Avery's big girl haircut

All Done!!  We had Avery's hair cut tonight! We went to a place that just does Kids hair cuts (Cookie Cutters) and knows how to make it fun  it only took like 15 min and Avery was a good girl and let the nice girl cut her hair. 

 Distracting Avery while we cut her hair! 

This is the before......she wasn't happy with the jacking up of the chair, it scared her. But she was able to be calmed down with a DVD movie!

Neti Pot

Ok so we all know I have been SO sick with a bad cold for over a week now. I guess being sick and being preggers don't mix.   Anyways I couldn't breath what soever and my whole face was killing me to a point that I could not sleep. One night I was up til 3 AM! Yikes! Well Chris  kept talking about this Neti pot and how it was on Oprah. I thought he was crazy Chris knowing anything that was on Oprah... weird!  After a couple days of agonizing pain Chris said thats it I'm going to Walgreens and I'm buying you a neti pot! He came home and I was horrified to find out I had to dump the stuff into my nose!!! At first I felt as though I was going to drown.  It didn't help that Chris was all up in my face video taping me since I was freaking out!  Well once he put down the camera and once I relaxed I finished the cleanse and taada! I could actually breath!!!! It is actually quite amazing! So to anyone who has a cold or can't breath try the neti pot!!!

The results are in....And its a...........

Its a.....

Can you tell? Well yesterday I dragged my sick b-hind to Fetal Fotos and we got to find out the gender of our little bundle of joy.  At first the cord was in between the babies legs and we couldn't tell. The lady had me lay on my side and I was like we better find out today! Avery said to the baby," Move Baby! Move move!" And the baby did! Avery has thought the whole time she is going to have a sister. In fact she talks about it all the time. And..... She was right we are having another baby girl!!!!!! HURRAY!

What the In-N-Out?!!!!!

This is so stinkin funny!

Chris showed me this the other night and I couldn't stop laughing. I was truly a laugh out loud moment. By the way Avery for some reason calls this little boy buddy? I don't know why. Anyways just had to share some laughs with everyone. Enjoy!

Long nights, lots of hugs and snuggles

So most of you have heard Miss Avery has Phenomena.  Now I am a quite the germaphob mom we don't play around sick kids and use lots of hand soap and hand sanitizer. It has been ingrained into my head before Ave was even born. Since she was born so early I was prepped that I had to be a germaphob if I wanted Avery to stay out of the hospital. And we made it over 2 years without anything to serious. Yesterday Avery was acting really weird. Usually even when she is sick she is on the go playing running around playing. But yesterday was different. It all started last week when she started sounding horse. I just thought she was getting the cold that EVERYONE had.  Thursday night she started a fever and some congestion. A little cough that seemed worse at night and in the morning. It continued but didn't seem alarming. Saturday she seemed to be feeling better. Sunday a little worse. But Monday something just wasn't right. She layed around completely lethargic.  Wanted to lay in my bed and watch movies. She fell asleep on the couch and my bed which she has never done in her life. I called Chris and he suggested to call the doc. They had me come in since she had a fever and a cough.  Sure enough the doc said she was pretty sure Avery had pneumonia and we had to go the hospital for an XRay.  We headed over there and she didn't want to have her picture taken. She pretty much freaked out. I then realized I couldn't even be in the room cause I was pregnant so I had to leave my screaming baby alone...I was almost in tears. We waited in the waiting room for the results and sure enough the doc confirmed she has Phenomena; but it is only a mild case. So thank goodness I took her into the doctor.  They pretty much told us to go home and watch her breathing if it got worse to call the doc immediately and she may be hospitalized.  Chris drove Ave home while I took the trek to fill her prescription and get some dinner.  I first went to Walgreens. It was an 1 hour and 15 minutes wait. Ya right I felt like crap (I have a cold too) and I needed to get home to my sick baby. So I drove to Smiths Market Place.  It was only a 15 minute wait HURRAY! So I got some soup and rolls and got a balloon for my sickie which pretty much took 15 minutes to get. Got the prescription and I as off. I got home took out the medicine and noticed it was in powder form. What? Never had that. Then I read the directions and it seemed backwards since I read the written prescription before I gave it to the pharmacist. So I called the pharmacy and they assured me the directions were right but were a little different since they had run out of the lesser strength meds. I then asked hey this is in powder how does that work? OH...... you need to bring that back and get it mixed. GREAT! Not only did I feel sicker by the minute I didn't want to go all the way back. I still wasn't satisfied either will the dosage and decided to call my doctor. Ya the dosage WAS wrong and I would have been giving her 3 times the amount she was suppose to have. Anyways at this moment I was done. I drove back and got the meds mixed and a new dosage paper printed. Ya DO NOT GO TO THAT PHARMACY. I won't ever go back. That is a HUGE mistake to make. They could kill someone by doing this. Anyways I was finally home and the long night began with cuddling catching puke and rocking Avery back to sleep. Poor thing. I hope she gets some much needed rest tonight.  At least today she is starting to get back to her old self and her fever is WAY lower. 

Cutest thing ever!

 

Avery loves to sing! She will always sing along with the radio and can sing Twinkle Twinkle little star and many more songs. Every night after we read stories we sing songs. Chris heard Avery singing and grabbed the camera you can't see much and don't mind me singing but you can hear Avery singing I am a Child of God.

Another Baby Update

So yesterday I wasn't feeling too hot. I have been having this really bad headaches everyday and the doctor thinks its so weird since I didn't have any when I was pregnant with Avery.  Our neighbor is a nurse and lent us her blood pressure cuff since every time I have had a really bad headache I felt like I did when I had high blood pressure with Avery (that is why she was born at 33 weeks) Anyways yesterday I felt horrible and took my blood pressure. Not good. I kept reading really high. I took it six times and 4 of those were way high.  I didn't know if the cuff was reading wrong or something but I did call the doctor and they pretty much told me I had to get someone drive me to the E.R. I talked them into letting me come into the office to double check.  Sandy rushed to our house from school and my friend Genessa  came also. Sandy stayed with Ave since she is way sick and G took me to the Doctor.  I was freaking out. I can't already have high blood pressure! I can't be on bed rest or be put in the hospital! Not yet! Well my blood pressure ended up being fine but they still made me see one of the midwives since all the doctors had left for the day.  She couldn't explain the headache or anything just like my doctor. We listened to the heartbeat again and off I went grateful that I didn't have to be hospitalized.  I came home tested the cuff again and it gave me a normal reading so who knows what happened. I am so grateful for Sandy and Genessa thanks guys for rushing to my rescue!  I then took my headache medicine that I hate taking cause it makes me loopy and took a nap til Chris got home.  

Baby Update

We had another doctor appointment today and things looked good.  The doctor can't explain my bad cramps and sharp pains which kinda stinks, growing pains maybe? No ultrasound which was weird; but we did hear the heartbeat again which always makes me feel better. The doc thinks its a girl because the heart rate was around 160-165 so we will see.  Avery also thinks she is having a sister.  We have a gender ultrasound set for the 14th! Valentines day hurray!
