11 months and going strong....

I cannot believe that my little stinker is already 11 months. This will be my last post where I can count her age in months.....wwwaaaaaaaaaa....it almost makes me want to cry. But, I know there is nothing I can do about it, so I think I will just enjoy the moment. =)On the other hand, we have been planning her birthday party and cannot wait for it to come!! December is one of my favorite months, it always has been because of my birthday and christmas, and now Keagan's birthday is December and it just makes it that much better!! I CANNOT believe it has almost been a year since she was born. Its just plain craziness.
Anywho....Happy 11 months my little stinker!!
We love you very beary much!!

Don't know where it came from, but I got it....

So, Miss Keagan's little stomach bug has ventured its way to mommy's tummy. Thats right. I woke up yesterday morning about 6:30 puking my brains out. I wasn't able to stomach anything until 4:00 yesterday afternoon. No water, no sprite, no gatorade, no nothing. Once I got something to drink in my stomach and it STAYED, my stomach seemed to settle down. I am feeling MUCH better today, still a little queasy, but nothing like yesterday. My poor little stinker, it makes me soooo sad to know she was feeling this way. I mean, I could barely move yesterday. Absolutely zero energy. Poor thing. She took it like a champ though. And she was mommys little doctor yesterday. Its as if she knows when something is wrong. She was awesome yesterday. We watched her favorite movie, Open Season, four times yesterday. She took 2 long naps so mommy could rest. And took them with ease, she fell asleep both times laying on the couch with me and in my lap or on my stomach. She played peek a boo with me and kept me smiling even though I felt like crap. How lucky am I to a little pint size nurse????

What a weekend....phew.....

Goodness, where to start??? We has a long, crazy, busy weekend. Friday, as soon as Farren got out of school, we rushed home to get her a bag packed. She had a slumber party to go to that night. Bag packed...check. Then we were off to the bank to get a visa gift card as a present. We went shopping the night before for a present but the sizes on the clothes were so different we opted for a gift card. =) Gift card...check. Now off to the party. Farren gets out of school at 3:45 and the party was suppose to start at 5, so we were rushing a bit. We made it to the party on time and 6 little girls greeted us at the door, eager that Farren was there. Kid dropped off...check. =) Back to the house for movie night with my husband and little daughter. Movie night.....check. Saturday morning we were up at 7 ready to go. We went by a garage sale with my mother in law, that ended up being my cousin's house. Small world. Then, we were off to pick farren up from the slumber party. After we got Farren from Haley's house, we headed to Garden Ridge to do some christmas decoration shopping. My husband seems to think we have enough, but I don't think you can ever have to many christmas decorations!! It is my favorite holiday!! Then we went by Conn's to look at some furniture and a new tv for our room. Mommy accidently broke the cable that the satelite plugs into on the tv, so no dish in our room. So, as a christmas present we are going to get a new tv on the wall for our room.=) After Conn's, it was back to the house to grab a quick lunch and let Keagan finish her nap. After lunch, we headed to a 2:00 movie to see Madagascar 2!! It was great and the girls loved it. Pheww.....Then we headed to Main Event for Farren's softball team party. The girls bowled, had cake and pizza, then got to play games. We ended up being ther until almost 8:00. Time for home. Thank god. We headed to the house. My sister in law, Wendi, and her boyfriend decided to stop by for a bit. So, they came over and we watched a movie. Finally off to bed around 11:30.....Heres where it gets interesting....5:30 a.m. rolls around, and I awake to my little one crying, just like every other morning. I go in and get her, sit down in the rocking chair to nurse her, our normal routine. She normally goes back to sleep for a couple of hours. Well, as I am nursing her, she begins to projectile vomit!! OH MY GOD I'm thinking. What is going on? I sit her up and she finishing throwing up and looks at me like....MOMMA WHY and WHAT??? Poor baby, I clean her off and hand her off to dad to clean myself off, as I have puke running down my stomach and legs....ewwwww!!!.... And to clean up her room. When I went to clean up her room, I noticed there was puke in her bed....so she must have thrown up sometime during the night but not awoke???? How scary! I load her up and we are off to Walmart to get some Pedialyte. The only place open at 5:45 in the morning. Return with pedialyte and start hydrating my baby. She is so thirsty and sucks down 4 ounces quickly. But before she finishing drinking, she sits up and begins to projectile vomit AGAIN!! Oh my god, poor thing. This is probably the saddest thing I have ever seen. I check her temperature, and nothing....its normal. So, we clean that mess up and give her a quick bath. A little time passes and we try again.....no luck, same thing. A little time passes and we try again. Nope....not yet....still throwing up. Poor thing, she is so thirsty, she kept grabbing at her cup to get a drink. I finally gave her little drinks at a time...and around 11 she took her first ounce and held it down. About 11:30 she took 2 more ounces and a few bites of cereal. Enough to fill her belly and let her rest for about 2 hours. She awoke from her nap hungry and thirsty. She drank and ate...and held it all down. Yeah!! But the poor baby had it coming out of the other end for the rest of the day....ewwww. Poor thing. I have no idea what was going on...I'm thinking some sort of stomach bug. She had no fever and was in a great mood. She wanted to stay in my lap but was happy and smiling. You woudn't have known she was sick if it wasn't for the throwing up. She was so worn out from it, she slept all night. Not something she normally does. And when she awoke this morning, she seems perfectly fine. WEIRD?!?!?!?!? So, I think I will be keeping close tabs on her today and hopefully we will get by without a doctor vistit.

OH, she did manage to stay up and watch the boys win!! She learned how to raise her arms by her head to signal a touchdown!! Its so cute! I will have to get it on camera. Yes Yes.....

My new favorite things.....

1. Dancing -Keagan loves loves loves dancing to music!! It is one of the cutest things I have ever seen.

2. Kisses - Keagan has started giving kisses (open mouth ofcourse) and I love every little one that I can steal!


3. Gymnastics -Farren has been flipping around the house, doing kartwheels and working on a roundoff, and working on a back bend. Keagan has tried to copy her and now gets up on all fours and raising her back right leg in the air for as long as she can. It is so stinkin cute, she wants to be just like Farren.

4. Basketball - Farren's basketball season is fixing to start, and I am so excited to watch her play this year. She has grown so much from the last time. We are planning on taking her to a Mav's game soon too. Go Farren Go!!

I have some pics to put up, but I got a new phone and have to download the program that allows me to download the pics. So soon, very soon.

Hope everyone is having an amazing week!

Happy Spoooooooooky Halloweennnnnn 2008...

Let me start by saying,.....I just love Halloween!! Both of my girls turned out toooo cute this year. And this year, we decided to dress up with them and take them trick or treating. How fun!!! My mom, Keagan, and I dressed up as bumblebees during the day for my moms work! And by night, I was a nurse, Farren was a dark angel, Keagan stayed her cute little bumblebee self, my sister was a cavewoman, and Chris was JACKIE MOON! Chris had, by far, the best costume!! We had so many people laughing at us it was unreal. We went to see my grandma first! She really wanted pictures of Chris! As usual, Grannie loaded everyone up with about 8 different kinds of candy! Then we went by to see Jessica, Kyle, and Riley! One of the neighbors there walked over to give us candy! He said he wasn't getting any trick or treaters, so he figured he would come to us! So....we got candy and headed to Grannie's house (Chris's mom), where we got loaded up with candy! Even Auntie! We had to empty the girls baskets to make room for more! We left there and went by the saginaw community center. They had rows of people set up to pass out candy, glow in the dark wristbands (Keagan's favorite), and popcorn! They had a bounce house, a halloween movie showing and a little hay ride! We left there and went to see Lisa. Stopped at a Haunted House one of her neighbors made in there front yard, got our goodie bag, and off we went! Next stop was mema and papas house (my mom and stepdad). They decided to walk with us and go to the few people we knew and trust on the couple blocks around us. We visited with Sharie and Riley, who was the cutest tinkerbell I have ever seen! And Finally, we headed to the house.......bathed.......and watched a couple scary movies to end our night! Oh and Farren ofcourse ate lots of candy! It was a great Halloween and I cannot wait to do it again next year!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!
