Happy Thanksgiving!

So I had to work on Thanksgiving morning but after I got home we went over to my mom's house for Thanksgiving day lunch and it was soooooo good. Grandma Jackie's stuffing is the BEST! Abrey was in her Baby's first Thanksgiving outfit and we took a picture of her next to the Turkey. She ate turkey, stuffing, potatoes and a roll. She pigged out. Then we left and went over to Adam's parents house and had dinner. Mrs. Pross got a pumpkin Cheesecake from the Cheesecake factory that was soooo good. MMMMM...I love the Cheesecake factory. Then we went home and on Friday morning Adam went Black Friday shopping (without me....lol....you won't catch me going) and then we put up our Christmas decorations. We had to babygate the Christmas tree so Abrey wouldn't get to it. She keeps trying though.....she almost got through a couple of times. Our stockings are still hodge podge.....I haven't finished our nice felt ones yet....maybe by next Christmas. We leave to Mexico tomorrow so we hope we can have a good time. We will post pictures once we get back.

Ding...Ding...Ding....we have a winner!

So it is Roseola. I feel so much better knowing what it was and not a stupid UTI. Which I knew it wasn't and I am so glad I trusted my instinct and didn't let them do the catheter. She still has the rash but it should go away in a few days. Also, the Dr. said that is cutting all four of her top teeth....that explains her crankiness. So now she has six teeth! Yeah for Abrey, I am glad all this happened before we left on our vacation and didn't happen after we left. Anyway that is the update.

The mystery is solved.....we think!

So Abrey has had this fever since Wed. and with no explanation. We took her to the Dr. and they wanted to do a catheter on her since protocol is....a cath with a fever and no source. I was uh NO! I knew she didn't have one, I have had so many that I knew if she had one she would hurting and crying. So on Friday the fever the broke but then her temp went down so we called the Dr. and guess what he said....bring her in for a cath....I was like NO! So on Sat she starting not wanting to eat and had a little bit of diaherrea and the whole time has done nothing but sleep. So long story short......still no fever but on Sunday she broke out in a rash on her belly, back and butt. So we think she has roseola....a form of measles or sixths disease. I am going to take her to the Dr. today to confirm and make sure she is not contagious for Thanksgiving because we don't want to get poor Emily sick. So I will let you kow what the Dr. says.
Also, she has cut her top left tooth....so in the mist of all this sickness I am sure her cutting this tooth did not help with the fever and diaherrea......Poor Abrey.

Catch up time!

So I have quite a bit of pictures to post from the last couple of weeks. I have been slacking! So first there are some pictures of Abrey from playing with Grandpa Don, she LOVES Don....she just crawls all over him and has a thing for his shoes and feet....and loves to beat on his belly. So these pictures are of her playing with him on the couch.

Abrey and Grandpa Don

The next pictures are of Abrey just in general......some are of her playing on the couch which gave her massive doses of static electricity as you can see by her hair standing on end, some are of her playing in the tub...which Daddy gave her a mohawk, then there are some of her two teeth...yes I finally got a picture of them (excuse the one with food in her mouth) and then there are some with her waking up in the morning with Bed head....I just thought those were funny.

Static Electricity

Yes...she has shoes on with her PJ...lol. Her socks come off if I don't put them on...lol

First teeth

Mohawk mania


bed Head

Now here are the pictures of when Heather came to visit us. We had fun with her and were sad when she left. We went and ate at our favorite restaurant.....Baker Bros....mmmmmmm...and then we just hung around......did a face mask (yes we made Adam put one on too...lol).....and went to visit my mom. So here are some pictures of that.

Face Masks

And lastly, we met the dog Pearl last night and we fell in LOVE with her. We hope they will give her to us. Her and the baby loved each other as well.....she is just so sweet and great with Abrey. I will keep you updated as we know something.

Maybe this boxer????

Her name is Pearl, which we would change to Ava. She still has to go through heartworm treatment so she wouldn't be ready for about 7 weeks. We meet her at the end of next week. We are not sure that Brie was a good fit for us and that leads me to believe she wasn't right for us. So we are continuing on in our search for our new doggie and think Pearl/Ava might be it. What do y'all think?

Abrey's 9 month check up

So the Dr. says Abrey is doing great! She weighed in at 17lbs and 1oz and was 29 inches tall. She is still in the 25% for weight and 90% for height. She got her flu shot and they pricked her finger to draw some blood to see if she was anemic, which she wasn't. They also wanted to give her a TB test but I said no because they really only need it for daycare and since she isn't in daycare I didn't wan to inflict more pain on her. Also, the TB needs to be done yearly so once there is a need for it, like for school, then I will get it done. So she did great and is doing great.

Happy Halloween

Abrey was a monkey for Halloween. Of course being in Texas, it was 80 dgrees and her costume was made for cold nights so she was not too happy with putting it on and leaving it on. She also was in a very bad mood from her teeth so getting in her Halloween outfit and costume was not so fun yesterday, but we did it and got some pictures. Which of course my camara is the worst camara on face of the earth and won't snap pictures right away, it takes 50 years. So here are some pictures, the best ones I could get with her still in the frames. Most are of her crying, but when I took the picture she was actually smiling.....yes the camara takes that long to take the picture...lol.
