Riley the Incredible eating monster

Even with me sitting at home with Riley, we were not immune to the nasty little cold bugs that seem to be floating around. Grammie Sue I think got it from the plane then dad got it, then mom got it and well now Riley has it. She woke up the other day sounding like a gargling pug. Poor thing sounded so bad and felt worse since all she wanted to do was be held.
On Friday I finally gave in and took her into the doctor after a call into the nurse. We left with a clean bill of health and a diagnosis of the "viral cold" bug, so all is well.
The bit of news that had me shocked was that she gained so much weight! she is now 9 pounds 8 oz, crazy! It makes me fell better that she gained so much weight since all she does is eat, at least I know it goes somewhere.

We had our big outing on Saturday heading up to Machias for my cousin's wedding shower from Renton, so a lot of time on the road and with people. It was great for us to get out of the house and it was good to take her on such a long drive. She did great - though she ate and ate when we finally got there, so not many people got to see her face! :)

Today I had a ton of errands to run and got started late around 11am since Riley chose to sleep in and eat and eat again. :( We went to Southcenter mall to Macys to get me some capris or shorts that fit since I am still not able to fit into my pre-pregnancy things yet. However Riley had a different agenda, she had a meltdown of massive proportions in the dressing room at Macys. She went from smiles to red face, tears and that no noise and no breathing..........then SCREAM thing. It scared me and the lady in the next stall trying something on. I was like "sorry!" Luckily I had planned for the outing with a few bottles and I fed her in the dressing room and she calmed down. :) yet again i just purchased a few things without really trying anything on so I sure hope something fits again.
The items I had purchased at Eddie Bauer the other day with her, nothing fit so that all has to go back. UGH.

I will be posting a few updated pictures later. It seems that she changes every few days, maybe because she is eating so damn much. ;)

Hope this post finds you all well and for those of you in Seattle I hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather!

GET IN MY BELLY! :)
