Our weekend..

Finally over the sickness! THANK YOU JESUS!!!..
Friday-Julian & I stayed home, to insure Julian was for sure getting better. Saturday, Julian was 100 % better... it was such a relief to wake up to a smiling baby! With the comformation that Julian was in deed better.. I threw some clothes on him & headed out the door to go get New Moon from walmart. On our way out the door, my mom called to tell me I had two boxes delievered from Target! YAY.. it was Julian's bathroom decor!.. It literally took me 2 weeks to decide what theme i wanted to go with in his bathroom!.. && here it is!..

I am so thrilled with it!..&& i got a little night light plug in that matches the monkeys!.. too freakin cute!!

After picking up the boxes, we went straight to walmart && i got my movie!!.. We went over to Melissa's. it was a beautiful day so we went most the day outside watching her concete get poured.

I also picked up some fabric to make Julian a blanket... this is one tabatha made him this past year for xmas. Julian still LOVES George or anything monkey themed.

This is the one i made him yesterday. they are so warm!.. he enjoys & appreciates them!

Here is a video that i took while we were sitting outside.. Julian talks so much lately. here is him jibber jabbin away!.. isnt my little man so handsome!

flu? virus? call it what u want.

Well the Saturday we were Gardening with Grandmaw Julian started to have a slightly red eye. well the slightly red eye did not get any better, so we were seen at the doctor on Monday. We stopped to get lunch at mcdonalds.. && i just love his excited face. hehe- like mommy like son.
This visit was pretty much also his 18 month check up. Julian was 35 1/2 inchs long && weighed 31 pounds.

after the visit, we stopped at Mim&Paw's while waiting for his medicine to be filled. Julian did in deed have pink eye- looovely.

while at mims julian played outside. he loveed hearing the fall leaves, crunch under his little feet.

he would grab a leaf, then run and give it to mim as a present!

When we went to pick up his meds at walgreens, Melissa was already off work so we swung by to see her new porch & pup. Julian liked their new puppy"co-co"

By tuesday, Julian's eye was already looking much better, yay finally in the clear, right?... WRONG!.. Tuesday night at 1am(technically wenesday) Julian began throwing his guts up. I was so nervous and didnt know what exactly i should do, so i went straight over to my moms to get her opinion. I ended up making a trip to walmart and then camping out there in their spare bedroom. Julian was up all night, every 30 minutes throwing up. && i did not sleep a wink. Julian would only sleep laying on me, with me in the sitting up position. the next morning he was seen at the doctor first thing. They gave him a shot to stop the vomiting, and told me he was mildly dehydrated, and he had already lost some weight since monday. he weighted 31 monday and at this visit he lost 13 oz.

We came home from his visit and basically slept til 3pm. and went back to sleep at 7 and slept til 10 the next day.

Thursday Morning, Julian woke up drinched in poop. :/ He had serious runs,...this continued all day..and Julian didnt eat a thing, nor was he keeping anything down. Around 5 that evening, he began with the throwing up again ohhh & Julian had not had a wet diaper on top of all that.

I call the nurse who called the doc and wanted us seen to get Julian some IV fluids.

got there and the ER doc did not give him fluids, but did give him more meds to stop the vomiting & upset stomach. At this visit Julian weighed in at 29 pounds 10 oz. :/

Today..... we had some more horrible diapers.. however my main concern was that Julian had no had a wet diaper.. STILL. He started with a horrible rash... and still was not eating. I feel like everything im doing isn't doing much good. its so fustrating that i am doing everything i can, and the doctors are just over looking everything.

After Julians nap.. i took his diaper off to let his butt air out. The rash ran from is butt to his leggs. poor baby.Julian has never had a diaper rash so i didnt know what it was...

he went to stand by the front screen door and his little birdy touched the cold door, &&& WA LAA... he began to pee pee. IT wasnt to aweful much..but hey.. it was better than nothing. :)

a little later he did indeed eat a little.. thank god. He did not have any more bad diapers the remainder of the evening and was acting like a brand new kid.

however,

As im writing this i was paused when hearing my son screaming in his room. Yes, he has blown his diaper yet again. :(... and his little butt was hurting. gosh dang.. when will this end???

some of our Spring Break..

I can not believe spring break has come and gone.

Over spring break, Julian and I have def. kept our selves very busy..

&& and waaa LA... He was so excited. Julian loves carrotts.

Julian playing in the play grounds near the garden. I want so badly to have a yard to get him something like this. He LOVED this little house.

Welcome Friends! :)

For Snack I happend to pack carrott's.. ' how ironic'. So since Julian learned earlier that day that they came from the ground..

He thought that's where they now belonged.

My pooped little man, sitting in the dirt making dirt pies. He was soo ready for a nap && a BATH! :)

Cookie monster!

Today was yet another perfect day here in the deep south! & Julian was so worn out from playing yesterday..that he slept til 9 today! whoohoo that def. started my day off on the right note!..
Once we were up Melissa and I went to babies R us to catch a amazing sale they had going on! I mean .. it was a steal!.. I got 10 outfits for Julian all Carter, and Koala brand clothes and i spent exactly 53 dollars! I mean that is amazing. When checking out I literally felt like I was robbing the place! I check my reciept to see everythign was scanned & was like.. MAN that was amazing!

After coming home we ate skettie Nanny cooked..and Julian took his nap!.. After, we of course played out doors and soaked up the wonderful weather while it lasted.


Julian running around!


Melissa always keeps iceed animal crackers for Julian. He kept asking, 'cooocooo' which is cookie, so she got tired of going in and out ..and finally brought the whole jar outside for him! :P she spoils him so bad- haha. So here he is being the cookie monster, that he is..


bout to diggg IN! :) yummm!


As most of you know I have been having horrible luck since Josh left on deployment. I have been doing so much praying that thing will work out for us. Today I found a place for us, and I have been a nervous wreck that something will fall through and I'll be at square one all over again. Well today on my ride home... there was a small peice of rainbow in front of me.. and it literally looked like if would be directly over my apartment in DA from the view i snapped this picture- in paradis!.. I knew this was a sign, a small glimmer of hope for me!.. Things are going to work out one way or another, thank you lord for adjusting my vision- so that i would be able to notice this.




it was really tough to get a picture of from my iphone, and with the colors of the sun set. but it was really little and cute!.. thought i'd share!!

Enjoyy

Grand ol' Flag

Today was a beautiful day, 75 degree's clear blue sky, cool breeze, and big warm sunny rays. Perfect!
Julian and I went to my mom's for the afternoon after his nap. She has a big yard, and Julian loves being outdoors. We rode four wheelers, attempted planting flowers, and simply just played in the yard, Julian had a blast!


Playing with his trucks on the porch, with a flag he pulled out one of my mom's potted plants.

haha, i thought this was funny- it's like so redneck for him to put the flag on the back of his truck.. paaa- hahahahaha!

Maw maw had to go to the dollar store because we forgot italian dressing to let the steaks set in... and came home with some mini water guns. In this picture she was showing Julian how they work. He was so excited!


Once he had saw that it was just water, he would walk up to the gun and point it to his mouth, with his mouth wide open. he wanted her to squirt the water into his mouth.

He wanted to do it on his own so badly. This picture I could just see that his thought bubble said " You just wait mawmaw.. wait til I figure it out.. I'M GET YOU!"

& a few minutes later.. he did in fact get her. lmao.. only with his blue drink in stead- he learned that it too, squirted. Only had to give it a good sqeeze- && it was much easier than trying to make that trigger thing work.

& this is the face he gave when he realized that it worked! LOL

My baby was waving his american flag so sweet. He's supportive of his daddy! :)

Proud Son of a US Sailor, OS2 Danford on the USS ASHLAND. Miss you Daddy! But I am supporting you from afar!... xoxo
