Sick baby

So last week the baby started to get sick. It was a lot of sneezing and coughing. This happened about a month ago and when we took her in the doc basically said unless she has a fever, pulling at her ears like they are bothering her or she is eating different then to just let it pass. There isn't much they can do for a baby who's that little. Well after a week of her being like this, I finally took her to the doc on Tuesday. After examining her closely they believe she has allergies. I just can't imagine how she has allergies at 5 1/2 months!!! So we now have a machine that is a nebulizer inhaler. It's got the little mask that you have to try and hold up to her mouth. She does ok with it but she moves around a lot so I am constantly moving the mask around with her face. I know she would freak if I tried to use the straps to put it on her so I will just do that for now. They also referred her to an allergist to see if he can give her anything for the congestion in her nose. I'm hoping so!! I have to call them today because they gave Dec. 30 as the first appt available for her but I just can't imagine going two more weeks with her like this. Hopefully the inhaler helps with the coughing. The hardest part is she is too little for the allergy test so it will be awhile before we know what she is allergic too. I just hope we can find something for her soon. Ben has a lot of allergies (environmental) so she definitely takes after him in that department!

I still can't believe Christmas is next weekend!! I'm pretty much done with shopping - just need to finish Ben's mom and then give his uncle some money for his grandpa's gift. I do have some wrapping to do and I'm making picture frames for Ben's Aunt/Uncle and Grandparents so I need to finish putting those together this weekend and wrap them. But I feel good about being pretty much done with everything!

Next week is going to be a quiet week at work! It always is because our field people aren't really doing too much work. Hopefully i find some things to keep me busy because it's going to be such a long week if not. It will be nice though - I only have to work Tues-Thurs! And same for the following week because of New Years! I love this time of year! I do need to post some pics of our Christmas Tree and I need to also come back and post our family pics (which turned out GREAT).

Pics Only!

Sorry they are out of order but here are some newer pics...

Family Pics this weekend

Well this week at work went by pretty fast. I had a lot of things to get done. Last night we went to dinner with Ben's mom and her new boyfriend. Ben's great aunt and her grandson came also. It was a good time. Me and Ben also got went to look at TVs and furniture. I think we might be getting both when tax time comes. We will see. For sure we are getting a TV and furniture is a possibility too. Depends on how much we get back from taxes and how much my bonus is. Not counting on much for my bonus because we didn't do well as a company this year. But I'm very excited about getting a new TV, our old big screen is a projection TV and it was handed down to us from Ben's parents. So it's quite a few years old and the picture  quality has to gone.

Our family pictures are tomorrow and I'm very excited! I can't wait to see what amazing things she does with our  family. She did wonderful with my maternity pics so I"m sure she will do great with these as well.

My bug stayed at my sister's last night so I've just been cleaning up around the house and getting ready. I think I migt be doing some scrapbooking with my sister today. I'm excited! I got some pics printed last night (almost 100 of them for a great deal!). So hopefully we get some time to do them.

I can't believe Christmas is only a few weeks away! My how the time has flown. I will probably do a post with some pics next just to update everyone (if anyone even reads this...)
