Back at Doernbechers :(

Last night we went to visit my dad in Chehalis and try and cheer him up and when we got there he noticed that she felt really warm. I took her temp. and it was 103.5! I thought it was wrong because she seemed relatively happy...I took it again and it was the same. So we packed up and my dad took us to the hospital in Centralia. They gave her an antibiotic injection and did a urinalysis. It came back positive. They were able to get her temp down and we went home. Well all night, she just layed in her crib half asleep and whimpered. She woke up with another fever. We called her pediatrician and they rushed us here since she'd only drank 3oz in 12 hours and had only one wet diaper. We got here and her temp was back up to 103. The got an IV started (I cried the whole time!) and got some fluids in here. The dumb thing is the meds she got last night don't work. Apparently this bacteria is resistant to them. We had to completely start from scratch. We'll be here at least for two days...who knows after that. It's so sad to see her like this. She's normally very bubbly and happy. She just wants to lay on my chest. She can't even cry...it comes out as more of a whimper. Joe's mom came after a little while because I was all by myself and losing it...I went to go get some food while she sat with Bella. On my way I stopped and bought her a "wooby" When I was in the elevator I looked down at it and just lost it. I completely broke down. It was a little embarassing. I'm sure everyone in there thought I was crazy. I'll post more as we know more. At the moment our biggest focus is keeping her fevers down.

Well if I knew where my camera batteries were I'd post some pictures! Hopefully in the next couple days.
We've been pretty busy thus far. We're almost totally done with the house. We just have a few minor things and then the family room. Maybe someday we'll put carpet out there! We have yet to buy a lawnmower! We're po! Bella's room is the cutest! I painted pink and white stripes on one wall and distressed them. The other walls are pink. We're going to put tile down on the kitchen floor this week.

Other than that we've been enjoying summer with the exception of last week or so we've all been sick! I started to feel better by last night ad we decided to go to boulangerie Saint Honore in the pearl for Jour de Bastille! (France's independence day) With Zac and Courtney. It was so yummy! I had a croque Monsieur and a Saint Honore patisserie. It was a good time! What else....For the 4th of July we had a bbq at our house with some friends it was fun! We lit huge fireworks and went to bed by 10:30...we're geezers! I learned how to make Rasberry, Strawberry and Blueberry Citrus Marmelade last week. I felt pretty cool. That's one more "Domestic Diva" star to add to my list. (There are only three mind you. Joe is more domestic than I am) Yeah that about sums it up!
We're going to the beach with Joe's family in a couple weeks. It's a sweet beach house! I'm pretty stoked! We weren't thinking when we were planning and the beach trip just so happens to fall on our wedding anniversary! So, we're going to go horseback riding on the beach at sunset and get dinner somewhere and then go back and hang with the fam! Yahoo! Let's just say it will probably be a pretty wholesome night since we share the same room with Joe's brother and sister! :) Go us!
Living in Salmon Creek isn't so bad! (I feel like I live 10,000 miles away from everyone)We really like the area. It's a quiet little neigborhood. Mostly old people. Our ward is so tiny! It's weird! There are only three young couples. We are one of the three! I feel a little lonely out here somedays! :( I've never been really good at being the new girl! I was much better at it in college!
Oh well! It will get better!

We're alive...well mostly!

We're moved-in! Whoo-hoo! Unpacked is an entrely different story. We have so much to do! It's been an absolutely crazy week! I had to rush B to the Dr's yesterday because she had a high fever. Turns out she has another kidney infecton. She had another fever today. She had o get two shots of high powered antibiotics. The good part of all of this is that we don't have to go to Doernbecher's. Phew!!!! I was a hysterical mess this morning when the nurse told me to take her there....10 minites later she called me back and said she'd be fine with another shot. We're waiting for the urologist to give us a call. I'm curious to see if he'll want to bump her surgery up.

On a good note...Bella said "Mama"!!! it was the best feeling in the world and...drum-roll please...she can crawl! Apparently she didn't quite understand when I pomised her anything she wanted as long as she waited to start crawling until after we got unpacked!

I'll get pictures up...well...as soon as I find my camera!

Pardon my French...but this Sucks!

Soooooo....
we should be at the title company signing and then going to our house...
Well, the loan co. waited until the last minute to get some pertinent info from us and now we don't know when we get to close. The other really crappy thing is the seller was supposed to refinish the hardwood floors, when we got to the walk through last night...we found out she didn't! She wrote us a check and we're going to do it. That would've been fine since we thought we were closing today. We have to be out of our place by the 25th! We would've had thurs, fri, sat, mon and tues to: paint every room in the house, refinish the floors, put in new carpet, reface the cabinets and replace the kitchen floors. Well, now we have 1/2 of Monday and tues. if we're lucky. I have to do ALL of this ALL BY MYSELF now in 1 1/2 days!!!!!!!!! Joe has to work those days. His dad took this week off and was going to help us. I am so completely frustrated right now! I still have to pack our entire apt., clean, oh yeah did I mention take care of a baby?! OF course the day that I really need to pack and clean...Bella refuses to take a nap! I'm taking dinner to a family in our ward who's wife just passed away and then I have 2 students from 5-6:30! I need a clone! I appreciate how hard Joe works and how well he's doing in school. Sometimes I wish he had a different job and no school! I feel like a single parent/homebuyer whatever you want to call it. I feel bad asking him to help because he's so tired all the time.

Well, anyway, I feel somewhat better...no not really...oh well!
