I’ve got mad fever!

No, I am not talking scarlet fever or hay fever… It’s SPRING fever around here! Thankfully we’ve kicked our cold (I should say E and I kicked it, N might be coming down with it now). So things are more productive here especially since the weekend was warmer than usual, basically it was NOT jacket weather [...]

The day of red

18 months ago, thanks to my Fertility Awareness Method charting I knew I was pregnant, before I’d even missed my period. Now, over a year later I am back in the world of fertile women and am reminded of how bad it sucks to have “that time of the month” again… Oh and we have to [...]

Road trip adventures Everly enjoyed.

Whew! After a week on the road we needed a day to decompress after getting back to Evansville. Yesterday we sat around in our PJ’s, did many loads of laundry, scrubbed cat vomit from the carpets, cleaned cat boxes… You know all the chores and stuff that go undone while you are away. Everly was a [...]

What is it with shower situations in New Mexico? We are spending the night in Tucumcari, NM this time around. We got a cheap hotel to spend the night in and unfortunately it only has a shower. You see it’s a cheap hotel, tiny, clean and shower-less with a super loud heater… You get what you [...]

The last time I showered in New Mexico…

We are on the road in our newly fixed car! After flying here and hanging out with family and friends it’s now time to make the trip back home, in our car. We spent much time this morning debating weather or not it was a good idea to make the trek up north to I-40 [...]

Live Blogging: Cat Swallows Needle

Here are my tweets as they played out during the night and early hours of the morning. I didn’t realized it would reach so many people. At first I was just tweeting so my husband would know what was going on, then I kept tweeting to be sure I didn’t leave anyone in the dark. [...]

It’s true. N and I got the holiday ham that keeps on giving. It seems we have food poisoning or something… It’s been an ongoing thing for over a week now. We just tossed several pounds of ham leftovers after we figured it was the culprit, also tossed the spinach salad just for good measure. [...]

Dazed, anxiety ridden and plagued with ham disease.

Christmas 2009 as parents.

I never thought I would be such a gingerbread cookie fiend! Last week we made up a ton of cookies to get in the holiday spirit and also so N would have cookies to take in to work for everyone. We’d been trying different gingerbread cookie recipes each year, nothing was particularly impressive and I thought [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

She’s not even walking yet and she’s already being a stinker about opening gifts early. After her gift snagging earlier in the week we moved all the gift bags and stuff with ribbon away from her reach. We thought the paper and curly ribbon was attracting her attention. Looks like she’s smarter about this gift [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

I have a confession. I am fairly certain twitter is killing my creativity! I’ve been having issues with blog content since Everly’s birth. Sure I am a busy mom who is working part time in addition to caring for a new baby. Yeah, computer time is limited these days… The thing is it’s not the time that [...]

A twitter addiction? Confessions and talk of loss.

Baby leg warmers crochet fun

I’ve been working on making E a pair of baby legwarmers since October. I just finished them today which is kind of a big deal. You see I tend to start and never finish my knit and crochet projects… Today will probably be the only day she’ll wear them since it took me two months to [...]

All the trees are naked and it is very close to freezing at night now. Thanksgiving is just right around the corner and we aren’t really sure where the year has gone. Life is blowing by so fast and it just feels like we are standing here in a blur while it all swirls around us [...]

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans…

Today we are proud home owners!

Well, we’ve done it! Several years of planning and thousands of dollars later… We are now the proud owners of our own home! N was bummed that we had no “sold” sign to pose with out on the front lawn though… We may just have to stage it anyway, kind of like this: We went in [...]

Today we are proud home owners!

This will be the first weekend in probably a month or so that we’ll have to relax and get caught up on things. Marching season has come and gone, my 9th marching season is now over. Sure winterguard plans and ideas are in the works but it wont be until January when the performance madness picks [...]

Sigh… Rest and recuperation are in order.

When it is quiet all I hear is crying… but we are happy.

Posted on Oct 16 in Featured, parenting, personal storiesby TalinaPrintText Resizer Text Resizer

The appraiser came today to inspect the house and underwriting has sent out our paperwork. Only two more weeks until we plan to close on the house! We are so happy and are starting a list of things we want to do once the house is ours, things like painting the nursery and all that fun stuff.

Things are going well for us and we are happy but run down at the same time. It’s crazy cold here like it just went from summer to winter in just a few days time. We are *knock on wood* still doing well heath wise and haven’t gotten sick thanks to the crazy weather.

Everly and I have even been out in the cold at marching band practice this week and we are still doing okay. Our doctor recommended we take vitamin D since it is cold and flu season. Also, because we are skipping the H1N1 and regular flu shots.

Everly is in super whiny and clingy mode today. Most of the time she’s whimpering or full on screaming. What’s better is in rare the few moments of silence (when she dozes off for a few minutes here and there) her screaming still rings in my ears. Now I am hearing things!

She didn’t sleep well this morning and isn’t napping much today. She’s still teething and we are still trying just about every remedy in the book to help her. Here is the kicker…

I swear she is getting a molar! I know, only the four front teeth surface first… My mom has told me time and time again and she was a dental professional so I know she knows teeth. I am still convinced of the molar though because I can feel it back there.

I’ve still been unable to see it because E just goes crazy with her tongue when ever I try but I swear… I feel a tooth that’s broken the surface back there! I am gonna keep trying to confirm this.

In the mean time here is a cute video of Everly trying to get her toys in her mouth. She shimmied herself under the hanging toys and was dead set on chewing them. LOL.

Just today Everly grabbed at her teething ring with BOTH hands! She was unintentionally grabbing stuff and has started learning to shake her rattle when we’ve managed to get it in her hand but today she grabbed for something intentionally and then brought it to her mouth.
I got it on video too, I am just working on shrinking the file down right now. If you’d like to have email notifications of new updates like the video of Everly I am working on… use the form below.

    Taylor got her bicuspids in first. She looked like a little vampire with her 2 little pointy teeth.

    Good luck on getting through the teething stage. Just remember, this stage also passes. And there will be many more good days than bad days.

    And YAY on the house being your (and the banks) in just a couple of weeks ;-)

    Emily is teething too and has been for a few weeks. She has gone from a lovely and happy baby to a screaming banshee. I’ve found that breastfeeding her a lot helps because she settles and sleeps, it seems that she has teething coinciding with a growth spurt so feeding is good for both! When she’s not screaming she’s sleeping. I bought her a baby carrier today to strap to the front of me because she seems to quiet down when I carry her so I’ll wear it around and see how she goes! It might be worth getting one if Everly is getting more alert and curious too like Emily as she doesn’t want to sit or lay down anymore! (unless you laready have one) I got mine off Ebay for $16.00

    Couldn’t you hang those toys just a 1/2 inch lower for her? Poor precious thing, working SO hard and almost getting it…

    Seriously, she was getting a good workout wasn’t she? I remember reading somewhere that if adults moved like babies do, they’d work off about 2000 calories an hour. I can believe it, but then I’d like to see an adult try it too!
