Merry Christmas!

Hope you got everything you wanted...
And nothing that you didn't.Hope you played with your cousins...
And made cookies with your Pop.
Hope you treasured moments with your loved ones...
And remembered what it was all about...

Merry Christmas!


Thank you Lord for the gift of Jesus at Christmas. That you would come for one like me...I am beyond words grateful for your sacrifice and your mercy that is offered freely to all who would believe...

On the Mend


It seems Charlie is finally starting to feel better... still a bit wheezy and coughy but no fever, and the congestion is getting better. My parents and brother are on their way into town for an early Christmas weekend with us and we could not be more excited for Charlie's first first Christmas. :) May not be blogging much this week, but just wanted to say thanks for your prayers and well wishes for Charlie! And Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!

The Sad Truth

The sad truth is, all that's left of that beautiful present in the last post is the label. When you get your baby a lame present like an ear thermometer and two weeks before Christmas he gets Bronchiolitis, you should probably open the present early and use it. It came in surprisingly handy at 3 am! So much easier than what we were doing before!!! And he will still have a few presents to open Christmas morning. ;)


Poor baby has Bronchiolotis (that could be caused by RSV!!!) and Sunday night we spent a couple hours in the ER, where he was given a breathing treatment. Fortunately the breathing treatment cleared him up and they sent us home with our own precription for a neublizer, which we now call his "monster face." He screamed through the first few times, but is getting used to it now. Hopefully we will only have one or two more days left. If it is RSV though it could be a few days longer unfortunately. The good news is, he is generally in a great mood, he's sleeping surprisingly well in his carseat all night, and Paul had yesterday off so we spent a sick day mostly in PJs in front of the tv. I'm hoping this will all clear up before Christmas!
