Dr. Visit

-
We have begun the multiple doctor visits for Shepherd. The ones where you hold your child down and they get stuck in both legs and hence scream at the top of their lungs! Yea those.

Things start out normal, with the stripping him down so they can weigh him, measure his length and check temperature. He is now 23 inches long, 13lbs and normal temperature. After this the nurse leaves and we wait for the dr. Me holding him only in a diaper. He was doing great just looking all around and then i hear the dreaded noise. Blow out! It was the liquidyist bowel i have ever seen on him. It came up the back of his back while he was sitting in my lap...so i guess you know where i am going with this...


This is after i wiped the yuck off...it look like i wet or threw up on myself! It was so laughable! Thankfully by the time we leave the dr office they were dry. 

After the dr checked him and all is normal we wait for the nurse to bring the shots. Now i don't know if i prepared myself for it or not. Didn't really know what to expect. But i was asked to hold my son's upper body down with one arm and then pull his leg straight. YEA THANKS! 

First shot...Loud scream red red red face! Tears, cries and that is from me! The nurse was quick and it was over fast i quickly picked him up and hugged him and he stopped but like thanks, lets not do that again, and started to cry again. I told Kimmel that the saddest part was all the way home he sniffled and whimpered. 

Until next month we we do it all over again! :( 

Any suggestions on how to make it better? Or do you just grin and bear it!?

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Valentines Day

I was curious as to where Valentines day came from and this is what i found. There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that i t originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ba

Photo shoot with Mabry Family

This past saturday was my first official photo shoot, meaning not really close friends, was really nervous to do it. Andrew came with me and was my voice of direction. I picked the same spot a friend of ours took our engagement pictures, main street Grapevine. We went a bit early to the spot and marked some places we thought would work, and talked out what positions might be good. With his strong voice he commanded them into spots! :) It was fun and the weather was perfect for it. Andrew had gotten me a new lens in time for the shoot so i was super pumped and so thankful it made it in time. There were a couple times that i forgot to change the setting and was like OH NO! Let's try that again!  I think they like it and are happy with it. A mutual friend has already asked me to take pics of her and her hubby. Now i am just waiting for my label to be created so i can look even more official! This is a fun hobby that i am excited to chase after! Click Here for more pics
