Gingerbread Bears!

My niece Madison & I made our own gingerbread bears while Josh watched. He wasn't too happy with just watching but he would have just eaten the bears instead of decorating them. It is snowing too!! Not a lot but we have a slight dusting on the ground!! I can't wait for more!! Here is a link to the slide show since I can't get it to show up here?

Another iPod?

So the iPod shuffle I got Jason for our 5 year anniversary got ruined a few months ago. He was on the lawn mower at work and went through a swarm of bees and he lost it. Well...he found it a week later with the lawn mower! So it is totally ruined. Did I mention it had been rained on it too!! I think he might have had it for 4 months?? So for Christmas I just ordered him one off of http://www.bestbuy.com/ It was on sale for $149, free shipping, plus I got a $20 gift card with free shipping! Now I've got to keep it a surprise and hope he doesn't get it when it gets shipped here!

Happy Turkey Day!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope everyone has a nice day off with the family (if you have off?) I know my place is open but the Pharmacy is closed!!

Paul Rudd

I was at work last night and he came into the Pharmacy! That was about the only excitement last night. Work was awful because we are closed today. It was insane!! Anyway...he was quite cute :)

Diaper Rash?

Ugh! The other night Josh pooped and I guess never woke up! So the next day he woke up at 5:30ish and was complaining about his butt! So now he has a bad diaper rash that is slowly going away but...now the poor thing has diarrhea. I hope it will clear up soon! He cries every time we touch his butt! Sorry if its TMI!

Gas!

Has anyone else noticed gas has been going and going and going DOWN! I thought I would never ever say that again! Right now gas is $2.37!! What are your gas prices?? I'm sure some one is cheaper than New York.

Noah is here!

Baby Noah has finally arrived!! He was born November 15, 2008 at 8:31 am!! To the left is the birth announcement I made for my sister. He was supposedly only 38 weeks but after he was born they figured out he was actually 35 weeks. He was having a problem with his blood sugar but everything is ok now!

Labor Update!

So I went to go see my sister on my lunch break today and brought her lunch and at that point she was only 2.5 cm. Around 2 ish she was 3 cm so they broke her water. They started getting worse but still 3 minutes apart. Then I stopped by after work (6 ish) and brought dinner and she was still 3 cm and the contractions were getting slower. So when the doctor comes in some time tonight they will talk about using Pitocin. So...so far no new baby :( Hopefully by tonight or tomorrow Noah will be here??

Labor!!

My little sister is in labor! She went into the hospital last night around 6 pm because she lost her muscus plug. Then they sent her home around 8 pm. She was only 2 cm dilated so they told her to come back when the contractions got closer together. So I will probably have a new baby today!! She is only 2 weeks early now so it isn't as bad as the last few times she went into labor. Wish her luck!

Mary Louise Parker?

Ok so I was at work today all day (surprise?) and around 4ish I had an older lady say before she left "You look like Mary Louise Parker, have you got that before?" First off I have no clue what to say because I have no clue who she is and the name doesn't ring a bell. So of course I write the name down so I don't forget when I get home so I can look it up. Now that I'm home and I now know who she is I'm thinking ok...I don't look like her but thanks for thinking that! Also now that I think about it too...the lady had just got out of knee surgery and is probably all doped up and was getting pain medication anyway...so...yeah...

Love you!

Josh finally learned how to say love you! It is so cute too! I know it is dark I was basically using it like a voice recorder because we were in the car driving back from the shower.

By the way the baby shower went very well! Everyone loved the food...plus I have some leftovers to bring to work for this weeks lunch!

The Weekend!

What a long, long Friday! My sisters baby shower is coming up on Sunday and I asked to get out of work yesterday at 5 pm instead of 7 pm. So I worked 9 am to 5 pm. Then went grocery shopping for the party & started cooking stuff so I don't have to do so much the day of the party. I was cooking for about 3 hours and didn't get home till 10:30 pm. Then was up till about midnight. Then for some reason I woke up when Jason woke up this morning at 5:30 am and never was able to fall back asleep. I only have about 2 more items to cook then I'm done until Sunday when I have to assemble stuff. The menu is...

♥ Raspberry & apricot linzer cookies
♥ English Toffee
♥ Italian pasta salad
♥ Caesar Club Sandwich- with chicken breast, panchetta, parmesan cheese, arugula, & caesar dressing on ciabatta bread.
♥ Ham, swiss & arugula quiche
♥ Raspberry lemonade spritzer

Getting better

So Daycare wont take Josh until next week! He isn't contagious anymore and I told her that but...oh well. I was able to get my little sister to watch him yesterday and now that my parents are back from Florida she will watch him today and tomorrow! Thank goodness for family I don't know what I would have done?? Josh is feeling much better though! He is eating again and not so cranky. He still has the spots on his hands and feet but they are slowly going away.

Update: Chicken Pox

False alarm!! No chicken pox...I had looked it up on www.webmd.com thinking it was that but nope. After his nap he had his doctor's appointment and it turned out to be Coxsackie Virus aka hand, foot, mouth disease. So he should be better soon and I may or may not be home with him tomorrow depending on Daycare.

Chicken Pox

Josh has chicken pox! So I guess the fever he had from the molar coming in was probably from the chicken pox and his molar. My poor baby! I noticed yesturday on his hand that he had a pimple on his hand. Well this morning it looked like he had about 10 other "pimples" on his hand and some on his feet! So he can't go back to Daycare for about 2 weeks. I took off today and I don't know what I'm going to do about tomorrow but my parents come back from Florida Wednesday night so she can watch him Thursday & Friday. Who knows about the rest of next week?? A plus to this is I finally get to spend a WHOLE day during the week with him!!

Molars

So...since Halloween night (after trick or treating) he has had a fever, hasn't eaten, and has been drooling constantly. Let me tell you out of all of his teeth the molars are the worst!! He wont even drink water for me and he turned down breakfast, lunch, & dinner yesterday and lunch today. He is going to shrivel up! Wish me luck that they come in quickly because he has just been whining and crying all day. I feel so bad for my baby!
