Snow Day #13

Today is our 13th snow day and tomorrow is number 14. I love spending time at home with Kyle and Ava, but I'm really sad thinking about how many days of our summer break will be spent making these snow days up.

Yesterday we all three bundled up and headed out to the doctor's office. I knew for a fact that Ava had a sinus infection and Kyle went to make the call. Before he did, he said he really thought I should see the doctor as well. I do not like going to the doctor! I try not to complain too much when I don't feel well and just try to let my body fight off any sickness that may come. However, I had told Kyle that I had a lot of tight, pressure in my chest and it really hurt to breathe. My whole body was achy too, and he knew that wasn't a good sign. I started to worry that I had pneumonia. So, Kyle went ahead and made a doctor's appointment for all three of us. (His ear was hurting badly.)

We were seen pretty quickly at the doctor's office. Ava went first. Everything looked and sounded good, but guess what? She had a sinus infection. I asked if we could have amoxicillan since it's the only antibiotic that seems to work, and she went ahead and prescribed it to her.

Next it was my turn. She said my lungs and chest sounded fine, but she seemed a little shocked when looking in my throat. She said I had a LOT of drainage in my throat and told me I have bronchitis. Fun again. I was already on an antibiotic for a bladder infection we discovered last week, so she went ahead and prescribed me a different one that should clear up the bronchitis. I still have quite a bit of pressure in my chest and it doesn't feel very good when I breath, but I definitely feel better than yesterday.

Kyle was last. He's got fluid on his ear. No infection, just fluid. She gave him some weird nose spray.

While we waited for our prescriptions to be filled, we went to the mall to kill some time. We ended up eating lunch there. (Me-Subway, Kyle and Ava-Wendy's). After we ate we let Ava ride on the carousel and the duck and Nessie the dragon(?). She had a good time. We were also able to get some clothes for her, which is good because she's outgrown everything!

So yesterday afternoon and today we've been resting and playing and trying to get over all this junk. It's no fun to see your baby sick.

Also.....what about all this snow? I mean, seriously, I don't know when I've ever seen so much snow. We were really looking forward to going to small group tonight, but went ahead and cancelled it for safety's sake.

I made some snow cream tonight and Ava loved it! Kyle's already begging for more, so maybe I'll make another batch tomorrow for them!

Well, with all these snow days maybe I'll find some time to blog a little. However, I don't have too many topics since we're snowed in! Oh well! Stay safe and warm, everyone!

My Lovely Baby Bump!

My belly is getting bigger and bigger each day. Even though I haven't gained any weight by the doctor's scale...it's definitely growing. There has been a request to see the baby bump, so here it is in all its glory! Enjoy! This is me today at 16 weeks.

One Down, Two More to Go!

This week, we reached the second trimester of the pregnancy. I was very excited to meet this milestone for two main reasons...1st you can breathe easier because the baby will most likely be healthy and less chance of miscarriage and 2 nd there is hope that morning sickness will be gone! Don't get me wrong, I wasn't as sick as some people who throw up 3 or 4 times a day, but just about every day all day I was nauseous and queasy-I only actually got sick 3 or 4 times a week. It really is true what women say, it seriously goes away as soon as you hit the 2nd trimester! What a relief! Not too much is going on here. We are just trying to be patient and wait to find out the gender of our baby. Some days it seems like the days and weeks are flying, but then other days it seems like it is going slowly. I just can't wait to call and pray for our baby by name. On a much funnier note, I think I will now include some of the awesome advice I have recieved from my 4th grade st

Baby #2 is On the Way!

Yay ! We are having another baby! This has been a terribly hard secret to keep for the past few weeks, but now we can shout it out! Yesterday we went to our first doctors appointment and then did about 6 hours of telling our huge family. Here's how our day went: Our appointment was at 9. We registered, sat down for 1 minute, and then we got called back to get the ultrasound. I had never had an ultrasound this early with Ava, so I really didn't know what to expect. The ultrasound lady just keep looking at this screen and there would be a beeping sound every so often and we were all so quiet for at least 5 minutes, it could've been an hour though. One thing I don't like is silence. And there was a lot of silence. The ultrasound tech and Kyle were both staring at the screen with straight faces, so at that point I started praying and waiting more. Finally, she turned the screen for me to see, and there it was. This tiny little baby...the head, the body, I could
