Zoo

DJ took off one day last week and we took Makenna to the zoo. She hasn't been there since last year. We had a wonderful time. Her favorite were the lions. And according to her everyone animal had a baby. We have talked about it several times since then and she remembers many of the animals that I didn't remember seeing. It was a wonderful day spent together. I wish there were more like it.






If you can't tell she wasn't fond of walking, she wanted to be carried.












After the zoo she took a nap. When she woke up her daddy needed to mow the yard. I had to work a few weeks ago and he mowed the yard with her in the backpack. She liked it and asked to do it again. So he put her in the backpack. They looked so cute I had to get some pictures. However this time she only wanted to do for a few minutes and then she said it scared her cause the mower is so loud. So we watched her daddy from the window the rest of the time.

Now DJ Is Sick Too

Well Makenna was sick on Sunday but she did much better on Monday. Monday night about midnight DJ started vomiting. He kept that up most of the night. He slept all day today. I was actually worried about him because he didn't hardly move for about 8 hours. He isn't nauseated any more but he has no energy. I thought Makenna was over it because everyone who has it is over it in about 24 hours and she was acting great today. I fed her a normal diet because she kept down her bland diet yesterday and she acted better today. But tonight I was about to get her ready for bed and she vomited everything she ate today. I'm not sure what is going on. She isn't following the pattern every else did. I hope that was a one time thing. I let her have yogurt and milk today cause that's what she wanted and I think that is what made her vomit. I called into work tomorrow because I didn't want to send her to school if she was going to be sick. Hopefully it was just the milk. I will feed her a bland diet for the next 2-3 days and hopefully no more vomiting. I have been downing vitamin C so hopefully I won't get it. I'm ready for my family to be healthy again!

Makenna Was Sick

Makenna woke up at 1:30am Sunday morning vomiting. We had to give her a bath and strip her bed. We padded our bed with tons of towels and put her in bed with us. She continued to vomit about every 20-30 mins until 5am. She fell asleep for about 2 hours and then woke up vomiting again. The next several hours were more of the same except that now she was just vomiting bile and she was choking on it. It was kind of scary for mommy and daddy. It made her very very mad!! After she would quit vomiting she would scream her head off!! She absolutely hates to vomit. She would rather be any other kind of sick but that. The next morning I had an entire washer full of towels and clothes to wash, that's how much she vomited through the night and day. I had to work Easter night (no I don't work nights but that's a story for another day. Needless to say I wasn't happy about it). So she took a nap with me in the afternoon and she slept good. Then she threw up a few more times but when I left for work she started feeling a little bit better. What was making me nervous was that she had only peed one time in 24 hours. For those of you who don't know that means you are getting very dehydrated. Little ones don't tolerate that well. Her daddy fed her some toast and powerade. She went to bed and slept with her daddy and he said she slept all night. She spent the day today with her Grandma and Grandpa so I could sleep and she did good. No more vomiting so far. I had them feed her a bland diet so she hopefully wouldn't vomit. I feed her a little bit when she got home and she is asleep in our bed right now. We wanted her to sleep with us one more night cause I was afraid she would vomit and choke. Hopefully she sleeps good and she doesn't get sick anymore. I hate it when she is sick. I feel so sorry for her. She looks so miserable and I hate it that I can't help her. I hope she is over it. She is still feeling a little puny but hopefully no more vomiting.

Arkansas Diamonds Game

Last night DJ, Makenna and I went to the Diamonds game. For those of you who don't know (liked I didn't) the Twisters changed their name to the Diamonds. For those of you who don't live around here, the Diamonds are an indoor football league. We thought Makenna would have fun because she is not your typical 2 year old girl and she loves football. I guess I shouldn't say "we" it was DJ's idea. So we drive to the game and pay $10 for parking (yes I said $10 for parking??!!:{ Then we were walking up to the ticket counter to buy tickets ( which range from $23-$33 for decent seats) and we saw this guy in a Twisters jersey. He had 3 tickets in his hand. I thought he was trying to sell them. He looked at us for a minute and then he asked us if we wanted the tickets. He said the owner gave them to him and he didn't have time to find anyone to give them to so he wanted to know if we wanted them. We were stunned for a minute! They were free tickets and he said they were better seats than his. So we said thank you so much and took the tickets. The seats were great!! They were 2nd row about 20-30 yard line ( I think, you should ask my husband, he is better at these things!) Makenna was very sleepy so we didn't plan very well. But we have an amazing daughter and she didn't complain at all. Once the football game started she enjoyed the action. She liked it when they kicked the ball and hit their head and their butt! What a girl!! After half time she was very sleepy so she wanted to get down and walk around. But we told her where to go and she obeyed pretty well. She was so cute! She is the best daughter in the world! We had a great time. We left after the 3rd quarter cause it was late but we all had a great time. I think we will do it again.

IT'S A GIRL!!

We had our ultrasound today at Babyviews. We found out we are having another girl. We are very excited, that is what we were hoping for. It will just be so much easier since our house is already plastered in pink. I can't upload the pics from the ultrasound because our scanner is broken so I'll just have to see you and show you or my hubby may be able to figure it out somehow. She looks perfect. All of her parts are there, in the right place, and functioning well. She wasn't very active which the ultrasound tech said may just be the time of day or she may just be a laid back baby (we're hoping for the second!) She was so cute! She is average size, about 9-10 ounces and about 8-9 inches long. The tech said that size isn't very accurate at this stage of pregnancy but I'm voting for a small baby like Makenna since I have to push her out! I was relieved to see that she is looking great. She was so cute! She opened and closed her fists, crossed her arms across her chest and put her hands up on her cheeks. She kicked her legs a little bit but she didn't change her position much. She looked so precious. So, somehow DJ Walker managed to pull off the miracle of the century by creating two girls! Who would've thought it possible!

Makenna's 2nd Birthday

Today was Makenna's 2nd birthday. We had our families over for some wonderful food cooked by my mom and some yummy cake. Makenna got tons of books which is awesome because books are her favorite thing in the world. Me and DJ got her a kitchen which she loves and is playing with right now. Mimi and Poppy got her some really cute clothes and a lawnmower that blows bubbles. Shannon, Chris, and Nash got her some Dora books with sounds and an adorable razorback dress. Aunts and Uncles got her some new movies (yeah! we watch the same one over and over!) Nana got her some divided plates, silverware, and minnie mouse stuff. Ma and Pa got her lots of books and some plates and silverware. I know I'm leaving out some presents and some people and I'm sorry but I have a 2 year old tugging on my arm right now. Thank you so much everyone for coming and for all of the gifts. We had a wonderful time and are so grateful to for all the wonderful family and friends that we are blessed with. Thank you all so much!! We love you!! Makenna had an amazing time and is playing with all her gifts right now. My cousin Natalie is starting to get into photography and she is amazing!! Here is some of the pics she took.
