Snow Boots

Picture this . Snow boots in Vegas with no snow.

Kayden found his snow boots my mom bought him while we where in CO for Christmas. He is insistent on wearing them around the house. SO mom I just want you to know they are not going to waste. He still wears them.

I will post a pic for your viewing enjoyment.





Also it looks like we are starting to get better. Kayden and I both still have lots of snot and I slept most of today. But I al starting to feel better. Shawn has been wonderful and has let me sleep and is taking really good care of me. Even went to the store to get him chips and soda. He is such a wonderful hubby.

On a side note cause I think it is funny. Kayden has having some dried fruit today. It was apples, Cranberries, Cherries, Pineapple and golden raisins. Every time he asks for more I good look at his little pile and he has eaten everything but the apples. I think it is funny. The apples are my favorite part and for him to pick though everything and leave those there. TOO FUNNY.

Soup

So last night as I was falling asleep I felt like my throat was on fire, Water was not helping as nothing else was eather. I slept good last night. That was nice. I have not slept good in a long while.

When I woke up this morning I could not talk. I had all but lost my voice. I decided I needed to take my sick butt to the Dr and see what was wrong with me. I called and was barely able to get in to see them as they are pretty busy right now. I then called Shawn and told him about my appt and asked him to come home so I would not have to take Kayden. The Dr says I have an upper respitory infection and I have bad allergy. How lovely for me. Shawn stay home for the second day to help take care of me and my monkey and is only working an hour tomorrow. That is the only thing I love about his office. They are good at letting him take care of me and not complaining.

So I took my progestone last night and today has not been too bad. Lets hope it stays this way.

Please forgive me for my spelling today I really don't care.

Dinner tonight will be yummy. I wanted soup as I am sick so I made up a BIG pot of homemade chicken noodle soup with onions, carrots and corn and lots of garlic. It smells and taste so good I cant wait for dinner.
Wish I could have all of you over to enjoy it with us.

Cant think of a good title for this one

So Shawn is moving out. Well I know he wishes he was.

I get to start taking progesterone. It is the worst thing in the world for me to take. It makes me more moody then normal. I freak out at little things, Think heavens Valentines day has passed and I cant flip out on him for wanting pancakes for dinner. Love you Sweetie !!!!

This is part of the stuff the Dr wants me doing in hopes of helping me get pregnant. I cant handle most of it but I really don't like this part.

We will see how we as a family do. It does not help that both Kayden and I are sicker then dogs. Shawn took today off work so that he could take care of us. How sweet of him.

I hope this is all over soon, A sick baby I can handle, Both of us sick is hard.

I will keep everyone updated.

The monkey is SICK

My poor baby

He is sick !!!

He has a fever that I can get to go down but then back up it goes, He has more snot then any one little boy needs and he has a cough that makes him puke, He is sleeping like crazy.

I have a little bit of it but he got his head, We went to the DR this morning and they said he get to wait it out that it should last at least 10 days, We are on day 3. Please pray for us that he gets better soon.

Other then that we are just taking it easy. Not doing anything this week.

Oh and looks like we get to do another round of the clomid. Please wish us luck. This sure is hard stuff getting prego again.

Updating and stuff

Ok so I have gotten really bad at this whole updating thing, I promise to get better !!!!

So where to start…

Shawn has started school, He is going on Tuesday and Thursdays and so far is doing really good, the name of the class is “The History of Rock“ Right up is ally. We decided that he should go back to school before me, 1. The AF pays for it and 2. I don’t want to go back right now. I need to decide what I want to go for first. With in a week or two of class starting he had a paper due on Irving Berlin. It was an interesting paper and my smart hubby got 100% on it. I was so proud. Also part of his class was he had to go see a concert; we took that as a chance to go on a date. More on that later, don’t want to jump ahead of my self here.
So Shawn is doing good, Work is well work for him. He is still trying to get orders out of here and well, well we are still waiting and hoping and waiting some more. You all will know as soon as we know. He also tests for Tech on the 28th of this month. Wish him lots of luck.

Kayden is doing good, He is getting so much smarter and it is sort of scary. I have been thinking of shaving his head. His hair is so thin that it is a little rat’s nest in the back and it drives me crazy, still thinking on that one. I liked him as a bald baby, but too bad he is really not a baby anymore. He is getting to be such a big boy. He got a burn on his finger the other week. I felt bad, Shawn was at school and Kayden and I where sitting down to eat some pizza that had just gotten out of the oven. As I was taking a bit to give to him he stuck his hand in my piece. I have never heard him scream like that and it last for almost an hour till he passed out. It is almost healed now and looks fine. The first couple of days were no fun. He has started saying more letters, number and colors. Why is everything blue??? He is coming up on two pretty soon, I can’t decide what we are going to do for his party, or if I am even going to do a party. I know bad mom. But he won’t know the difference. We will see. Not much else new with him. He is well he is Kayden and my child that should tell people enough.

Now on to me. Well I am just plan ol frustrated. As most of you know Shawn and I decided that we wanted to have one more baby, Easy enough you might think, Well not if you are me L The Dr decided that maybe we should try fertility drugs to help us along. This was our first cycle and I am not a patient person. I had to take a drug called clomid, I do not like that stuff, it makes my vision blur, Cramps and I get cranky. What a fun 5 days that was. I had top get blood work for and two other test. One to make sure that my tubes where open, let me tell ya that one hurt and then an US to make sure I had eggs. The good news is all the test came back good and wonderful so as soon as my body get is act together we should be having another baby. I will keep ya all updated on this. Other then that there is nothing else new with me. I am boring J

So on to our date – We decided that since Shawn had to go see a concert that we would use that time to go on a date. We had a wonderful time. We went out to Benhinas for dinner. It was good but don’t think we will go back, I have been to other Tepinaci places that I liked better, I want to go to one tonight for dinner cause it sounds so yummy, We will see if Shawn lets me. So after dinner was our concert, Shawn loves Heart so we went to see then. It is not really my type of music but Shawn had a good time and that is what matters. After the concert we went out to get a snack at the Cannery and then gambled a bit, something we don’t do often. HE lost all his and I walked out with 8 bucks more then I came in with. We got home to find Kayden was running a fever so that sort of ruined the night. He is doing much better today.

I have more to add but will leave it for another day.

My TRUCK

So it has been a fun few days.

I am super grumpy today and don't know why. Well I think I might of figured it out. Maybe more then some want to know. I am really frustrated with my body. Why cant it be "normal" I just want to be able to have another baby and not have problems conceiving him or her. I am really hoping for a her. Well onto other things.....

Shawn got into an accident with MY truck yesterday. He is fine, Everyone else was fine. I am more upset about the ticket and how much money this is gonna cost us. The funny thing about NV is when you get a ticket you have to go to court or call no matter what. They don't put the cost of the ticket on the ticket it self. I think it is interesting. I told him to go in his uniform as they seem to give pity to the military here. When he got home yesterday he had 10 bucks in his pocket. He gave it to me. I thought it was funny. How is 10 bucks going to help me ??? I don't want to take things from him but at the same time I don't think that Kayden or I should have to go without stuff either. O I thought well this means I will really go back to work. But should I be the one to solve his problem or should I let him do it. I am trying my darnedest to not be mean and know that this too shell pass and we will be fine on money we always are and in a year I wont even remember it.

So I meet a new lady yesterday, She has a daughter that is 5, So quite a bit older then Kayden, We are gonna meet at a park on wed to let the kiddos play. Kiddos of all ages love to play at the park so I think it should be fun for the both of them. Me meeting more people is not a bad idea either. I love my mommy group I have now. It is nice. When Jess and I first started it I did not think I would like the idea of it being on set days and set times and so structured. Well come to find out that is what works best for us too. I got out of that group when I did not think it was gonna work for us and Jess was nice enough to let me join again. I LOVE IT. Kayden Loves IT !!!!

So other then Shawn breaking my truck there is not much new in our world. I know we really want to go see my parents this summer but don't know if we will be able to wring it now. That bums me out A LOT, I know it bums Shawn out a lot too as it was mostly his idea. We will see how much we get back on our income tax refund and go from there I guess. I am hoping I get to file soon. There is some CC I would love to get paid off. I know it will be done before the 15th of Feb for sure.

Well it sounds like Kayden is getting into stuff he should not be. Have a good weekend everyone and DO SEAHAWKS !!!!

Long time no.....

So I know it has been a really long time since I have written

I will start off with our Christmas - It was wonderful - We had a great time with my parents. Shawn even wants to move there. We took Kayden up to the Mountain so he could play in the snow. After he realized that gloves are a must in the snow life was good. Shawn and My Dad went back up on Christmas day to play more. They did not stay long as the elevation gets to you. We also got to take Kayden to the Zoo Lights, I wished would could of stayed longer but Kayden got cold. A cold baby is not a happy baby. I was panicking while we where there, I had gotten his gloves out of the back of the jeep, I thought I had put them in the stroller, I could not find them so chalked it up to lost gloves and we would go get him a new pair. Well we get back to the jeep to leave and there they are. I was so ____ insert any word you like. While at the Zoo he got to feed the giraffes, He enjoyed that. We got to spend quite a bit of time with my dad, I thought he was gonna have to work most of the time so that was nice. Shawn Loves the shirt he got from my parents and I love the necklace they got me. We cam home the Friday after, I did not want to leave(Neither did Shawn). The only thing it is missing for us is the ocean.

So Kayden is getting huge, He is grown almost 2 inches since Halloween, I am not looking forward to finding new pants and shoes are just expansive. The price of being a parents. I would not trade it for anything. I forgot to mention that while at my parents house Kayden learned how to climb out of his play pin. We thought he would be ok in his crib, The first night was fine. The second night we took a trip to the ER as he fell out and hit his little head pretty hard. Every thing was fine. I was more scared then anything. If you have ever been to my house you know we have hard floors. Really Hard Floors. While in the ER the Dr said well this means he gets a new bed, I just wanted to kick the Dr and tell him no shit. I kept my mouth shut. The next day Shawn converted his bed for him and now he is in a toddler bed and for the most part happy. I miss my 730 bed time. Now it is any where from 830 to 10 one night. He is sleeping in a little longer and that is nice. Also we are on day 6 of no paci expect at bed time. He does not miss it that much I think. Over all he is doing really good. Talking and signing more. He says more words then I can count and signs - More, Please, All done and eat. Please is a new one. I still know he does not know how to use the words and what they mean but we are working on it. It is a constant work in progress. We are also starting on our ABC's his fav is O. He screams it at the TV when WOF is on. Too Cute I tell ya.

So as for me and Shawn. Opps I mean Shawn and I. We are doing great. Shawn test for Tech on Feb 28th. We have decided that we want one more baby. Well my body is giving us hell and we have been pinned with the label of infertility . We are gonna start with different meds and see where that gets us. I hope it does not take too long. I hate waiting for this kind of stuff and we really want more one. I know a lot of people wonder how this is possible cause we have a happy healthy baby boy. I asked her about it and she said it is common. I will keep you all updated on how this stuff goes. Shawn and I have also decided that we are not traveling for the holidays for a long while. It did not feel like the holiday season to me and it sucked. I also felt like I cheated my family by not being home. It will work for this next year as it is people turn to come see us. HINT HINT to the grandparents.

That is all I can think of for now. I am gonna try to get back on track with up dating this thing again. I will also post some pics tomorrow while Kayden is down for a nap.

Lots of Love

Kassandra
