Being sick is no fun
Me and Kenna both are sick. Ryan came home this past weekend with a cold and lovingly shared it with us. :) Kenna has a runny nose and occasional cough. My throat hurts like mad and I'm getting a stuffy nose. Awesome. Monday night Kenna had a puking spell. I think with all the snot in her nose and coughing so hard made her puke. Luckily I was in her room quietly setting up her humidifier when I heard a very wet cough. I listen and she started crying so I picked her up to check her and her face was covered. While she was laying on me, she coughed and puked over my shoulder and all over the carpet. So in the bath tub we went. Mind you this was like 9:30pm. I stripped her down to her diaper and she sat in the tub and puked a few more times. Poor thing was so upset. She was crying the whole time and would cry harder after she puked. I couldn't do anything but pat her back and wipe her mouth until she was done. After she was done, I rinsed out the tub and gave her a quick bath. After her bath I put on Yo Gabba Gabba for her while I went and cleaned up her bedroom. Then after YGG, I gave her a small 4oz bottle of formula and put her back down. She woke up coughing a few times but no more puking. Horray!
Yesterday was a lazy day. We both felt like poo I think so we just laid around in our pjs and watched tv. She ate like normal so that's good. I put her down at 7ish and she was up at 9:30 crying so we snuggled. Then again at 11. Then she was out til 4:30 when she woke up crying again. I snuggled her a little and she went back to sleep. I didn't hear a peep out of her until after 9 this morning. Poor thing. I need to go to Target today to get a pack of bigger diapers for bed time. Hopefully that makes the middle of the night cries stop. We'll see.
Today Ryan comes home for the holiday! His boss was hinting that it would be a half day so fingers crossed! The only thing that sucks is that there is a 12:30 train and not another train til a little after 4. So if he isn't out of work by 12, he won't get home early. Sucky. I haven't heard from him yet but I'm really hoping he gets the 12:30 train. Knowing our luck though he won't. Tis how it works. But at least he'll be home sometime today. Yay!
The next 3 days are going to be super busy so I probably won't be able to update. We have 2 dinners tomorrow, 1 friday and 1 saturday. Man thats a lot of food. :)
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Never having fast food again
Not because its healthier. Not because I want to save money. Because of the terrible things it does to my insides. Never again. Except healthyish type food like Subway or something.
Anyway, its been relatively calm over here. Kenna has been waking up still once at night for a diaper change. I don't get it. Maybe I'll try to keep it warmer in there and see if that helps. She had class yesterday. All her therapists said she did great. We did not have her meeting because not everyone could make it so we pushed it back 2 weeks. Hopefully that works. We'll see.
Tonight is Harry Potter night!! As soon as Kenna wakes up from her nap, we're going down to my moms to drop her off. Then I'll go pick up Ryan and come back up here since the movie theater is just down the street. We're going to eat at Applebees before. I'm so excited. The tickets are printed off and in my purse. Hopefully she has a good time at grandma's. Crazy overly protective grandma. :)
Oh crap I hear noises. Apparently we're only taking 1.5 hour nap today. Sucky. I leave you with pictures from our small picture party and a video.
This is a video of her watching the commercial for that dancing mickey toy. Its hilarious apparently. I had to get her to stop pushing the space bar because she kept pausing it. Silly girl.

It was a great day...
The past 2 days have been pretty good. We've just been hanging out at home. Tomorrow we'll have to venture out and go to Target for some stuff. Hopefully it goes as well as the last 2 trips.
She has been getting up the past 2 nights and I don't know why. Its usually around 3am. The night before last we were up for over an hour and I finally gave in and fed her. I'm not sure if thats what she wanted. I tried rocking her and every time I'd lay her down, 10 minutes later she was crying. I changed her diaper, fed her and she went right back to sleep. Last night she got up again at around 3am. I rocked her for 40 minutes and laid her down. She was up 10 minutes later. I changed her and rocked her some more and when I laid her down, she was out. I'm not sure if she was bothered by the diaper or if she just knew to go back to sleep after her diaper change. I put a different type of diaper on her tonight so we'll see. Plus she ate a lot more today so I know she shouldn't be hungry. The plus side of her getting up is that she has been sleeping later. I got to sleep in til 9:30 both mornings. Also, she has went straight down for her naps the past 2 days. Maybe its a growth spurt. Or she's learning to go right to sleep. I'm not complaining either way. :)
Ryan also might have found an apartment. He decided to search for a roommate instead of just a studio. Same price but more likely in a better neighborhood and you split the bills. So hopefully he'll be into a place he found last night this weekend. Or sometime next week at the latest. We shall see. He's looking at it tomorrow night. We're both excited.
Since I've had 2 long nights, I'm going to try and hit the hay early. I'm hoping for a solid night sleep. I know we both need it.

New Blog design!!!
My awesome blog now looks awesome. :) Thanks to my friend at Jumping Jax Designs. I'm so happy with it! She is amazing. She does all sorts of products to check her out.
http://www.jumpingjaxdesigns.com/
So Kenna is almost 100% hive free. She has a few here and there but for the most part, shes fine. She is also all done with her medicine, so hopefully no more ear infections for a while.
Friday night we got to pick up daddy and hang out. She wasn't awake long since he didn't get in until 7:10. Saturday we met my dad and step-mom at one of my favorite places in Kenosha. They were taking Kenna for the night. We had lunch and Kenna was pretty well behaved. She didn't do a lot of screaming which is good. Hopefully this means I can start taking her out more. We'll see. Then after they took her, we went shopping. I tried on a pair of boots from Old Navy but they didn't fit over my man calves. :( Then on our way home we stopped at the liquor store and got some goodies. After that, I picked up my chinese food and Ryan got Jimmy Johns. I branched out and tried chicken with garlic sauce. It was delicious. Then we just watched our dvr'd shows and drank. It was fun.
Today was a now typical Sunday. We ate breakfast and Ryan packed. Then we drove down to my dads and hung out. My step-mom cooked us spaghetti and we watched football. GO BEARS! ;) Then I dropped Ryan off, picked Kenna back up and home we came. I cleaned up a little bit, got her in her jammies and we watched some tv. Then I put her to bed at 8.
I'm really really hoping this week is better than the last 2. It can't get too much worse. Knock on wood. Thursday I have a meeting with all her teachers to discuss her therapies and our goals. Hopefully we make it. She hasn't been to school in 2 weeks. Also, tomorrow I'm going to start the 30 day shred. I hope I don't die the first day. :) But since I start it tomorrow, I'm going to go have a soda and a snack.

Sick, cranky baby
Today probably sucked more than yesterday. Heres why:
Kenna woke up at 4:30 crying. I changed her, gave her benadryl and motrin and a bottle.
I couldn't get back to sleep until 6-6:30. She was up at 7:30
She is still covered with hives, if not more and super cranky
She threw my glasses on the floor and when I got up to tend to her, I stepped on them. They broke. :(
She cried through every meal I tried to feed her. She ate 1/3 of what she usually does.
She would randomly just start crying. I have no idea why.
This is what I'm dealing with.
I'm exhausted. I need sleep. She just woke up crying and went back to sleep. This is the second time in 1.5 hours. Doesn't look good. I pray tomorrow goes easier. At least I get to escape for a little bit and go to the doctor. I'll take any break, even if it includes a pelvic exam. :)

Terrible day
Kenna woke up covered in hives all over her body. They didn't seem to be itchy or anything but they were everywhere. I called the doctor right away. They scheduled us to come in this afternoon. She ate breakfast and lunch fine and wasn't overly crabby. She seemed a little warm but nothing unusual.
We went to the doctor at 2. She thinks she is allergic to amoxicillin. Awesome. So the doctor prescribes azythromyacin. It smells terrible and apparently doesn't taste better. We still haven't gotten the health insurance cards from Ryan's new job, so when they ran the cards Kenna's primary came back expired so her state wouldn't cover it. So I had to pay full price. It sucked. Now we'll be overdrawn once rent goes through unless they don't cash it until after Monday. They never wait that long so we'll see. I gave her motrin, which she took very well. The benadry on the other hand, did not go well. I think half got in. Then I put her new medicine in her night time bottle. That was a huge fail. She took a few drinks and refused the rest. So we wasted a teaspoon. I'll need to figure out a new way tomorrow. Amox was so much easier to give. I hope she outgrows the allergy or that it was a fluke.
The past week has just been awful. I'm scared to go to the doctor Thursday. I can't take anymore bad news or stress. Being home was suppose to make things easier. Tomorrow has to be a better day.
Oh here is a video of Kenna walking around.
