1st Trip to North Alabama

This past weekend we packed up the house and went to Gadsden and Centre to visit the Grandfolks and everyone back home. Mary Margo had a great time and was a perfect angel considering all the people who held her and loved on her.

Abby is our friends Amy and Neil's little girl. She is waiting on her little sister Macy to get here in December. So she practiced her big sister skills with Mary Margo and she did GREAT!!



She also spent a lot of time with all her grandparents. This is a picture of her with her Granddaddy. I think she likes him and I KNOW he thinks she is pretty sweet too! He along with Dusty's Dad, Papa Joe, are what we call "baby hogs". This is where she spent most of her weekend in their arms.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween to All!

Mary Margo dressed up and took cupcakes up to the girls at HeartStrings.

I wasn't going to dress her up this year, seeing as, she can't eat the candy. And well, that only means Me and Dusty would have to eat it. I just thought I would save up my creative costume designs for next year. But Aunt Mandy bought her this little halloween outfit and then I found the hat that matched perfect!!! It is hard to tell but the hat lights up and is too cute! I think it is the perfect amount of costume for her first halloween.

Leisure Suit

Here I am in my PINK LEOPARD LEISURE SUIT!

It is so much fun dressing Mary Margo! She is now big enough to wear this sleeper and I love it! She is so cute! Of course, Dusty calls it her Leisure suit!

12 weeks off

12 weeks off and here is all I have to show......for sewing projects, anyway. I thought I would have a little more time to do some sewing while I was off but I haven't touched my machine until this week.

I can't take credit for this idea. One of the girls at work had one. Of course, I looked at it and said to myself...."I can do that!" So, here it is! I am taking orders for next football season because it is going to take me that long to make another one. : ) Babies really do take up alot of time. Hats off to stay at home mommies!!

2 Months and Counting

  

Mary Margo is now two months old! I can't believe it has gone so fast! Here are a few pictures of her accomplishments. She is smiling and cooing all the time now and we are working on tummy time and holding her head up and rolling over.

 

Sleeping Beauty

Our little tiger finally started sleeping through the night! We are so excited! This picture was taken Saturday night before the AU/LSU game. From this moment on Mary Margo has slept every night from around 10pm to around 4-6am. It is fabulous!

2 Nights in the Hospital

Poor baby has a fever! Tuesday night we noticed Mary Margo was not very playful and not acting herself. We checked her temp twice throughout the night and it went from 99 to 100.8. When I called the pediatricians office they said to take her into the ER. The nurse said that they do not play around with babies her age and a fever. Much to my surprise, babies are not suppose to have fevers this young. We followed Doctor's orders and ventured to the ER at 10pm. After 1 1/2 hour wait and lots of doubt about our decision to take our healthy child to the germie ER, we were seen and her temp was 102. At this point, I knew we did the right thing. To make a long story short, they poked and prodded on Mary Margo and we were admitted around 3am. She recieved some antibiotics through an IV and had to stay for 48 hours. They think it is a virus. So we are in what Dusty is calling "Lock Down" at the house until she gets her second set of shots at 8 weeks. Lucky for me, that is only two more weeks. For now, the fever has gone down and we are resting at home. I have to take her back to the clinic tomorrow to check all the test. She is feeling much better and is playing and smiling. We are so happy to see her back home and being herself.
