Rainy Day

Today is a gloomy, rainy, BLAH day.  So I made some soup for dinner Mexican Corn and Bean Soup.  It smells yummy!  I also added in some carrots and used homemade canned tomatoes with some peppers in them.  Should be a delicious tummy warming soup, full of nutrients!

Soon to be BB (big brother) is sick.  He has a pretty bad ear infection, and due to him having tubes his ear is leaking gunk constantly.  We thought he was suffering from allergies, runny nose, itchy eyes.  He had no cough or fever.  But yesterday he came into the living room with his eye shut, and I asked him if it hurt and he said "no my ear" and it was gunky and runny...not pretty.  We went straight to the doctor's office and they gave him a strong antibiotic.  Thank God they didn't try giving us drops...those wouldn't have gone well.  BB has noticed that the medicine in America is "yummy".  They definitely help a mommy give her kid the medicines he needs by making them fruit flavored.  In Mexico they smell like fruit and bubble gum but taste like pure chemical.

With BB being sick he has passed a little bit of that on to Papa and I.  Both of us woke up this morning with a little sore throat.  And we are really hoping now that this baby stays in until we are over whatever may be attacking us.

Speaking of baby, we put up the crib on Tuesday and BB bought him or her some gowns.  "Gween ones".  Baby swing is washed and sheets are on the crib.  We also bought a car seat and some baby *infant* wipes...still going to wait on diapers until we see how well the baby takes to certain brands.

Still need to get the camera charged up soon though!  I'm procrastinating on that pretty bad!
