Peace and Quiet

All I have needed all day is some peace and quiet! Well... I finally have it, and so I thought I would come blog! We got a new computer last week and now we broke down and got cable and internet! [I just realized that I use alot of exclamation points]


Anyway...this is what's been going on over here...Today I took a 4hr exam called the TEAS exam. It must be taken in order to get into the nursing program. All I know is that it made my head hurt, and I really thought I was done with CATS Testing Junior year of high school; NOPE! This was pretty much exactly the same. Those little bubbles, questions about earth science that I think I was never taught, and converting Celcius to Ferienheight...oh brother! I made a 100% on my Nurse Aide Test, and a 110% on my Anatomy Test!!! I am doing so much better this time around it is unreal!


UPDATE: Mado is doing great! He is no longer contagious (I forgot to blog about it, but he had the dreadful Swine Flu!) and he is back home. You see since we have Jakkopotamus, Mado couldn't stay at home to make sure Jakk didn't catch it because he's so small and has weak lungs. Maddox stay with my parents, which I think he enjoyed more than being at home...


Also I got this new breast pump...a top notch Medela, and it is wonderful! I know ya'll probably don't understand why I get so excited about a breast pump, but it really makes a difference with you milk supply if you have a good pump! I alsom started Jakk on some solids and he is doing amazing with them!



Now it's time for....PICTURES!!!!



We got Jakk this new BeBe Pod (Bumbo Seat) and he's not to sure about it, but he looks too cute in it!





When eats he always manages to get this Mad Scientist hair style going on!


Jakk in the Jumperoo!

My boys watching Barney [for the 5th time] together..hmmm..oh btw I know my house is a wreck...don't judge!

Just chillin'
We got Mado this power Wheels 4wheeler...and he LOVES it!


Well that's all for now!


Love,

Swine Flu?!?!?

So...it turns out that my brother in law has swine flu. We found this out yesterday after having Maddox and Jakk in the same house with him half the day on Sunday! So I am kinda freaking out, not because it is the Swine flu but because influenza is very serious in babies and especially in babies that were born with weak lungs(Jakk)! I am going to have to call the doctor today I guess to see what I need to do now. On a lighter note...

I only have 3 more class days and three clinical days left of my Nurse Aide class and then no more early morning drives to Glasgow! I also think I have found my calling. I am doing so well in ALL of my classes! Are you proud Christine? I think I was meant to be a nurse.
Ohhhh...
VENT:
I have this friend that doesn't know how to keep her legs shut isn't very lady like! Well... she is going through a divorce, and thinks she might be preggo with another man's child! What's worse is she keeps hinting around to me that if she is preggo, she WILL NOT have another baby...get what she means! I finally couldn't take it...i went off. There are so many people that try so hard to have a baby (me at one time) and just can't, and she is going to have an abortion if she's preggo because she can't keep it in her pants!!! Uhggg! That's all!

I'm Ba-ack...

So I don't know if anyone noticed, but I have been gone for quite sometime. I have been so busy with school and the boys. I have a class that is a biterm that is going to be over at the end of Sept....so YAY!!! That class last for four hrs three days a week, therefore; I am thrilled to have that out of the way soon. So what have I been up to lately? Well lets see...a week ago Mado woke up with a rash thing that spread all over his body thoughout the day...I mean it looked like he had been caught on fire HORRIBLE! It turned out to be hives...he's had them really bad before but not that bad. We now have to take him an Allergist on Oct. 14th to find out what he is allergic to that keeps doing this.

It looked like this only bright, bright red...the doctor took a picture of it because it was so bad!

So we will see what happns with that, you should have seen him his face was all puffy and red. I seriously cried with him becasue I felt so bad for him!

On a lighter note...Jakk has started eating cereal, and we have now moved him to stage one foods! He is doing really well, and eats wonderfully from a spoon...my little piglet eats like a champ! Pictures to come soon!
