Colton is still on an antibiotic to make sure his ear infection is completely gone. After that, hopefully he doesn't get another one!
I went to the doctor last week and had a few tests done because of my abnormal pap test results. I go next thursday for the results. I'm scared to death that it's going to be cancer or something. I don't think I could handle that. I will let everyone know what I find out. Lets pray that it's nothing!
My mom only has 5 more days of radiation left. That has went by so fast. I'm glad she's almost done so she can get back to her life.
I don't have very much to blog about right now so I will blog some more later.

Colton is feeling better now. He still has an ear infection though so he's on another antibiotic. If it's not gone by next week then he'll be getting tubes put in. Poor little guy!
While trying to get my baby to feel better, I got sick. I'm still fighting off a cold and I think I have a sinus infection now. Hopefully this is the last sickness for the season.
I go to the doctor thursday to schedule my surgery. I'm really nervous about it. Everything should turn out ok though.
I have a very busy week next week.
Here's my schedule:monday-job interview type thing. Tuesday-take Colton back to the doctor for a checkup. Wednesday-dentist. Thursday- Wic appointment. I think friday is free though. Maybe after next week I'll be done with all the appointments for a while.
I plan on going shopping this weekend. I need to buy me a few summer clothes because I want to be outside a lot this year. Me and Colton will be going on lots of walks and we'll spend some time at the park. He's going to love the swings!
Here are a few of the Easter pictures of my handsome little boy-

My sick baby

Colton has rsv. He has a horrible cough and an infection in his airways. (bronchitis)
He has to take an antibiotic and a steroid. We have to give him a breathing treatment every 4 hours. It's horrible. I hate that he's sick and it makes me so nervous. I will keep everyone updated on how he's doing.
Yesterday he said mama for the first time. It was the cutest thing. Josh asked him if he's ready for a nap and he answered with mama. I keep trying to get him to say it again and he just smiles at me.
Well that's all I have for now. I will blog again in a few days.

I know I keep saying that I am going to blog more. I really am trying my hardest to. I just forget about it. Sorry to the few that read it.
Not much has been going on here. Colton is getting so big. I will post pictures soon. We might take some Easter pictures this weekend. They're going to be so cute.
My parents will be down to visit tomorrow night. I am so excited to see them. It feels like it's been forever but it has only been a week. I miss them so much. We have been going up there every other weekend and it is hard on us. Colton always ends up sick and it's just rough. So I'm glad my parents are making a trip down here. Hope it's not too hard on my mom though.
Josh has been working 12 hour days, noon to 12. I don't like it because it makes me have a long and boring day when he's not here. It will be nice to have a little more money though!
I went and registered for classes yesterday. Most of the ones I need to take, I'm not able to. The schedule just wouldn't work since Josh works and I have Colton. So I decided to take 3 classes that should help me get a job. We'll see how that works out.
I was suppose to go to the doctor tomorrow to schedule surgery but the doctor had to reschedule. I go on the 7th now. So I will update you more when I find out something.
I've been trying to lose weight and it's so hard! I do my zumba for the wii every day and I think it's slowly working. I want to start running in the mornings when it gets warm out. I haven't been sleeping much at night so it's hard to get motivated in the morning to workout. I really need to though.
Well that's about it for now. I promise to post pictures soon!!

Here's a few things that have been going on with the Farler family.
Colton had his 6 month checkup tuesday. He now weighs 18 lbs 12 oz and is 27 inches long. He's such a big boy. He had to get his shots and he did not like it. That night he ran a 102.3 fever and ended up with an ear infection the next day so I had to take him back to the doctor. He's on antibiotics now and is back to his normal happy self!
Josh had another test done on his gallbladder and that came back normal. We don't know what to do now because obviously something is wrong. So I guess we'll be making another trip back to the doctor to try something else.
I went to the doctor today and I go back in 2 weeks to schedule a surgery. They think I have endometriosis so the doctor wants to look at my insides with a scope and fix what is wrong if they find something. I'm not looking forward to that. I've never had surgery before and I'm a little nervous about it.
My wedding is now 3 1/2 months away and there's still so much to do. Good thing I have my sister-in-law helping me! I don't know what I would do without her.
Well that's about it. I'll post pictures of Colton later. Sorry I've been a little behind on my blog. But as you can see I've been a little busy with family problems! I'll try my hardest to blog more!

I really need to make the time to blog more. I just keep forgetting about it though!
I got the results of my ultrasound and I have a small cyst on my spleen. I guess it's no big deal though and there's nothing the doctors do for it.
I go next week to see about me having endometriosis. My gynocologist thinks that is what I have so I might have to have a scope sometime soon.
Josh has another test done to see if his gallbladder is functioning or not. Hopefully they get that taken care of soon. All he is able to eat is corn dogs and plain potato chips with ketchup. That would get old really fast!
Colton turns 6 months old on Sunday. I can't believe how fast time is going. Seems like just yesterday we were going to the hospital on labor day to have him! He's so funny. I can't explain his personality. You have to see it for yourself.

A lot going on.

I'm sorry it has been a while since I've blogged. I have been busy and it completely slipped my mind until now. Here's a few things that are going on with the Farler family.
Josh will most likely be getting his gallbladder out within a couple weeks.
Colton is sick and is running a fever with a runny nose. He isn't feeling good at all.
I possibly have a cyst on my spleen. I go for an ultrasound in the morning. We're all falling apart.
Last Sunday I bought a lot of things we need for the wedding. There's only a little bit left that we have to get. Now we just have to start putting it all together.
I am stressed to the max and I will try to keep everyone updated on what we find out. But blogging is at the bottom of my list of things to do. That is all I have for now. I have to go take care of my sick baby now!

My baby boy

Colton Ray is getting so big. He's starting to sit up by himself more! He is so facinated with his feet. When we put them up to his mouth he just laughs. He's so cute.










Josh put together Colton's stroller and this is his first time in it. He wasn't so sure about it at first, but as you can see he started to like it. I love this picture. It looks like he's waving at the camera!

I know it has been a while since I have blogged and I'm sorry for that! I've been a little busy. Last weekend we took a trip up to my parents. I loved it and I miss them very much. We will be going back up there February 18th. During that trip I will get to see my Sister-in-law and my wonderful nieces!
While I'm up there, me, my Matron of honor, and my Maid of honor are going to pick out bridesmaid dresses and go to party city to get a lot of the things I need for my wedding. It's less than 5 months away and we have so much to do!
Nothing has changed much with Colton, except that he is still growing like a weed. His teeth have been hurting him and he is so close to getting 2 on the bottom. Well that is all I have to blog about right now. Colton is getting grouchy so it's time to put him down for a power nap.

Yesterday Colton finally rolled over from his back to his belly. He had been trying so hard and he finally figured it out. Now he hardly ever lays on his back. He either lays on his side or just rolls on over. It's so cute. I love watching him figure out new things. Makes me so proud to know that I'm the one teaching him how to do everything.
He is the cutest little boy and I love him so much. He has quite the personality now. I'll tell him to come to mommy and he gets all excited and reaches for me. Or Josh will tell him to come to daddy and he'll do the same thing then. That's the best feeling in the world knowing he wants to be with me! He now starts to laugh for no reason. I can just look at him and he'll laugh or he'll get the biggest smile on his face. He's so sweet and I can't believe how fast he's growing and changing. I love taking him up to see my family and showing him off. He's so fun and everybody should get to enjoy him as much as I do!

It has been a while since I've blogged. There isn't a whole lot going on here. Colton is still growing like a weed. He's constantly "talking" and making noises. I can't believe he's almost 5 months old. Seems like I just had him.
We are going up to my parents this weekend. It will be a much needed break for me! I miss my parents so much. Especially my mom since she has cancer. I worry about her all the time and I hate that I can't be there every day.
My wedding is in 5 months and I have nothing except a dress. In a few weeks me and Sarah are taking a trip to party city and David's Bridal. We will get a lot done once she's in Illinois. I don't know what I would do without her helping me!!
We found out how much we still owe on our house the other day. We should have it paid off around June. There's not very many 21 year olds that own their own house!! I can't wait to have it paid off. Then we might get a new car!
Well that's all I have for now. Here are a couple pictures of my cute little boy!

My little man.

he's such a big boy!

A little something before bed.

Yesterday I didn't end up going to the gastroenterologist. I have to wait until February 2nd now.
Colton had his first ear infection over a month ago and it hasn't completely went away yet so we had to take him to the doctor again today because the antibiotics didn't work. The doctor gave him a shot and said that it should take care of it. We just have to wait and see. I hate when he's sick. Hope he gets better soon. I want my happy little boy back!
I think I may have some me time on saturday. I want to go get my hair cut and maybe go tan. It's been a while since I have done anything for me. It's about time I do something! Colton is going to stay with his Grandma and Papaw Farler for the night so me and Josh can relax and they can spend some time with their baby.
My mom has another surgery tomorrow to take out more around the cancer. It should be an easy operation and I hope it's the last. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers and hope she gets better soon!

My baby is becoming such a big boy! He now takes all his naps in his crib and he sleeps all night in it too. He just all of a sudden decided that he doesn't really like to be rocked any more. I lay him in his crib and he goes right to sleep. He also decided that his bed time is now 10:30 instead of midnight. I love it but it kind of makes me sad too! I can't believe how much he is changing. He started eating 7 oz. every 3 hours now and I give him more rice and baby food throughout the day. I have a feeling he's going to be big like both his uncle Johnnys and his papaw. The way he eats he's going to be bigger than me and Josh in no time!
I go to the doctor tomorrow to see a gastro intestinal specialist. My gynocologist thinks I have endometriosis but they won't do a scope or anything until I find out if there's something wrong with my bowels or anything. I'll post more about this when I found out something.
Well my little man is sleeping so I better head to bed. We have a wic appointment in the morning and then I have to go to the doctor. It's going to be a long day. Goodnight everyone!

Something special for my mom.

This is just for you momma!
You are my best friend.
I can tell you anything and I know you're always there for me when I need you!
Even though I'm 250 miles away, I know I can count on you to make it down here in 3 hours if I really need you!
I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate everything you have done for me. I wouldn't have made it through the first couple months of Colton's life without you!
I miss you so much and I think about you every day. I am so happy that you're getting your cancer taken care of and that you are going to be ok. I'll never stop worrying about you though. I hate that I'm not there all the time. But I can come up there any time you need me or just want to see me!
You mean the world to me and like dad said earlier you're going to live another 80 years and I'm countin on you to do that! I don't know what I would do without you.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MOMMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Late Night Blogging.

Colton is currently sleeping so I thought I would blog real fast before bed. Colton has been sleeping in his carseat at night for the past couple months and I really need to get him use to his crib. He has taken a few naps in it but has never slept in it at night. I'm hoping to put him in the crib this weekend when we're up at my parents. Josh told me he would help me get him use to it so we'll see if he does! Josh never changes poopie diapers. He has changed maybe 3 since Colton has been born. Well yesterday morning he actually let me sleep and he took care of Colton. Usually he would wake me up to change the diaper but he didn't this time. I was so happy and proud of him. He's so good to me! I don't know what I would do without him. He's a great daddy! My mom has surgery wednesday to r
emove the lump from her breast. Me, Josh, and Colton are going up there to be with her all weekend. I worry about her because I'm not there to take care of her. After all the surgeries she has had I was always there to be with her. Now it's hard to do living 4 1/2 hours away and having a baby to take care of. I'm going to do my best to be there a lot now though. I don't want her to miss us too much!



Colton in his high chair.

My life at the beginning of the new year.

This is the first time I have blogged since I had my son 4 months ago. I got a little distracted when he was born. He had cholic and would scream all night and every night so I wasn't sleeping very much. He now sleeps almost all night. He goes to bed at midnight and wakes for one feeding then goes right back to sleep. It's wonderful!

Colton is now rolling over almost every time we put him on his belly. He is also starting to get his first tooth. Makes me sad that he's becoming such a big boy but it's also kind of nice to have a little more free time now that he's a little older!

He weighed 7 lbs 14 oz and was 20.5 inches long when he was born and he is now 16 lbs and 25 inches long. I can't believe how fast he is growing!
He loves to sit in his high chair and watch tv. The tv is his favorite thing. I love that he is recognizing people now. Me or Josh walk past him and he just smiles at us. Him smiling at me is the best feeling ever. Even if I'm having a bad day, all he has to do is smile at me and nothing else seems to matter that much.

My mom recently found out that she has breast cancer. I think about her constantly and I hate that I'm not there with her all the time. We're starting to go up there a lot more now though so I can be with her. I love her so much and I refuse to let anything happen to her. I just don't understand why it had to happen to her. She's been through enough already!
