Life is great. I'm taking today off of work because Autumn had her developmental doctor today. She is doing great. Her Gross Motor skills are at 7 months which is what Autumn is adjusted and her Fine motor skills are at 8/9month old. Yeah...she is doing good. The doctor wants her to gain more weight. She is up to 13lbs 4oz. Yeah!!! But the doctor thinks she should be gaining more, so that means we get to up the formula that we put in her water to make more calories. Which mean that we will go through more formula which means that I will be spending even more money on it...*sigh* of course it could be worse, I was looking at formula prices today and I found out that there are more expensive ones then the one Autumn is on so I should count myself lucky. Yeah!! The doctor wants her to start eating more solid foods, finger food. Yipee. This means that I need a high chair...I went to wal-mart after the developmental doctor to look for one...they are expensive, but ohh well...I will get one and be happy when Autumn throws things onto the floor from her high chair..squeeling in delight at the mess she has made.

After Wal-mart we went to Autumn's regular Doctor and found that Autumn has ANOTHER ear infection, I pray to God she doesn't have to get tubes, but this is the 4th or 5th ear infection since August. Ohh yeah she also has slight Bronchitis, so yipee another round of antibiotics. It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't just pass the illness back and forth to each other, but I don't know how to keep from doing that. I wash hands I sanitize, I do everything known to man to try and keep her healthy and it just isn't working...GROWL!!

Ohh well, we then came home and had a nap...whooo hooo for naps...love um....except the stupid cat came and decided it was a great time to play and bat me on the face... WTF....Stupid Cat...so I only got a 20min nap...which is guess is better then nothing...Straingly enough Autumn is still asleep. Poor little girl...so tired.

Now I think I will go to "Once Upon A Child" and look for a nice used high chair...
Then on to the Airport to pick up Jonathan's Sister, Annie. What fun...
Ohh then tonight we are going to the mall and Autumn will have her first visit with Santa....I can't wait...YEAH!!!!

Well, it has been a really long time since I posted anything. Everything is going great. Jonathan is home for good and is at work right now..or should be getting there soon. I am off today so I will play with the baby, when she wakes up, and then take her to get her shot this afternoon. I'm a bit under the weather, had a really bad upper respretory infection, but the Augmentin seems to be helping some. Yeah for that.

Thanksgiving is tomorrow..yeah for Turkey and stuffing..mmmm

Speaking of food I think it is time for breakfast...

Well, not much is going on in my life right now. School started and my 5th and 7th period classes are going to be a bit hard to manage, but I am determined to make the best of the situation and them. I'm actually glad to be back at school. I'm more tired, but I have even more things to take up my time with Jonathan being in Virginia. It will be tough on nights like tomorrow, when I have Meet the Teacher night. I will have to go pick Autumn up and take her with me. I don't mind since she is such an AWSOME baby.

Speaking of AWSOME baby...she rolled over from her tummy to her back on Sat. I was SOOO suprised. We were doing tummy time and she just swung over onto her back. She is such and AWSOME little girl. :) Well..little one needs fed so bye!!

Have a Peachy Day!!!

One day...only one day at the Darned daycare and Autumn gets a virus. It started out as a stuffy nose and cough. Her temp at the Drs today was 101. Not peachy!!! The nurse practitioner said that she didn't think that Autumns physical findings should cause a fever so she had a CBC and Urinalisis done on my poor little baby. Didn't she get enough of that in the hospital...Grr.

Anyhoo..since she has a fever, she can't go to the daycare and my first day of work is tomorrow...Great timing. (can you hear the sarcasm???) Luckly my pastor's wife and her two daughters are going to look after her tomorrow so I can get my first day in. I hate doing that though...my baby is sick..I want to take care of her. Ohh well...I have to do what I have to do.

I definatly hope she gets better REAL soon.

Have a Peachy Day!!!

Ok so this morning I'm up at 7am, feed Autumn, take a shower(yeah for not smelling bad), watch some TV, REad and around 10:20 decide to get off of my lazy butt and go to the mall and get the throw blanket I had made for Autumn, maybe shop a little for new school clothes and then take Autumn to the daycare and go work a little bit at Lyles.

Then I get a phone call from my coworker at Lyles right before I leave. She has just been offered a new job in Mesquite. Great, that means I might get the head job at Lyles, coolbeans. I'm freaking cause that means my whole life is about to change and I can tell you that change is not something I deal with well. She asks me if I would be willing to step up to the head directorship and I say yes, of course. So, she is off to tell the principle of the school that she has another job offer and needs to get out of her contract, totally expecting her to do it. Nope. The principle will not let her out of her contract, so I am back to everything being all back to normal. It sucks though cause after this year my position will not be avaliable. hmmm maybe that will be a good thing. If I can save up money then maybe I will be able to stay at home with Autumn. That would be great.

So needless to say, I didn't go to the mall, didn't take Autumn to the daycare and didn't go to Lyles to get any work done. *sigh*

I then had dinner with the Riley brothers and there was this really nice waitress who kept on calling me baby and cooing and ahhing over Autumn. It was fun.

Tomorrow I will get all the stuff done that I was going to get done today..hopefully....

Have a Peachy Day!!!!

Well, today was the first day of Daycare for Autumn. She was there a total of 3.5 hours while I went and set up my classroom. I cried, I stalled, and then I took a big breath and went to work as I looked at Autumn in the arms of a woman I had just met. Of course Autumn was smiling at her and happy as a clam, per usual...lucky for them. There was another new kid there and all he would do is scream. Not peachy. Anyhoo..I got my office all set up and then went and picked up my little baby girl. She was asleep. Which gave me time to eat and make a Dr. appointment for her to have her cyst looked at. *sigh*

On another note, the head director at Lyles has an interview at Mesquite today. If she gets it, I hope I get the head director at Lyles..it would make life sooo much better being at one school.

Anyhoo...I hear my angel asking for food...actually very insistant...so..toodles!!

Have a Peachy day!!!

Autumn went to the developmental dr yesterday and did a great job. They did some little exercises and she is right where she would be if she had been born on time. The doctor said that she has really good tone. Maybe she will be an athlete when she gets older, but I'm thinking more along the lines of dancer...hehehe. I can just picture her in a little tutu. Anyhoo..it can sometimes be bad for them though, cause they like to extend their legs and not flex them, which can hinder their crawling and walking, so I have to do exercises with her every diaper change, helping her flex her little hips,knees and ankles.

After the Dr. appointment I went and got some nice expensive steaks to grill on the new grill tomorrow. Woo Hoo...mmmm meat. I hope Jonathan will like them.


have a Peachy day!!!

Well, life is great. I have a wonderful baby girl, a wonderful husband, wonderful friends. I just thought I would say that my life is wonderful. :)

I have to start back to work next week, not officially until the 11th, but because Autumn will be going to Daycare I am going to start her on Monday for a few hours and add on each day next week. I'm definatly not looking forward to being away from her for so much of the day, but we need my paycheck. *sigh* In my ideal world I would be a stay at home mom, but sadly this is not going to happen.

I took Autumn to the Dr on Monday because of a bump on her right eyebrow that I had noticed. Turns out to be a dermatalogical cyst, so now we get to go see ANOTHER doctor. Autumn has seen more doctors in her 6months of life then both Jonathan and I combined. Autumn's Pediatrition said that it isn't anything to be worried about overly much, but that it will need to come out. *big sigh*

I am excited about taking her to the developmental doctor tomorrow though, hopefully she is doing well.

Friday is my hubby's b-day. I got him a gas grill and season 5 of the Andy Griffith show. Woohoo. I hope he likes the grill, don't all men like grills though? :) I had a friend of mine come over last night and put it together for me...yipee...We'll have steaks this weekend...mmmm good. :)

Ohh yeah, I fed Autumn her first babyfood yesterday. Rice cereal with applesauce. I think she liked it, she laughed a lot and it was fun to see her first expression when it got in her mouth. She did a lot more pushing it out then swallowing, but towards the end she actually started opening her mouth for it. I videotaped it for my hubby. Sadly the battery on my digital camera was dead so I couldn't take a still picture. :(

I'm going to get my hair cut today..not sure how I want it cut, but I know I want auburn color with highlights. I think I want to go short, I usually put my hair up anyway so why not go really short. Not sure what Jonathan will think, but hey its my hair. :)

Thats all for now... Have a Peachy Day!!!!

Well, I'm wondering if somehow Kailen's sickness has floated through the internet and fell on me...I sure feel ya hon...got about 3 hours of sleep last night if that...when I wasn't ill I was laying in bed staring at the ceiling.
All sorts of things were going through my mind at that time. I tried to get myself up to clean the house, I wasn't going to sleep so maybe I should do something perductive, alas I thought staring at the ceiling was a better thing to do by far then cleaning my house.
The thought went through my head "Oh my god what if I'm pregnant again" I mean, I'm sick to my stomach, dizzy sometimes, really bad indegestion. For the past week I have been getting nausous everytime I eat anything. Then I think to myself, yes, but I'm on the pill darn it, I can't be pregnant and then all the stories of people who got pregant while still on the pill came to mind. I won't be able to find out until next week sometime if I am or not....I pray that I'm not. It is way to soon to go through that again. Autumn is only 6months old for goodness sakes.... Please just be a bug....
So, with my head full of this I finally get to sleep at 3am only to be awakened at 6am by my stupid dog's jingly colar. Growl..I have at least another hour I can sleep...but alas my stomach and mind will not let me go back to sleep.

On another note, my cat was actually friendly towards me last night. She came up to me wanting to be petted. She has NEVER done that to me before. I'm thinking that hell may have frozen over, and then I get up this morning and she is her normal surley self. *sigh*

Oh another thing, I am deeply in love with my husband again, not that I ever wasn't really in love with him....good thing seeing as I have his child and have committed to being with him till death... I was just throughly pissed off. Hmmm I think I hear baby cry....must go tend to little one.

Torzan: Autumn is a girl...a GIRL Darn you!!! :)

Have a PEACHY Day!!!

Well, I am throughly depressed. My hubby stayed in DC this weekend so I won't get to see him for two weeks. I truly belived that I would be fine with this, but for some reason while I was on the phone with him tonight, I started crying and really really missing him.

I also got to thinking that I'm not really all that busy this week so I will miss him even more. Last week was pretty eventful, this coming week is not going to be. I'm looking forward to dinner Monday at Kick3's and Hawthorne,(.BTW..if you read this guys, what do you want me to bring...heheh)then on Tuesday having dinner with another set of friends, then Wed going up to my parents house and Jonathan is coming home Friday...yeah, but not until 9:30pm. I need more stuff to do. Things to keep my mind occupied, other then the TV. It is sad when you have your day planned out by TV shows...lets see...8am Charmed, 9am ER, 10am ER, 11&12 Judging Amy, 1:00 Boy meets world 2:00 Full House 3pm Charmed 4pm Gillmore Girls, 5&6 Seventh Heaven...*sigh* Sad huh? Ohh well.

Autumn turns 6months old tomorrow...totally mind blowing to me. It seems like she hasn't been here that long. She truly is my little miracle, my Angel, my Hope. Anyhoo...she is growing up so fast. We go to the doctor tomorrow for her 6mth checkup and I'm a little upset that we are not seeing her regular doctor, but somthing came up and they had to either rescheule me for a later date or see me at the same time, different doctor. I chose the other doctor. Ohh yeah, she has another doctor's appointment Friday, her eye doctor. This should be the last time we see him. Last time he said that she was getting much better and that this should be it. Woo hoo. One less doctor to worry about, one less medical issue to worry about with Autumn.

I don't remember when, but I think that within the next week or two Autumn has an appointment with the development dr. I'm actually worried about her development. She isn't doing some things that she should be doing, like reaching and grabbing for things, and she is still having problems holding her head up. I think that should be better by now, but I don't know. She is still basically like a two month 3 week old. *sigh* I'm probably worried about nothing, but I guess it is my right to worry. I'm sure everything will work out alright though...because my little Autumn is AWSOME..

Yahoo..time feed Autumn a go to bed...mmmm sleep. :)

Have a Peachy Day!!!

Well, I went to my parents house yesterday and had lunch with my high school voice teacher. She looked great and her kids are looking so grown up...I used to babysit them...gosh I feel old. They are in middle school and Junior high now. Ohh my gosh.

I love my mom dearly, but I sure wish she would quit smoking. I come home from her house smelling like a bar. ick. She is at my house taking care of Autumn while I go to a score reading convention. It's pretty cool. I'm having fun singing through all different sorts of choral music all day. And I praise God that I'm not an Elementary school music teacher. So little pay for SO much work. Wow and the energy you have to have. Not me..middle school is definatly my forte. Yeah for Middle School Choir!!

Tomorrow I get to sing through more music, hip hip hooray!! :) I'm excited.

Howdy all...Yeah, it is my first attempt at a blog/live journal. Not much has happened to me today. I took my sister-in-law to the airport this morning. We left at the ungodly hour of 6:15am...after waking up frantic at 6:00am and screaming up to the upstairs bedroom...WAKE UP Annie, the alarmclock didn't go off. Ahhhh...rush rush, get baby in the car seat..no time to brush teeth...grumble. Ohh well...luckly the traffic wasn't bad and I got her to the airport in plenty of time...Go Me!!! :)

I also got Jonathan's stupid car back from the shop..cost me 800 bucks to fix the air conditioner. I could think of many many great things to do with 800 bucks, not a single one of them being fixing that stupid camero. Ohh well, at least when Jonathan is home he will be able to drive around with AC..which is actually a very bad thing to go without in this Texas heat.

Anyhoo, as you may have noticed I have put a pic of my lovely little girl Autumn Hope on this entry...isn't she cute?? :) I have to say that the one great thing about having family staying here is that I can hand that lovely girl off a couple of times a day for them to feed or change her diaper. *sigh*

Anyhoo...Have a Peachy Day!!!
