Updates

We went to the OB dr yesterday, and after a little scare, everything is ok. At first they couldn't get the heartbeat, so they done an ultrasound. There was the little one, kicking around, just as active as can be. Everything looked fine and we got to hear the heartbeat through the ultrasound...what a relief! The Dr did inform me that I would not even have a chance to labor this time, and they would do a C-section around 39 weeks. Apparently the risk is higher for complications after 2 previous c-sections. I am against it, but I will do whatever is best for the baby and myself.

As for Sawyer, he still is very irritable. Saturday he was vomitting, who knows why? I don't know if it was a stomach virus or what. But that goodness it is GONE! The ears are another issue...don't know what is going on with them. He has been on his antibiotic for 9 days and is still pulling at his ear. Today he has been a little cry baby ALL DAY! I think it was the formula we switched him to. He didn't spit up or anything, I just think he didn't like the taste. Then when we tried to feed him, he tried to slap it out of your hand....so WHO KNOWS?

Spencer is fine, as usual and is as happy as can be since he has a christmas tree in he and Sullivan's bedroom. He has begged for a couple of days now, so it is finally done! Check that off my list of things to do, but the list doesn't ever get any shorter. That's just life I guess.

HAVE A GOOD WEEK!

Happy 8th Birthday Sullivan & Happy Thanksgiving

Today we celebrated Sullivan's 8th birthday and thanksgiving. Things were going ok until Tim got sick around 4am. Apparently he didn't follow the directions on some medicine he took. WELL....he paid for it all day. He got up long enough to go to the cemetery and put out the balloons and stuff, deep fry the turkey, lay back down, release balloons, lay back down until 8pm then got up just long enough to sing happy birthday to Sullivan and cut the cake and he's back in bed. Poor guy! He didn't eat ANYTHING all day long. He sure better rest up, 4am comes very early tomorrow for shopping!

We had my parents and siblings over for lunch today... Minus Mike, Lyndsey and Aleah, they were sick with the stomach virus. Special thanks to those who stopped by to visit us, my parents, Ant+Trixie, Wendy, Michael, Elizabeth, Leslie, Emma & Trent. We know you think about us and realize how hard days like this can be. I guess some people still haven't figured out what life and family is all about...maybe ONE DAY!

Family Fun Day

We have successfully completed another Family Fun Day in memory of Sullivan's birthday. We raised just under $2000 + the BCBS donation of $1000 and we raised close to $3000. Thanks to all who assisted in making this day a success. We appreciate all of your help. What a wonderful way to remember Sullivan's birthday. Sorry no pictures. Linda Rabon was our photographer and is working on something special for me. Hopefully I can post something later ;)

Have a great thanksgiving week!
