Were Sick Of Being Sick

So I haven't posted in a while. I don't even have a great reason why I haven't. So lots of posts in one, typical me. Ryder is now 8 months old. Today at the Dr. he weighed 20lbs. 12ozs. and is 29 inches long. He's finally comfortable sleeping on his stomach (he has always hated tummy time so this is huge for us). He has started eating more finger foods. Even though he has no teeth he gums avocado, beans, and rice. He had Wahoo's the other day with mommy and really enjoyed it. We've also started him on meats which he really seems to enjoy. I cant think of any food he doesn't enjoy, but I'm sure that will change. He now dances when we tell him dance, dance or when he hears music. He is also saying mama and baba but he isn't putting it together that I'm mama. He just says it when he feels like it.

Dancing, he rocks back and forth with his arms up.

Two weeks ago I was really sick with nausea and vomiting. I didn't have body aches, fever or any flu symptoms. I was convinced I was pregnant. I took 2 tests that were negative and I was sure they were wrong. We had gone to the mountains with some friends for the night and to snowboard. The conditions were incredible. More snow in Big Bear than I had ever seen. I threw up twice that morning and after an hour of boarding had to call it a day. I went to the Dr. when I got home. They think it's my gallbladder and acid reflux, so I had an ultrasound and haven't gotten the results yet. Since I've had Ryder my body is falling apart.
The gorgeous conditions I missed out on.


Now Ryder is sick and has been for a week. I caught it last Thursday, was feeling better by Friday. So Danny and I went back to the mountains with some other friends for boarding. It was a beautiful 50' day, definitely spring conditions. We could of worn short selves it was so comfortable. We had a great day. On the way home from the mountain I fell asleep, when I woke my ears were plugged. And they have been for 2 days now. My cold is definitely back . Ryder and I went to the Dr. today. He has bronchitis and puss in the back of his throat, I have a double ear infection with almost no hearing in either ear, swollen glands, and a congestion. So we both got meds and hopefully will feel better soon. We rented a chick flick got some soup and are on the couch all day. Thankfully Danny has such a great immune system and takes great care of us. And thank you mom for taking Ryder overnight when he was so sick, and sorry you didn't get any sleep.

Oh how miserable! I hear ya though. We have been sick here too. Between Genny and Jake and the girls, Noah and me, Erika and Drew, we have passed just about everything between us! Like Danny, Greg is hearty and never gets it! But I am hoping we are done!
Feel better soon.
Ryder is adorable!
