18 Pounder!!

Over this last weekend, we all got sick, starting with Savannah. Poor thing had a runny nose, then started coughing and sneezing by Saturday, then to top it all off, she got eye goopies in her left eye by Sunday evening!!! Poor thing, we had to keep wiping her nose and eyes and of course, she HATED it! She came to dread being put on the changing table, whereas it use to be one of her favorite spots. Though, she might be dreading it because she doesn't like to lay down much anymore, now that she can sit up and has a whole new perspective of the happenings around her. Plus, once we stand her up on the changing table, she is ALL smiles!!! It's as if the nose and eye cleaning never happened. Anyway, we were able to get in to see the doctor on Monday afternoon, of course by then, her eye goop in the one eye, had gotten better-go figure! The doctor had us get eye drops for her anyway, which we discovered were VERY EXPENSIVE!!! Aiyaiyaiy!!! So the point of my Blog Title, is that they weighed her and she's already 18 pounds!!!!! She'll be 7 month Aug 12th and she's already 18 pounds, WOW. I was surprised, cuz I had been thinking that she was around 16 pounds instead. Okay, back to my story, while we were at Wal-Mart getting the prescription, her right eye started to get goopy. It got way worse than her left eye did. At one point she couldn't even open her eye-poor thing. Her eye also got puffy a bit. I'm sure she hated it when we had to keep wiping at her eye and putting eyedrops in. So this week we've been pretty busy with taking care of Savannah, J and I getting a little sick and getting ready for our Road Trip. Oh Ya, the other thing we got going on is.............. we're taking a road trip to Texas-San Antonio. My sister invited us to ride with her and her gang, so we said, "Sure!" We almost weren't gonna go though when Vannah was sick, but she's over it now. So I've been frantically trying to do laundry, and pack and everything by last night. My sister wanted to pack up the rental van last night, so we had to get our stuff over to her then. Betcha you're wondering, "what is going on in San Antonio Texas?" that would interest us in going on a 14 hour road trip with a 6.5 month old baby. Well, my oldest niece (for those that don't know, or have forgotten-I have a niece that is only 3 yrs younger than me) Rika and her family moved out there,from here in AZ, last year. So we are going to pay a visit to her and her family all next week, starting with tonight.
