Sick Baby

Kaetana is sick, and it's so so sad!

She's been feeling pretty crappy the past couple of days (I imagine, from her behavior) and I was starting to feel like she might be getting a wee little cold. Then her eye got super gunky and disgusting. Then she got a cough. And started eating less. And, and, and.

So we took her to the pediatrician (they must hate me by now) to get her checked out and lo and behold, she has a cold. And an eye infection. And thrush.

Poor thing!

So now I am here with this poor, sad, sick little baby and I've got like 3 different medicines to give her 4 times a day for the next week. Here's hoping she's all better by then! Especially since I had to cancel her photo appointment that was scheduled for tomorrow. I'm hoping to be able to get them done next week, because they're supposed to be her 1 Month thing.

Which, by the way, she'll be on THURSDAY. Someone please explain to me where the last month has gone, because I am amazed at how fast it's flown by.

Well, I hope everyone is having a lovely day. I'll leave you with a photo of Kaetana from a little while ago when she passed out. (Thank God.)

I'll be back in a bit for my Mommy thing post. ♥

Photoshoot!

It was always my big plan to take Kaetana's newborn photos myself, and I was super excited to do them. I researched for months online about techniques that would help me out, the best poses and how to get them, ect. ect. Unfortunately, I didn't bank on having a c-section and not being able to move like a normal person until 3 weeks postpartum. Because I had to wait so long to take her photos, I missed out on the opportunity to do a lot of the really cute newborn poses and standard shots you see. I tried, believe me, but she's past that floppy newborn stage already and resisted everything I tried. Even with her being heavily asleep! (for most of it.)

Day Six

How, Where, When, Who, Reaction, Why - When you found out you were expecting:

Hmm. Okay well I found out I was pregnant in mid-March last year at a doctor's appointment. I had gone to get my birth control switched because I felt off and didn't want to take any changes (so much for that.) They said that because I was there for a birth control evaluation and change, it was routine to give a pregnancy test. I laughed at them and said go ahead.

I was by myself at the doctor, and had left work for a while to go. John worked with me at the time, so after finding out I immediately called him to let him know. He was funny because after I told him, he was very quiet for a few minutes then all he said was, "I love you." It was sweet. I had a pretty bad panic attack at the office, though, and had to have my best friend (at the time) come get dropped off to meet me because I couldn't handle it by myself! I completely freaked out! It definitely was not in my mind at all that I would be pregnant, even though looking back that's pretty dumb because of the symptoms I had. It was probably pretty obvious.

We drove back to my work, and I talked to John and my bosses and John's friend showed up too. It was nice to have all those people there supporting us. We ended up leaving work early and going to tell my family. Then we told his mom, and the rest is kinda history.

Day Five

A picture of you pregnant:

 

I don't have any full photos of me that far in to my pregnancy, so I figured I'd put this one -- it was taken 5 days before I had Kaetana. ♥
