ATL trip

cousin Gabriel

HUH what can I get into?

Playing outside

Friday we left for ATL. We had an interesting ride down. Ava did great. She had her new car seat turned around front facing. She watched her new DVD player most of the way. We got pulled over by a Trooper that I might add was very friendly. We were both just like well great...and trying to figure out how much our ticket would be. Lets just say it was going to be a big one. Well much to our surprise he just gave us a warning. I will thank the Lord for that because he is the only one that got us out of paying big.

Friday night we spent time with the family and ate dinner. Saturday we went shopping and then ate lunch with his mom/dad. We enjoyed the day!! Saturday night was the singing. Sunday was church and then time with the family.

Ava had a blast playing with everyone and walking around Nana's house. She got into her Tupperware cabinet and all paw paw's magazines. OH and cousin Gabriel is growing fast. It won't be long till he will be running around playing with Ava. She was trying to give him her juice. :)

Weekend

Adam was off this weekend and I of course had already planned around his being off. He came off nights Friday morning and so I knew he would need to sleep some...But we were going to go to Hville to run some errands that night. I woke him up around 3 and I could tell he wasn't feeling good. You know he supposedly had shingles and some eye infection. His eye was BAD. He couldn't even stand light. So me and Ava just stayed out of his way and he rested in the dark all afternoon. Saturday morning he was suppose to watch Ava while I went to yard sales. Well he didn't feel like it so I said forget it. I woke up at like 5 or 6 something and just decided I wanted to go anyways so I took Ava with me. Mom and dad tagged along. We didn't find anything worth getting up that early but it was nice getting out. We did some shopping in Hville and ate lunch at Logans! Saturday night was church and Adam was still not feeling good so he stayed home. Sunday morning though he woke up feeling better. Thank God! It was my month to work in the kitchen at church so that was my afternoon. Then church last night was good. Adam feels so much better so he is stopping his medicine.
So another week has begun today....its gorgeous outside. I plan on going to get groceries and maybe letting Ava enjoy being outside. Adam is in a training week at work so he will be getting home earlier. YAY!

Walking

My baby is walking! Its so weird to see her up walking around. I guess I think she should still be a tiny baby. I hope this video works. I have never tried uploading one into blogger world.

stressed but thankful

My title pretty much sums up what I am feeling today. First I will start with my stressed thoughts. I have some health issues that I need to have seen about but I keep putting it off. I just don't want to go through all the tests again and have NO answer. Its so frustrating!!! It seems like since Ava has been born its been so much worse.....maybe stress is the factor. I don't know.

Then Adam went to the doctor this morning with what he thought was a rash on his face and a pink eye. I told him right when I saw it, it looked like shingles to me (seeing that I am the expert since I have had them 2 times). Sure enough I was right. Dr. T said it was shingles and the eye was just infected. Thank god Ava got her chicken pox vaccine at her last appointment. The dr. seems to think they aren't that contagious since they are blistering over already!

On to the Thankful thoughts... Ava is healthy!!!!!! A prayer request was asked Sunday night and last night at church for a 3 month old baby that is having kidney problems. That automatically takes me back to when I was pg with Ava and the doctors said her kidneys were enlarged or abnormal. It broke my heart to hear about this baby because I know what that mother is going through in some aspects. I am not sure all the details but as far as I understood she is missing one kidney and the other one isn't functioning. I might be incorrect with my information. It sent chills all over my body because they said the baby was born with a fever and they couldn't tell why. The dr. in Birmingham told me that is exactly what would happen to Ava after birth if her kidneys were posing a problem. What shocks me about this little baby is this problem wasn't caught early in the pregnancy with ultrasounds. Needless to say I am pouring my heart out to God to help this child! I feel so blessed and humbled to know he healed my baby!

Easter 2010

Yesterday was Easter and although this is Ava's second Easter last year doesn't really count. She was only 1 month old. This year she was able to eat candy and play with eggs. We went to church and then had an Easter egg hunt. She was beyond tired and not really in a good mood like I hoped for. She didn't like hunting eggs. She really just wanted to go to sleep. So we took some pictures and videos and let her put a few eggs in her basket then called it a day. As you can tell from pictures Adam was working. He hated to miss this day and I missed him a lot too.

I was very glad God gave us such a nice day. Usually Easter is cold and windy. Just for the record Ava loves peeps.....like mother like daughter. :)

Vent

Beware this might not be a light hearted fun read. I am aggravated. Now let me begin saying this is very trivial compared to big problems other people are facing. This isn't life shattering or something that i need....This is all about a want I guess you would say.
Some of you may remember that I was ordering us a new bedroom suite. Ok, that was over 5 weeks ago. The sales lady said it would be 3-4 weeks. I called last week to check and the lady said it was suppose to be in the ATL warehouse last Thursday. So I called Monday expecting it to be in by then. Well it wasn't and the lady didn't really have an news. I waited and called yesterday. The lady was like well I never heard back. I told her to call me as soon as she did. Well she called back and said it was bad news. The ATL warehouse didn't expect to get it in till MID MAY!!!!!!!!!! I was beyond upset and aggravated. I mean they should have known this and informed me much sooner. They told me I could get my money back but for what reason. If we went and picked out another set it would probably take just as long to get it in. Not to mention finding another one me and Adam both agreed on.
So we have our king size mattress expected for delivery today. We moved out our old bedroom suite because we thought the new one was on its way. So we are sleeping in the guest bedroom which is growing smaller by the day. I have all my stuff in boxes. Yes being OCD like I am this is all driving me nuts!

On another note.....Ava's eating habits are stressing me out. She is picky to say the least. She only wants goldfish, Cheerios, lil crunchies or bananas. Basically she likes crunchy stuff. She refuses any table food other than french fries. Everyone is like oh give her mashed potatoes or mac and cheese. Nope...she doesn't like that. I have tried crunchy healthy stuff like carrots but she doesn't like that either. Her doctor wasn't concerned at all. He said kids go through stages and I know that.....but I have to find things she will eat.

Ok, vent over! :) To end with something positive. Adam has been off this week and we are enjoying quality time. Plus we are getting alot of things done around the house.
