migraine sufferers

What do you take/do to relief migraine headaches?

I get the ones that I'm sensitive to light and noise. I throw up a lot (sorry, too much info). And I feel the after affects for about a day and a half. I usually take 2 maximum strength Tylenol, but they don't always work. Last night I took Ibrupofen 800 mg (the stuff they give you after having a baby) and that didn't work great either.

weight loss

I am 8 pounds away from being at my pre-pregnancy weight. Can I get a what-what! After that, I will work on loosing 10 additional pounds and loosing inches so I can get my freaking amazing shopping spree! Once the air starts getting better I'm gonna hit the trails. Does anybody want a walking buddy?

Wish me luck.

I guess it was a little premature, but he's cute nonetheless. I don't know what it is, but he will tuck his arms in his cribs and in the high chair.

feeding corban

We are feeding Corban rice cereal just so he can get used to the whole idea of food coming from a dish and spoon rather than just a bottle. Anyhoo ... He took matters into his own hands.

red air

Is anyone else suffering from this awful air? My eyes are burning, my throat is starting to itch a little and both Corban and I have stuffy noses this morning. I hat red air days. Yuck.

On a different note, Corban is starting to roll over! Neither Joe nor I have actually seen him do it, but I'll flip him onto his stomach at night and in the morning he's on his back. Or, like last night, he flipped onto his belly. I don't know how long he slept like this, but his hand was stuck beneath him when I got him this morning. Cute little stinker.

I totally forgot about this little blog project! I remembered last night looking at my sister-in-laws blog and will do better, I promise.

photo update

Joe and I finally got Internet again. Hooray! So here are some pics of the boy.

Both Joe and I have clothes from when we were babies. I bought shadow boxes, put the clothes in there with our baby photos of us wearing that outfit and that is what is hanging in our nursery. We wanted to pass this tradition on to our kids, so we took Corban's picture in this outfit where we will save a photo of him and save this outfit for him.

I'm starting to feed Corban rice cereal once a day so he can get used to the idea of eating from a spoon and eating "regular" food. He's in his high chair with his arms tucked under the tray; we didn't chop them off or anything. He's not a huge fan of the whole cereal thing, but I did find out that he is a gagger, just like his mama.

what I do when my husband is home watching the boy..

I switched to digital scrapbooking a couple of months back, but I had a lot of left over paper. So, I bought a card magazine for inspiration and now make my own cards. Last night Joe watched Corban in between naps, so I took out my stuff and got to work. I now have enough birthday cards for the next couple of months!

Thanks husband for letting me have a night off and for letting me do something non-baby related.

corban update

We took Corban in for his 4 month shots. We didn't even make it to the scales before the poor little guy started crying. He is now 16 pounds and is over 2 feet tall! He had a little fever this time, but he's doing much better.

Vickie Update

My sister went in for surgery on Monday. They think they removed all the cancer and they don't think that it spread anywhere else. She goes back to the doc on Thursday and then starts chemo in February.

sad news

We found out a couple of days ago that my sister has breast cancer. We had a family fast for her today and she is going into surgery tomorrow and starting chemo next month. If you wouldn't mind, please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

This whole experience has been a bit surreal, kind of like walking in a weird dream. I never ever imagined that this could happen to someone in my family. From experiences that have happened to other family members, and the love we have for each other, I know that she will have SO much support and love from all of us. Another sister told her kids about the news and told them that they were fasting. They all whole heartedly agreed that they like Vickie, they wanted to fast too! It's a bit humbling that these kind of experience bring us closer together, but I wouldn't trade all the experiences in the world for the family that I have. I love them all so much.
