A little sickness and weekend

Yes, You heard right. SICKNESS again. My sister's little boy Harrison had a virus last Monday and Tuesday and returned to mom's on Wednesday. Thursday morning, baby boy woke up with a low grade fever. I went ahead and took him to moms with some Tylonel hoping he'd get to feeling better. So much for hoping... Mom called about lunch time and said he had been pretty lethargic all morning, not getting off the couch, not eating, and woke up from his morning nap with a pretty warm fever. So home is where I headed. He seemed to act fine as long as I had tylonel in him but he did continue to run a fever until late Friday night. Poor buddy. He just can't catch a break. I did stay home with him on Friday since he was still running a fever. Friday night Jordan and I dropped Tuff off at his moms and headed to Murfreesboro for some dinner and grocery shopping after. Later that night when we got home is when Tuff started feeling much better.

Saturday morning we woke up with a few things on the agenda. Jordan had some projects for the house brewing all week so he spent most of his time Saturday finishing those ups. We got a new screen door for our back door last weekend and he got that put up. Ahhh... I love a screen door. Especially during the spring and fall when its cool outside. Since it was a pretty nice weekend we got to spend a little time trying out the new screen door. :) My father in law and hubby also worked hard getting the new treadmill in the house and set up for me. I have been telling Jordan that I really need to exercise more with this baby than I did when I was pregnant with Tuff. I don't have very much time in the afternoons to get out and walk before it gets dark so I thought it would be best to get something I could work with inside and after Tuff lays down for bed. What's better for that than a treadmill? Tonight will be my first night... walking. :) Hopefully it will help me stay healthier throughout this pregnancy. I'm also hoping it will help with prevention of that terrible preeclampsia I had with Tuff. I have been experiencing ALOT of headaches the past few weeks and I'm so afraid it has something to do with my blood pressure. I go back to the doctor next Friday so we will be addressing this issue with my doctor then. It's just too early in the pregnancy to have blood pressure issues. Praying for other explanations... So while Hubby was finishing his projects me, Tuff and my sister Tori headed to get Tuff's hair cut. Poor boy is going to have some really fast growing hair just like his daddy. And poor mama and daddys pocket books are going to go empty because of hair cuts! :) Actually, we are pretty lucky since Jordan's sister cuts hair for a living. Most of the time when we can get ahold of her, she cuts it. For free. Which is nice for our pocket books. We kept my sister Saturday and overnight since my mom and dad were going to be gone most of the day and late into the night. She always helps out alot with Tuff when she's over. And it's nice to have a little break. I made homemade pizzas for dinner and we all headed to bed early. I had a headache and Tuff didn't get an afternoon nap so we were all ready for bed, early! :)

I got up Sunday and cooked breakfast for everyone then we all had showers and got ready to go to the Boro while Tuff napped. I finally went shopping for maternity clothes. I got several things so I'm hoping most everything I got will last me through the whole pregnancy. After shopping, we headed home to relax for the rest of the afternoon. Jordan had the screen door open when we got home from shopping. It was so nice outside yesterday afternoon. The breeze was refreshing. Perfect ending to a perfect weekend! :)

While we were out Friday night, we FINALLY picked up a booster seat for Tuff. I was hoping he would eat better if he could sit at the table with us. We tested it out Saturday morning and he LOVED it. Now we can throw away that dreadful high chair. I hated his high chair. We couldn't have gotten rid of it sooner!!!! Anyways, here are a few shots of our BIG BOY in his new big boy chair!!!

The quality is better in the first one because I took it with my camera. The 2nd one I got with my cell. He wouldn't smile for the regular camera like he did with my cell. He looks so big sitting up there! :)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
