Good and Bad .....

So just as hubby was about to go start my car on Sat. morning to go shopping my Mom called, she had fallen the day before and hurt her knee - she didn't think she could go shopping! :( Well I wasn't about to go by myself cause then this would mean that I would have to tackle the mall twice so we finally figured out that her "man friend" would go to their storage unit and get her wheelchair that she used a bit last year but has since been using a walker. But then they were worried about me lifting the chair in and out of the car so we decided that her friend would come with us. We got to the mall at about 10am and it was actually fairly empty!? Our first stop was Jacob Jr. where we bought gift cards for my brothers wife's daughter, then we found one of the maternity stores that we wanted to check out, Thyme Maternity. The service wasn't so great when we first walked in but then the lady quickly spotted us and came over to explain the sizes and different styles. She kept grabbing a bunch of different things for me to try on and in no time my dressing room was full! The did have a bunch of sales on, mostly buy one get the second for a discounted price. I thought my Mom was just going to buy me a outfit or give me $100 to spend but when it came time to buy she put it all on her Visa!! I didn't have too pay for any of it - I feel so spoiled loved! he he I ended up getting one pair of jeans, a pair of black pants, two t-shirts, two nice blouse tops, a cover up thing to keep my arms warm, a nice warm sweater, two bras, 4 pairs of undies and a sample pack of their creams. (I think that was all) It ended up costing way more then I had planned on but we did save almost $100 from all the deals and I got $25 gift cards for every $100 we spent. It was fun but we were there for two hours! I felt bad for my mom's friend he must have been so bored! Then we went for lunch and checked out a few more stores in the mall and headed to the toy store. I found a couple gifts for my nephew so

I'm almost done! We headed back to my Mom's for a little visit which ended up being supper as well and found out that my niece who is only 11 months old was in the hospital again! She was in the hospital at 7 weeks because she had RSV and now she was back in there cause they found her blue after her nap.

I finally got a hold of my brother (without our phones disconnecting us) when we both got home around 9pm Sat. night. He said that my niece seemed to be doing good now and was discharged from the hospital but they had to go get some asthma medicine. One of the side affects from having RSV as a child is that they usually develop asthma so my brother and his wife already knew she had asthma but this time there was no warning of a attack? She was a little sick with what they thought was the flu and then really tired the next day which they assumed was because of the flu symptoms. Then they put her down for her nap and when they went to check on her her lips were blue and feet and hands were purple! They quickly took her to the Hospital were the nurses had a hard time trying to get blood so they did a chest x-ray which confirmed it was a asthma attack. Now they have to go see a specialist to figure out why there were no symptoms prior to the attack - no wheezing or anything~?

Other then that my weekend was pretty lazy - I didn't do hardly any house cleaning. I'm excited for my new clothes and can hardly wait to wear them, I thought I would try and go as far as I can in my "fat" jeans but this morning when I tried putting on my "fat" jeans fresh out of the dryer .... they were a little too tight so I might end up wearing them sooner then I thought! I think I will get one more pair of jeans and maybe a few more tops but I can always do that after Christmas when the malls aren't so busy. I never did end up checking out Motherhood Maternity cause I was too tired from the first store so I would still like to check out that store! The lady at the store recommended that none of their clothes go into the dryer - she said they should be hung of laid flat to dry! Because of the spandex material she said it will keep them in better shape for longer. So I guess I will have to figure out where I am going to hang or lay them to dry! ?
