Shopping, playing and doctors

We kept busy all last week and it went on through the weekend. One of the big neighborhoods in Cypress, Fairfield, had a community garage sale. I love garage sale-ing, so I was excited about it. Unfortunately, Shawn had to work, so my plan of leaving Max with him so I could be a weekend warrior at the garage sales failed. I almost didn't go, but I thought how bad could it be with a 14 month old?

So I made sure to pack snacks, drinks and the trustworthy paci. To my surprise he did great and we got lots of good deals on clothing, toys and toys. I didn't find a BOB dualie stroller like I had hoped, but I still have time for that one. They cost nearly $600, so I'm in the market for a used one. After that Max and I met up at Chick-fil-A with some old friends I know from Bryan. Max was still doing great and he enjoyed his chicken, fruit and some waffle fries (so did I!!)

After a nap we headed to a baby shower for the Bannahans. Luckily Shawn made it home by then since it was a couples shower. We had a good time catching up and giving our friends tips on having a little boy. Max had fun too! There were two other toddlers there and they had fun playing with balloons and playing at the park. Shawn conveniently took Max on many walks while we were there, I don't think baby showers are his thing.

Sunday, Max woke up with what seemed to be pink eye. I was able to make an appointment that morning to bring him in. The doctor cleaned his ears out(apparently he has narrow canals in his ears because they have to do that often) and checked for an ear infection. They looked clear and he only had a temp of 99. So we went home, he took a 3 hour nap, then woke up with a temp of 101!! He looked so weak and sad. I gave him some juice and crackers and tylenol and eventually he perked up a bit. We went outside later and I noticed that he had dried up blood in his left ear. I freaked out, got on the phone with several nurses and they assured me that it was normal after they clean them out. I still am not 100% convinced!! Needless to say Max is not getting better, he's been running a fever off and on since Sunday, so we are off to the doctor tomorrow.

Here is a picture from Monday. Sick, sad, but still a cutie patootie!

Suzy is also coming into town to help me out while I go to my 28 week appointment. I'm hoping Max gets to feeling better so we can have some fun. The crib is in for baby girl, so it looks like we'll be decorating a nursery soon!! I cannot wait. I also broke down and got a new camera. Either it is hidden somewhere or Max threw it in the garbage. Here is a video with the new camera. Oh, and notice how he calls the juice "zeus" -- TOO CUTE!
