It's been a minute!

Well, I know I've not updated in over a week...shameful! I've just been a little busy on top of a crappy week last week. KJ went in for his 12 month shots (1month late because his bday is 2days before Xmas) and checkup last Wednesday. She asked how his ears were doing, and I told her that I noticed he began tugging on the right one again. Sure enough, when she looked in his right ear...she saw inflammation and "bulging." So, she puts him on Amoxicillin again after I told her that he had broken out in hives all over his body after completing the treatment before. Well...she says the same thing as the other pediatrician, "Since it happened after he finished then it's not the medicine...it's probably something that he got into." So, I say OOOOOKAY. He's two days into treatment and what happens...he breaks out in hives again. So now, I'm faced with having to switch antibiotics in the middle of treatment, give him benadryl for the hives, and Motrin/Tylenol for fever and pain. Yesterday he spiked a 102.5 fever as well as this morning. So, the poor little guy is going through some things right now. I just pray that he can stand this medicine. She also scares the crap out of me and says that the two antibodies could react with one another and cause breathing problems. So, again, I just pray that all is well with the switch and actual tolerance of this new antibiotic.

I've had a pretty stinky week as well, but things are getting better...I won't elaborate just yet...maybe one day.

I may be returning back to the work force...unfortunately. It'll only be part time if i go, but I still don't think I'm ready to leave the kiddo. I'm having separation anxiety LOL. If hubby finds a job that's comparable or better than now then, I think I will rejoin the SAHM ranks! I love being home taking care of my baby. It's THE most rewarding thing I've done in life to date. But sometimes in life you have necessary evils...one is working. The only good part is, is that I'll be working from home...but because I'll be on the phone the ENTIRE time and if Dad is working, I still have to worry about either someone coming over to watch him for a couple of hours or taking him somewhere. We'll see!

One highlight of the week is that I did enter the CX monthly scrapbook contest (per Meredith's suggestion...thanks so much girl! I never thought to do that!) for the month of January and I won!!! Yes, I won first place! It's for the layout that I did of little Ms. Jada. How cool is that? I will have 75 bucks of free scrappy shopping...wooo hooo!


Well I'm off to the trenches. Hopefully I'll be updating a little more often. Take care all :)

This makes me smile! I promise, my glasses are not that dirty and that my kid's nose is not usually that dirty! LOL!

For Andrea, a sneak peek at the color of my scrappy room. I haven't painted in weeks and still obviously need to go around the baseboards and such. The color is a tad darker than what it shows...the flash on my camera makes it look different, but you get the idea!
