WOW CRAZY!!!

So I'm so glad tony is keeping up with our blog, cause since I've gone back to work, the time just doesn't seem to be there, between being a good wife a good mother a good teacher a good R.S. secretary, spare time is scarce. As even now I should be working on our R.S. Circle for Sunday, but I haven't posted in sooooo long I felt the need to. I feel like I've been sick forever, but really it's only been all month, hard part is that Elizabeth too has been sick practically all month too. We thought she was getting better then she started having a really hard time breathing(there's nothing scarier than your little baby not being able to breathe!) Turns out she had Bronchiolitis due to RSV, and is now getting nebulizer treatments every four hours. At first she really hated it, and it tore my heart to shreds having to watch her cry so hard, and knowing I'm doing it to her, but she's doing better with it now, I think she's realized that it helps her feel better. She's growing so so soooo fast, I can't even believe it! She had her first tooth break through a week ago, it's one of the bottom ones, and she's working on the tooth next to it. She's so young she doesn't quite have the hang of holding a teether in her mouth so we bought her a teething binky, which she seems to like(and the teething rings are mostly too big for her mouth even when she gets them there!) Yesterday she sat up for at least ten minutes, then she only fell over to reach a toy behind her. She rolls over like crazy when she wants to(or needs to, to reach a toy) but she can only go from tummy to back, she has no desire to roll back to her tummy, as she's not real fond of being there. she's been eating rice cereal for about a month and a half now, and I was surprised at how well she eats, she opens her mouth and swallows then repeats, I was so relieved, as we have a baby at my work who refuses to open her mouth when she eats. Difficult! Anywho. she just woke up from her nap that was not nearly long enough at only 45 mins tops. She's been doing that lately, and I think it may be due to the teething as she's gnawing on the edge of her blanket right now. she just gets cuter by the second, but I'll admit I'm a bit bias.
Okay okay time to update you on Tony and my doings. For Valentines we went to a movie(confessions of a shopaholic, very funny) wandered around Gateway, ended up in the Old navy, where we got some killer deals for baby girl and me. Then we went to Litza'a pizza for dinner as tradition goes, and I tasted nothing as my sinuses were majorly screwed up! But we enjoyed our time alone together. Last weekend was a marathon for me. Sat morning at 9:30 I headed over to the church, to help get ready for our R.S. board meeting at 11. Which I whipped up a 5 min talk for the previous night. That went til about 1 after I helped clean up. Then at 2 we took Elizabeth to the Nesters, while we went to Desert Star's Home School Musical. Itk was the funniest show I've seen!! We laughed so hard! Then right after that we went to the RV show, and had lots of fun looking at cool trailers(none of which we'll own for years to come, but it's so fun to look) then we picked up Liz and called it a day. Sunday morning elizabeth was still having a hard time breathing bad so Tony called the pediatrician's office to see what the hours were on Mon as I had the morning off work, well to his surprise Lynette answered the phone! Turns out they're oppen every day but Christmas! So I told her what was going on with Liz and she said to get her in immediately, so we got there about 10:45 it took them no time at all to diagnose her with her Bronchiolitis and RSV, we did a nebulizer treatment in the office, and bought our own on the way out! Then we had a birthday party for Tony's brother Matt's two boys, then after that we headed down to Lehi to have fun with some friends, and fun we had!! That was our marathon weekend. Today we're taking care of the house and cars. Before we head up to clearfield to visit with my parents. Well Elizabeth is being demanding and growling at me, which means pay attention to me NOW! So that's my update. I'll work on pics later sorry.
