Happy Friday!

The good news is I went to the doctor this morning, saw someone other than Doctor Oaf, and got some medicine for my sinus infection. Yay! I'm already breathing easier!The sad news is that my sickness scared Pa Pa (Chris' dad) out of coming to visit, so we'll have to wait to have a fun weekend with them. :( Boo.

I hope all of you have a fun weekend!

Are you kidding me?

So, I finally decided to do the responsible thing and go to the doctor to get something to treat what I'm pretty sure is a sinus infection. With my previous insurance I was able to go pretty much anywhere to be seen under coverage by my provider. I went to the Quick Care down the road from work, filled out my paperwork, only to find out that my HMO was no good there, and apparently the ONLY doctor I can see in town is the same oaf who neglected to tell me I was pregnant for two weeks after he knew, and then made me feel like an idiot when he finally got around to it. GREAT! So I have an appointment with Doctor Oaf in the morning. Joy. Hopefully I can get in and out of there and he won't have any other special surprises for me this time. Blah!

Ugh...

Once again, I am sick! For over a week now my head has been full of snot...ugh!!! It seems to me that my immune system has been down since I gave birth, which make sense I suppose since that is a lot for a body to go through. Poor little Parker got the sniffles this weekend too, but is already feeling better. He has a doctors appointment today to get more immunizations. He was a little trooper through all 4 shots and only cried for a minute. There is just nothing worse than watching your sweet little baby getting poked by big needles!!! :(

I'm excited because Chris' parents are coming this weekend to hang out with us and little P, and are also brining some leather furniture they got for a great deal from one of their friends for us. We always have lots of fun when they visit, and Parker will have fun getting lots of PaPa and BiBi love! I'm hoping my parents will come out in April so they can spread some Gramma and Granpa love, too! :)

Next week our school has Spring Break, which means I get Thursday and Friday off! Hooray! I hope the weather is nice so Parker and I can enjoy some afternoon walks on our days off. Deborah is going out of town for the whole week, so Parker will probably be coming to work with me early in the week. I'll put him to work stuffing some envelopes for me. :)

Ok, Gotta run and feed Peanut!

Our little Peanut... 3 and a half months!

A quick trip to SC

Parker and I headed up to South Carolina on Friday to help Chris' cousin celebrate the end of her chemotherapy treatments. Joyce is in her early 30s, has a one year old and a four year old, and was diagnosed with breast cancer about a year ago. Chris' mom, aunt, and cousins were all there and we had a nice dinner together. Parker and I stayed at the hotel with Beth and Adele and then drove home on Saturday. It was great to see Chris' mom (grandma name to be determined), who hadn't seen Parker since Christmas. She just couldn't get enough snuggles from Peanut. Chris would have been there, but he is in Virginia this weekend DJ-ing and will drive home on Monday. We already miss him lots! I'm about to post a pic that Beth took at the hotel of little Parker playing on his tummy. He's got the most beautiful brown eyes!

Hello, Hello... is there anybody out there?

No one has left a comment on my blog for months! Is anyone still reading? One of my recent magazines says that most blogs are read only by the blogger and his/her mother. Thanks, Mom and Dad! At least I know you care! Ha ha ha. Give me and the Peanut some love and say hello!!!!

Happy Valentines Day!!

We had such a nice Valentines Day yesterday!!! Chris came home with a dozen red, long stem roses and then cooked me the most delicious dinner: steak, green beans, red wine, and a fabulous salad. Parker fell asleep early and let us have date night. We ate by candle-light, chatted and laughed together, drank wine...it was so much fun!

Later (a few glasses of wine later), I convinced Chris to let me put a mud mask on his face, so we both hung out and listened to some of our favorite CD's with bright green faces truly enjoying eachother. Parker must have known we needed some special time together because he slept like a rock from 6:30pm until 11pm. It was so great to re-connect with Chris and have some fun, silly time together.

Don't think I got Chris in a mud mask without taking pictures! I will be posting one soon to share the hilarity! (Good thing Chris doesn't read my blog...ha!!)
