So Taylor had a very adventurous week. It was scary for Jerry and I, but God protected all of us. Well, I went to BSF on Monday night, so Jerry fed Taylor a bottle and put her to bed. When I got home I noticed in the monitor that she was awake, but not fussing. I wasn't thrilled with where she was laying. So before we went to bed I decided to check on her and maybe move her. When I went in there I reached in to move her and found that she was soaking wet. Instantly I realized that she had thrown up. I called Jerry in to help me get her cleaned up and get the bed sheets changed. While I got a bath ready Jerry told me when I came back that she had been trying to throw up again. She just kept dry heaving. As I gave her a bath we started to notice how pail she was. She wasn't crying, just sitting there so content. But we knew she wasn't feeling well. After getting her out of the bath we decided to call the 24 hour nurse. She suggested calling 911 and having an emt look at her and evaluate whether she should go to the hospital. When they got there they put oxygen on her right away. it helped a bit, but not enough. She didn't even flinch when the pocked her foot to test her blood sugar. So they decided to take her in. From what the hospital said they think she had a virus, according to the findings in the blood test. But thankfully she didn't throw up again once they got the iv in her. She came home yesterday, Wednesday. She was there for just over 24 hours. They just wanted to monitor her and be sure she wasn't going to throw up again. She is doing great now. Back to herself. I posted a picture of us when we finally fell asleep at the hospital just before we were taken to Taylor's room for the rest of our stay.

Taylor is sitting

Well, exciting news, Taylor is sitting by herself, with mom right there to catch her when she starts to fall. She can also stand holding on to something without me holding her. Course, again I am right there to catch her. She really enjoys sitting up right when she plays. She doesn't like it much when she is on her back. But here is a few picts of her sitting alone. Isn't she just so darn cute!!!

Christmas

Christmas was a lot of fun, but we were all also sick too. Thankfully Jerry and I didn't start to feel real bad until the next day. Taylor had a lovely little Viral Infection. But she is better now. I have posted pictures and video of the fun Christmas day.

It's almost Christmas

It is almost Christmas and I am still trying to get my Christmas cards out!!! I can't believe how far behind I feel I am getting. I have not been able to check email, facebook, and finish setting up my blog for a few weeks now. I just feel like I am drowning in housework and work. Taylor takes up so much time, that my "breaks" I am busy getting everything else done. But finally here I am, getting the background of my blog done, and adding a blog. Now just to send the link to friends and family. Someday it will happen. Oh well. But I am looking forward to Taylor's first Christmas. It should be fun. I have wrapped some of her toys that we have for her that she has been to young for yet, and we will see what happens as we have her "Open" them. We will take lots of pictures. This Christmas is more for Jerry and me than for her I think. I know she will have no clue what is going on. We are also thinking about going up to my parents cabin for the New Year, which would be fun. Hopefully there will be some snow we can play in with Taylor. But it will depend on the weather. As long as no major storms come in that weekend we should be able to go. Otherwise we will risk getting stuck.

Videos

So I am loving the digital world. I love being able to take a few quick video shots of Taylor whenever. Then I love to take those videos and post them online for friends and family to see!!! So for all my friends and family I have posted a few videos for you!!!

November 2008

I can't believe Jerry and I have now been married for five years, as of this last Saturday, November 15th!!! I can't believe it has been that long. So much has happened. Of course spending three years of it trying to figure out what was wrong with me, and trying to figure out how to not be in so much pain. It's funny that I didn't get a good handle of my Interstitial Cystitis until after I got pregnant. Since having Taylor I feel great!!! I haven't felt this good since I first started having problems six months after we got married. Praise God that my IC is finally under control. It does bother me here and there, but nothing like it use to. Now I am able to just ignore it and keep going with my everyday life. So I have to say that God has taught me a lot through it all, at least I am content with my life the way it is. Sure I can't have soda or chocolate or many other foods, but I am okay with that now. I have not lost all the baby fat that I gained, but no one but me can tell. I am glad that I haven't lost too much. I was worried about that. But I am able to breast feed Taylor without any problems. She is as healthy as can be, considering my diet restrictions. Again I just have to praise God for His provision and blessings on my life and Taylor's. Now if we can keep her from being so fussy!!! But I guess that isn't too bad since she is getting better about taking naps, and she sleeps all night.

Halloween was a fun night for Taylor and us. She got to wear her first costume. She was Tigger. She also got to ride a pony for the first time. I promise you it will not be the last time. She didn't seem to mind it at all. It was amazing because she didn't cry that night at all. Unfortunately she seems to have caught her first cold. The poor thing. It is not fun as a mother to listen to her breath as you can hear the congestion in her nose. Bellow is a video I was able to take of Taylor rolling over for the second time. She has done it two other times now since then. Yesterday she did and almost rolled into my face, cause I was laying next to her when she decided she didn't want to be on her tummy.
