Letting the world know that Zach has starting playing basketball. For the last two days Zach and I have been hitting the court. He has made about 5 baskets each day, and is driblling really good. Don't get me wrong, he can't post me up and take me to the rack yet... give that about 10 yrs. When that day does comes he should except a hard foul and two free throws!! The video below is Zach in about 16 yrs, if he keeps me on as coach. I will keep you posted on his progress.-Travis

I was on you tube one day and put this into my fav. folder. It just never gets old!! This is my first time doing a video post hope it works.

Zach's shot's lead to ER visit

Well, even though Zach was so brave at the Dr. office on Thursday, Friday night I noticed that his whole upper arm was extremley swollen, red, hot to the touch and was solid as a rock. I gave him an extra shot just in case he had a muscle bleed and we iced it. The next morning it had gotten a little worse so I gave him another shot and called his Dr. in Las Vegas. He said it didn't sound like a muscle bleed it sounded more like an infection. Dr. B said he would either like to see him up there or take him to the local ER and let him know what was going on. It was pretty sad that when I called Dr. Bernstein he answered his phone saying "hello Mrs. Early". That just goes to show you that he keeps me in his cell phone because he knows how I am. So we went to the ER and the DR. there said it looked like he had a bad reaction to the shots. So he put him on a steroid and said to talk to his Pediatrtion on Monday. Zach's arm is no longer red but it is still a little swollen and his whole upper arm is one big bruise. So I think it was a combo of both a bleed and a reaction to the meds. because he would not have been that bruised if it was just a reaction to the shot. So that was our fun weekend. Not much else going on.

Shot Down

Zachary got 3 shots at the doctors office to get ready for school. He got all of them in the arm and didn't even cry, just like his dad. His reward for being good was lunch at Peter Pipers, I thought a round of golf would have been better.

17 Week Doctors Appt.

Well, everything went well at my doctors appointment. My doctor went to listen to the heartbeat but the baby was not having that. He could not find it's heartbeat. He starting pushing really hard on my stomach and everytime he did that the baby would kick the doppler. She was not having him pushing on her! So I got to get another ultra sound. I love ultra sounds! Everything looks great. He said everything is right on schedule. I asked him if could double check the sex but he couldn't see anything. So I go back to the doctor on July 26 for my 21 week check-up. I can't believe I am already half way through my pregnancy. It seems like forever but it seems like so soon before the baby is here. I will keep everyone posted on what is going on in our boring daily lives as it happens.

Talk to you later,

Update

Well, nothing to exciting has been going on here. That is why we don't really post that much. But I have a little bit to fill you guys in on. About two weeks ago I felt the baby for the first time. I wasn't sure it it was really it because when I felt Zach for the first time it felt different. Feeling that makes me feel like everything is going to be okay. I go for my 17 week check up on Thursday. My Doctor said he will see if he can double check a make sure she really is a girl. The chances were suppose to be 94% so let's hope those odds are right. Zach is getting so excited. There is not a day that goes by that he doesn't talk or ask questions about the baby. He has decided that since it is his baby sister he wants to name her. He has actually came up with a few cute names that could be in the running. The first one he likes is Zoey. Travis hates the name Zoey and said absolutely not, I think it is cute Zach and Zoey. The other name that Zach came with is Brooklynn. I don't know where he heard this name but I think it is pretty cute as well. Again Travis doesn't like it, it thinks it is to long. To bad he doesn't get to decide. The rule was when we had a boy he got to name him and when we had a girl I got to name her. We have a while to decide but I think Zach is coming up with a few good names. Travis likes Gabby! YUK!!!

Zach had a very very busy weekend. On Friday he went and stayed at John and Linda's. Travis and I were hoping to have a nice evening together however the toilet got more of my time. We went to dinner and I ended up with food poising. On Saturday Zach got home and we went over to my mom's because my little sister was down with her 1 year old son Blake. So Zach ended up staying the night with my mom and dad. I told him I was going to miss him and told me "oh mom you will see me tomorrow." I picked him up early on Sunday morning and we went to my aunts for a fun filled family dinner with my cousins from Oklahoma. I was there for about 3 hours before I had to go help Travis with his store inventory. Zach went home with my mom and I picked him up around 11:00 pm. All three of us were exsuased. Zach ended up crawling into be with us at about 1:00 am at which I took the couch. Between Travis and Zach I have no room in that bed. So needless to say I didn't sleep and I had to work all day yesterday. Good thing I don't have to work that much this week so I can catch up on some sleep. Oh wait Travis will get his sleep before me, he is still in bed as we speak because I had to get up with Zach and it is 9:36 am. Must be nice. I thought I was the pregnant one.

Well, that is it for now I will update everyone after my doctor's appointment on Thursday.

See ya,

Traffic School

I had to go to traffic school for 4 hrs. today. That sucked! That school today pulled in over $19,000 in traffic fines. Why the hell do we pay taxes? Hell this is the best organized crime since the mafia was around in Las Vegas. I want my cut...any ideas. All in all that was the longest 4 hrs. of my life!!! See ya in 2 years sucka!
