Sick baby

Well, things have not gotten better since my last post. Sydney hasn't been throwing up anymore, but she's still coughing. I called the doctor yesterday morning & they wanted to see her. The doctor said her throat & ears were really red. Ryan and I are fairly certain that she got this bug at the doctor's office Tuesday, because she was fine up until that point. Quite frustrating! 

She looks like she's just miserable. Her eyes are red and watery. She coughs like someone who has been smoking all her life. It's just sad. I really think we have allergies going on in addition to the ears & throat thing. 

This weekend we are heading out-of-town. We're moving Nathan from one apartment to another in Nashville. I really hope that Sydney gets to feeling better so that she can enjoy the time visiting with family...we'll see. Prayers for my baby are welcomed! Thanks!

Update...longer than expected

So, I was told yesterday that it was time for an update....ERRRRR. I don't have much to say, but here goes.

Sydney's new bed hasn't had her sleeping a ton better, but we are! It is G-R-E-A-T!! We just climb in bed with her & go straight back to sleep. She'll roll over on her side & put herself back to sleep. When we wake up, we just head back to bed. I am such a nicer person these days! ;-)

Yesterday Sydney and I got up & headed to work with Ryan...well, sort of. Ryan was working in Nashville & knew he would have a short day. So, we went with him. He dropped us off at Rivergate Mall (because it was close to the store he was working in). When he picked us up & we headed to Opry Mills Mall! Whoohoo! Two malls in one day! How lucky can a girl get?!

After we were finished with the malls (funny that I actually got tired of being at a mall), he took me to see Nashville's Parthenon. It was really impressive. I never knew it was there until he told me! While we were out sightseeing, my brother called to say he was off work. Yay! We had coffee with the couple & then dinner with Nathan since the girl had to work. It was a good surprise to see her since we didn't think we would get to. :-)

I have to say that it was a little weird seeing them as a couple...not bad weird, just weird. We've been talking about it for weeks, but I haven't actually seen them together. Now it's real. Crazy!! My brother is growing up...cool & weird.

Anyway, back to the subject, while during dinner Ryan gets a call from the guy in Nashville that he's been working with. Ryan thought he would be in Louisville Thursday and Friday but found out that was wrong. He was going to be in McMinville on Thursday. For those of you like me who had never heard of this particular city, it is southeast of Nashville. He also found out that he would only be there for 45 minutes. That means a 3 1/2 hour drive one-way today for 45 min of work! Not cool! What did we decide to do? Leave dinner with Nathan, drive the 1 1/2 hours to get there, do the 45 minutes worth of work, then head home. We got in at 2 AM last night!!! But the good news...drum roll please...Ryan has today off. :o) Yay!

OK, so I said I didn't have much to say. This is a pretty long blog for someone who doesn't have much to say. Oh well...

We're back!

We left E-town Friday evening for Paducah, where we spent the Father's Day weekend. It was a fairly laid back weekend. We did a few things, but didn't feel the need to pack everything in one day. My dad and Ryan went to KY Dam to see the new bridge that is being built with a guy that is in charge of it. They both said it was really neat. Saturday night we went to Bob's Drive-In (YUM!) and then on to After Dinner downtown. Sunday we had a delicious meal made mostly by Gma. Nathan was in that day, too. :-)


We found out on Friday that Ryan would be working Monday & Tuesday in Nashville. We thought about Sydney and me staying in Paducah while he worked Monday & Tuesday, but once we realized that he would be working in Louisville on Wednesday that idea was ruled out. BUT, when Nathan said he had Monday off plans changed. Although we had only packed enough clothes for the weekend, we decided to wash the clothes at Mom & Dad's and have all three of us go to Nashville Sunday night & stay in a hotel through today. Ryan worked on Monday while Sydney and I got to hang out with Uncle Nathan. It was a lot of fun. We went to Opry Mills since it was raining and most everything else could be rulled out. When the rain gave way in the afternoon we put our newly purchased bathing suits on and went down to his pool! It was so great getting to hang out with Nathan. Although we only live 2 hours away from each other, it feels like we never get to see each other.



So, it is 6 o'clock on Tuesday night and we are just now getting in town. Quite a fun weekend!! Well...for Sydney & me anyway! ;-) Ryan got to have fun, too. He only worked until 2 on Monday & was done by 11 today!

I hope you all had a very happy Father's Day, too!
