Update on my sick sick baby

Ended up spending 10.00 bucks to have the doctor let me know tonight @ 7 PM that yes indeed Ashlynn has a stomach bug. She did let me know I should be giving her Pediasure, so I stopped and picked some up on the way home. Poor little baby. And yes Amy, the first time I almost puked on her. Even her worst diapers didn't do this to me. Blah!
They say we need to keep an eye on her for 24 more hours.

My Poor Little Baby


It all started yesterday afternoon. Ashlynn is finally on an every 4 hr (about) eating schedule. She ate @ 3:30 and then we went down stairs to play. *(or watch Blue hee hee). About 4:30 she was done with that, so we headed up to her bed room to see if we could find something else to kill some time. It hit so quickly I didn't even know what was going on. She tossed EVERYTHING she had eaten at 3:30. Poltergeist had nothing on her. I am not sure how that much stuff can come out of that small of a person. And it kept coming. I tried to pick her up, but ended up gagging so hard that I almost threw up on her little head. I had to walk away with her crying and looking at me like I just left her on the corner to fend for herself. :( Gagging like Amy did when Sadie pooped on the floor.
She ended up getting sick 6 more times and really had nothing in her tummy when she finally gave up and went to sleep in her daddies arms. She did sleep from 9:30 until 5 AM. I fed her a 6 oz bottle then and she couldn't keep it down. All over me and the rocking chair and herself. Lovely. Thank you for sharing my sweet daughter. :( She woke up @ 8 again and only wanted 3 oz...but kept that down. She went back to sleep again @ 8:45 and I can hear her right now happily talking on the monitor, so I am headed up to get her. Cross your fingers for us today. Cross your figers that it isn't going to go around the house. Blah.
Hmmmm...one pair of sweat pants full of poop vs. baby puke all day. I will take super turd. Amy, want to traid?

Blue's Clues Blue's Clues

Oh Blue's Clues. This brings back such memories of Las Vegas and the 4 (ish) months I spent there with the Becky and her small family. Steve will forever remind me of Christopher Layton. MAAAAAIIILLLL!!! I can even remember each song word for word. Crazy. :)
Ashlynn probably watches too much TV Tuesdays and Wednesdays while I am working from home, but man oh man can Blue captivate her. I could listen to Steve sing all day long in that beautiful multi green shirt if it means my daughter isn't in my face. :) Shhhh...don't tell.

Not much of a blog, but that is all I have for ya. Back to work.

Ash is attempting to type so I must go. Later

You shall recieve

Ok my sisters. You requested new posts...here you go. I am not half as creative as some people that post blogs, no tornadoes have touched down in Scappoose recently and thank goodness we don't have any dogs that try to rip your limbs from your body. All I have is Ashlynn. She is currently my up time, my down time and everything in between.
The waking up at 5 this morning thinking it was time to play and screaming at the top of her little lungs for a solid hour when I told her it was still bed time doesn't help with creativity either. Just brain dead. Plus Ashlynn is as big of a fan of the computer as her daddy is. I think they both think they have been replaced at times. Every time I attempt to log on she is crawling toward me, reaching up to be picked up and wants to play with the computer keys. Lovely.

So I uploaded 3 videos for your entertainment.
A) My Dream. The best sound in the whole world.

B) Ahhhh....my life is over as I know it. I thought crawling was bad, but this!!! Thank goodness the gate came last night.

C) Not for the weak of stomach. Funny stuff though. I don't think I am raising a vegetarian.

My Little Mermaid






Our little mermaid. Ashlynn turns 9 months and we stick her in the pool. Josh and I took the baby to the public pool for the Tots swimming class this last Saturday. I took swimming lessons at a young age, but I don't think I was this little. Josh did take lessons when he was this little. We have the local news paper article on him at his swimming class with pictures to prove it.


Josh wanted to be the swimming coach. You mean you would get in a swimming suit and I don't have to? Please be my guest! So I sat on the side and like the crazy overly obsessed mommy I am...took 85 pictures. Some of those were of the other kids in the class. I was nice and got email addresses to send pictures to them too.





The other babies were within 3 months of Ashlynn and didn't do as well. They were cold and cried. My big girl just hung out with Daddy doing what she was told. She was VERY serious the entire time. Reminding me of her older cousin Christopher when he was a baby. But since she didn't cry, I am going to claim that she had a good time. Josh might take her to class again this Saturday while I am at work.
