Here she is.

More changes...

Sadie is doing much better, she goes back to Dr. Rosi tomorrow for her check up. She seems to feel much better. She is hardly coughing anymore and hr nose is almost dried up! Adam is doing much better too. He still has a cough and headaches, but he says he feels much better. I, of course am sick now. It feels like this cycle is never going to end! Mine seemed to just be allergies/sinus stuff. My eyes are watery, I am congested in my head but now it is going to my chest. Hopefully I'll be feeling better soon because we have a big weekend ahead of us! We are moving! Sounds exciting? Well, we're only moving to another apartment in the same community! We live in a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom. It's been okay for a while (we've been here a year now). But, with Adam in school and Sadie getting bigger we just need more space. We are moving to a 3/2. Adam will have an office, Sadie will have her room and Adam and I will have the Master bedroom to just us now (it has been doubling as Adam's office). I am really excited to be getting a bigger apartment. It's on the third floor (no, we're not crazy). Actually, it'll be nice because we won't have anyone above us and we get vaulted ceilings. I have started packing stuff up. I have done half of Sadie's room, all of our books (about 25 boxes), our DVD's and some of our "nick-nack" decorative stuff. Adam works days tomorrow so if I'm up for it, we will move some of the stuff over there tomorrow evening. He brought me boxes from his job but I have already packed them all full! He'll be bringing more tonight. Moving is such a hassle, but I am so excited and once it's all done it'll be great! Anyhow, enjoy the pics of Sadie. Loves.


Today's Kabbalah:

Many times we want to give conditionally and yet expect others to give us unconditionally. The universe doesn't work that way. When we calculate our sharing, we end up with people who do the same to us.Find one way your sharing is limited. Let go of your expectations and just give. That's how you can attract more unconditional people into your life.

Poor sick Sadie

So, Sadie has had a cough and "cold" for several weeks now. We have been doing everything Dr. Rosi told us to. Lift the head of her bed up, humidifier in her room, nasal saline. Nothing has really seemed to help. On top of it all she has been having trouble with constipation. We finally were able to get into to see Dr. Rosi today. I had to work but Adam closes tonight so he took her. Well...Sadie has bronchitis, an ear infection and pink eye! I told Adam DCF will probably be knocking at our door soon! Dr. Rosi said Sadie couldn't go to school the rest of today or tomorrow. I had to leave work early because Adam couldn't get off of work. Luckily I'm already off tomorrow. Sadie is now on amoxicillin (for her ears), py...something (for her eyes) and she has to take albuterol through a nebulizer every 4 hours (for her lungs). I feel so terrible for her. Also, Dr. Rosi said we can giver her half a cap of miralax for constipation, since prunes don't seem to work. She will go back in a week for a recheck. Adam says she weighs 13.75 pounds, almost 14!!! At first she didn't mind the nebulizer treatments, now when she has to do it, she screams. The good thing about that is that she's inhaling lots of good medicine! Tomorrow I'm off so I'll be able to be with her. Other than that craziness, everything with us is good. Adam has a cold again. I feel bad for him too. He needs to rest but he is only 1 of 2 key holders. He has to be at work.Tomorrow Adam's brother Ross and his girlfriend Carolina are supposed to come over for dinner. I hope Sadie will get lots of good rest and be ready for a couple of visitors! Well, Sadie is all bundled and sleeping in her nice warm, cozy crib so I'm going to go relax! Loves.

Today's Kabbalah:

When something triggers a reaction within you, it's almost impossible not to react. Simply telling you not to react is not always enough motivation. But thinking about cause and effect usually does the trick.Today, when you are about to indulge in some reactive behavior, think about how you will feel five minutes, five days, or five months down the road. Learn to see the future in the present moment, and you will have the impetus you need to change your behavior here and now.

Friday and Saturday

Oh, St. Valentine...

Well, I actually have fun stuff to blog about! Friday night we went to see Less than Jake at the Venue with Kristin and Benny. We all had so much fun. There were 2 other bands before LTJ. I can't remember their names. The first one was really good, the 2nd was okay, all their songs sounded similar. LTJ was awesome...as usual. I bounced and sang and had a great time. We didn't get home until after 1 am. Sadie stayed at my Mom's house Friday night. My mom said she was fine, up a few times at night. Yesterday we went out to Williston ad picked Sadie up, then we ran errands and watched movies. It was good, for a rainy day. Today we cleaned house and just hung out. We had lunch with Adam's mom and brother Henry at Perkins. After that we went to Macy's. They were having big sales at the mall and there were some outfits for Sadie I wanted (since they were on sale!). I got her some really cute stuff. Sadie was really sleepy, so we went home after that. She was up several times last night. She was coughing a lot too. We thought maybe her gums were bothering her so we gave her a half dose of Tylenol but she still woke up a few times after that. I was wracking my brain trying to figure out what she needed. She wasn't wet, hungry and her gums weren't bothering her. She didn't have a fever so... Today she has been pretty fussy too. Then, it occurred to me that last week I started using regular milk in my cereal again (as opposed to soy). I am now wondering if that may be the problem. I had been thinking she was over that by now, but now I'm not so sure. I got more soy milk at the store tonight. I'll start using that again and see if she seems to feel better in the next few days. I hope so. I feel so bad for her. Adam closes tomorrow night so he is going to call Dr. Rosi tomorrow about her cough, it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Now, she'll be coughing for a while ad then she'll almost gag. She's done it a couple of times now. It tears my heart up. I hope that she gets over her cough soon. Anyhow, it's back to work for both of us tomorrow. Sadie's daycare is closed for president's day, so she will stay at Adam's parents' house in the afternoon until I get off work. Hopefully she'll get better sleep tonight. Sleep well everyone. Loves.


Daily Kabbalah:

Jealousy is a happiness destroyer. Our own. It softens our focus on what we have. And lack of appreciation is synonymous with lack of happiness.Walk into your life today as if it were the first time. Look around yourself. What do you love about what you see?

Ch ch ch changes...

I dyed my hair tonight! It's way more red-ish than what I wanted but, it'll wash out. I like it, something different. Not much to report today. Another day of work for us and school for Sadie. Adam took some cute pics of her this morning. enjoy!


Daily Kabbalah:


Spiritual revelation can come as a flash – it shows itself, you get it, and then it disappears. That’s why it’s so important to act now, not later. Later the clarity or truth might be fuzzy. Today, the moment you glimpse the truth of what you need to do, act on it. Immediately. Don’t wait or it might disappear. If you think to call a friend you haven’t thought about in years, call her. If you want to change something, change NOW. Use the glimpse!


Loves.

One more thing...

I Love my hubby!!!

Just another day

Nothing too exciting to report, just the usual, work and hanging out with miss Sadie. She went to "school" this afternoon. Picked her up and she was all smiles. Adam is at work, I spoke with him earlier and he said that work was good. Valentines is this weekend and it's looking like rain. No canoe trip I suppose. Maybe we'll go to the rock gym. I got the tickets for the Less than Jake show this Friday. I'm excited. I am already worried about Sadie sleeping at my Mom's. I know my mom will take good care of her, but this is the first planned night she'll be away and I am a little sad. It'll be good for Adam and I. I hope that she does okay. Hopefully it'll be harder on me than her!

Daily Kabbalah:

We're all human. We all get to moments where we don't feel like doing or caring. But we have to realize we are at war with our darkness. This can be one of the most dangerous weapons of the other side — to stop pushing.We must constantly grasp for our next level. Even when we're tired, don't have the energy, had a bad day — even then we must find the strength to inject energy and look within. Insecurity, hurt by others, whatever the excuse is to become lazy — if we're not alert to our enemy's moves, he knocks us down.Today, push back against your inner-gravity. Challenge yourself to do more than you usually do. Go the extra-EXTRA mile.

Little nuggets of truth

Not much to report today. We all had a good day (well, Adam is still at work). Sadie was all smiles & giggles when I picked her up from daycare. She ate a whole jar of pears and splashed in her bath tub. She was very ready to go to sleep this evening. Adam and I study Kabbalah, a friend of mine introduced me to it and Adam and I really enjoy the teachings and a lot of the beliefs. We get emails everyday with our daily kabbalah "teachings" which are always really relevant things to think about and apply to your life (which is why we study Kabbalah). I just wanted to share the one I received today. There is no particular reason I am posting this, I just want to share a piece of something that I care about and that Adam and I try to live by.

Monday, February 9

"When things just land in our lap without any effort, chances are it will soon fall out of our lap. Conversely, when we work hard at something and experience obstacles - when there is a process — then know that this is the spiritual process at play and what good comes of it will last.Today, allow space for the process. When you are ready to give up on something because it's not coming right away, resist your desire to throw in the towel. This restriction will let the Light in and actually speed up the process".

Sleep well. Loves

Relaxing Sunday

Sorry to everyone for my slacking on new posts. All three of us have had colds this past week so we've all been resting. Adam and I are both doing much better, Sadie is still snotty and coughing. She;s getting better too though. This weekend went by so fast. Saturday Adam worked, Sadie and I went down to Ocala and saw Mama and Papa (my maternal grandparents). We had a great time visiting. Sadie did really well in her car seat both ways. Today we saw my Dad and Carrie. We had a nice lunch and went hiking (well,walking) through Alfred Ring park. It was such a beautiful day so we decided we really needed to be outdoors. My Dad and Carrie live in the neighborhood adjacent to the park, so we all went together. This evening I've been working on laundry and we've all just been resting up for the week ahead. I'm off again next weekend (lucky me!) so I'll be working Monday to Friday this week. Friday night we are supposed to go see Less than Jake. They are a local ska band that I grew up listening to. My best friend Kristin and I used to go to all their shows, when we were in high school. She called me up this past week and told me that they'd be in town. So, Adam, Kristin her boyfriend Benny and I are going to go. I'm really looking forward to it. Saturday (valentines day) we may go to either the Gainesville rock gym and do some rock climbing or canoe. We're not sure yet. It'll depend on the weather. We decided to not do the whole dinner date thing and do something we would enjoy more!

Sadie is getting cuter by the day. I swear, just when I think I love her more than anything, I wake up and I love her even more! She is such a wonderful blessing in our lives. Hope y'all have a great week. I'll try and post more this week. Loves

Playing Sadie (and her new tub)

Sunday night

So, I apologize for not posting much the past few days. Not too much to report. I am feeling much better. My incisions are healing and I am not hurting as bad. I go back to work tomorrow. It'll be nice to be around people again! I will definitely miss all this great time I've had with Sadie. I have enjoyed every second I've had with her. Adam, Sadie and I are all having some allergy attack or small cold or something. Adam and I both have a sore throat and a little cough. Sadie also acts like she is felling a bit yucky. I'm sure it's related to the crazy weather changes. Also, I have a somewhat lowered immune system right now. We are all doing fine though. Sadie goes back to daycare tomorrow afternoon (Adam closes). I hope that she does okay. She's hasn't been there since the day I went to the ER. Anyhow. This has been a good weekend. Friday night I went to a baby shower for a girl that I work with (Sara). I had a lot of fun and it was neat to see all the cool stuff she got. She doesn't know what she's having so most of the stuff was neutral and that's always great. We tried to stick to neutral stuff for our big stuff (stroller, swing, car seat, pack and play) so if/when we have another child we won't have to worry about if it works for a boy or girl. Saturday we just relaxed and in the evening we took Sadie to her Bubbe's house and Adam and I went on a date! This is the first since my Bday (in July). We went to Harry's for dinner and the melting pot for dessert. I was really nervous about eating out since my body hasn't quite got the hang of me eating yet. I did okay though. I got salmon and steamed veggies so it was fine. We had chocolate fondue for dessert. I didn't eat much of that (a sin, I know). Today we've just been hanging out again. Adam got his hair cut and we went to publix. Well, I'm feeling pretty sleepy so I'll post this slide show and go to sleep! Loves
