Oops I Did It Again....

Once again I have been horrible at blogging. I am trying to decide if it is worth my time to keep going. I only know of one person who notices when I don't update and keeps telling me to write a new one. But, I do have good reason for not blogging. I have had a house full of sickies again. It all started a few weeks ago with Cannon. He was acting calmer than usual at church and his teacher asked me if he wasn't feeling good. He told me no so I got his Nana to come sit with him while I finished working in the nursery. Well right before we left to head home he started throwing up multiple times. Poor Nana got the brunt of that. By the time we got home Cannon was shirtless wrapped in my cardigan and I was in a tank top in 30 degree weather. I just figured he had a little stomach bug. My parents were due to come the flowing day so I was hoping that was all it was. He laid around all the next day and perked up a little when his Grammy and Granddaddy came. We thought for sure he was good. The next morning things looked good but it only lasted an hour or so. He was running a temp. anywhere from 101 to 103. I knew something wasn't right so we took him in to the doc. They decided to do a chest x-ray and guess what...He had pneumonia. The poor guy was miserable. I felt so bad for him. I also hated that the whole time Grammy and Granddaddy were there he felt puny. Madison got some good bonding time with them though. A few days after Cannon got diagnosed with pneumonia I heard Madison getting a yucky cough like Cannon's. I immediately made her an appointment on Monday to get her checked out. We take her in and they say she has RSV. When it gets to the point that she is having trouble breathing you can bring her in and we will give her meds. Booo. I didn't like that answer. I thought I was doing good by bringing her in BEFORE it got to that point, but I understand they don't want to give babies medication unless they absolutely need it. So anyway by the end of the week she was sounding horrible and just laying around not wanting to play or be put down. I took her back to the doctor and she had bronchitis. We then started breathing treatments, which she hated, and giving her antibiotics. I am happy to report that they are both back to normal now and FULL of energy!

This is the sad pitiful boy I had to look at. Break my heart!

Grammy and Granddaddy


Little miss sickie Madison. Look at her poor sweet eyes.



We are still waiting for the right family to come along to buy our house. I am sure with all the snow in the area it will be a while before people are out looking again. Andrew is now in Bahrain on business. I have found that I am completely lost without him. I was on the computer last night and when I looked down at the time I realized it was 12:30AM. Oops! I hardly ever stay up that late. But when I don't have him to come to bed to it is just not that appealing I suppose. :) I am anxiously awaiting his return on Thursday. I told him I researched and found that Bahrain was know for it's pearls, so I expected him to bring me some home!
Here is a map to show exactly where he is. Great place to be right now huh!?!? Actually they say it is relatively safe there. :)




Madison turned 9 months old last Friday!!! Can you believe it! She is crawling around full speed and now she is able to pull herself up using the furniture. It is only a matter of time before she takes off walking! No teeth yet, but I think they will pop up anytime with the way she is chewing of things. Plans for her 1st birthday party are underway!!!






Okay so now do me a favor please. If you feel like it leave me a message or something so I can see who is reading and if it is worth my time to keep this blog up. Thanks!
