Sick Baby

Jackson had to go to the doctor again. He started wheezing last night, and this morning his cough got worse. I called daycare to check on him around 1, and he had only drank about an ounce of formula. We went to the doctor, and his breathing passages are inflamed and he has an ear infection.
He does not like the mask that goes over his mouth and nose, but he didn't try to take it off. That, plus trying to give him his medicine is not going to be fun..

Tortellini in cream sauce

1 pack (some are 8 oz, some are 10) refrigerated tortellini
8 strips bacon
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste
Start the water for the pasta.
While you are waiting on the water to boil, cook bacon (I usually use kitchen shears to cut into bite sized pieces before I cook it). When the bacon is finished, remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Using the same pan, turn the heat down to med low.
Cook tortellini according to package directions (Leave a little extra room in the pot, as the pasta swells when you cook it)
While the tortellini is cooking, add the heavy cream to the pan you used to cook the bacon. Return the bacon to the pan, along with the parmesan cheese. Add spices to your liking. Don’t bring the heat any higher than medium.
Drain the tortellini and mix with the cream sauce. Yum!

Really not a good weight watchers recipe...

So we want to buy a house

Our hunt has begun for a new home.
We have looked at some rentals, and found one we like. But something gave me the notion to look into buying a house. We have no clue what we are doing, but we are going to start looking into first time home buyer programs.

I also want to start Weight Watchers again soon, and I think this will be a good way to help keep me on track! I want to loose at least 50 pounds, and will be thrilled if I can loose 75 pounds. I was on Weight Watchers before I got pregnant, and I really like the program. The meetings keep me accountable.
