Chicken Pox Scare

Last night I noticed some spots on Emery's sides. I called my mom over immediately to check them out. She didn't think much of them though. So I checked her this morning and didn't see any new spots on her so I figured it was just a skin irritation from a shirt I put on her that I didn't wash from the store (I know, I know. Bad Mom Award). Anyway, took Emery over to my moms today while I went grocery shopping. When I went back to pick her up, my moms friend who works at a Dr. office was like, "That's chicken pox." I immediately freaked out. Luckily, David already had a Dr. appt in 10min. So Emery and I showed up and crashed it. Come to find out, she just has a rash, most likely from the shirt I put on her, and she is on meds for it. Thank goodness!

Lights Out

So after there was a big ole' storm here in KC Sunday night, lots of people lost power that night into Monday morning. We were not one of those people. Not one of those people who lost power Sunday night or Monday morning. Monday EVENING however is a different story. Got home from work Monday, ran in the house to change, let the dog out, fed the dog, then left to go out to eat for Daves birthday. When we got back to the house, there was ZERO power. Well guess what is the ONLY way for us to get into our house. Garage door. Which doesn't work well with no power. Off we were to my moms house with NOTHING on us but clothes. It was past Emery's bedtime so we had to put her right to bed around 9pm. I go back to the house around 10ish to see if the power is back. Nope. So back to Moms. I went into work an hour early the next morning just because we were up and I needed to try and get off to get into my powerless house. Anyway, power finally came back to us and we enjoyed a dinner at OUR dinner table and are enjoying our own beds tonight. Oh, and we also have made copies of our house keys so we will always have them on us.

Meet us in St. Louie

Actually you can't, because we already left. But we had lots of fun while we were there. My brother brought one of his band buddies with him on the trip too. There was a crazy storm Sat. night that was kinda scary but Emery didn't wake up. We went to the St. Louis Zoo on Sunday and had lots of fun. Needless to say we were all exhausted by the drive home. Huge thanks to Dad, Denise, Andrew and Nick for taking such great care of Emery on the trip and helping me out!

A few years ago I blogged about Lisa Leonard Designs and how much I loved their designs but their shipping and how long it took SUCKED! BUT, I can't help to look at their new stuff every one in awhile. And I LOVE this necklace. You can print on both sides of the necklace too. So I'm going to strongly hint to Dave that this would be a great XMas, Anniversary, or Mother's Day gift with Emery&Campbell on one side and David&Erin on the other. Perfect.

My Sling!

I ordered a Seven sling last week and got it today! I'm so excited for when I get to use it! I got the blue one called Northern Lights, but really liked all of them. And the best part of the whole thing was, I got it for FREE! I used the code "onefree" and all I paid was $12 for shipping and handling. Twelve bucks for a $40 sling! Highlight of my week def.!

St. Louie!

Heading to St. Louis soon with my Dad and Brother to visit my Grandparents! We are going to hit up the St. Louis Zoo while we are there too. We took Emery last September to the zoo and she loved it! Now we will get to go with Gpa, Gma, and Uncle Andy which should make the experience even more fun! Plus getting to spend time with my Grandparents is always a good time. I'm only a little bummed because we are not leaving till Saturday morning and then coming back Sunday, doesn't leave a lot of time. But all those people in my Grandparents house is a lot to handle so it will be fine. Hopefully we will be able to make it down there more often after Baby #2 comes.

Kung Fu Panda 2

Took Emery to see Kung Fu Panda last weekend. Reminder, Emery is 2. But we took her to the theater (in 3D) to see Toy Story 3 and she sat through the whole thing, without taking the glasses off. So we thought this would be no problem. WRONG! She was all over the place! We even brought her some twizzlers (her fav. candy) and that didn't help. She enjoyed using them as drumsticks trying to beat the Dads head in front of us. That Dad also had a little 6 month old baby with them and Emery would get up behind their seats and say "Hi Baby! What you doing? Hi Baby!"

Needless to say, we may wait awhile before we attempt to take her on another Movie outing.

Baby #2 Update

I wish I had more to write here, but I really don't. There nursery is not done and there is no name picked out yet. Emery we think is more aware of the fact that there is a baby inside Mommy's belly and she is going to be a big sister. The c-section date is about 2 months away. We'll get things figured out by then...hopefully.

Mommy and Emery's Day Out

Dave works every Saturday morning, so it's always just Emery and me. But today Dave went to help his Dad with some work after his regular work, so I wasn't going to see him all day. I wanted to make today a special day for Emery and me since there won't be a lot left once Baby #2 is here. We started out at the River Market to look at groceries with Grandpa Bill and Grandma Denise. Then we went to eat at The Farmhouse in the River Market. It was wonderful, well the food. It's all locally grown stuff. I had the Waffles with Berry Sauce. It was DELISH! My only complaint would be the service. After Brunch and a little more walking around the river market, we went home and both took a nap. When we got up from our nap we kinda lazed around the house for awhile before we set off to do some shopping and listen to some music. Emery played in the fountains while the music was going too. Then we were off to our first experience at Build a Bear. I thought they would give us a little more guidance but we were kinda on our own. That's okay though, Emery got her bear made and named (Hebear) and then we were off to the Pizza Shoppe for dinner. Dave joined us at this point and we ate together and then it was off to bed. Well anyway, it was a good Saturday and I enjoyed every min. of it with Emery.

I'm Baaaaaaaaaack!

Okay not really, I actually took a nap this afternoon and everyone else is asleep already and I'm bored so I thought I'd update my blog as much as I could. Here it goes.
