Well, where do I begin with all that has happened since the last time I blogged. We had such a busy and wonderful weekend! First, it started out on Friday with me taking River to see his pediatrician. Nana and Pap kept him on Thursday night and I picked him up Friday morning. Nana said that he had had a little bit of a rough night. He had been pulling on his ear and had a lot of sinus congestion, but had not been running a fever. She said that he just wasn't acting like himself and had been crying more than usual. We have been battling this sinus congestion for almost 2 weeks now. He has had so much trouble breathing and it's hard for him to take a bottle and it interrupts his sleep. So I decided to go ahead and take him in to see his doctor just to see if anything was wrong. Dr. Nesmith said his ears looked good and his lungs sounded good, so that was all great news. They also tested him for Strep, which was negative. Everything was normal and Dr. Nesmith said that it's probably just a virus. River's 6 month appointment was scheduled for next week and he turned 6 months last Thursday, so I asked if we could go ahead and get his shots and do his 6 month well-check, since we were already there. River got 4 shots and he weighed 16.9 lbs. He is in the 95th percentile for his height and the 50th percentile for his weight. Dr. Nesmith said he looked great and sent us on our way! River still didn't feel very good Saturday, but he felt great on Sunday!
Friday afternoon, Jolie picked River and I up in Teague and took us to Whitney on her way through. Nick had to go to College Station for a judging contest on Saturday morning, so River and I went ahead and went to Whitney. Nick met us there Saturday afternoon. This weekend was opening day of deer season, so of course everyone came in to do a little deer hunting. Saturday we spent the day with family and eating great food! I also brought River's lion costume for everyone in Whitney to see.
While we were there, Ma Ma gave River a bath in the big bathtub. River loved it!! She also had some toy frogs that she put in the water with him and he thought they were great! At first, he didn't really know what to think about them, but he soon thought they were neat!
Saturday evening, when Nick got to Whitney, we took River on his first deer hunting trip! Ma Ma, Pa Pa, Nick, River, and I all sat in the big deer stand. We didn't see anything, but we had a good time talking and playing with River. He was quiet for the most part, until the end when he starting getting sleepy.
Sunday, Nick and I went to a Dallas Cowboy football game! What an awesome experience! Nick bought tickets for me for my birthday. Ma Ma kept River while we went to the game and they had a great time together! I really enjoyed the game and had so much fun with Nick. It was really nice to get to spend some time with him. The Cowboys Stadium is definitely something to see. It is huge! We sat on the top tier, but on the 50 yard line. We had great seats! The Cowboys won and we really enjoyed the game and "people watching"! :)
Thankful (a little behind!)
November 3rd: I am thankful for my son, River. He is such a blessing and a joy. He is healthy and happy and he brightens my day everyday. I am thankful that I get to be his Mommy and watch him grow! I love him very very much!
November 4th: I am so thankful for my parents. My Mom and Dad are so wonderful! They are the best parents. They love me unconditionally and support me in everything I do. My Mom is one of my best friends. We usually talk twice a day! My parents are hard workers and always provided the best for me. I love them so much!!
November 5th: I am thankful for my family. My family is so loving, caring, and fun! I am also thankful for the family that I have gained through marrying Nick. They have taken me in like their own and I am very appreciative of them!
November 6th: I am thankful for my friends. Wow! I have some wonderful friends. My friends have been there through the good times and bad and have loved and supported me through it all. I have made great friends everywhere I have lived and I am thankful for each and every one of them!
