Guess who's sick?

Not me, not Kaylee, not Kristen, but all 3 of us! :( Well, Kristen started getting her cold on Tuesday and it's pretty much over now. Kaylee and I started getting it over night and even though it hasn't reached it's peak yet, it's definitely making it's presence known. Ugh.

Lynda says we should all get flu shots. I'm wondering if it's necessary though since none of us are around a bunch of people very often. The only people my kids see is family, and they are pretty easy to avoid if they are sick. Guess we'll have to see.

Update!

Sorry I keep to forget to update you all on stuff! The main thing being Kaylee took her first steps on the 18th! She hasn't done any more than 3-4 steps when you stand her in front of you and she walks to you, but it's a start!

Kaylee had her weight check-up on the 20th and she weighed 23lbs 2oz, so it now looks like she's on a different growth curve. The doctor still wants to see her in a few months to get weighed again, just to be safe. I also got to see the doctor on the 20th for my yearly but I also wanted her to know that I still am having problems in my urinary tract so I have to get some urine cultured to see if I have a low-grade UTI. If it's positive, they'll call in an antibiotic for me. If it's negative, it means I probably have Interstitial Cystitis. Pretty much feeling like I have a bladder infection because the bladder wall is inflamed, but I don't. It also interferes with intercourse as it gives me a lot of pain. My body has changed so much since getting pregnant. I'd take the saggy boobs and stretch marks any day over the UTI's/Interstitial Cystitis/Hives. Oh wait! I have those too! :(

So I am wanting to start shopping for Christmas gifts, but I have no idea what to get anybody! So I will be e-mailing/phoning/talking to you all soon so I can get started!

Barry is away again this week, back to Fredericton. The branch is really busy up there and pretty slow down here, so he gets good hours (57 last week) and he also gets $35 a day perdiem, for food (which he doesn't use all of) I'm used to him going away now anyway, so as long as I don't run out of anything, it's all good. :)

I am starting a weight loss challenge with a bunch of digi-scrappers (& Mel LOL) tomorrow. It is going to be hella fun!! Prizes, challenges, points, lots & lots of support...it's going to be great & I really hope I can stick with it this time! There are 4 teams, and prizes are based on points, so I don't want to let my team down! It's for 9 weeks, so it ends Christmas Day and then we take a week break and start up again on Jan.1st. Those who have met their goals can leave, and those who couldn't make it the first time can join. I have a goal of 15lbs, which will leave me at where I was right before I got pregnant with Kaylee. I'm pretty excited about the whole thing!

I'll have to see what photos I can upload. I haven't been taking too many lately for some reason.

It's been a while...

So here I am with an update. :) Around September 20th Kaylee started crawling normally on her hands and knees. So much cuter than the way she used to go commando style.. LOL I think she started figuring out she could do it when we were in Truro since Mom & Dad have carpet at their house and she couldn't slide around on her belly. She also started standng up by herself for a few seconds a few days after that! Check out more photos in the album!

Also, on the 20th I started getting hives. I'm not sure if it was from my antibiotic from my UTI or not, but I only had one day of it left when they started coming on, just like when I was pregnant with Kristen. I can't believe I'm allergic to another antibiotic though, especially one that I've used before. I am still taking my allergen meds, but still get itchy spots every day. Mainly when I injure my skin somehow. Sometimes it even happens when I just lean my arm on the corner of a table or what-not. Remember this happened back in January and I got really depressed because of it? Thinking I'm going to be like this for the rest of my life isn't fun... it took a month to go away last time, so hopefully it'll do the same this time.

Hmmm...what else? Kristen went to Stanley with Kev & Lynda this weekend. I hate to say it, but I kind of like it when she goes away. It gives the 3 of us a much needed break from her antics & attitude. Kaylee actually slept in until 9am both mornings!

I think for Christmas this year we will be staying home and then going to Truro the next day for the rest of the week (from Tuesday the 26th to Friday the 29th) I think Barry will be taking those days off of work since he has some vacation days he still needs to use. I'd love to see my family on Christmas Day, but it's just too crazy around here and it's hard to get everything together and make it to Truro at a good time to make it even worthwhile going that day. This way we'll have 4 days up there! :)

Anyway, Thankgiving is next weekend right? That means we'll be seeing you in less than a week! Yay! :)
