednesdays! So we had passed a few bluebonnet patches on the way so we wanted to get Grayson and the other 2 monsters matching outfits SO we went to the local outlet mall! Then we ended up not getting back to camp till late! The next day we were supposed to get an early start... and at 11 we were leaving the house to go back out and find bluebonnets again! Then Thursday was another lazy day at camp! We tried to go swimming again, BUT the water was TOO cold! So we went back to camp after Grayson pooped all over himself... and took a nap! While he napped I got some re-packing done as we had to head home last night cause there was a chance I had to go back to work today... YUCK to work! Well we stuck around camp and did stuff there and finally got all packed at 9 pm and headed home! We got back home last night at 1030 ish... and Grayson had his first good nights rest all week! Please enjoy the pics!

So Tired

Well we ended up going to the doctor on Saturday after Grayson ran a fever of 103 for 3 days and his ear infection is back! We did not even make it a week without an ear infection! So we go back in 2 weeks for a re-check and if he still has the infection I am requesting a referal to an ENT to see if he can get tubes! I hate to do it cause he is SO young but he has had this silly ear infection since January at his 6 month appointment and he is about to be 8 months! That is 2 months and WAY too long! So I would like to be pro-active and get them before it gets any worse! Plus when he gets the ear infection he really goes ALL out! He runs the crazy high fever and even if I take him the day he starts running the fever his ears are SO inflammed! This last time the doctor said that his ear was so infected it was oozing! GROSS! My son really knows how to go 0-60 in no time!

Well it looks like we are also getting out 3rd tooth! It is not the one I thought it would be! It normally would be one of the top 2 front but it is on top it is just the one on the side! But it still has not fully broken through so we will see which one makes the appearance first!

Well on a side note daycare is going ok! I really like a few things, like being able to work my whole shift without feeling guilty cause my sister needs to do something! BUT there are some things that they just drive me CRAZY over! Like I am a good mom that always has the kid dressed super cute no matter what and he will always match! Well last week on picture day I sent the cutest outfit for them to change him into after breakfast, well what do they put him in... a onesie! No pants just the shirt! I NEVER Ever do that I ALWAYS put him in pants! Especially for pictures! Well the pictures turned out cute but I wish he would have worn what I sent him to be put in! And I have tried to talk to them and I feel like I am talking to a wall! Oh and after I threw my little hissy fit about the onesie this morning I sent 2 outfits in case he had an accident, one was a short and shirt set, the other was a romper, well what do they put him in the shorts and the romper... and they did not even match! Can you say my son looked like the BIGGEST Dork EVER! I mean a romper is an outfit in it self! Oh I just don't know what to do with them! They drive me nuts!

Well only 3 days till our vacation starts! Yea we are so ready!

Crawling around

Well I finally got it on video of him on the move! I have been trying to do it for a while but every time I think about it my camera is dead or he stops moving! I hope yall enjoy! This was taken today at the Little Gym! It was so much fun! They had an open house to show the place off and I can't wait till he is a few months older so that we can try out a class on Saturdays! I wish I was a stay at home mom so I could do one now with him but that is not in the cards so I will wait till he is 10 months old and we will do the Saturday class! Grayson is getting so big I can't believe it!
