Halloween 2009

Happy Halloween!

I had a busy day baking while Sean cooked some awesome chicken cacciatore. There were multiple trips to Walmart to purchase overlooked ingredients. Zac and I met up with Quinn and Jena and took the kids Trick-or-Treating through Quinn's parents' neighborhood. Jac has so much candy! I'm going to bring some to work tomorrow. Leah fell asleep on our walk, all cozy in her blanket. Jac fell in a puddle, but didn't even cry. We went to Mawmaw's and I gave her a batch of my pumpkin spice bars. I even carved my first pumpkin!

E.R. for Jac

My parents are visiting, which came in handy since we had to take Jac to the emergency room tonight. I usually keep Leah's tummy-time blanket in the den on the floor. Jac slipped on it, mostly intentionally because he thought it was funny. The third time he slipped, he landed on his face. I picked him up to keep him from crying and blood was coming out of his nose and mouth. His nose started swelling, so we left Leah with my freaked-out parents and headed for the E.R.

Luckily, the wait wasn't very long. He didn't have any broken bones (thankfully!), but the cartilage is bruised and there might be a cut on the inside which is causing the bleeding. He was given an antibiotic to prevent infection and some nose spray and we were discharged. The things kids do for fun...

Kiddo Pictures

It's been a while since I updated. Just thought I'd post something.

I'm so lucky to have these kids.

3rd Anniversary

Mom hates my hair... oh well. She and Dad watched the kiddos for a little while so Zac and I could go on an anniversary date of Outback and Zombieland. Three years and counting!

Hair Dye

Quinn invited me over to see his and Jena's new condo. It's actually a really cute place, hidden behind large stalks of bamboo. During my outing, I looked for a costume at Walmart, picked up my check from the Shop, then came home and colored my hair. I love that my hair is short right now. Dye is easy. Also, I think girl-munchkin has my same eye color.

Nerdiness

Midnight Madness was awesome! Zac doesn't like to get dizzy, but we had a blast.


Emily and Alex went with us to Fernando's today, then we went shopping at the mall. I found some pretty rad Bride of Frankenstein earrings.

Mississippi State Fair 2009

We went to the Mississippi State Fair this morning!


It started to rain, so we called it a day. Zac and I are going to Midnight Madness tonight to ride everything for one price. So excited! I even got a new hair cut.

Purple Milk

I found something called gentian violet and it has improved my nipple's condition. Not only is my nipple purple, but so is my milk.

I packed for my parents' today and even pumped since the pain is gone and I'm not swollen anymore! My deflated chest will also come in handy tomorrow at the fair.

Solid Foods

I started Leah on cereal yesterday. She hates it.


Today I went to the doctor because my boob feels like it has shards of glass scattered under my skin. As it turns out, I have a yeast infection in my left nipple. Awesome! The slightest gravitational pull is agony... I can't bend over, I can't pick anything up, I can't do ANYTHING.

Luckily I got a few formula packets from the pediatrician earlier this week, so I can supplement for Leah. I'm just not ready to give up breastfeeding yet.
