About Me

After 7 years of dating I finally married my high school sweetheart in Oct of 2009. I had always dreamed of marrying him and starting a family. On February 16, 2011 that dream came true when we welcomed our beautiful baby boy, Colin James, into our lives. I look forward to sharing our joy with you!

No Appetite...



Strange things are happening in the Harrell household.  Colin's appetite is nonexistent.  The Dr said that it should decrease due to the fact that his growth should be slowing down now.  I didn't know it would decrease this much though.  He used to wake up, have a 6 oz cup of milk, eat solid breakfast a couple hours later, have some yogurt a couple hours after that, eat lunch, have another 6 oz cup of milk, another snack, and then dinner.  He would eat it ALL and sometimes want more.  Now he isn't finishing his food or his milk, he even throws some food on the floor.  He laughs when Diesel eats it... haha  He still enjoys his yogurt and snacks though.  One good thing, our grocery bill will go down!  I guess I'm just not used to it.  He's also been very cranky the past week or so.  I still think it might be his molars.  I can't see any just yet, but that doesn't mean they aren't there!  He's had bad diaper rashes and his temp was elevated a little too.  He even had a fever of 101 yesterday.  I hate to see him so uncomfortable.  He poos and it immediately starts to burn his bum.  I have to use a cool wet wash cloth to wipe him because the baby wipes make it burn (even the sensitive ones.)  :-(  I feel so bad for him.  He's also been chewing on his paci's with the back of his mouth.  Which makes me believe his molars are bothering him. 

A couple days ago my left eye felt a little itchy.  It wasn't bad, it just felt like there was a piece of dirt caught under my eyelid.  Then yesterday I woke up with a swollen, oozy eye!!!  Throughout the day it got worse and worse... :-(  I'm almost positive it's pink eye.  I also have a swollen gland in front of my left ear and my nose is congested.  I'm sure it's all related.  I'm going to the Dr this evening, so I hope they can give me something.  I've never had this before and it's miserable!  My biggest concern is passing it on to Colin.  I am being very careful not to touch my eye and not to get any where near Colin's eyes.  So far he doesn't seem to have any symptoms.  I pray it stays that way.

Colin has now whistled 3 times!
He says "Daddy" instead of "Dada."

Sorry, I haven't gotten many pictures uploaded lately.  Here are a few from when we met up with my friend Nedra and her kids Tyler and Nariah!  And of course one of my eye.
