Babysitters, yuck!!

This morning I woke up to snow! First time for us this year in Cedar City. I was already sad and depressed cause I had to go to work today, but the snow topped it off. I took Cody to the baby sitter for the first time. Yesterday we went over to the babysitter's house just to check things out. While we were there a kid twice Cody's size tackled him and tried to bite him. Then every time he would find a toy he liked some other kid would come take it away. Then he would find another toy and it would get taken away as well. He would look at me with sad puppy eyes and I couldn't do anything. I know that this will probably be good for him, learn how to stick up for himself, but it was so sad to watch. This sounds pathetic and if your laughing then I understand cause I never understood this until I had a kid of my own. You never want them to be sad or anything. So this morning it was so hard to leave him there with all the other kids. I'm sure he will love it, but for me it broke my heart. I am over paranoid and all I could think about was, I hope he doesn't get hurt, I hope they feed him, I hope they change his diaper, I hope another kid doesn't kill him and if they do I will kill them! ha ha. (If you have a kid i'm sure you understand!) I'm sure he will be fine, but it was sure hard for me. I'm thankful I only work PRN and will only have to do it once in a while. I don't know how you other moms do it, who work full-time and take your kids to someone other than family or a close friend! You are all incredible.

I had my ob appointment Tuesday: Everything looked great! If you are wondering if it is possible to gain 8 pounds in 4 weeks apparently it is. Don't ask I'm already depressed about that as well. So that rings me up to a total of 17 pounds gained for this pregnancy. My doctor thought he needed to give me the weight talk. No thanks!! I blame it all on Halloween and the skor bar icecream that my sister left in my freezer, thanks for that! So since I only have 13 pounds left to gain to keep me in the good area of weight gain during pregnancy which is around 30 pounds I better be careful for the rest of the time. Will I go over that, probably by double. Which is actually kind of funny right now. I don't know why.

Anyway on a brighter note: Cody had his one year appt Monday.
Height 33.5" 100%
Weight 24.08 lbs 72%
Head 19" 92%
It seems he is growing quite well. He has lost 1 pound but thats probably cause he will never slow down to eat. I had to pin him down while they drew his blood for an allergy test, that was traumatic. It came back this morning and he is allergic to peanuts and egg whites. He should grow out of the egg white allergy but he will probably always be allergic to peanuts. That sucks! Think about all the good candy he won't be able to have.

We are going to Delta this weekend for the annual pheasant hunt and I am really excited. It is always so much fun to get together with Russ' family. They are great! Well I better get back to work! I know doing this on work time, whatever! What else am I suppose to do while I am here for 12 hours. Plus we haven't seen any patients for 1 hour. Well I hope you all have a great weekend.

Here is Cody's birthday cake

Blowing out the candles. He looks like hes concentrating.

Daddy and Cody. Russ dressed up as a cowboy. Cody absolutely hated wearing the helmet.

Here I am 21 1/2 weeks pregnant. Seriously something is wrong with this picture. I am totally bigger than what it looks like. I asked Russ if I looked like this and he said no.
please ignore my dirty kitchen. We are living in Cedar City now and are renting an upstairs to a house. We love this house. Maybe I will put some pics up of it. Maybe that will give me incentive to clean it:)

Allergy?????

So growing up Russ and I were never allergic to anything. Too bad our little Cody is not going to be so lucky. He is finally one and I decided to give him some peanut butter. Well he is allergic. Poor boy started itching his eyes and everywhere. I thought he may have something in his eyes so I put him in the tub. Then I realized he was having an allergic reaction. His eyes were all puffy and swelling shut. He had red rashes all over his face and body. I called my pediatricians office to ask how much benadryl I should give him. The stupid (sorry) receptionist had the guts to put me on hold. I was on hold for 10 minutes when I hung up. So I guessed and figured that overdosing him was better than not giving him anything. The whole time all I could think about was Russ' uncle Kevin. He is severly allergic to peanuts and if he doesn't have an epi pen on hand his throat swells shut and pretty much he will die. I took Cody to the instacare and luckily his throat wasn't swollen. He will have to do some allergy test or something. But it sucks that we are going to have to check on everything to see if it has peanuts in it.

On a brighter note. My little boy is now 1! Yay!! We had his party last friday and it was great. All of our family came and they made it so fun for us. Cody is so smart he even blew out the candles. Are they suppose to do this at 1? I dunno, but Cody did. His favorite words are , again, ready set go, mamma, dadda, key, o, bum bum, ya, and no. I was looking at Cody the other day and thinking how big he is. He is now a little boy no longer a baby. Good thing i'm getting another one:)

Cody dressed up as a knight for Halloween. He was so cute. We went trick or treating to a couple places, (not that he could eat it but we could)! Shandi was here and dressed me up. Not quite sure what I was. Some people said I was a vampire, some a sparkly women and other rosalie off of twilight! Ha! I still don't know what I was. But we sure had a blast.

I am now 21, I think weeks pregnant. Isn't that sad I'm not quite sure. But I know its around there. I am doing pretty good. This baby is crazy. It won't hold still for even a second and I feel like i'm on a rollercoaster all the time which is totally different from my pregnancy with Cody. We don't have any names quite yet. We still like Lawson and Kaden from last time but I would like more ideas!
