Good News!

I had my doctor's appointment and ultrasound today and the cyst is gone--so no surgery for me! I'm so happy!

I have been really bad lately about taking pictures of Jackson--isnt that terrible!? I just havent taken anything to post on here, but I promise I'll do better!

The Vegas countdown is on in the Dart house--we're so excited to go!

Update...

I was supposed to be going back to the doctor for another ultrasound and update on my cyst situation on Monday, but the office called to reschedule because my doctor wouldnt be there Monday! So, now my appointment is this coming Wednesday--I have to go 2 extra days no knowing what's going on! I'm really hoping the cyst is gone--otherwise, it'll be me going under the knife (which I really dont want to do!).

On the bright side--WE'RE GOING TO VEGAS!!! This will be my 3rd time going and I cant wait! The first time I went (July 2005), I got pregnant there. The second time (October 2006), Jackson was 6-months old and it was the first time I had ever left him for any amount of time. We'll just have to see what this time (in August) brings!

This is a pic of me and my boys in Vegas during my first trip out there in July 2005. We were there for Kappa Sigma fraternity's biannual conclave (Brian was still "on-staff" with the fraternity). Little did I know I had a little one on the way...

We were in the lobby area of the Mirage hotel (one of my favorite hotels in Vegas)

Sick and tired of being sick!

The Thursday before Memorial Day weekend Brian got a tummy bug and was in bed the entire long weekend! Unfortunately, Jackson was the next victim and he got sick Monday (Memorial Day) and stayed sick the entire week! He ran a super-high fever of around 104 and had an upset tummy--he was just pitiful!

After 2 trips to the doctor, we finally got some antibiotics and things started getting better! Jackson's back to normal--being full of energy and mischevious! :)

I cant imagine that the "terrible two's" have started already, but BOY does my little angel have a temper! He does not like the word "no" and just fusses if he's told not to do something! He's also starting to explore alternative uses for his 5 teeth--mainly trying to bite people and things! My technique for trying to break him of this is, whenever he goes for anything to bite, I quickly stick his own arm in the way so he ends up biting himself instead. Then, we discuss that it probably hurt him, and it also hurts others. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt!
