Quite Busy

What a long few weeks its been. Kaleb turned a year old, Andre is enjoying school to no end, I got to see my Grandma and Mike has been supporting me through the last Heart Doctor Appt.

Its amazing how fast a year goes when you watch your kids grow up. Here are a few pics to enjoy the last year.




What a blessing he is, so happy and easy going, loving and full of energy! I hope this next year is as happy as this one was little man!

Andre has taken to school very well and seems to be very upset when he doesn't get to go. Thats a blessing too. He comes home a different child, very calm and happy to share his day. I LOVE school!

My heart doctor appt was monday and we got good news. He doesn't think I have PPH but he is sending me for more tests to try to pinpoint what is really going on. Wednesday I go for a 24 moniter of my heart to watch my heart rate. Then I have to do a sleep study to see if I have sleep apnea. After that I'm not sure where we go but my doc did say that I need to cut my pop and drink more water along with eating better and work out more, which Mike and I will be doing together. Mike had been awesome in the last few days helping make changes for both of us, thank God cause I don't think I could do it on my own.

My dear Grandma, I was able to see her this week and it was so nice to have those special moments with her. She isn't doing well but she knew who I was and enjoyed that I was there. Her facial expressions can tell a whole story, its amazing. My fav momenst were when I walked in the room and she was sleeping. I grabbed her hands to hold them. She opened her eyes and you could tell she was so happy and grateful to see me. She held my hands and patted them, so endearing, and loveingly, I'll never forget that feeling. She joked with us a bit over the hours we were there and then when we got ready to leave I told her I loved her and she mouthed it back. This isn't the first time she has ever said I love you but it ment so much givin the facts laid before us. I'm so glad that I was able to spend my life with her. Much more then what most of my other family can say and I wouldn't change it for anything. Its hard to see someone you love go through so much but I know its all for a reason and all for a plan, greater then we are.

Now, we are back to everyday life, I need to get back to cleaning. YAY FUN! Until next time!

Slide Show Of Kaleb's First Year

Kaleb's first year

Exhusted

So not only does Kaleb have RSV but now Andre is coughing up a storm along with a fever that is averaging 101 in the last two days. Took Andre to the doc and he is now on Zithromax for 5 days in hopes that it will take care of what ever he has that is making his lungs sound gunky. So I feel like I'm ready to be a nurse I've adminstered so many drugs in the last month and a half its absurd. Not to mention I've been batteling headaches and migraines for oh the last 5+ days along with being sleep deprived due to children up every hour needing something. I seriously could sleep for days without a problem and at this point I think my kids are in the same boat. I told our doctor today that though I love him dearly I'm really tired of seeing him and would like very much to not see him in the next few weeks though I doubt that will happen.

On another note Kaleb took 5 unassisted steps toward Mike last night and has taken some more today to me, he still isn't sure of himself and gets too excited at points but I know before long he will be running after his brother squeeling with delight.

As for now I'm off to read a bit and drift off to dream land for hopefully a few hours before I'm woke for whatever reason.

RSV and Grandma

Well I figured this would happen since Kaleb has been sick for over a month now. This poor kid has RSV. He is on breathing treatments, antibiotics and a steriod. He has been poked and proded more time in the last month then I think I was in my whole pg for him.

He is such a trooper though, still smileing and adventerous. I just feel so bad for him going through all of this. His birthday party is in two weeks and I'm not sure if we should have it for him or not providing that what I'm hearing he could still be contagious. One more thing to think about and worry about.

On another note my Grandma is still not doing well, she has had surgery upon surgery and things just don't seem to be getting better. Thanks for all the prayers I appreicate them more then you know. For now I need to be with Kaleb so I will update when I can. I just pray this doesn't get any worse.

Yep thats what Andre came home singing today from school. Brothers are awesome! All the while singing this in the kitchen Kaleb is yelling what sounds like Hey and trying to pull at his brother. I can only imagine what it will be like when they can both talk back and forth to each other.

Something To Make You Smile

You Tell Me

I'm going to list some symptoms and you tell me what you think they are. These are from Andre, I'm really worried about him and I'm hoping its just a stomach thing.

Loose stool
Bad cough
Throwing up~not every day its been every other day
Belly hurts
Sleeps from 7 pm to 7 am almost daily now.
Very whiny but I tend to think thats normal for him now.

Get those wheels turning and let me know what you think.

Heyyyyyy!

I picked the boys up yesterday from school and the conversation went as follows between Andre's teacher and I.

Teacher~Andre had a good day today, he went potty by himself and I began to wonder what was taking him so long. So I walk out in to the hall and hear this voice yelling Hey! Hey! Heyyyyyyyy! As I walked around the corner I seen him sitting on the potty. I asked "what's up?"

Andre~I Pooped( in a proud voice)

Teacher~Great!

Andre~Wipe my butt please!

Me~Laughing so hard I couldn't say a thing because I can so picture my poor son sitting on the craper yelling for someone to come help him.

I explained that we had yet to teach him how to wipe himself because daycare was sprung on us and so at home we continued to wipe him due to me not wanting to deal with icky underwear LOL.

I'm so gald he feels comfortable enough to be sitting on the potty bringing attention to himself after only being there for 3 half days.
