Little D in the Big D

Just a few pics of us in the Big D this week, its gone by way to fast and we dont want to go back to Kentucky.....but thursday we are heading back. BTW Dreycin did so good on the direct flight to Dallas from Louisville, slept the entire time. He has really been a trooper being toted here and there while home. my favorite pics are the easter one and Dreycin standing up at Abuelo's with his uncle mark.

Awesome days.....

Yesterday I went to the gym, went and got my haircut, and then went with my mom to get some bubble tea. For those of you who have not had bubble tea, its the Asian culture version of starbucks and super YUMMYY!!! So far at VT's bubble cup I have tried the lavender and taro bubble teas, a friend of mine got an avocado milkshake that was reallllllly yummy too! Today I started off with giving Dreycin a bath, then we went to my acupuncture appointment. We decided to call Daddy and see if he wanted to meet us at Cherokee park to walk the trail after we got done at B'R Us. It was a beautiful day outside and not only did I get to spend it with my two loves, but got my 45min of cardio for the day! I finished up tonight with a pedicure, because Im looking so forward to wearing sandals in TEXAS!!!

Here's some pics, my favorite is Dreycin in the FRESH NATURAL MILK onesie from Baby Gap!

March is national Social Worker's month.....thank 1

I went to an AWESOME social work ethics conference put on by Spalding university. Norton's in honor of National Social Worker's Month put this on for all the social worker's system wide. It reminded me of why I do what I do and why I follow the code of ethics of social work.

Take a minute, read our code of ethics.....just kidding its pretty long but no really it is the way we live in our professional and personal life, its the commitment someone makes when they become a social worker.

St patty's day & 1st time eating cereal!!!!

Here are some pics of my beautiful precious boy on st patty's day (the day of his 4month checkup) and his 1st time eating cereal. We made it really thin the first few days, and then today we made it pretty thick and he did really good! The last two pics are from our walk we went on tonight!

4mos well baby visit

Here's a picture of chunky little monkey!
So my baby boy is 18 lbs 4.5oz and 27inches long, which puts him in the 95% percentile. He was a TROOPER and I was smart enough to bring a bottle of breastmilk and popped that sucker in when he got the shots, and he didnt realize what had happened until the end and started wailing just for a minute. I picked him up and right away was comforted, we sat down and finished the 2oz's i had brought.

Antibiotics for NO reason

So as of last week I found out that I had taken 3 rounds of antibiotics for no reason, it all goes back to me having lupus and my normal not being everyone else's normal! So i initially had gone to the doctor for an awful pain in my right side when i would go to the bathroom and when i worked out. So my primary doctor kept sending out culture's of my urinalysis that showed moderate to severe bacteria, and then it would come back normal. They were puzzled as to why and referred me out to a urologist last week. After consulting with him and my lupus doctor they informed me that my body was spilling white blood cells in my urine, why we dont know? but its called pyuria and is often found in patients with SLE, the type of lupus i have. so im normal, well my normal! the pain in my side could have been related to a muscle tear or pleurisy something that also happnes to lupus patients. the story of my life...how exciting!
today derek and I are both off and we are going SHOPPING!!!! OHHH and an update on our weight loss, derek loses 8lbs, i lose 2lbs! woo hoo at least it is something!
