Tales from our life...

Sicky baby day 3. Vomiting, fever, coughs and whimpers oh my! I am going to call the doctor in the morning if she still has a fever. I can't really tell, too, if her ear-pulling is just what she does from time to time or it her ear is hurting.

Tomorrow aikido starts up again and boot camp on Thursday. I'm probably going to just do the adult class because of Autumn. I might have skipped out altogether but can't since we are going to do Frank's 3rd kyu demo. It's not so much over-protective mom stuff as I just hate to ask people to carry a sick, whimpering baby for 4 hours and she refuses to eat from a bottle or sippy cup so I need to hang around and feed her so she doesn't dehydrate what with all the blarging she's been doing. Ah, well. Seven and a half months and this is our first sick experience other than the Night o' Barfing. Can't get much better than that.

I did an yesterday so it's time to Christmas photo dump yay! By the way, I've locked some of my old photo posts, mainly because I don't want a bzillion Autumn pics floating around.

Please forgive my uninspired captions. My head is hurting a bit.

Christmas Eve at Outback. We went to the Christmas Eve service at Mike's parents church. It's funny, we haven't been to a traditional church in ages and, I have to say, it was very...quiet. LOL. Oh, and Autumn doesn't actually take a pacifier. She just chews it and then sucks her thumb for comfort.

Happy mama and baby pre-sicky.

Haha. Baby robe! This is actually the day after Christmas as evidenced by the edge of what is a bounteous pile of gifts.

Christmas!

Good morning, Miss Molly, you're looking quite brown today!

We put her in the hat and bib Michelle sent. They are so cute that she wore them for 3 days. And, Autumn is much more interested in the tree than her gift.

Mike opening his stocking. I got him a couple of books in the Dragonriders of Pern series.

Autumn's first gift!

A build a bear with her heartbeat in it! I had a sound thingie that Liz got me and I made the recording at the last ultrasound before she was induced.

But she's much more interested in the crinkly noises that the bag of hershey kisses makes. I get Mike a new bag of kisses every year. this year: cordial cherry creme kisses.

My Mike haul. He really gets the best stuff for me.

We took her over to Mike's parents' in her Christmas jammies.

Santa baby!

Playing my new game and waiting on Ryan and Leah to arrive.

They make it in...Autumn and Tyler observing one another.

Christmas morning at Mike's parents' post camera on fire.

Um, this one appears to be the day after Christmas when we opened sibling gifts. As evidenced by 1. the new outfit and 2. the baby chair that my mom got her. I just noticed as I was previewing. lol.

The best hat Evar.

Brad, Tyler, and the rapidly growing Pile. Yes, it needs a capital letter. :P

Back at my house for dinner. This is my china! Like my purple charger? Sooo cool. Mike's mom found them for me. This is out of order, I realized on the preview. :) Valerie set out the silverware backwards. :P I didn't say anything.
