Documentation Rules the Nation

Haven't posted in awhile so I SHALL! So here goes!

School is gettin pretty complicated. Sad to say that I am not going to be on President's list this time around = [. Believe me I am CRUSHED! Miss Layla Thomas is almost 5 months. actually this saturday she will be 5 months. HOLY COW...she's practically in college already she's gettin so big so fast! On april 1st I am going to start her on veggies! WOO. thats going to be pretty exciting. First carrots, green beans, peas, and then squash. then after she enjoys all of those we will slowly go to fruits. I don't want her to be picky like her mom (Its not good its not good at all! I can't even take a teeny tiny bite out of a piece of brocoli w/out gagging!) She is now able to roll from her back to her tummy! At first she was VERY slow at doing it but now as soon as you lay her on her back...you blink and she's already on her tummy. Her last dr. apt. she weighed 13 lbs. and 13 oz! In 2 weeks she has her check-up for her ears and then she has an ENDO. apt. So we will see how her medicine is doing for her. Hopefully they won't have to do anymore adjustments?!

(Oh and since I know YOU (you know who i'm talkin about) are going to read this let me just say one thing...

I get the feeling your embarassed b/c me and your son had a child w/out being married. well..true we did but we had a BEAUTIFUL baby girl. He is 19 years old now and can make decisions for himself. You gotta realize that he has a daughter and the choices he makes is for her. Yes, he is going to be staying every other weekend with me. Me and him and my mom already discussed that. Please let your son live his life w/out holding your hand. I understand you don't think it's right that he sleeps in the same house w/me since we're not married, but he wants to see what its like to wake up when his daughter wakes up. He wanted to experience what I experience and I let him. And NO I'm not going to marry him JUST because we have a child together. That is the wrong reason to get married. I need you and the rest of his family to please just stay out of the choices me and him make. FOR EXAMPLE, the money he gives me. His choice to give me that not mine! I even told him last friday he can give me how much he wants. His response? I'll never give you less that 70 but DEFFINATELY more than 70. And Layla's last name. Me and him discussed that WAAAY before Layla was even born. He said he wants Layla to have his last name but he understands my reasoning and he's okay with it. So ya'll should be okay with it too! Thank you!)

sorry for that brief interruption! anyways...gami stayed w/us this past weekend. It was pretty fun. He had fun w/Layla and Layla had fun w/him. She was pretty gassy and let him SMELL about it! = D

My poor Layla

Well...I had took Layla to the dr. for her 4 month shots. I mentioned that her ear is lookin a lil clogged with wax. To the point that I can't even see in her ear! (which is MEGA annoying!) So anyways...the Dr. checks in her ears and says, "I can't even see in her ear! I'm going to have to remove the wax." AND she does, AND Layla screams crazy loud. The dr. prescribes Ciprodex for her ears. Insert 4 drops BID (thats twice daily) in her (R) ear. Ok...I did...took her back to the dr. Monday (?) b/c now she has a nasty mucousy cough! The dr. checks her ears AGAIN and says "Not good baby girl! She has 2 ear infections now. I'm going to give her some antibiotics. She needs to take Amoxyl 3 ml BID (thats twice daily!!!) for 10 days." Ok...well first of all Layla showed NO signs whatsoever of her ear bothering her! She doesn't pull at her ears, wasn't ever and still isn't running fever, no fussing out of her norm.! The dr. said most likely she's had these ear infections from her Bronchiolitis! SAY WHAT NOW?! She was 2 months when she had that!!! The dr. also said Layla is a GREAT candidate for having to get tubes in her ears...especially since she's only 4 months old and having ear infections already!! = o! My poor poor Layla!

More Please

As you know, Layla started cereal on 3-2-09! And she LOVED it! She did so good I was suprised! I started feeding her and she kept MOST of it in her mouth, except when she kept turning her head to watch T.V. she would manage to get it on her cheeks. Eventually, though, she got tired of me feeding her and kinda took over the job. She wouldn't let go of the spoon so I had to let her feed herself. She did pretty good for a beginner. Got the spoon directly in her mouth and didn't miss on the way there.

The Big 4 (months that is!)

So Miss Layla is 4 Months old! Wow...I didn't think the 28th of every month could be so important! My baby girl is just gettin so biiiig! She FINALLY started laughing! Me and Mo'Mo have been tryin so hard to get her to laugh and I finally did it!! I'll have to post the video later though. Also, yesterday Layla had her 4 month check up. She is coming in at 13 pounds 9 ounces and 23.5 inches. Yup...she's my little worm from the Labryinth! HAHA! The Dr. checked her ear and noticed that she had a BAD waxy build up in her ear. I brought that to her attention because it happens to bug the crap outta me when I see a BIG chunk of wax in her ear and I can't get it out!! It drives me crazy! But the Dr. tried to get some of it out and said the wax was so gooey that it was actually tearing her skin while she was trying to get it out. She said when she looked in her ear she couldn't even see the eardrum it was so bad. = [! So she prescribed some ear drops. Cost me a whopping $102.58!! Holy cow...are you serious?! Yes, I'm serious...and it sucks. But hopefully this will clear up her ear infection. Layla is my little superbaby....she never ONCE let on that her ear was bothering her!! But, here recently she has been acting kinda fussy. For 2 days in a row I have had to put her to sleep instead of lay her in bed and her fall asleep on her own! UH OH! She also got her shots yesterday. She wasn't happy about that because she just got her ear played with. She was super fussy! Today....we get to start her on cereal! YAY! I will take some pictures and post them later.

As for me, school is still going pretty good. A new mod. has come and let me tell you...it's starting to get challenging!! This instructor is NOTHING like my other one. In fact, our last instructor completely babied us the whole time and did not let us attempt to fly from the bird nest (wow that was cheesy)! So I come into this new mod. expecting it to be a piece of cake and expecting to take short cuts like I did the last 2 mods. NO not happening! BUT, so far I have a 96.2 average! WATCH OUT PRESIDENTS LIST....SHREAI IS COMING YOUR WAY!!! I'm so proud of myself! My goal for this school year is to get president's list the whole school year until graduation. I think i can achieve that goal!!
