Beautiful Day

It is supposed to be in the mid 60s today and I am so excited.  I think Samuel and I are going to go for a walk and play out on the deck all day.  Samuel is barely coughing and he is sleeping great, so I think his cold is almost gone.  

I had my HSG yesterday and it went really well.  Neither one of my fallopian tubes are blocked which is such a relief.  Two years ago my right tube was completely blocked and I had to have a few more procedures to unblock it.  I am relieved.  

Now I just need to concentrate on getting ready for our trip.  We leave in one week from Friday.  I have lots to do.  

Yesterday Samuel and I hung out on the deck and I brought a broom out because I wanted to sweep off all the saw dust.  I didn't really get to do it myself because Samuel wanted to do it.  

New Deck

Our new deck is completely finished.  We bought a few chairs last night and ordered a patio set yesterday.  I hope we get it soon because I can't wait to hang out on our deck.  

Last night we went out on our deck and we didn't have any clothes downstairs for Samuel so we put one of my sweatshirts on him.  He loved it.  When we came back inside he didn't want to take it off.  I took a few pictures.  

Sickness again

I feel like we never get a break.  Samuel has a cold again.  He has a mild case of croup cough.  He has a runny nose and isn't in the best mood.  Yesterday he barely slept during the day and was very tired last night.  He slept from about 7:15 pm until 7:50 am.  It was the longest he has ever slept and it was wonderful.  He bottom two molar teeth are coming in.  The top two are in already.  

I have a bit of a cough and a runny nose as well.  I need to get healthy soon.  

Today Samuel decided that he wanted to take George for a walk.  

This weekend we were heading out for a birthday party and Samuel was screaming the entire time.  Dave and I couldn't handle the screaming so we popped in a movie and he was so happy.  Take a look:

This was a fun game that Samuel and Dave were playing.  This kept Samuel entertained for a while.  

Morning Ride

Every morning Samuel gets on his Lil' Kawasaki and rides it across the living room.  It is like he has to take his morning ride.  I grabbed the video camera a little late, but it is kind of funny to see him ride.  

We are heading to the doctor today because Samuel is coughing like crazy.  He was up pretty much all night coughing.  We brought him into bed with us because we could tell he wasn't feeling well at all.  He would wake up coughing and then grab on to me.  Most of the night he slept on the pillow next to me with his head touching my head or he would roll over and sleep right next to Dave.  It wasn't the most comfortable sleep, but at least I didn't have to hear Samuel crying all night.  

We were playing with the video camera last weekend in the car and I got Samuel laughing on tape.  It was pretty funny.

Happy It is Only Saturday

I woke up this morning and I was so depressed because I thought it was Monday morning.  Since Dave worked half day on Thursday and then had Friday off, it felt like today could be Monday.  Thank goodness.  I am so happy we have two more days for the weekend.  

We are getting a bigger and better deck put on the back of our house and they are working today because they got rained out twice this past week.  The deck so far looks awesome.  I can't wait to actually use it.  I think Samuel and I will be out on the deck a lot.  I will post pictures when they are done. 

Ever since I stopped breastfeeding last Wednesday, I have been having terrible headaches everyday.  I have to take Advil in the morning and in the afternoon because my head hurts so badly.  I also broke out all over my face.  Ok, so it isn't really all over my face, but a little on my forehead and chin.  I never break out, so I can barely stand it.    I have been feeling really dizzy and nauseous for over a week now.  I don't know what is going on.  I know I am not pregnant, so I am not worried about that, but I feel terrible.  I think it is because my hormones are going crazy since I stopped breastfeeding.  Anyone else have this issue? 

I am going to have a procedure done this coming Wednesday called a Hysterosalpingogram.  They are going to make sure my fallopian tubes are open.  I have been having very painful ovulation and terrible pain on my right side.  I had an ultrasound done and they aren't sure if I have an ovarian cyst or what.  Anyway, all this stuff needs to be done before our trip to Europe.  It is a little stressful, not to mention that I need to start thinking about what I am going to bring on our trip.  

Oh well, I am not doing anything today.  I am just going to enjoy my Saturday.  

Pictures

My mom says that I haven't posted pictures in a while so here are some from March and April.

Here he is today.  You can see a little Mazto crumb on his face.  He loves the Mazto.  NOt sure if he is a true Jew, eating matzo and wearing a fighting irish shirt.  That is in honor of upcoming Easter.  By the way, Happy Passover!

Here he is destroying the kleenex box:
