A journey through the wild ride of being a first time mother

You can read every book on the shelf about being a parent and what to expect with your new baby, but the only true preparation is experiencing it first hand.

Guess What?!?!?

In her "snack cup" is crunch berries, she has already shown some signs of OCD she has to pick out all the berries before she eats any of the cereal

 This sweet little gem of a child has some how contracted a staph infection in her leg. It started about a week ago and i noticed a little lump on her leg and she didn't really like it being messed with so i just left it alone figuring it would go away. A couple days later it was as big as a quarter and red. So I took her in to the doctor on Tuesday and she informed me it was a staph infection and put her on antibiotics. Later that afternoon stuff started oozing out of it which is good for healing but just plain disgusting. 

We have had enough staph infections between the 3 of us and my brother to last a lifetime it seems. I randomly got a couple that had to be lanced open (which hurt so bad i would compare it to having a baby) and then a month later got a couple more that also had to be lanced open, it was not fun. After a month long stint on antibiotics i (knock on wood) haven't got anymore. My brother got a couple while he was away in GA for basic training and since then has gotten several more. Jason got one in his hand and it got so bad he had to take several trips to the ER and had to have stuff cut out of his finger and then had to go see a hand specialist. He now has another one which isn't super bad but he is taking antibiotics for it.

I have no idea what is causing any of this or why we keep getting them. But i can only imagine how bad it must hurt Kendall. They are extremely painful for an adult i can only imagine how it would feel for a toddler. So since she has an infection and is on antibiotics her surgery is once again rescheduled.

Lastly, I couldn't help but show this picture again. She loves her daddy and since i have started Zumba again they are getting a lot of quality daddy/daughter time. He takes her out to dinner or to go watch football and they really have a good time together. Plus it helps that she actually listens to him unlike for whenever i tell her something she just ignores me. We definitely know who her favorite is :)
