I'm Ready!

Well I had pictures of him in his tux for my sisters wedding... but can't find them. Sorry! I'll post more once I can find the stupid things! UGH! Gotta love computers!

Rylan is ONE!

Guest post by Andrea's big sister....(I was tired of seeing the Merry Christmas as the blog header...when Easter is already over:) and I was responsible for putting it up:))
JAR's have been busy hosting a bday party for their little guy, switching day cares, and feeling like newly weds while Grandma Carlece had a camp Boys in Hebron last week. Here are few pics of the big bday party courtesy of Gpa Pat.

Count Down

Well the count down is on... only 4 more days until our little man is 1!!!!! I can not believe it. Where does the time go? We also have another count down for those freakin' teeth to show up so we don't have to stay home any longer for high temps. YES, those are back! He had a pretty good temp running all afternoon but this morning he was playing and you would have never known he was sick. I don't get it and when will it stop. I talked to Mr. Rylan tonight and said that all of his teeth will be coming in all at once because I can't take it any longer. So, we will keep you posted if we have a Birthday celebration or not!
Have a great evening and I am hoping Rylan, Mommy & Daddy have a restful evening!
Good Night!

It's back!

I have a new/old cell now. It's Jeremy's old one. I'm fine with it... it's different but it works and is in one piece. :)
Rylan had some blood work done today. Right before the appointment he has these little dots on his face and that was almost perfect timing because that was good stuff for the Dr. (which we absolutely love and so does Rylan) Rylan has/had a horrible VIRAL infection and there is nothing you can do about it besides sinkin' letting it run it's course. So, he is doing better... more on that tomorrow.
I'm exhausted so I will go more in depth tomorrow AND I will get the other blood work back tomorrow so more on it tomorrow (hopefully)

Life without a Cell Phone

Okay, so I am without a cell phone. I can't really explain how I feel. Part of me feels a little 'FREE' a part of me feels a little LOST and another part of me feels like maybe I should just save money and not have a cell then the last part of me feels like a complete idiot!
I feel like a complete idiot because it should have never come down to my phone busting and me without a phone. This is the story. Probably about a month (okay maybe longer)ago my phone broke... I flipped it open and one of the sides busted... so it is/well now was hanging by just one side. I dealt with it just fine and it was my punishment to myself that I should not get another phone because it was nice and I can't take care of it so why get something nice again? I didn't need it. So, I just dealt with it. Well today I got an email at work that asked if I could play volleyball TONIGHT! I went thru many channels to get someone to watch Rylan (THANK YOU SO MUCH GREAT AUNT KENDRA!) so I got my Aunt Kendra to watch him. We HAD to leave at 5:30 to make it ontime so when time was getting closer to 5 I got my things together and I popped out of my desk and my phone flies on the floor! I crindge and then see that the poor phone is lying on the ground in TWO pieces. I was instantly ticked at myself. Sally a gal at work said well can you put it together. Okay, I instantly laugh and say nope it's dead. She said just TRY to put it back together... nope not going to happen. I thought it was funny I knew it was dead but she just kept saying just put it back together and try to turn it on. I guess it's not like putting your battery back on and then it working... not this time! DARN IT! So, long story even longer... if you are trying to reach me... don't I will not be answering my phone for a couple of days. I'm not sure when I am going to get to the sprint store to program Jeremy's old phone to my 'stuff' so try calling him or I guess emailing me. I know I am a big pain in your BUTT!

Other than that we had a GREAT night. Rylan did well watching Mommy play volleyball. He only tried to crawl out onto the court just once. :) I felt like a proud little Mommy! By the way, I don't think I even played too bad. I had a few airhead mistakes but all in all it wasn't as bad as I had thought. I EVEN HAD ONE ACE! Yes, I spiked the ball in the front row and it made it over!!!!!!!!... AND made a point! Don't act like you aren't impressed. I had a great time. Thank you Becca for asking and thank you Kendra for watching Rylan!
Have a great evening everyone! If I don't talk to you in a few days it's probably because tomorrow I will be so sore I won't even be able to get out of bed. :) I didn't hurt myself... well at least tonight I don't feel like I did. :) I had a blast so THANK YOU!
Good Night!

When are the temps going to go away?

Well last night was another long night... this time Jeremy stayed up with him. I got up at 4 and took over but Jeremy laid with Rylan for a good 4 hours.... with temps. I think a little more mild but still they were above normal. 100-101. So, how long is it going to be that he wakes up around 11 & 12 and gets temps? Hoopefully tonight he rests peacefully and so can we. I just keep worrying that he isn't going to wake up and let us know if he is burning up. So, I don't sleep well. I guess that is all for now. He is somewhat eating but not a whole lot. Thanks to my Mom making enough tuna and noodles for the week because that is all Rylan wants to eat. :) He is drinking here and there but usually just milk.
Keep prayin' for this little guy! You know when he isn't feeling well when he just lays on your chest. Poor guy!
Happy Sunday! I hope you were able to get out and enjoy this BEAUTIFUL weather!

Sick baby boy!

Okay, it now has been 4 days of this nasty stuff and I feel like a run down Mommy with no more patients. I was up all night making sure the temps didn't pass the 102.00 mark on the thermometer... which meant it really was 103. Funny part about it was I was up with Rylan at 11:30. About 12:15 I finally go into Jeremy after I tried giving Rylan a bath, cool towels on his forhead and other spots of his body and his temp wasn't going down. I go in and say JEREMY I need your help. He rolls over and says "the journal entry is not going to be life or death of my son!" WHAT?! I said Jeremy I NEED YOU HELP! (more forceful this time but somewhat calming because I didn't want Rylan to get worked up!) I need you to wake up and take a bath with Rylan. He then got mad and rolled over again and said THE JOURNAL ENTRIES ARE NOT GOING to be the LIFE OR DEATH OF MY SON! Can you tell who is working TOO MUCH! Not much longer and we will have our Daddy/husband back! So, after that I gave up and just kept the thermomter close at hand and had a couple of washclothes to use. Rylan hated it but we managed to keep the temp in check... still too high for me to sleep.. but what else was I too do? I was inches away from taking him to Children's but I think my prayers where answered because then the temp came down. Still NOT gone but down. I have a call into the doctor's office but still no call back. YEAH, that was OVER an hour ago! I'm frustrated, tired, and just annoyed that this temp keeps coming back. I hate giving him so much motrin and tylenol if it only works for a couple of hours. I am frustrated and I understand the flu shot only works with certain strans but COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!! How much is too much? How long do you just let it run it's course? WHAT DO I DO? Oh, did I tell you that he won't sleep too much on his own? I thought this morning he was better... he was perky, laughing at Jeremy, and then about 15 minutes later he was clingy and only wanted Mommy! I fed him some banana's and am TRYING to get him to drink as much water as possible... but that is a process! Any suggestions?!
Enjoy the weather!
