Wedding Fever

I totally have wedding fever right now...even though I don't know if "wedding fever" is real and even though I'm already married.  Let me tell you friends, I LOVE weddings!  I love everything about them.  From the brides shoes to the flowers on the cake, I love it all.  I love planning weddings, I love making favors for weddings, I LOVE WEDDINGS!  Okay...with all of that said, I'm in wedding planning mode for a few months because I am doing a bridal show in January! :)  I'm super stoked to be coming up with ideas for new products that I can sell.  I'm into the lace/applique veils right now and am looking into different styles.  I'm so excited, I cant contain it!  Along with the veils, I plan to sell some (of course) peacock pieces, jewelry pieces, and I have a few different ideas for party favors.  I'm already collecting supplies I think will go great with different items I'm making so stay tuned for pictures! (as soon as I figure out how to put them on here) :)  Everything else around here has been pretty smooth sailing.  My dad is visiting right now from Washington, and I'm very blessed that he is helping me do some home renovations.  We (aka my dad) has replaced the back door and the door frame, cut a new hole in the ceiling for a hatch, put up a new mail box, added eye holes in each door, the list goes on and on! :)  He is headed to my brother and sister-in-law's house here pretty soon, and he will be missed.  Thankfully my younger sister is planning to come out and visit with her husband soon.  Ellis is planning on being here for a few days at the end of the month to pick up his car and head out again.  We are hoping/praying to save enough money so we can get him home for Christmas.  We already have Eli's Halloween costumes, I couldn't decide on which one to get...so I got two. :)  Again...I'll post pictures as soon as I figure out how.  :)  I better be going, Thursday night is choir night and I still have to get Eli changed and ready to go.  Sorry this post is kinda all over the place, but that is how my brain is feeling right now. :)  Talk to you all soon!

Excited!

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately.  There hasn't been too many exciting things going on in our lives....except my dad is coming to visit!  He'll be here tomorrow.  And then 2 weeks from now Ellis is coming home!  He'll only be here for a week, but I'll take what I can get!  I will update you all with pictures and more in a few days when I actually have time to sit down and write.  But for now...onto laundry!  LOADS and LOADS :)  I hope you are all well.  Take care and God bless!

Poor Baby!

So the last two days have been anything but sane.  Last night starting around 5:30, Eli started throwing up.  Now many of you may say, "oh, babies spit up" but this was no spit up.  This was "let's soak mommy in our dinner" throw up.  I have never experienced that before, but at the time I did happen to keep my cool.  Anyway, I thought it may have just been the fact that he didn't like it or he was just a little too full.  That was until he threw up a second time at choir practice.  I had given him a bottle because he kept reaching for my water.  He had 2 ounces, just 2!  One of my friends from choir held Eli while I went and cleaned up my shirt and jeans for a second time.  Maybe about 20 minutes later...he did the same on my friend.  At that point I was thinking "Could this night get any worse?"  I should have turned my brain off right before that because it got worse.  We got home after choir and all Eli wanted to do was cuddle.(that wasn't the worse part)  The worse part was the fact that he wanted to cuddle to 2:30 in the morning.  I didn't fall asleep till around 5:00.  I figured if he had a good hard sleep he would feel better so I just let him sleep.  He finally woke up around 2:00 this afternoon.  I made him a small bowl of oat cereal and fruit and he wolfed it down.  I thought that he was good to go.  About 20-30 minutes later he crawled up beside me and fell asleep.  Not even a half hour later he was awake and threw up again all over me.  I figured it may be time to take him to the doctor.  I called and asked what I should do and they said to bring him to the Urgent Care that was closest to me.  After an hour of waiting there, they told me to bring him to the ER.  We headed to the ER and waited there for about 2 hours...While we were there they gave Eli some meds to keep food down, pedialite, and crackers.  Really?!?  That's it?  Needless to say I was a little more than upset.  I asked them if Eli happened to throw up again when we were home, they told me to take him to his doctor...oh wait, his doctor said bring him to you guys!  Arg....anyway, Eli is now sleeping, and I'm praying that he feels better in the morning.  I dont know if I can be puked on again.... 4 times is one too many for me. :)  The joys of motherhood! :)


On a brighter note...our vacation to California was great...more to come! :)

God bless you.
