Father’s Day Weekend

Our weekend started off great. We had  a nice dinner at Shamansky’s on Friday night. Then on Saturday, we took Carter to get his hair cut and ran errands. The hair cut didn't go as smooth as we’d hoped, but it got done and turned out great! Well, come Saturday night, right before bed I noticed Carter felt a little warm! I took his temperature and it was 100.5 so I gave him some Advil and put him to bed. Around 4 am I got up to check on him and he felt pretty hot so I gave him some more Advil and when I checked his temperature, it was 102.7.

Father’s Day Sunday morning came bright and early and I could just tell he wasn't feeling good at all. He kept complaining about his throat, so CJ and I decided just to take him into Pediatric After Hours and not wait. I’m glad we took him because he definitely has a throat infection and the doctor prescribed us Amoxicillan. After the doctor’s visit, we went to CVS, Panera for lunch, and then Blockbuster and headed home. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and taking care of our sick boy! Unfortunately, we didn't have the fun filled Father’s Day we thought we would, but that’s life for ya! It tends to throw you curve balls every now and then!

Because we were so busy with a sick child, and we didn't do anything all weekend, I didn't take any pictures except two this morning from when Daddy brought Carter and I McDonald’s for breakfast :)

What a good Daddy we have! Happy Father’s Day everyone! Carter is feeling better today, but his throat is still pretty sore. The fever seems to have broken though, so hopefully tomorrow is even better!

Here is our baby girl (Yes, she is still a girl!!!) at 31 weeks & 4 days!

Callie Steinhauser_edited-1

Her heart rate was 147 BPM. She weighs a little over 3lbs and is in the head down position. My fluid levels were great and the cord looked good (no knots, & it wasn’t anywhere near her neck!) The tech showed me that she does have hair already and everything else is right on target for growth!  Callie Steinhauser 001 Callie Steinhauser 002 I am so glad we got to see her again before she makes her appearance into this world! It was so amazing to watch on the screen, just how clear and vivid it is now. I go for my 32 week check up tomorrow…so we’re moving right along :)

A Pool Day!

 

I’ve been wanting to take Carter swimming for some time now, but its hard when you don't really live close to any pools! Well,  I knew Olivia was off today and she’s told me before that anytime we want to come over, we can. So, I called her this morning and off we went to her house! Its all the way in Waldorf, but its been so hot, it was worth the trip! It felt so good to swim, I felt so light just floating around in the pool, lol! I even wore a bikini because I haven’t bought a tankini yet, but it was just Olivia there so I didn't care!  

Carter had fun too, he was a little scared to be in it, but I think in time he’ll get better! Its just that he’s not used to it yet since we hardly ever go, but we are gonna start….I’ve gotta stay cool this summer!2011_06_12_5441 2011_06_12_5442 2011_06_12_5446 2011_06_12_5447
