month of February

This month has been a little overwhelming with taking kids to the doctor once and every other week, twice!
Hunter
(last week)Monday: I took him to the doc. and they gave him a steriod. By Wednesday, he was coughing with a runny nose, & the croupe cough was clear.
the following sunday: Jacob had a double ear infection with the right ear being worse. He was on ogmenten for 10 days, and he was getting better so we went back in after the 10th day, and he had another double ear infection! This time, it was the left ear was worse.
After going back and forth to Pleasant Grove with in 2 1/2 weeks, I was tired of doc's~!!
Now, Jacob has had a cough and runny nose since Friday!

On top of that, I decided that Jacob was pretty close to being potty trained, and I was so anxious to put him in underwear and eventionally not worry about buying diapers anymore. I knew that it wouldn't be a full success over night. So, I started around 9:30 Sunday morning. He was having accident after accident every hour and even earlier. I was getting really discouraged and frustrated with cleaning up pee. But, the good thing was that Jacob would come up to me after having the accident and tell me where he peed.
Today is Monday, and he is doing really well with going to the potty. I changed 4-5 pairs of underwear the whole day. I will keep going for the rest of the week. Hopefully, he will be fully potty trained by the first of March!!
Wish me luck!! :)
Oh! One last thing that happened this month. Hunter lost his two bottom teeth!! I can't believe that he is growing up so fast and maturing. I wouldn't know what to do without him in our live!
We love you hunter!
Well... it's 8:30 and i am heading off to work now, so I will post more soon!
have a good night!

WAY TOO LONG!

okay... it's been way too long since I updated this blog! Honestly, i'm not very creative and i'm sooo behind that as of right now, i don't think that I can remember everything... so i will do my best as just start out as of 2 weeks ago...
Friday, 22nd of October, Hunter has his ear tubes removed. We had to be at the Surgical Clinic at 6:45 that morning. Ryan's mom took care of Jacob for us while we were there with Hunter.
We had to change hunter's clothes into a gown and slippers. he was so cute but didn't know what to think about the slippers. :)
About 20 minutes later, the doctor came and talked to us, and said that it would be a quick surgery. Because the eartubes didn't fall out on their own, they had to go in and put a patch over the hole. Hunter was sitting on my lap, and then the nurse said" okay, let's go hunter", and he wouldn't let go of me and started to have heavy melt down! Finally, the nurse took him away and he was reaching out to me crying and saying "mommy, mommy"! It broke my heart that he had to go through surgery again, but I knew that it would be better in the long run..
Ryan and I waited about 20 minutes and the nurse called us in to the recovery room, and he was sound asleep. The nurse keeped saying that he would wake up being really wrestless and be really mad, but when he woke up, he proved us all wrong. He woke up slowly, and I took him and cuddled with him, and it took him 10 minutes to come out of it. I was so proud of him. Now, he is doing really well. He hears even better than he did when he had his tubes in.

Tuesday: We took him to check his hearing again cause he failed it the first time, but he pasted his hearing test at the school lab that day.

Wednesday: he had his follow up with the ENT doctor, and the patches looked good! They are going to test his hearing and look at his ears again in February. The doctor told us that Hunter had lost 20% of his hearing, and him being behind on his speech was the main reason why he was not talking much. he also said within 6 months, he should be caught up! I am just hoping that he doesn't get any more ear infections!

Thursday: not much happened.

Friday: same.

Saturday: Halloween- My mother in laws' ward had their Trunk or Treat at 4 p.m. and was raining and then 20 minutes later the rain stopped and the sun came out. I took jacob around alone cause Hunter was really overwhelmed with so many people that he just sat in the car with his grandma. After 30 minutes of walking around and getting candy, we decided to go to my brother in laws house and go trick or treat around their neighborhood. Well, when we got there and settled, it poured and hailed!!! It was crazy~

So then we just went to ryan's grandmas' house and she gave the kids treats and then we went home and put the kids to bed.

Just 2 days ago: (tuesday) I had the oppurtunity to meet with Hunter's teacher, physical and occuapational theropists and speech theropist and they all report that Hunter is doing really well and that he has improved a TON!!!

that's it for now. I wish that I could take naps, but Jacob fights it most of the time and doesn't take naps, therefore, I can't take naps.
Well.. i hope that I made sence! I will post some pictures soon.

APRIL updates

eating at the Park in American Fork!

having a bad day...

it's been too long... again since I update our blog. I wish that I was better at it, but i'm not. April is here and almost gone.. Not alot has happened this month.

The boys are growing up like weeds! Jacob is learning new things from Hunter everyday! It can be good and bad things...

Jake has been cutting and is getting his 2 year molars. There's been several, miserable nights that he just cries. I feel bad for him cause all I can give him is tylenol and rock him.

He gets into EVERYTHING! We call him our "monkey" cause he is climbing on tables, couches and anything that he can get his hands on! I love this kid! I'm so greatful that Heavenly Father sent him down to us! We are truly lucky and blessed that he is with us today! We had a scare when he was born, but he is healthy now!

Hunter is doing well in school! He's in the 2.7-3 year stage in his comprehension/speech.. I go to parent/teacher conferences every 6 weeks or so and his teacher says that he is doing well each time that i meet with her! He LOVES to ride the bus, and sometimes he doesn't want to get off when he comes home.

In a nut shell, i'm just greatful that I have "3" boys that are wonderful! Especially a husband that works so hard, generous, loves me no matter what mistakes I make and loves his children very much!

News for Ryan and I...... well... we are just anxiously waiting to see if he got a job at Omniture! We should know on Wednesday if he got it or not!

Me....... still working at the Provo Temple! I LOVE it! It gives me that oppurtunity to get away and be with adults and just being able think deep into thought and thank my Heavenly Father for giving me the wonderful experience to work there!

That is all for right now. Here are some pictures of the boys.

Good night for now!

March

Can you beleive that this month is almost over with already! I've been the biggest slacker on updating this blog. This month, the boys and I have been passing around sicknesses.. Hunter is always the first one to get sick cause he brings home the germs from school! So we've been to doctors after doctors! Jake has had sinus infections along with diarreha and colds... one on top of the other! I think that I took him in to the doc at least 4 times within the last 3 weeks!

On the 14th, we went to mom's to celebrate my niece, Shaylee and my mom's birthday, and then Aunt Linda and Uncle Dennis had their farewell on Sunday... well.. that early morning, I was chilled, achey and my head was pounding really hard just as if someone had a hammer hitting me in the head! By 8:00 a.m. everyone was getting ready for church, and ryan, the boys and I packed up and went home. I didn't want to get anyone sick!
I was really sad that I didn't get to see everyone, but hopefully, there will be a next time soon!
ummm... what else has been going on?

Our 6th Anniversary is tomorrow (20th)!! I have the best husband! He is such a kind, funny, hard working, understanding man! He loves me no matter what I do wrong or right. I know that he loves his kids unconditionally! We're going to the outback for dinner and then a movie on saturday! I love you, Ryan!
He had an interview with Omniture on Wednesday with 5 different people! They took him on a tour of the building, just as if he was hired. He was in the interview for an hour and a half! I really hope that he gets this job! hopefully, they will be calling for a second interview on monday!
Well... other than the boys and I being sick, everything is good!
Jacob is so funny and cute! He loves to wrestle with daddy and Hunter. He does what ever his big brother does. he talks like crazy, too!
Hunter is doing ALOT better in his speech! They are both just growing up like weeds!!!
I will upload some pictures soon!
love you all! Have a good day!

January's news...

I would have to say that I am the WORSED at keeping this blog up-to-date! I can't beleive that January flew by so quickly! I have always thought that I was the worsed at keep this blog up dated....

January's news...
Ryan got demoted from his job. He was one of the team leads, and they asked him to step down, so he was on the phones for 2-3 weeks,and then the next week, they put him on probation for a month! On top of all of that, he took a 3 dollar an hour paycut. At the same time, we have been so blessed that he still has a job! I've been so humbled to know that the Lord has blessed us in so many way! Even though it's hard at times.
Just last week, he spoke with the Vise Pres. of the company and Ryan requested a workforce position that was coming available that he knew about cause the guy was leaving, so the vice pres. thought that it was a good idea for ryan to take the position, Ryan had to apply for it. It took about a week to find out if he got it. Yesterday, he was trained for the last couple of hours of his shift.

Today, February 4th, 2010, he started to train for the job. I am so proud of him! He is such a wonderful husband, friend, and father! I am so greatful that I have him as my husband! He is a dedicated and hard worker! I love you, Ryan!

I know that it's been along time...

okay... can I just tell you that it's been so crazy lately?? I haven't been able to sit down and update my blog.
Life is good... The boys are growing like weeds!! Hunter is 4, and is loving school! It seems that he's been sick alot this year. He has had several colds and now the croupe. We took him to the after hours clinic on sunday, cause his cough was so bad that he couldn't breath very well. Ryan had to go and buy a humidifier at walmart at midnight, cause the motor got ruined by water.
More about hunter.... He is such a good kid!! He's really mellow and shy. Any strangers that comes around, he'll either cry and hide, or growl with a mean look!! Then... maybe he will warm up to you. It's kindof funny in a way.. but i'm hoping that he grows out of that one.
He weighs 48 pounds, and is 45 inches tall! He's basically the size of a 1st grader!! He is such a cute boy, though.

*loves to play with his brother.
*He loves to watch seasame street(especially elmo)
*He loves his grandparents
*He loves cats and dogs.

He wieghs 22 pounds and is 32 1/2 inches long! He smiles alot! He has 4 teeth on top, 3 on the bottom and 2 molers! He has had a rough time teething. It's either swollen, red gums and cheeks, or diarrahea! He's our little trooper!
When he was born, he was 5 weeks early, and had pnemonia. He was in the hospital with a venilator for a week! It was really hard to sink it in that we wouldn't be able to bring him home for a while.
We love him dearly, and are so glad that both of our boys are in our lifes!!
*He feeds himself.

What else has been going on? ... We had a christmas party with ryan's extended family that they have yearly. It was good. I think that the boys had a good time. Hunter wasn't to pleased to sit on santa clause's lap, and jacob just gave him dirty looks and stared at him for a long time! It was so funny.
Other than that, not much has been going on. Just getting ready for christmas! It was been a busy month, but a good one!
I want to thank my Heavenly Father for all of the blessings he has given us! We have been so blessed in so many ways! I'm so greatful for my family!I love you all! Thanks for the support that you give to us! Yes, Even the ones that live in Vernal!! I miss you guys!
Here are some pictures of the boys.

End of October News

Okay, so i am really bad at blogging and keeping it up-to-date. So much has been going on, that i hope that I don't forget anything, so here it goes..

So, as soon as the cold weather hit, we all got sick with colds and the stomach flu. Then... Hunter got sick from school a days later, and a week later, Jacob got the same thing. I, all of a sudden had stomach problems and had to go to the doc. for that. Anyway.. we have all battled with the flu and colds. Hopefully, it's over for awhile!
On Friday afternoon and part of saturday, I noticed Jaocb having a tary, black stool. By the time sunday came, I started to get alittle concerned and puzzled cause he didn't have a fever, runny nose, or any syptoms that he was sick, he just had the black stool. Well.. 8 p.m. I put him to bed and he was a little hard to get to sleep cause he was fighting it, and fell asleep for about 20 minutes and then woke up screaming with pain! Ryan ran upstairs to grab him, and he hollared at me saying" take him to E.R. right now! there's something wrong!" So, I was rushing everywhere to get ready and jake ready and warm, and immediately called my mother-in-law cause Hunter was tired and Ryan was ready to go anywhere, so I went and got her.
We got at the UVMC at 9p.m. and there were so many people sick with face masks on, and hardly a seat to sit down.
We sat outside for an hour and a half before we could see a nurse. They finally put us in a room, and we waited and it seemed like it took forever for a doc to see jake. They took jacob and I back into the X-Ray room and got his chest x-rayed. Two people had to hold him still so that they could take pictures! They had to hold his arms up by his ears and he just screamed the whole time! Once that was done, the doc. came back and said that everything was normal. His stool wasn't bloody, thank goodness, but they couldn't figure out what was really wrong other than maybe that he was getting or had a virus.
To make a long story kindof short, we were at the hospital for almost 4 hours! That... was a long night!
okay... it's kindof late, and I have to go to bed. I will get caught up soon!

Ear Tubes

So... here I sit at the computer not knowing what to type... It has been kindof busy lately and I haven't been able to update our blog.


For the past 6 weeks, Jacob has had double ear infections literally one right after the other! I was taken him to the doctor every week and a half to two weeks! Finally, after giving him 3 shots one week, and 3 more the next, each day. We had to go back and forth ALOT!


Then on his birthday, he had to have a physical, and had more shots! So, it was crazy, and I wanted to cry along with him.





On August 3rd, We had to go to the ENT doctor, and he said that since Jacob had too many infections within a 6 week period, he was a good candid to get tubes put in his ears. Jacob was such a good baby for having so many ear infections, but I do have to say that all of us had several restless nights!


Today, August 20th, at 7:15 a.m. Ryan took a couple of hours off of work to support jacob and we went to the American Fork Hospital. This kid was so easy going and amazing! We went and checked in, sat in the waiting room for about 15 minutes. We then went in to another room, and we saw 4 different docs. and nurses to do paper work. We dressed Jake into a cute little hospital gown and they had bootie socks for him. He was so cute. I wanted to take my camera, but ryan said" I don't want to remember this! " So... no pictures.. sorry.


One of the RN's took him and wrapped him in his blanket, and we waited for him for 10-15 minutes total, and he was in my arms. I expected for him to cry really hard, but he just sat in my arms and i gave him a bottle of milk, and he chugged it down! Finally, We were given instructions on ear drops, etc. and left. He was so good. Ryan and I couldn't believe it!



An update on Hunter.... He is completely potty trained as of almost 4 weeks ago!! He has only had 2 wet accidents in his bed so far! He is doing really well.

He starts Pre-K on the 31st and gets to go 4 days a week! I am so excited for him... i think that him going that much will help him more with his speech!! He gets better every day.. He is so funny, and make us all smile and laugh... with his animated expressions and the way he dances... His mouth goes 90 miles an hour most days...and we can understand what he is saying maybe 30% of the time!:)

We love both of our boys and wouldn't know what to do or think if he didn't have them in our lives!

One Year Old!

Where did the year go?? I was reminded that the day before I had Jacob, I was tieing a quilt at the canyon with Ryan's family!
Jacob is such a fun and sweet baby! He has gone through alot.. being born 5 weeks early, with pnemonia and in the hospital for a week, getting sick with colds, and now ear infections..
At the same time, our family is so blessed to have him! The Lord has truly blessed us with beautiful children!
Ryan and I had close family members over at our house for cake and ice cream, and we got to sit out on the lawn and patio cause there wasn't quite enough seats for everyone to be inside.
Jake opened presents and got alot of toys, and then we had cake and Ice cream. We lit the candles that said"happy birthday" and we sang to him, and my mom had the cake just in the perfect reach of jake, and he smeared his hand in the cake! After getting his hands in the 4" inch cake that was his, he had frosting all over his hair, up his nose... and he had it EVERYWHERE! It was fun to watch him get into it though.
New things that he is doing:
*crawls and army crawls perfectly

*stands and hangs on to furniture.

*scoots along furniture.

*Loves to play with Hunter

*gets into everything!

We love you Jacob! Happy 1st Birthday!

update

ok.... I know that i'm really behind on updating this silly thing, but life has been so crazy! First of all, we found out by going to the doctor that Jacob had his 2nd double ear infection 3 weeks ago so the doc. persribed a Omnicef (a strong medicine) and he to take that for 10 days. Well... on the 9th day, he was just not looking good and he was fussy and not sleeping very well. So, my mother intuition sent me to the doc again... his left ear has cleared up, but the right ear was severely infected. The doctor said that since the meds were not working completely, that maybe the shots would work. He had to have Rociphin shots for 3 days. My sweet mother in law took me cause we only have one car, and it's also nice to have her help with the kids. The weekend went by and by monday, he was still screaming and pulling on his ears! So... I called the nurse and told her what was going on, and she said " well.. you should probably come in again and have his ears checked cause if he still has an ear infection, then he will need to see a specialist! At this point, I was overwhelmed and was having flash backs of when Hunter had tubes in his ears and then paying for the bill! NOT fun. It seemed that it took forever to pay off!


Anyway... so I called the specialists' office and told the receptionist that we needed to get in right away. She said "the doctor won't be in all week", our next available opening is at 1:30. Well.. it was only 11:30 at the time, we didn't want to go back and forth from American Fork to Springville, so we waited and come to find out when I went to sign in, the receptionist said that our insurance wouldn't pay for 2 appointments in the same day, so we had to reschedule for the next morning.


Tuesday morning, at 10 a.m. we went back to the ENT doc. and he was mostly concerned if there was fluid in the back of his ear drum... and checked them and said that they were clear!!


So Ryan and I have had basically no sleep for the last 2-3 weeks from Jacob being sick and he used to be with Hunter in our recent apartment.

July 20th... things are alot better and Jacob is over his ear infection! We'll see what happens within a couple of months if he gets another infection..

Hunter is doing well with the potty training. He goes in the morning when he wakes up and then it's hit and miss from there.

Everything is going well... this is it for now. Here are some pictures..

* 11 Months

Ryan took this picture and thought that I would post it.

Mommy and me.... at our apartment in Orem.

Hunter graduated from Pre-K at Geneva Elementry. We were so proud of him!

New Things about Jacob:

* pulls himself up to everything and scoots along furniture

* Loves his brother

* loves to eat anything that the rest of us are eating!

* loves the outdoors and to go for rides.

* starting to understand the word "NO!

* Sleeps from 8:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. and is up for the day!

* takes naps 8 and 2

Happy 11th month Jacob! We love you!

Potty Training...

On June 1st, I decided to start potty training hunter. The first weekend that we started, he pooped in the toilet! I was so suprised and excited that things were progressing so soon... well as the week went by, everytime i tried to put him on the toilet, he would throw a fit and want off. After a couple of days, and getting used to the idea that it WAS ok to go in the toilet, he would sit there on the toilet for 10 minutes at a time, and couple of times, a half hour! I would play games with him, play pee-a-boo, sing songs, and he would just laugh.
He is getting the hang of it, and i'm so glad that we won't have to buy diapers for him anymore.
I'm so proud of him. More about him....He is getting so much better with his speech..... he just started ESY( extended summer year ) school. He gets on the bus at 7:30 a.m. school starts at 8:30 a.m. and he gets out at 11. He will go for two weeks out of this month, and then we are moving! Another tranistion! New everything!
We are moving to Springville, where Ryan grew up. We found a Duplex to rent. It will be really nice to get a little more room to breath. We are pretty excited. We have been in our apartment for 5 years, and after having 2 kids, there just isn't any more space to put anything. So, I have started to pack the few days.

News on Jacob... He has discovered that he can stand up in his crip. Ryan and I had to put the matress to it's lowest setting so that he won't fall out, and he tries to put himself up to the furniture, but gets quite frustrated and falls. He is such an active little boy! He will be walking before I know it!
He amazes me how he just wants to go all of the time. Hunter was a very mellow kid and wasn't like jake until he was over a year old.
oh well, they are both lots of fun. They are growing up so fast.
That's all for now. I will post pictures soon.

10 Months

ok... so it's been a while since I up dated our blog. I'm not very good at keeping it updated.... so here it goes.

Jacob is 10 months now, and every month it blows me away of how much he grows and progresses with new things that he does. He just started to get on his hands and knees and rock back and forth. I'm sure that he is just going to take off very soon!
His two teeth finally broke through just a little bit.
He gets into everything! He loves to be outside. As soon as he sees the door open, he is half way out before I know it.

Now, about Hunter. I started potty training him a week ago, and I was always missing him needing to go the bathroom. Well... Saturday night at around 7 p.m. I sat him on the toilet, and we played games and I made him laugh, and then all of the sudden he was pushing... yes he went poop! :) I couldn't beleive it! I was so proud of him. Now, I get to go to the dollar store so that he can pick something out. Hopefully, he will be more motivated to go pee when he needs too.
I thought that it would take a long time for him to go, but he did it! We are so proud of you hunter!
I am going to try to get some pictures of the boys on the blog very soon.
We went to the park to have a birthday party for Ryan's sister that is turning 40!! There were lots of people there and we had a good time.
anyway.... that's all that I can think of that is going on right now.

He loves his brother, hunter! Hunter has been such a wonderful, big brother since Jacob was born.

I don't think that I'm quite ready for him to crawl, but I don't think that I have a choice! :) He is so fun. He is such a happy baby! I can't beleive that he will be 9 months soon!

I took a video of him army crawling, but for some reason it's not working. I'll have to have my husband work on it!

update

Well... I thought that I would hurry and up date while I had a minute. It's been a crazy couple of weeks. To start off, the good news is that Ryan got a $500 cash bonus last Thursday! I was so excited for him! They had the oppurtunity to go to Sundance for lunch with all of the supervisors and the vise president of the company! I am so proud to have a husband that works so hard!
I had to pick Ryan up from work cause I had the car and he gave me a card with cash in it! My jaw dropped and was so suprised! I asked him if we could go and get a wii and a wii fit, and he instantly said yeah, lets go get one! We have been wanting a wii and wii fit since Christmas, and we finally got one! Well, as soon as we got home, Ryan hooked it up and we started to do the games and the aerobics. It's really fun and we use it everyday! :)

News on Jacob:
He started to army crawl! Today was his first time figuring it out! He goes everywhere! i think that he is going to get up and crawl soon! It's cute though!

Ryan has been sick with strepthroat for 4 days! Yep, his paycheck is going to kick us in the butt,oh well.. It will all work out.
Well... i will post pictures very soon.
I need to go so that the baby can go to bed.
love you all!

More pictures of Jacob

Jacob's eating a ritz cracker! He loves them!

He is sqealing! He loves to make noise and hear his own voice!

Hi! I have sweet potatotes and prunes up my nose

This is what jacob looks like at the end of feeding him sweet potatoes! I never can keep him clean!

Continued pictures are above:

Ryan and I can't believe that he's getting so big so fast!

*8 months*

Jacob was so tired that after finishing his bottle, he fell asleep! i thought that this was so sweet. We bought a 6-12 month outfit for an early Easter gift from the "Easter Bunny" cause he doesn't have and church clothes. Both boys have yellow outfits and they look so cute together!

Jacob turned 8 months on Friday! He just keeps growing like a weed. I have more and more people say that he looks like me! :O)

He is getting to be more fun everyday. He isn't completely sitting up yet. He still has a round bumb! :) We sit him on the floor and he just folds in half or falls over. He will get there soon.

He is also still teething. It's been a drag for me cause he started two months ago. He has been busy biting everything!

He is rolling everywhere! He gets alittle frustrated that he can't get things out of his reach, but he always figures it out. He's a smart boy. I'm very glad to have him in my life and in our family! He makes me smile everyday and makes me feel better when I'm having a rough day.

Here are some pictures of him. Enjoy!

getting caught up!

I haven't been able to up date our blog cause life seems to busy and hectic lately, especially the last few weeks.

Almost 2 weeks ago, it was ryan and i's 5 yr anniversary!! Yooray! Our anniversary was on a friday, and we celebrated it on saturday.

We had a good time celebrating it. We went to the mall and got a couple of shirts for ryan and then we went to Red Robin for lunch, and then we went to the matinee'. The movie we saw was "The Knowing", with Nicholas Cage. It was good, and it kept you on the edge of your seat most of the movie. Very tense movie. We were so tired of an all day activity that we came home and took an hour nap! That was not intentional to take that long of a nap, cause the kids were at my inlaws all day. We had to go grocery shopping and take it home and unload it and by the time that we picked our kids up, it was 9:00p.m.!

Hunter spent the night at my in-laws for the second time in a year and a half! My mother in law always loves to have hunter over to stay with her.

I don't know what I would do with out wonderful in-laws that take such good care of us and our kids!! Thanks Mom for everything!

Well this week was kindof crazy... Not much happened on Monday and Tuesday. Hunter went to school on Wednesday and had a good day. Thursday morning, I went into the doc to see why my blood sugar has been out of control. Long story short, after tell him what symptoms I was having, I had asked him he thought that maybe it was post pardum depression. Yeah, it is. So i'm on Zoloft just til July, which it's bad. I didn't realize but the last few months I was getting bad.

Well..Thursday afternoon , Hunter didn't take a nap. ( which is decreasing fast) and I noticed that he wasn't eating much through out the day. He was really cranky went to bed early (9pm.) which doesnt happen very often either. That night at around 3 a.m. Jacob woke up hungry, so i fed him a 6 oz. bottle, and then put him to bed. Not long after that, Hunter decided to climb into our bed. When he got in on my side, he was alittle warm, but I didn't think anything of it. Who does when your half asleep??

So, he is such a wiggle worm, and all night he was back and forth to his room to ours, and then in and out of our bed. Finally, he gave up and fell asleep on our floor. I took him into his own bed shortly after he fell asleep. Then, by 7 a.m. he was up for the day. Ryan and I noticed that his ears were bright red, and so ryan felt him and said"honey, hunter is burning up"! I took his temp, and sure enough it was 101.1. Yep, he was sick. I felt so frustrated cause this was the last thing that I needed. I guess i needed more sleep.

Saturday: Hunter seems to be feeling alot better today. He hasn't fevered at all. He is still not eating much, which is normal. We stayed in the house all day. It was pretty boring, and hunter was begging to go outside. Now, Ryan is getting it! I think that's going to go around eventually, we'll see what happens!
