RSV and a Power Wheels.

This last week has been so stressful! We took Jacob to the ER on Monday for high fever. He had a fever of 105.9. They did a chest x-ray and a UA, both came back normal. They got his fever down and told us to see his primary on Tuesday. We got to his primary on Tuesday and his fever was again 105 and his oxygen saturation's were in the 80's, so we went back to the ER. They did another chest xray and drugged him up. They decided to admit him because of his fevers and low oxygen sats. We spent Tuesday and Wednesday night in the hospital. He was put on oxygen Tuesday night but came off it Wednesday morning. They diagnosed him with RSV and a secondary bacterial infection. We got to come home Thursday. Daddy couldn't take the IV's and catheterizing very well so he promised Jacob Toys R Us. We left Toys R Us yesterday with an expensive power wheels. Jacob is on medicines but he is doing a lot better. It was a scary couple days but everything turned out OK in the end.

The worst feeling in the world is seeing your child sick and not being able to make it all better.

Pneumonia can't stop him!

It's been a month since I last posted so I am sure there has been something that has happened. I did get a job. I am working at a dialysis center.... It's a job.

David and I went to the battalion ball a couple weeks ago. It was nice to be able to get all dressed up and see David all dressed up in his class A's. The ceremony was nice. I am going to blame it on pregnancy hormones but I cried when they showed the slide show of all the soldiers killed in Iraq.

Jacob has pneumonia and probably pink eye. We spent last Thursday night in the ER. We arrived around 8 pm and left after 2 am. The ER was packed! I am just very relieved Jacob wasn't admitted. He was diagnosed with pneumonia in the right middle lobe. Today when he woke up his eyes were crusted shut and they did have a child with pink eye in his daycare so I am sure he has that too. He has a doctor appointment in the morning so all those issues will get addressed.

I am already looking pregnant. I am about 13 weeks and all of those weeks are showing. The worst part is that all my maternity clothes are in North Dakota. Oh well, hopefully I can hold them off until we can make it back up north.

I better go get some cleaning done before I head off to bed.

I know I am winning when a 1 year old's temper tantrums are easily ignored.

We're doing it again!

October 18 2008...
That is the date our baby is due. Yes, we are having another baby. This wasn't totally planned but we are fine with it. Jacob will make a good big brother. I am happy to be having another baby I just wish I could skip the pregnancy part and go right to the baby part. David took a little bit to adjust. He was a little scared that we aren't financially ready for two children.
I am hoping we have a baby girl. I have my prince and now I want my little princess. I will be happy with another boy and I will love him all the same but those little pink dresses look so adorable. If this is a little girl we are done with the baby thing for a while if not for good.
I feel blessed that GOD has chosen us to be the parent's of another baby. We must be doing something right for HIM to give us two wonderful gifts of love.

Back to Fort Hood

I finally have a few free minutes!

David went back to work today. Yeah, we've been in Texas for over a week but he was enjoying his vacation. I guess PT wasn't too bad even though it was raining and muddy.

Big Guy and Nessa have vet appointments today. Nessa needs to get updated on pretty much every shot because we lost her shot record and she needs to get a microchip implanted. Big Guy just needs to get the microchip implanted. I wish we could control our dogs with those little chips not just identify them.

Jacob had the flu yesterday. I hope that's all it was. He was lying in bed between David and I yesterday morning when he threw up all over David. It wasn't spit up it was vomit. He had diarrhea the rest of the day and again twice today. Poor baby only wanted to cuddle and sleep yesterday.

We are completely moved in on post. We finally have cable and Internet. I like being all settled in.

I am job hunting again. I need to find a job like yesterday! I am going to the employment readiness center here on post today to see if they can help.

Big Guy is doing pretty good with the whole transition. Since we only feed him dog food he never farts. When he was living with David's parents his farts were the worst! He is actually a pretty calm dog and good for the most part.

Nessa is a brat as usual. She never lets Big Guy eat so now we have to separate her from him when he wants to eat. Otherwise her being a brat is usual and she is fine.

Jacob never crawls anymore and is almost running. He has an attitude and uses it often. He is such an outdoors boy and loves playing in the backyard.

I am doing great just trying to find a job.

David is fine. It's like he never left. There was no problems with him adjusting to family life.

Watching your son play in the back yard with only a diaper and socks on makes you want to drop to your knees and thank GOD for blessing you with the word "mommy".

Sorry for lack of blogging

David is home! Well actually he has been back since January 18th but I am just now finally getting a chance to sit down and blog about it. We have all fallen in to a routine quite easily. Jacob loves having his daddy home. Mommy is old news, everything is about Daddy now. I guess I should have seen it coming.
We have been back home for a while and will be heading back to Texas later this week. Once we are all settled in Texas I will be able to pay more attention to my blog.
I better get out of my pj's and start the day.
