Ok. So, I have a ton of pictures I need to make an update with, also Laela and I made Halloween Pumpkin Spice Biscuts. Lot's of fun, she loved it. I got pictures of that as well. We were board, Jay is out of town on business and wont be back until the weekend then he is leaving again until the next weekend. So, we are going to have a lonely couple of boring weeks :-p ... Laela was sooo upset when he left, at first she wanted to go with him, then she thought he was joking/playing with her, he went to the car and forgot something and had to come back in and she got all excited and started laughing then he went back out and she thought he was playing, he started to back out and she kept laughing and acting like it was a game then when he got all the way out of the drive way and drove off and screamed "NOO, DADDDY!" and busted out crying, I felt so bad for her, everytime a car would go by she would run to the window screaming daddy :-( .. She's fine now, but keep's asking to see the pictures of "Dada and Lae lae" on the computer.lol. Well, not right now because it's 9pm and she is asleep :P.

About TTC,my periods all whacked up,my last cycle was 23 days and it's been over 23 days since my last period and I haven't started yet,but negative pregnancy tests,so I don't know when or IF I will even have a period this month,since we are still breastfeeding,I am sure it is playing a factor in my cycles being more irregular,Laela still nurses pretty much on demand most of the time AND she still nurses at night.So,still nursing quite often,plus I am sure my body isn't totally back to normal with the change in hormones from my IUD and everything being taken out in May..But my cycles are just soo messed up right now I don't know when I am coming and going with it.I thought I would be starting my period this week,but now I seem to be ovulating!,I have the right CM,my ovaries are hurting(they always hurt like this when I ovulate),I haven't checked my BBT today but I am not sure with that and no signs of my period..Jay was just switched to 3rd supervisor which SUCKS! But hopefully it wont be for long! just until they can hire someone for the position then he will be back to 1st shift.So,if I am ovulating
right now it would be a great time for him to be HOME.lol.
Anyway,I have lots of new pictures from over the past couple of days.

In advance SORRY this is so long.It's about a couple of different things.
Laela is 10 months old today! Can you believe it? I cant!..lol.
Only 2 months until she is 1! It's crazy.
So,we are celebrating 10 months breastfeeding! yay 
I'm so proud of myself. There were so many times in the beginning I just wanted to give up and I kept going.I cant believe I have done it for almost a year 
She can take 2-3 steps now. But not all the time. She's getting better at it though.She will probably be walking within a month 
I don't know how I feel about that.LOL.
Laela finally scored those babylegs she has been wanting ;) hehe. Plus her new just ducky AIO's came today also. She must really like the baby legs-as soon as I got them out of the envelope she ripped them out of my hand and started trying to get them out of the package.lol.
I got Laela 3 Nana's bottom AIO's and just got them in the mail a couple of days ago. I LOVE them. And they aren't breaking her out. They have a flannel inner. I will def be getting more. They fit her really well and you can pick from flannel,cotton knit,cotton woven,MF,SC,velour,terry, birdseye AND sherpa!. Great selection 
. Especially since it's super hard for me to find stuff that doesn't break Laela out.I got a greap color,magenta and raspberry Anyway. Here are pictures of her in one of them 
(sorry had to share I'm excited 
)
Ok update on Laela being sick.
As I mentioned before. She was sick last week and had to go to the doctor. We were told it was 'thought to be a viral stomach infection' and if it got worse bring her back in a couple of days. Well she seemed to be getting better.And we had to go to Dallas over the weekend. Her fever went away and everything she just acted like she still didn't feel the best but was getting over whatever she had. Sat she woke up with a few litttle red bumps on her face and I just thought maybe it was caused by the fever she had had,And I even thought maybe she had had scarlatina and it was a scarlatina rash and would go away shortly. Well Sat night she was up ALL night crying and crying.I would get her to sleep and 30 mins later she would be crying again and REALLY really crying like something was really wrong. By Sun morning when we got up around 5am because she couldn't even go back to sleep anymore,the rash was TERRIBLE! I knew there was something wrong then.She wouldn't nurse,wouldn't let anyone touch her,cried and cried. The rash was on her hands,wrests,all over her face,neck even on her head. I cant even explain what it looked like. We took her to the ER and basically the Dr.acted like I was an idiot,he never told me what the damn rash was all he said was 'I think it's an allergic reaction to her diapers' (she was wearing huggies over the weekend while we were out of town) I tried explaining everything to him and he still acted like I was stupid.So, my only option was to go to Target or wal-mart and buy those stupid gerber prefolds! uhg.So,Jay went and got some of those and some of those vinyl gerber covers.lol. The doctor gave us 2 antihistamines-Zyrtec and basically something the same thing as Benadryl and Prednisolone which is a steroid to clear the rash up. Benadryl every 6 hrs,Zyrtec once a day and Prednisolone once a day for 5 days. I put the Gerber pre-folds on her and gave her her med and by the next morning the rash was 10x better,and she was already in a better mood. She is doing A LOT better she still has a little bit of the rash but nothing compared to what it was and she is being happy goofy Laela most of the time now :D yay!
Anyway. Here are some pictures taken within the last week and some videos. She is getting to be such a big girl! I cant believe how fast she is growing up. She looks like a 'little girl' now not a baby :( She's 17.5 lbs and about 28inches long. And she looks like a little chubba dub in her pictures.lol. 
Laela has been sick since tuesday.
She starting out being really fussy and whining and crying all day tues,wouldn't let me do anything hardly wanted to nurse Etc. Not being herself at all. She felt a little warm but not enough to really cause concern.By about 2am she was worse,and burning up! I took her temp and it automaticaly shot up to 101.8 and the she wouldn't let it finish.She woke up every half hr crying,wouldn't sleep.By abput 7am she felt like a little heater when you would hold her,you could feel the heat before you touched her.Her temp was 102-103+ she was really fussy all day yesterday, tylenol wasn't helping nothing.She was spitting up,not really throwing up but spitting up isn't normal for her.Seriously in 9 months the ONLY time she spit up was when she was allergic to dairy and I had to cut that out around 8 weeks old since then she hasn't spit up once.So, of course that wasn't normal,she's had an upset stomach.All night last night she was burning up,had a high fever by 7am I gav her more tylenol and called the pedi,her other appt for her 9 month check up had to be canceled b/c her dr wasn't in.So,I called and asked if someoneelse could go ahead and see her today,the got her in at 11:35 for a quick check with a Dr. I've never met there before. She said she has a viral infection and that if she doesn't get better in a day or to to take her to the H since they cant see her it will be the weekend. She's never been sick before
.She's been realy clingy and mopy today.I feel so bad for her.She wont let me do anything but hold her.She wants to nurse for comfort but she doesn't want to nurse at all because she feels bad,she acts a little confused and heart broken,like I'm supposed to fix it and I cant .So,that's what's going on. Sorry if I'm not around much right now.I hope this passes soon and she at least feels a bit better by tomorrow.She will have her regular check up next week.

We just got back from Houston. We spent the weekend at my FIL's.
I swear he pisses me off to no end!. Why can he not just keep his mouth shut about the things I/we do with Laela and how WE parent.
He just really bugs the shit out of me. I mean he has had a problem with me breastfeeding since the beginning,He has said stuff to Jay before about "WHY do you use CLOTH DIAPERS" over the weekend he was went into this thing about how I NEED to put Laela in daycare and get a job,and kept telling people "She isn't used to PEOPLE,Karah's a SAHM" WTH!! OMG,you don't even know how bad this pissed me off. Has he not ever heard of things like Play groups!,mommy meetings,church! He pissed me off so bad. I was like "NO the reason she doesn't want to come to you is because she is NEVER around you, what do you think I do hang around aliens? she isn't used to people? WTH" then he said something about me breastfeeding and went into this thing about how Laela needs to be eating 'REAL' food now not breastmilk. And Jay was like "well actually she is fine on breast milk and NEEDs to continue nursing until at leat a year,her pedi told us that she would actually be perfectly healthy on nothing but breast milk for the first year if that was all she wanted or would take" and he was like "uh NO that's WRONG" and Jay was like "Well dad,we actually researched it ourselves to find out and we found various things that proved it was true" and he just looked at him weird and then shut up..
