Mommyhood isn't all sparkles & sunshine

Sometimes it can make you feel like a complete failure. One wrong or too late decision can make a huge difference. I almost didn't take Logan to the ER last night. Why should I have? He had a bad cough and he was hoarse, but the hoarseness could have been from all the coughing. The coughing was just a viral infection, same one that caused his SECOND ear infection in the past month. You can't do anything about viral, except let it run its course. He was already on augmenten, the second strongest antibiotic. But I went, I risked exposing him to even sicker people, b/c he was just pitiful. His weak cry, hoarse cry broke my heart, and I finally gave in and went at about 10:30. We were only there for about 2 hours, we didn't wait long b/c a baby breathing hard at only 4 months old gets first priority, unless someone walks in missing a leg or something.

So the nurse hears wheezing, the DR. doesn't, but he orders an x-ray. Well, its pneumonia. Beginning stages, my paranoia caught it early and he didn't have to be admitted. What if I wouldn't have went, I almost didn't!! He didn't even have a fever!! Pneumonia can kill people, if I would have waited one more night.... how bad would it have been? He got a booster shot of antibiotics and a stronger prescription. His cough and breathing are better today and hes still a smiling, laughing, cooing, happy boy. It breaks my heart that he can feel so yucky but still wanna talk and smile at us. Mommy's little trooper, I know it has to hurt him to breathe. I guess I'm gonna have to quarantine my children. They never go anywhere, EVER, none of my kids are in daycare... I just don't understand how he can have this. We literally NEVER leave the house. If I have errands, I wait until their daddy gets home. So, in all my mommy protectiveness, I'm gonna start attacking everyone who walks in my door w/ Lysol. Don't think I'm kidding, when DH walks in the door from work today, I'll have the hand sanitizer and Lysol can waiting.

Sigh, well now that my self pity rant is OVER, I'm making up for missing yesterdays' picture today as well as posting today's picture. Yesterday was kinda hectic so I never got around to getting on here. So day 9 and 10 will be... drum roll please.... the first picture is Rileigh & Logan, and the second picture is just Logan being cute, my sweet, blue-eyes baby boy.

Day 9

Day 10

Beanie Time!!

So, Natasha, the siggy legend, has numerous other talents. Such as her well known siggies, photography, and crocheting! Yes, I received Logan's GORGEOUS beanie today and was able to squeeze one lone pic out of my camera. Yes its still dead, and thats a negative on finding the charger. He looks toooo cute in it and I'm totally adoring it right now!!!!!!! So picture for day 8, is Logan modeling his beanie. Totally ignore the scared look on his face, I'm sure he'll walk early just to escape the range of my camera. ;)

Mr. Almost Birthday Boy...

was NOT being cooperative today!! I need cute pictures to do his invitations, would he look at me, no; would he smile, thats a BIG negative. So, he's up from his nap now and I'm about to try and tackle the task again. Oh wait, I CAN'T! I can't find my camera's battery charger. Sometimes I feel like with each child more of my brain cells died. Ahh, but when I think about it, I'd give a lot more up to be able to keep them. SO, on day 7, I'm sharing one of the only decent pictures Gavin would let me get, its the very first one.



Also, Logan is 4 months old today, if the time doesn't slow down, I may have to track down father time and have a nice talking to with him. ;)



and as promised, Mr. Almost Birthday Boy, Gavin Thomas.

Gonna be buusyyyy

I wanted to post this now, before I got consumed in my present and posted late again or not at all!! So heres the way it worked, my co-host on JM, Susan, doesnt (didn't) read a whole lot, but Dear John is a great book, so I secretly ordered it and had it shipped to her. I had her address from the secret santa thing in our playroom. So, she read it, loved it, and bought "The Lucky One" from the same author! I haven't read it yet, so she returned the favor. So, picture for Day 6 is what I'll be doing the rest of the day!! Thanks again, SOOO much if you're reading this Susan!! :D :D :D

Cloth ba-hoottiiieeee

This is a little late again, but I have a GOOD reason!! Today I got done, cleaning the whole house, washing and folding and hanging up all the laundry, and I was WAYYY too far behind, so just the folding and what not took almost 2 hours!! Of course I was a little distracted by the movie I was watching. I also cleaned out the summer and too small clothes from the boy's dressers (I did Rileighs right before I had Logan), I finally tackled Rileighs messy room w/ her assistance, and I had to feed, bathe, and dress the kids for bed. My poor dh was on call tonight and as SOON as he opened the door to walk in from work, his nextel went off. He JUST got home, literally, and its 3am. :o



But, back to the title of my blog.... Yep, no more sposies!! He looks wayyyy too cute in them, they are soo comfy and I adore them. I guess I'll know for sure if the washing and all that will make them worth it. He's also uber long!! He's gonna be a tall man. Robert's dad was like, 6'2 or something like that. I definitely think Logan is gonna be taller than his daddy. lol



Here is my picture for Day 5.

I'm 15 mins late

so this post still counts for the 4th dern it!! I had a busy day. lol.

My daughters fish died and she seen it and told me he was sleeping. Hopefully if I keep her busy enough tomorrow daddy can sneak a new one in before she realizes hes been sleeping too long. Two years for a fish, thats a good life right?!?

SO, Logan is sick, my poor sweet baby, and he was all cuddled up on my best friend Jessica. Of course shes 37 weeks pregnant and Everlee (her little girl-to-be) thought kicking Logan while he slept was just the bee knees. ;)

Day Tres

of my 365 day challenge. What do I want to post a picture of? My hubby in long johns making pasta, thats a negative. Me w/ no make-up on or my sleeping (not really sleeping yet, just laid them down for a nap) older children? Another negative. So I'm gonna grab my camera and snap Logan. Hes sick and doesn't feel very well, but it doesn't diminish his cuteness. :D
