Good News/Kinda

We are all sick. I threw up and had bad guts all night and part of the day and my mother and father-in-law have been sick also. This is good news/kinda because this means Beau has had some kind of bug that just lasted forever since his immune system isn't strong yet. So it kinda sucks that we are all sick, but it sure is nice to have some good news about Beau's "sickness".

Beau Update

Beau is still throwing up but only like once a day usually at night before bed. This is a huge improvment. (Of course, this progress came after the blessing.) His attitude is fantastic. I have been blessed with a happy wonderful baby. He has even smiled at me before while he is throwing up. He makes it alot easier than it could be. Still don't know what is wrong and I may never know. And at this point I don't know if I even care. As long as he continues to do better then that's all that matters to me.

I've had a headache for about 5 days or so, not a migraine, thank goodness. I figured out it's due to stress cause when Beau is doing good I don't really have one and then as soon as things go south, there it is. I am doing the best I can and trying not to feel depressed. Thank you to all of you that have been encourageing to me and praying for my family.

A Rough Week

Beau threw up last Tuesday evening right before bed. Then he threw up the next day, Wed, all day no matter what he ate. He has thrown up every day since. And this is not spit up, it is the projectile vomit. He hasn't had any formula this whole time cause it only makes him worse. He has always been on soy formula but it hasn't made any difference. We have been to the doctor twice during this last week and he is now on an antibiotic cause we didn't know what else to try. He has lost some weight. And his mommy is getting very upset and a little depressed. I don't know what to do. He isn't teething, and from what I have been told, he shouldn't throw up when he does. Tk and his dad gave him a blessing last night and he has held his juice down all night and so far this morning. I gave him 3 ounces of watered down soy formula and that hasn't come up yet either. But he usually eats 8 ounces in a sitting. Has anyone been through anything like this before? I hope he is getting better now, I know the blessing will help, but I have no idea what caused all this. It's been pretty frustrating. I feel so bad for him. He is always hungry cause the juice and gatorade is never really satisfying and it has been 7 days! I don't know what to do. It's been a pretty hard week. I have hope since he held down everthing since last night. And I definately have faith in blessings. Again, can anyone relate in any way? It would help to hear anything.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

March 3rd is my birthday! I will be 25! Those numbers look so old to me! It's weird, but exciting. It's made me reflect on a few things. Like how good my life is right now. I have a hard working, loving husband and an adorably perfect 7 month old baby boy. That's all I have ever really wanted is to be a mom and to have a happy marriage. I am so lucky to have these things. I wouldn't change a thing. Well, except maybe a home of our own. Some day soon hopefully. Other than that, every thing feels just right.

I am gonna get my hair done Saturday for my birthday and all of TK's family is coming over that evening for a little bday party. I asked TK to take me to Alice in Wonderland this Friday night. I am so excited. I have always loved Alice in Wonderland and this new Tim Burton version is when Alice is 19 and going back to Wonderland for the 2nd time. So it will be a new story and a little crazy since it's Tim Burton. I love it love it love it!!! I just wish Beau was old enough to come too. Oh well, he will be before long. Me and TK need a date anyway. I think we have gone on 1 since buggy was born. So I think it's probably time we did again! :) I am so addicted to my child that I just have no desire to ever not be with him. I never get sick of him or feel like I need a break or anything like that. I mean, don't get me wrong, it can be exhausting at times, but worth every second when he is constantly doing something funny or new! I just love being his mom. I really am lucky to have a baby boy and husband that are all mine!

The Best Day Ever

My sister was in town for just a short while. Today I got to see her and her fam and it was so much fun. This was the first time that any of them met Beau. We went and met up with TK and had lunch at Cafe Rio. Yum! I am so glad that Beau finally met his aunt and uncle and cousins. They just loved each other. And I was so happy to see all them. I just love them! And my niece and nephews are so darn cute! Good times! I wish they could have stayed longer but I will take any second I get with them!

My Best Friend

I love my baby. He is my best friend. I tell him everything. And he tells me everything, too. He talks to me, and yells at me, and tells me everything he is feeling all the time no matter where we are or what we are doing. He is the best friend I have ever had. Don't know what I would do without him! I love my bugs.

HAPPY 6 MONTHS TO MY BUGGY BOO!

I can't believe my baby is 6 months old today! I knew it would fly by, cause that's just life, but it's crazy how fast time really goes! Beau has grown so much. He has been eating baby food since he was 5 months old. He loves sweet potatoes the best so far and he does really well, taking big bites. He got a jumperoo for Christmas and absolutely loves to jump in it. And we love to watch. He just screams and laughs and talks the whole time. Beau caught his first sickness since he has been home. Just the common cold but I feel so bad for him. He has a yucky cough and runny nose. He hasn't had a fever yet, crossing my fingers, and seems to be in good spirits. Well, as much as he can be. We finally put batteries in his swing and he has enjoyed swinging in that since he has been sick. He doesn't have to work to get it to move like he does the jumperoo, which can make him feel yucky afterward. So the swing has been nice.
Unfortunately, I woke yesterday morning with Beau's cold. He was suppose to have his 6 month check up today and get some shots. But I decided it would be best to wait until he felt a little better. We did go to the doctor on Friday, however, to make sure he didn't have anything worse than a cold, and they weighed him. He is 20 lbs even! His weight gain has slowed since they put him on a little diet, but he still weighs as much as a 12 month old! I love it. He has rolls in the strangest places and i think it is just perfect. I wouldn't change a thing about him.
I called him Love Bug from the day I had him, which then went to Love Buggy, and now just Buggy for short. And that has stuck. So if I ever say Buggy you will know that's Beau's nickname.
TK's parents got Buggy a high chair the other day, and he loves it. I use to just use his Bumbo seat but his little legs are getting too big for it. So the high chair has been wonderful. Plus, I don't have to sit on the floor to feed him anymore.
Tk and I are enjoying parenthood. It's everything I expected and more, of course. I am so in love with Buggy, it amazes me how any of us ever lived without our little ones. I know things like this are said all the time, I just know what people mean by saying them now.
Buggy loves playing with his dad and misses him while he is at work. Beau is my best friend. I love being able to stay home and take care of him every day. Thanks for making that happen TK. I love my boys!
