Cabin Fever

Well Emma has been sick for 5 days now and I am starting to get cabin fever! I have tried to pass the time by discovering more about my wonderful cricut machine, cricut design studio and I even bought a desk so I can have a dedicted place to scrapbook. But I am still longing to get in my car and just run errands. :)
Today I had a MRI on my head and tomorrow I have an EEG. (So I did get out for an hour)They are trying to figure out why my headaches are worse and about these tremors I have developed. I think it is all still linked to the recurrent viral infections I seem to be suffering from, but we'll see.
Tonight I have to stay up for most of the night for the EEG tomorrow which you are supposed to sleep through. We'll see how that goes, if I don't sleep in my own bed I don't know how I will sleep in the hospital. LOL! So it's back to the Cricut messageboards and blogs!

Birthday Princess

Emma turned 3 today!!!! And the poor little thing is suffering from her first bout of a stomach virus. She missed her school party today and has just been laying down watching cartoons. Her temperature keeps spiking and she hasn't eaten anything all day long. We feel so bad that she is sick on her birthday but am glad that we had the family over this weekend for a celebration. She had an awesome time with everyone, ate lots of cake, hit the pinata, played with her Tia and cousins and met her new baby cousin Lupe. She was definitely the birthday Princess on Saturday!

Here is a picture of her from Saturday playing with her new doll furniture

And here is a picture of her from today not feeling like celebrating Here's hoping to a better sleep night tonight for all of us!!!

Been a while....

Well so far I haven't been keeping up with this blogging. We have been super busy spending time with Nana and Pops before they go home and planning Emma's birthday surprises. Nana and Pops are on their way home today and all of us are sad to see them go.

Since our last post:

• Went to the SPI Kite Festival - next year we are going to picnic on the beach
• Celebrated our 7th Wedding Anniversary
• Spent the weekend in Austin while Carlos attended a conference. Emma loved the Austin Children's Museum!
• I had to wear a crazy three week heart monitor in the ongoing pursuit to find out what is ailing me. And had a reaction to the electrodes!
• Went to way too many doctors to count!
• Ordered a toy box and doll furniture to be built for Emma's Birthday surprise
• Bought Emma a "Big Girl" bedroom set and redid her room
• Went to the Harlingen Market Days
• Watched the Texas Citrus Fiesta Parade
• Enjoyed the South Texas sunshine
• Said goodbye to Nana and Pops on a rare South Texas rainy, cold day
