Another ear infection....

Well, Mason is SICK again with an ear infection. We took him into the doctors about 3 weeks ago and he was prescribed Amoxicil (sp) I guess that didn't work, or it might have killed off one of the bacterias, and he had more in there. On Tuesday night, Mason woke up after 30 mins of sleeping just crying and crying. I thought it was a nightmare, but I had him calmed down 1 hr after. He than woke up 20 mins later with a fever and from than on, he kept on waking up crying. At around 4am, he fell asleep until 830am. So the Wager household had about 4 hrs sleep. We took him into the doctors and she prescribed a different type of medicine. We've been taking him into the walk in clinics because he seems to need to see a doctor on the weekends when his doctor isn't open. The walk in clinics haven't been sending Mason's file to his doctor, so she wasn't aware of anything going on.
Mason is definilty not his normal self. He actually lets us hold him on the couch without trying to get away and run and play. He hasn't been eating much either and I'm starting to get worried about it. Grant is home with Mason while I work the 2-10 shift. I have off tomorrow, so Grant is going to have a full day of much needed time ALONE.

Masons appt

We've got a speech therapist appointment for Mason. He isn't hitting the milestones for his age in speech. He does say little words, but for example, he won't finish the word "bottle". He will say "bot" He's great at understanding what we say.
I'm not too worried about it. I just want to see if there is anything I can do to help Mason. Plus, Grant didn't speak until 3, Mason might be following in his footsteps.

PMQ's are definilty not long term housing.

We've lived here in Kingston for 1 year and 2 months. We are going to be the
senior tenants on the street tomorrow. The family that is leaving tomorrow are heading to BC. Three other families have moved from our street in the course of a year!

We're getting a new car!

Finally, I won't have to scramble in the back seat to put Mason in the carseat!
We saw Mitsubishi Outlanders on the net, and than went to the dealer. We thought maybe a 2005 would be good for us. The 2006's were out of our price range. The dealer said that there wasn't any 2005 automatic transmissions left in Canada! They had a stick shift on lot but neither Grant nor I can drive a stick.
We did see a 2004 for a good deal. It rides great! So smooth compared to our car.
Well, we should be getting the new vehicle sometime this week. They're putting new tires on it and some other things.
The colour is green, a little darker than our car colour now.

Grant went out as an 80 hair band member. No, he really went out as Gimli from Lord Of The Rings.

Time to Celebrate

Mason went pee on his potty twice!
He's really good about letting us know if he has went to the bathroom.
Masons turning into a big boy!!!

We found out today...

What the baby is!!!
If anyone is planning on making or buying anything, please make it PINK.
Yup, it's a girl.
I had a feeling all along@

Guess what I bought today??

.......... the complete 1st season of Fraggle Rock!!! I'm so excited to watch it.
I loved the show as a kid. I hope Mason enjoys it.

This is a really good picture of the two guys!

A trip to the fair

We went to the 175th Kingston Fair yesterday. It rained a little, but that was ok. Mason went on the Carousel and even the farris wheel! He loved both of them. I'm not fond of rides, so Mason and his dad can go to Canada's Wonderland when Mason gets older and go on all the rollercoasters.
We watched a horse show for a bit, but Mason was more interested in eating popcorn.
The chickens and roosters made Mason shiver, he didn't like their noises.

Isn't this the best chair????

Mason's offroading.

pretty gross

I think that there is a dead animal in our vents. I smelled something nasty in our room, and checked everywhere for the source of the smell. Grant came in and said it smelled like a dirty aquarium. Well, Grant's nose led him to the vent in our room. We're both afraid to look inside.
YIKES

Get a van or another car?

We're contemplating getting a new car. We will need 4 doors, and more room for two carseats plus a passenger in the back. We were thinking of a van, but Grant tells me whoever he talks to about it says "NO" don't get a van.
We thought about getting another small car instead of a van , so we'll have two cars.
What do you think??

Doctors Appt

I met with my doctor for the first time on Tuesday. She's really nice, and experienced! She has 25 years experience delivering babies.
I got my blood checked as well, for iron deficiency and for the regular stuff that you get done when you're pregnant. If my iron is low, they'll call me. If not, I'll just find out the results when I go in on the 17th.
The doctors here don't give you an ultrasound at 10 weeks. There is a study going on called the Safer Study. It detects down syndrome and any spinal defects. You get your blood tested at 13 and 16 weeks and you also get an ultrasound. We're thinking of signing up for this study.
