Only a few more days!

Only a few more days until I move! I am so tired of living out of a suitcase! I can't wait! It'll be so nice to feel organized again. Mason needs his crib again, as he's been sleeping in his playpen. He doesn't seem to mind though.
Mason's chest infection is coming along quite well. He has finished his antibiotics. He's quite happy. I am waiting for some teeth to appear though! I think very soon.
We had a nice visit in Maple Creek with his great-grandma last week. She was very sad to see us go. We had to come back earlier because of a appointment for his vaccinations this past Frday, then on Monday his 6 month check-up. He is coming along nicely, growing and developmentaly.
It has been so rainy the past week and a half...I am ready for a bit of sun. We are going to go for a nice walk on Thursday with all of our friends from our 'mommy' group. That's about all that is new here...............just taking things day by day................

Back at my dad's place.....

1 week to go until I move into my new place! I just came back from my grandma's house, which is one hour away from Medicine Hat. We had a pretty good time. My grandma was sad to see us go. I am glad I was there when I was because my grandma is a diabetic, and sometimes her sugar levels drop rapidly, leaving her unconscious or semi-conscious. (This did happen).
Mason was in the ER last week because I could hear a "rattle" in his chest. The doctor did x-rays and gave Mason a nebulizer (He hated it!!!) I was the "meanie" who had to hold it on his face, and he cried and cried. I felt so mean! But the wheeze in his chest improved after that. The docotor said he himself did not see problems with the x-ray, but would have the radiologist review it as well. He said to follow up with our family doctor the next day to check his breathing. The next day, an hour before our appointment with the doctor, the ER physician called me on my cell to say that Mason needed an antibiotic because the radiologist that reviewed his x-ray saw a shadow (the beginning of an infection in his chest). So our family doc put him on medication. (Penicillan) (How the heck do you spell it??!!) Anyhow the day we left to go to my grandma's (last Friday), Mason's bum became red. Well turns out he has a yeast infection..........I am assuming from the antibiotic. So off to get bum cream at the walk-in!!! Then, while visiting my grandma, Mason became constipated.........(weird for him). So off to the pharmacy we went to get stuff for that! (I have a feeling Mason's bum yeast infection won't go away until he's done his antibiotic. (Only 1 more day!!!) That's all that's new here for now!

Happy Mother's Day!

My first Mother's Day! It was okay, considering my situation.....(See previous entry). I went to lunch with my mom-in-law, and stepmom. I also went to visit my mom's gravesite. I sure wish she were here.
Yesterday was soooo hot outside, like about 29 Celcius. Today it is raining and cool.
Oh, in Mason's life: He is on solids. He seems to really like rice cereal, carrots and butternut squash. The funny thing is, is his poop is orangey when eats carrots, LOL! Plus it stains his bum orange a bit, LOL (Even when I have bum cream on him!) Sorry, but it is funny. Anyhow,, that's pretty much all that's new here. When I move into my new place, i'll be able to update this thing more often.
Later! (Gotta go watch the Medicine Hat Tigers kick butt!) GO TIGERS GO!!!!!
