River had his appointment with the ENT doctor today. She wants to put tubes in his ears. He goes for surgery 12/21.. I hope it helps him..
I had my final today in Integ. I'm officially a Semester 3 nursing student. YAY.
Too tired to think of anything else to type right now.
Today is my last day of my 6 day weekend. I am ready to go back to school. I'm not used to having all this free time and it's confusing LOL. Wednesday I went to work with Linda and helped her get closer to caught up on stuff she's behind on. Barely made a dent but at least I made the effort. Thursday a friend of mine came over to watch a movie and have some take out Chinese (Yummy!!!). Friday, Doug came home early from work to start his weekend a few hours early but we really didn't do much. On Saturday we went to a parenting event. We have someone that comes from a state run organization once every 2 weeks to give us things we can do with River to build his development skills etc.. Well each time she comes out or each time we go to a parenting support group they hold once a month we are awarded what they call Baby bucks and twice a year they hold a "parenting event" where they have a baby bucks store and other activities to do. This one on Saturday was their Christmas/Holidays one. They had a bunch of brand new toys donated to the event and we were given a chance to spend them. Most of the event was REALLY BORING. River was SO tired but we wanted to wait for the baby bucks store because we'd saved about 140 bucks for it. Around 11am "Santa" came to visit all the kids. We got in line to get a picture done just because we thought it would be great memorbilia later on and we were one person away from Santa River fell asleep. We gave him to Santa anyway but he never woke up. LOL So we decided to try it again later once he woke up. Just as Santa was about to get up and leave, River woke up so we got his picture taken.....
(You can still see the red mark on his cheek from him sleeping on my shoulder LOL)
Then when we got back from seeing Santa they had the Baby Bucks Store. We made out with lots of goodies for the munchkin... Here is what we got him (we've also gotten him a few other things for his loot)
Sunday we didn't do anything but relax because the weekend was over. I am off today still but still got up about 7 because I don't want to get TOO far off getting used to getting up at 6:10.. Doug went in to get River up this morning and decided to get a picture of him sleeping first :)
He'll be 10 months old in a week! Where the heck has the time gone???
My day today will consist mostly of trying to straighten up the house which looks like a small tornado went through it this weekend LOL. Oh the fun :)
Kick ASS!!!!!
So we've been trying to figure out what to get River for Christmas/Yule.
We decided on a few toys and a few videos (from the Baby Einstein collection) and some diapers perhaps.
Yesterday we went to Wal-Mart and looked around after all the sales had ended to see if anythign striked our fancy as far as toys for River. We found a few things we wanted but decided to wait until after Christmas to get them because we want to make sure that people don't get him the things we were planning on getting him and what not. But I still wanted to get him a few videos.
So I got on line this morning and went to E-bay to play around for a while and checked out what they had as far as Baby Einstein videos saw that they had a bunch of videos and some box sets. I ended up bidding and winning on a 22 DVD Box Set brand new which normally retails for about 370 dollars... I got it for 51.00 shipped :) WOW!!!! So he'll have the entire DVD collection here in a few days. YAY!!!!!!
So the next thing on my list is more diapers.. which are hella expensive but I found out the other day that we can layaway diapers online. :) So I'm going to put down a certain amount on a dozen more diapers and then pay it off over the next month or 2 months and he'll have another 12 diapers:) YAY!!!!
Winning the auction so totally made my day :)
Hey All,
It's been a while. I'm tired. So I don't know how long this entry will be but I felt that I should update before it got to be too much stuff to update about.
School is going good. I just completed my second rotation of clinicals. Am getting to do alot more now. Pass meds, give injections, document on offical paperwork, insert NG tubes, all sorts of cool stuff. :) But it's tiring as HELL!!!! Tomorrow I have a final in Med Surg THANK THE GODS. That was a 7 week class and it was a bitch. We still have the same instructor for another class though but luckily there are only 8 days of actual theory for that class. UGHH that's going to be a bitch. From what everyone says the next class "Integumentary" is that instructors favorite subject so she is really anal about it blah blah blah.. she is already overly anal as it is.
Doug and I's 1 year anniversary was Friday. He took me to The Fondue House for dinner. It was a 2 1/2 hour affair but it was AWESOME! It was my first time trying Fondue and I can't wait to go ago. We were going to go to a movie afterward but I was exaughsted and stuffed so we came home and just relaxed which was just as nice too :) It was so romantic, he made the reservations 2 weeks ago and managed to keep it a surprise until we pulled up. I did know we were going there but I had figured it out on my own :)
River had to go to the doctor last Tuesday because his cough wasn't getting any better. She says he had another ear infection and put him on an antibiotic to clear that up. She also listened to the cough and his lungs and put him on a nebulizer for a week with Albuterol. She says he MIGHT have asthma :( I hope not :( He is officially 9 months old now and He goes back tomorrow afternoon for his 9 month Well Baby so I will update again tomorrow with all the good stuff and what she says and all that.
Doug and I are finally caught up in bills for the most part. I think we have one more outstanding bill and the rest are caught up and paid and all that. YAY!!!! Doug has been working at Comcast for 2 1/2 months now. YAY!!!! Anyway. I need to go shower and get ready for tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing good.
I 'll leave you with a couple pictures of the munchkin from last week.
