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!

Adley's Birth Story

I have been a little overloaded in life and let our blog go to the back burner!  But, I must write about sweet Adley's birth story just like I did with Ava and Anniston :) On June 8, after a sleepless night, Kyle and I got up and got ready to head to the hospital to meet our third precious girl.  To say I was nervous would be the biggest understatement ever.  Even though I had gone through 2 csections before, it didn't mean I wasn't scared and nervous....it's a big, scary surgery!  Mostly I was just afraid of the needle.... We arrived at the hospital, checked in, and started getting prepped for surgery.  First came the beautiful gown (I was so happy it wasn't the paper/plastic gown like I had with Anniston...I sweat to death in that gown), then came blood work and the IV, which I was not excited about....I hate needles.  And then the VERY worst part started.  Waiting.  Waiting for the magical hour of 7:30 am.  It took forever.  I was...

January's Over.....What?!?

Where has the time gone? I can not believe January is just about over. Things have been crazy busy in our home, but still great nonetheless. Ava's getting so big! She's rolling over from back to belly and belly to back, she's playing with toys (her favorite is a monkey we named Milo), she's laughing and "talking" all the time; her personality is really starting to shine through. I can't believe our baby is going to be 4 months old in about a week. CRAZY! Other updates on our girl.....she's sleeping through the night, we were blessed that she started doing that at 6 weeks ( Babywise really helped with this!) She's getting rice cereal in two bottles a day during the week and she's also taking Prevacid . Both of these are because of her horrible reflux. They seem to be helping quite a bit. She spends the weekdays with our wonderful babysitter here at home and they love each other! In March she'll start going to daycare. I am a little nervous ...

Freezer Cooking

Well, many of you know about my adventures in freezer cooking. Lots of people have asked how it works, how I do it, etc.  So, I've decided to blog about it.  I will include pictures, recipes, and a shopping list.  After all that, you will be set to try it with a group of your friends!  All of this ended up costing right around $92 per family.  We did a $50 deposit up front, and then the remaining balance was split up and paid the day we cooked.  This is enough for you and 4 friends to each go home with 17 meals in this day.  First off, let me list the meals you will make: Easy Cheeseburger Casserole (each family will go home with 2 of these) Tex Mex Chicken and Rice (each family will go home with 4 of these) Baked Chicken Fajitas (each family will go home with 2 of these) BBQ Chicken (each family will go home with 2 of these) Chili  (each family will go home with 2 of these) Chicken Casserole with Doritos (each family will go home with 2 ...
