2nd tooth has come!

Well, Evan's second tooth has made its debut finally... he overall did a WHOLE lot better with this tooth than the first one. But, I can definitely always tell when he is cutting a tooth, just extra fussy mainly and doesn't sleep as well. But I am thankful for the little guy... he's such a good baby. It does make me scared to have another sometimes because of how good he is- haha. Let's see, Evan is still all over the place with is rolling and scooting... he's starting to draw his knees upwards so I'm thinking he will crawl within the next month or so. I guess I need to be a little more prepared for when that happens!! He loves his little walker! He flies around in that thing, its so funny!
Ryan took my camera so I don't have any pictures to upload. I'm still learning how to work this blog thing, so that's why my blog is ugly and has no pictures! I can't figure it out! haha! Well I have some good news to update on my PawPaw... I guess as good as we can get at this point... we did find out that his cancer has not spread! So that's wonderful! Praise God!!! :D So thanks to everyone for their prayers! Please keep praying! He'll start chemo next week.
Next week I'm looking foward to heading down to Raleigh to visit with Chelsea (my old roommate) and Noah who was born the same day as Evan! I'm looking foward to getting these 2 together... it will be so cute!! Well I guess I'm gonna head out! Have a great week everyone and weekend!

So this past week has been quite a challenging one I guess I should say..... Evan did have his appointment on thursday.... he weighed 15 lbs 8 oz and was 27 inches long! Yes this kid is gonna be tall! haha! He did really well with his shots, of course he cries, but once its over and I'm holding him he's ok. It really does break my heart like I know it does for all the other moms out there that have to go through that with their kids.
On a sadder note, we found out on thursday also that my PawPaw has stage 4 lung cancer. Thankfully he is going to treat it and we are just praying that he will conquer and defeat this cancer! So if everyone will please keep him and my family in your prayers as this is going to be a tough ride, but I'm really believing that he's gonna pull through and defy all odds! :)
This weekend was nice and relaxing for the most part. We didn't do a whole lot. We are starting to collect some things for the beach though. We will be leaving in about 3 weeks! I can't wait! This will be Evan's first beach trip (obviously), so we are working on collecting everything we need for him! So I also think Evan is getting ready to cut his 2nd tooth. He's been a little fussy and I've been hoping that he didn't get my sickness. Which by the way I'm starting to feel better- I finally got the doctor to call me in some medication, so I'm almost all the way better! :)
Ok.... welll until next time...

ah sickness....

Well, so much for attempting to keep up with a blog... but here goes another try....

So on friday, I started feeling a bit ill with a sore throat which progressed into achiness, chills, weakness and a fever. The next morning I had to go to work and get up at 3 am (mind you), and my throat was still sore and I was still weak... the day progressed and I got a little stronger. Sunday, still sore throat and more stuffiness, and by that evening I started losing my voice and here we are on wednesday, my voice is still gone and my throat is still sore. People at work keep joking its the swine flu, I really was kind of afraid for a second. The doctor said she had no idea and that it was viral... that was a waste of $25.

So Evan has cut his first tooth... it peeked through about a couple of weeks ago just before his 6 month birthday. He didn't sleep well for like 2 weeks and then all of the sudden he was sleeping good again and so I knew he must have cut his first tooth and sure enough there it was! I must admit I was pretty nervous because I am still breastfeeding and that's like one of my biggest fears of him chomping. So I'm working on overcoming that fear currently. I think he is starting to cut the next one also a little bit.

Evan is growing soooo much! I go to the doctor tomorrow for his 6 month checkup. Of course I am dreading the shots. I usually will give him some tylenol before we go and I do think it helps. But overall he really does well with them, yeah he cries but after its over we usually have no problems! Right now he is still rolling everywhere... he's getting closer to sitting up by himself. No signs of crawling yet. He is still following in his daddy's footsteps of course! :)

Also on another note, speaking of Ryan, he is currently working on making a live album of our church praise band that he calls Background Ministries. He is recording all of our worship services and will be making a CD. Check out the website @ www.myspace.com/backgroundministries - you can listen to the first song that he got done there! I am so proud of him! He is doing a great job!

Well, I can't think of a whole lot else that's going on besides usual work drama. For those of you who know and don't know please continue to pray for my job situation as they are working on shift bids. I am asking for my early morning hours again and also for sundays off- which I REALLY need! So thank you for all your prayers!!

Until next time.....
