Pink Eye…

Maybe? Hope not? Looks like Diego may have pink eye. His teacher called. It seems that it is going around his school. Made a doctor’s appointment at 4:30 for today. Hopefully it is not pink eye.

I just wish both of my kids and both of us were ill-free. I just hope once this passes we won’t be sick for a very, very long time. I’ll update later.

Still Sick…

Mia now has a double ear infection. Poor baby. She was doing really well when she first started the antibotics. Her runny nose and coughing went away. But on Monday, she started to get a runny nose. Then the coughing came back. Then she got a fever. Then she woke up with goopy eye. Well, you get the idea: she wasn’t getting better.

So back to the doctor (good thing we had an appointment). She checked her left ear, the infection is worse. She then checked her right ear and the beginnings of an ear infection was seen. She checked her throat and noticed some redness but she thinks it is the drainage that is causing that.

So a new round of antibotics for her. No shots for her, again. Next appointment is March 17. *sigh*

15 Months…

Mia had her 15 month old check up today. (OMG SHE IS FIFTEEN MONTHS OLD ALREADY!!!) She is doing well. As always, she hated: being weighed, measured (both head and body) & her heart and lungs checked. But she did stay put for her eye and ears. Gotta love her diva-ness.

Her stats are:
Weight: ~20 lbs (10%)
Height: 32 in (90%)
Head: 17 3/4 (25%)

The doctor told her something I will never ever hear in my lifetime ( 😉 ): She is tall and skinny. 😛 She sure is. Love that girl.

I also mentioned that Mia’s had a slight cold for a few weeks. So when she checked her ears, she right away said she had a small ear infection(!!!). So she was prescribed some antibotics. Since she is sick, she got out of her shots. But when we go for her followup in two weeks, she won’t.

Next appointment: March 3.

Strep Throat…

That is what Diego has. Poor kid! He threw up last night before going to bed. He felt feverish. So gave him some tylenol and went to bed. This morning, he woke up with a sore throat and feverish. He also threw up again. When he said he had a sore throat, it set off bells for us.

Eric stayed home and got him a doctor’s appointment for later in the afternoon. Diego was not feeling good at all. He wanted Mama but I had to go work. But I did talk to him on the phone. I felt so bad I couldn’t be there for him.

So later, Eric called me and told me it was strep throat. Doctor saw his throat was red and swollen. Goodness. He was prescribed some antibotics for ten days.

I don’t like when when my family is sick. 😦 I am hoping for a quick recovery.

Sledding…

Finally!! Diego has been asking to go sledding for quite a while now. Last time it snowed, we weren’t even here. But it has been snowing since this morning so there was about 6 inches to take advantage of.

Plus it was Mia’s first time in the snow so that was fun. She had a good time. Caught her putting her hand/mitten in the snow while I was pulling her. She is using Diego’s little sled while he had the new big boy sled. His sled turned over a few times in the snow but Diego did not mind. He was just having lots of fun. I think we all did. 🙂

It was dark so not many pictures were taken.

I got to pull Mia. And Eric had the honor to spill Diego every few minutes. 😆
Sledding!!!

Mia’s 1st time sledding. She had a big grin the whole time she was on the sled.

Bad picture but keeping it anyway. Love the way there is a snowflake on Diego’s nose.
Boy and Papa

We might go out tomorrow if the snow is still nice. I know Diego wants to go again.

New Kicks…

Mia is now a proud owner of her first walkers. She has only been using Robeez or Pedipeds but it was time for real walking shoes. They are nice and flexible so it should be a nice transition for her. She was trying them out yesterday and she kept looking down at them. She was probably thinking “What in the world?”

Another first for my little one. *sigh*

Saying T00dles…

to the ’00s. (Get it? *sigh* Nevermind.)

So here we are, the last day of the ’00s. So many things have occured in the world but instead of rehashing that, I will rehashed what happened in MY world.

  • Bought a house in ’03
  • Got a cat in ’04
  • Bought a SUV in ’05
  • Had two children in ’05 and ’08
  • Ran two half marathons: first one in ’07 and the second in ’09
  • Drove to Mexico in ’02 and ’05
  • Saw my bestest friends get married
  • Saw the same number of friends have babies
  • Went to Disney in ’00 and ’07
  • Went on our first and only cruise to the Bahamas in ’04
  • Went to Las Vegas, New York City & Los Angeles for the first time
  • Eric’s grampa (his dad’s dad) passed away
  • Eric’s uncle (his dad’s brother) passed away (first sibling to die from both sides of the family)
  • I know there are more events that happened during these last ten years. Who knows what will happen in the teens (is what the next decade is going to be called?) but I am sure it will be documented better.

    Happy New Year everyone! Goodbye to the old and hello to the new. Bring it, I’m ready.

    First Hair Cut…

    Mia finally got her first hair cut at Kidsnips.  Poor kid really needed one.  So before the holiday festivies started, we took her to get all her hairs snipped.

    Punk Rocker Hair

    It started well. Molly put some Dora on the TV. Then the cutting commenced. No crying. Then she started to get a bit ansy but still sitting fine.

    The Calm Before the Storm

    Molly was done with the cutting. But the minute she started putting some flower clips to style Mia’s hair, the water works started. *sigh*

    Waterworks Started!

    The obligatory first hair cut picture was taken. We were given a cute certificate with a lock of her hair and picture. Even though she was cranky, she still looked really cute and we love the new hair.

    All Done
