Our Spring Break Adventure...

Our spring break this year has been full of crazy adventures.
Monday was pretty normal, we hung out and was lazy all day. Elly was a little fussy that day and we thought it was just teething. We went and hung out with the Haynies and had lots of fun, I left at 11 and anthony came home at 1 lol. When I got home I changed elly's diaper and saw these little hive like bumps around where the edge of her diaper was. I didnt think much of it and put some diaper rash cream on it and put her to bed. She was super grumpy that night and didnt sleep well at all.
Tuesday. I woke up and got elly out of bed and she was covered in a rash and hives arms legs and a little on her face back and chest. I had no idea what it was and was kinda scared so I called her dr and we took her in later that day. He said it was probably contact dermititus and put her on a benadryl regiment. It made her more sleepy and a little more managable so we thought it was making her feel better. She still wasnt quite herself but she was acting better. So we put her to bed and she woke up 2 times so anthony gave her a blessing and she slept a little longer. Then woke up at 3 and wouldnt stop screaming and the rash looked worse and finally we got her to sleep at 5 and she woke up 2 more times.
Wednesday. When she woke up the rash was a little better(or so we thought ) on her arms and legs it had turned more of a light brown not red, but the hives and rash got worse and bigger on her chest. Anthony had his Actuarial exam that day so I spent the day with a screaming very clingy child, and felt horrible cause I couldnt do anything for her. It is the worst feeling in the world feeling so helpless, expecially when you love something so much. So we called her dr and he couldnt fit us in so we ended up taking her to the ER around 6 and when we got there they told us it looked to be an allergic reaction to the ammoxicilin that she had just finished taking for her ear infection. They said she was probably allergic to the penicyllan in it. They gave her a shot of addrenlilin since her toes were starting to turn purple from lack of circulation and swelling. (which was horrifying) then they gave her 3 doses of zyrtec and it was amazing to see how the rash and hives started to get lighter in color and fade.
Thursday we woke up after only waking up once. She looked so so so much better her face almost cleared(although she hates taking her medicine) and her body clearning up nicely. I took her in for her follow up appointment and they said shes looking so much better and that the meds she is taking is making her better.
So to my relief my daughter is fine, still a little fussy but so much more like herself. Fighting sleep right now as we speak but she is playing and eating and being elly and I cant tell you how horrifying it was to see the reaction to the medicine. I am so greatful for the power of the priesthood and my husband being worthy to hold it. I am also so greatful for dr's who know how to help my baby girl feel so much better. Needless to say it was not fun but I am SO happy its almost over. I love my family and I love my baby girl and shes doing awesome now :)
Thats my spring break fun, hopefully the weekend is more fun haha.

Happy Birthday Elly Dear!

One Year ago today I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, at 5 pounds 13 ounces she was teeny but so amazing and perfect. I still remember in vivid detail the labor and the first cry, everything :) My labor was super easy and pretty short for my first kid, 9 hours and in 15 min of pushing she came right out. I remember feeling such an overwhelming sense of love and amazement that such an amazing thing came out of me. That love has just increased and continues to increase with every laugh every word. My beautiful smart girl started rolling over at 2 months and crawling at 5 1/2 months and walking at 9 1/2 months. Shes always been a mover and a shaker and so smart! She will say mama, dadda, bobba, she'll sign more and please and want. there are so many other things she does. I just wanted to publicly say how much i love her and how proud of her i am! I love you elly!!!
Love Mommy!

The Votes are in!

Were excited to announce that we will be having a baby boy!!! We are going to name him Ian Kell and he will be making his debut sometime around July 5th!! YAY

Post your bets!

we find out what baby #2 is on the 17th... any guesses lol have fun with it!

Welcome 2010

Well I figured that the new year would be as good a time as any to write a new post.. since the last time i posted was in October.. lol Much has happened since then. For those of you who do not already know, we are expecting baby number 2 in July sometime around the 5th and are so excited. We found out back in october but were waiting to tell everyone till i started getting fat haha. But im allowed to gain weight now haha no losing weight for me this new year haha. We are so excited for baby number 2 though, cant wait!
Another new thing is that elly is walking. she just started one day and is starting to get fast lol. Shes so cute to watch take little steps as she tenitively steps into toddlerhood. Oh i cant believe how big she is. Shes 10 months old!!! Yikes where has the time gone lol We love her so much more than words can say. I highly reccomend children to those of you who dont have them lol. They are the biggest most wonderful challenge ever but the most worth it.
Today is a big day of memories for me, 2 years ago today I met the man of my dreams. It was at a new years eve party that i didnt want to go to but my best bud chelsea made me. Boy am I glad that I went. Even from the moment we met I knew there was going to be soemthing different about anthony. We just clicked, and still do. I love him so incredibly much and probably dont show or tell him enough. He is the most wonderful husband, provider and father. I couldnt have found a better man. He puts up with all my shortcomings, and I have many. I love him so much.. no matter what you girls say i have the best hubby in the world lol.
Well I'll try to keep more posts up. When we find out what were having i'll be sure to post it. Happy new year everyone!! Loves the Lock-Smiths!

Tinkerbell anyone?

Well hello all bloggers!! Halloween was fun for elly and I but poor anthony had to work. Elly made an adorable monkey and I made a pretty cute tinkerbell, sporting my new haircut. Anthony made 50$ on tips but that was the brightest spot in his night.. oh besides us stopping by his work to show off how cute elly was. Well thats our quick halloween update.

Here is elly an i before dressed up.

Jen mom and I all dressed up.. mom looks gorgous and jen is awesome she fit into her high school cheerleading outfit after having 2 kids.. GO JEN!

The cute tinkerbell with her friend monkey.. isnt elly SO cute!

And elly and dusty. Dusty had a dog on his shirt. lol

The tale of the tooth...

So to update you on the whole adjustment thing, elly sleeps fantastic now, for the first week it was just 5 hour streches (because she was teething) but she broke 2 teeth and now sleeps from 830-530.. I know!!! Its amazing, shes so much happier and everhthing.. Shes amazing.

Anyways the other day she was crawling around on the floor and anthony was on the couch and she bit his foot.. with those 2 razor sharp teeth.. he wast too happy about it but it was funny to me. Her teeth look so cute in her little mouth :) she now eats grahm crackers, and some times we'll give her a french fry lol. But shes getting so big. She's almost 8 months old and so mobile, I think she'll be walking by thanksgiving... YIKES! haha. She keeps us plenty busy and on our toes. Anthony is doing great in his school and not going crazy at work. lol. I am keeping A's in my classes, despite the lack of drive to do homework lol. Today we got to go to Chelsea and Wes Ward's wedding and it was fabulous!! YAY for chels and wes! Congrats and best wishes!
