Update on the STY...

So we took Tessa to the eye doctor today to have him check her sty-if you are unaware of Tessa's eye problem, scroll down a bit, there's a giant picture. Anyway, we thought he was going to drain it, but no. He looked at it and said that it was a pretty big sty and we had two options. He said option one is to wait it out-apparently some can last for months. He said he would prescribe her a steroid cream to see if that would reduce the swelling, and hopefully it'll go away eventually. The other option is to take her to Primary Children's Hospital, and he can perform a surgery on her eye. She would have to be completely asleep, so they would have to put her under, and then they slice it open and scoop all the puss out. Then, she has a black eye for about 2 weeks, which is always fun. SO...we decided to get her the cream, and see what happens. The doctor said that if it hasn't gone away in six months then we should do the surgery. So we're waiting. And if anyone has a problem with how gross her sty is (sisters) take it up with Dr. Peterson. He's at the Rocky Mountain Eye Center. There is no way I'm letting her have a surgery. She's not even 2 yet!!

Tagged-sort of...

I think I was technically tagged-this stuff is all about my boo, Alex.

6- What's your favorite quality about him? He's pretty sweet when you think about it....I say mean things about him sometimes, but he's really cute.

17- What's his favorite type of music? Anything that sucks. And Jonas Brothers.
18- What do you admire most about him? He's pretty strong in his convictions, wheterh religious or otherwise. It can be annoying, but it's pretty cool.

19-What's his favorite past time? Being gay with his friends. Seriously, if I knew him in high school, things would've turned out a lot differently.
20- Do you think he is going to read this? Nope, he won't. It's cool though, I'll tell him about it.

I'll tag everyone. You know who you are.

An update on Tessa's Sty

Tessa has been asleep for hours and I am really bored, so I'll give everyone an update on the goings on with her deformation. I took her to the doctor today because it's been 3 weeks since her sty developed, and it isn't getting any smaller. SO he told me that he didn't want to drain it just yet, because she has been responding to antibiotics. So she is on a stronger antibiotic, and I'm giving it to her like 3 times a day, so I hope it'll just go away so I don't have to go to a specialist to have it drained. It's seriously getting on my nerves.

The Sty

If you are terrified about the title of my blog today...you should be. A little over 2 weeks ago Tessa started to get this sty on her eye. Basically, she has a larger eyelash folicle, and sometimes bacteria gets caught in it. Eventually, they pop and drain the puss out after about a week or so, but for some reason, this one was trying to take over her face...and my life. It doesn't bother her so much, but if I have to explain what it is to one more person, I might scream. No, I did not hit her in the eye, and no, she didn't fall into a table. Luckily, Alex has a cousin who is a pediatrician, and he looked at it and got her on an antibiotic, so it's finally going away. But if you think it's gross, you are correct. It really is. It's not as bad anymore. The picture above was when it was at it's worst. So picture it a little less gigantic and more pinkish now.

Sebastian Ted Smith-he's here...

So this morning we get a frantic call from my mom at 7:00 am to let us know that my older sister Cessy had gone into labor about 2 weeks early (my mom was frantic because she was still in St. George-she made it home in record time). Long story short, I showed up at the hospital around 8:30 am and she had already delivered Sebastian Ted (I hope that's the name they decided on, or this will be hilarious). He was 7 lb. 2 oz. and 21 inches long. He's pretty dang cute too. So here are some pictures for those of you who like pictures....which I'm assuming is everyone.

We're BACK...

According to Cailey, I haven't updated in a while. Maybe that's because I was on a cruise, Cailey! That do anything for you? Not all of us can be the next Perez, so you'll have to make do with what I give you. Before I blog about my cruise, let me just say how awesome Tessa looks in this picture. If you can zoom in, you can see her creepy smile. She really loves Steve.

So now the cruise. We went on a cruise with Alex's family-it was awesome. Ask me about it, I've got some good stories. We went to San Diego, Catalina, and Ensenada (that's fancy for Mexico)...we went to the beach in San Diego, then went snorkeling in Catalina, and then went to hell in Ensenada....just kidding, I liked it. Sort of. Alex will kill me when he sees that I wrote that Mexico is one of my hells. But it seriously is. All in all it was a way fun trip. I got a big floppy hat and sang karaoke in front of strangers, so obviously it was successful. I don't have any karaoke pictures because Alex took them on his little sister's camera, but I probably looked pretty good. I was singing right after that 11 year old Asian girl from YouTube, so I was nervous...maybe I'll post those pictures when I get them. We'll see.

Tessa's First Heels

This is pretty self-explanatory. Tessa found her grandma's heels the other day, so we took some pictures.
