Wordless Wednesday

Yep, you guessed it!!

Yep, another ear infection on the books! We now have our referral papers in hand to the ENT Doctor. Part of me is super worried about this procedure (tubes) but the other part of me knows that this will help little Zoe so much. I hate to see her in pain and she has gotten to where she LOVES the antibiotics that she is prescribed, this is the 8th ear infection so she is use to the medicine now, she actually gets excited to take the medicine. It is the bubble gum kind....yummy! Anyway, I need to do some serious research on tubes. Any of you out there have anything you could tell me about tubes or any advice? I would love for some feedback. Oh well, wish me luck miss priss won't wake up again tonight crying, it hurts my heart.

Off to the pediatrician's office...again.

I am pretty positive miss Zoe has her 8th ear infection in 10 months. It is time for the tubes and that is what I plan on going over with her pediatrician today. 8 ear infections is enough. I am tired of seeing my baby in pain. Will post later with an update. Keep your fingers crossed that her fussiness could simply be caused by teething, that is what we are hoping for anyway.

Please, Please Pray for Lindsay

Lindsay is on life support and is in the fight for her life right now. The Dr's believe she may have suffered a seizure. She was doing so very good until this happened. Please, please pray with all of your heart for this little princess.

Scrapbooking 101

There is a whole world of scrapbooking out there that I have so much to learn about just like I am learning how to blog. Man, where have I been? Under a rock I guess.
I must be honest and say that I have pondered the option of buying a pre-made scrapbook, 1 to save time and 2 to save money. However, I feel like it is more personal if I make the scrapbook myself.
My daughter will turn 1 in August and I would like to give her a scrapbook of her first year with us.
What a very special year it has been. I am totally digging this whole Mommy thing and becoming more domesticated every day...yeah!!

We just recently took Zoe on her first beach trip!! The beach embelishment page would be so cool to own. It would go along perfect with the other events I want to highlight from her first year.

Won't you pick me for this awesome give away. I have never entered a competition before on blogger. So, I am a newbie to contest entering as well and to twittering. I am learning so much. Watch out as I love free stuff and I am competitive so now that I have entered my first contest, I am sure I will enter many more in the future and who knows one day one of you may be entering a contest I am giving.

Happy Blogging and Good luck to everyone.

Make sure you visit Poohs Corner for this awesome give away!!

Wrinkle Free Thursday

I was hoping to have a wrinkle free Thursday, this means my day is absolutely perfect, no wrinkles in my plans but Zoe had other ideas.
Actually this happened last night but it is still very fresh on my mind today and when I say fresh, I mean I can still smell the smell on my nose. What are you talking about you ask, ok well here goes. For dinner last night we fed Zoe, sweet potatoes and bananas in the jar. Then she had half a piece of cheese torn up into small bits but she ate all of it. Then we decided we would let her try meat for the first time. That's right folks, good ole pork roast. She tried one itty bitty bite of pork, gagged a couple of times and threw up everything she had just eaten. Luckily she had a big with the food catcher pocket on at the time so it caught the throw up but man did it stink. I still have that smell in my nose. Poor baby right? That is what we thought. We thought ok, she is probably going to drink a big bottle tonight before bed, wrong. She drank 3 0z and crashed, slept all night long. I thought, ok, she is going to be hungry this morning, wrong, she drank 2 oz and wanted nothing more to do with her bottle. Crazy. This kid is super petite. I am very frustrated with the solid feeding, finger food feeding. She likes nothing we have tried yet and we are no closer in teaching her to eat on her own. Any advice from all of you Mommies? I am just going to keep continuing to put things in front of her for her to try, I mean what elses can I do? Hopefully she will start getting use to the texture of the food and start enjoying "big girl" eating sooner rather than later. I keep second guessing myself and worrying that I am not doing something right!!

Emergency Room visit number 2 in 10 months!!

Yep, that's right...we visited Scottish Rite (Spelling) Childrens Hopsital yesterday afternoon. I'm not sure if it was the cantalope or the avacado or something else that broke Zoe out but man did she give us a scare. Ok, she gave me a scare....Dad wasn't as worried as me. She had some strange breathing going on, plus some weird twitching going on (similar to what I would think) a seizure would look like. I've never seen anyone have a seizure before but what Zoe was doing reminded me of what I would think one looked like. Couple that with the rash on her arms (that daycare failed to mention to me throughout the day) and a few hives on her arms and we did a dash for the ER. Of course once we got there, she had settled down and it seemed that all was happy again in her world. It was a reaction to something so she got a dose of Benadryl and we were on our way home. The rash is still there today but it doesn't look as red...yeah!! Hopefully by tomorrow she will be 100% again and ready to spend some quality girl time with Mommy as her Daddy is going to play golf with some of his buddies. Anyway, this first time Mommy worrisome that I have got going on has to get better right??? I mean I can't go continue to stress so much over every little thing that happens to baby girl right? They say that by the time baby number 2 comes along that you are much more relaxed and prepared for the second child...I hope so, my poor heart can't take much more. I want to give a shout out to Dylon, Lindsay and Bentley who have just recently undergone open heart surgery. Man, you three continue to amaze me with your strength. Keep on keeping on and us blog friends will continue to keep up the prayers and well wishes!! I am truly inspired by each of your stories. That's all for now. Peace out!!
