Yea, we finally got some rain! I am usually not the type to love rainy weather, but this time I am loveing it. This weekend was so relaxing. I did laundry and cleaned the house and baked some brownies for Jeremy and we just hung out in our sweats and played with Payton. We stayed at home all weekend, but I still got allot of stuff accomplished. This was one weekend where I didn't mind staying in the whole time. Usually by 3 in the afternoon I am begging Jeremy for us to go somewhere. I am sitting at work right now and it is thundering and the rain is just coming down. I am sure I will get sick of the rain soon and be ready for some pretty weather so we can take payton outside and go for some walks. I hope everyone enjoyed this rain as much as I did. We sure did need it.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Happy St. Patty's Day to everyone!
I hope everyone is wearing their green today!! I am wearing some green flip flops from Old Navy that I got yesterday. I bought Payton a really cute St. Patty's Day shirt at Babies R' Us a few weeks ago that says, "I'll be your lucky charm". He looks so cute!! My cousin Kim is watching him today so I will have her take a picture of him and then I will post it later this afternoon. Have a great weekend.

Payton is 4 Months Old

Payton turned 4 months old Friday. He had to go the Dr. to get his shots and he didn't react to them as well as he did on his first set of shots. He actually ran a small fever Saturday and was throwing up some yesterday, buy you would of never known anything was bothering him. He was just as happy as ever. He weighed 17lbs and 12oz. He is 25" long. BIG BOY!!!! He gets to eat Solids now!! I am so happy we can start feeding him at dinner and it is something besides a bottle. He actually took his cereal very well and we gave him some peas and he likes those too. I really don't think I am going to have much problem feeding this boy. I went and bought him some clothes for the summer and I had to get him 18 months cause he is wearing 12 months so nice right now and he is 4 months old..... YEA..... I know. Well I hope everyone had a great weekend I know we did.

Saturday and Kid Rock
Saturday was such a great day. That morning Jeremy got up and took my car to get the windows tinted for me and then when he got home we took Payton to my Aunts so we could go do some shopping! I bought some really cute stuff at Kohls. That night Jeremy and I went to the Kid Rock concert with Kim and Shane. They bought Jeremy two tickets for his birthday cause they know he really likes Kid Rock. I will have to admit I was not that big on Kid Rock, but after his concert I like him allot more. He put on such a good show. I will go back next time he is here. You can tell I am a new mom cause I was dragging by the time the concert was over. My bed time is not 1:00am anymore. It is more like 9:00. It was nice to get out of the house and go enjoy ourselves and not worry about time we have to be home.

Hate clothes shopping
The beautiful weather is making me want to go buy some new clothes for summer so today I was going to go get a few outfits but, talked myself out of it. It is so depressing to look in my closet and see all the cute clothes I have to only know that I can't fit into them. I had Payton 4 months ago and have only lost a little bit of weight. I did gain more then I was suppose to but, still...I guess I was hoping I would just bounce right back. Wishful thinking. I need more clothes to wear cause I am sick of wearing what I have but, I am just terrified to go get more clothes. I want to look cute (at least as much as I can) for the spring and summer. I just don't want to go waste money on "bigger" clothes. I am sure everyone women that has children says the same thing and my best friend keeps telling me to be patient. Well I have been about as patient as I can. I eat less then I did before I was pregnant so you would think it would fall right off. UMMM, NOPE not for me it won't. Oh well I guess I should just say screw it and go buy new clothes anyways. Maybe if I have some cuter outfits it will help me feel a little better about myself. I know I will get back to my size cause there is NO WAY I could stay like this forever but, I just wish it would hurry up!!!!!

Ear infections
So just when we thought Payton was getting better he was really getting worse. Sunday night he was coughing a lot cause all of his congestion was breaking up. He was drinking a little water and started to cough and here comes EVERYTHING. It was even coming out of his nose. So I yelled for Jeremy to come inside and we got everything cleaned up and was just hoping it was a one time thing. Well no, he got up Monday morning and started to eat and got half way through and he went to cough a little and here it comes back up again. I am thinking okay maybe he is getting sick cause he is coughing so hard. So I continue to get ready for work. I go in there to change his diaper before I leave and just turned my back and I just here something and look over at him and he had thrown up again and bless his little heart it went up and right back down all over him. He started to scream cause he didn't know what just happened. I thinking oh great he is getting a small virus or something cause he didn't cough this time so I called work and told them I was taking him to the pediatrician. I get him the the Dr. And come to find out he has two ear infections. We get him home and he starts running a fever and he just got worse from there. Tuesday it was really bad. His fever was 102.8 and I couldn't get it to go away. Finally at 10:00 last night it finally broke. On top of that he has some diarrhea from the antibiotic. Poor little guy was really sick. This morning he was getting back to the happy baby he always is. I don't like my baby being sick. It is emotionally draining. I am sure I will get better with time but, right now I pretty much get scared about everything abnormal. Lets just hope this nasty little ear infection stay away for awhile.
