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.....
