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 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.

God Hears Our Prayers

Hey everyone! I've been anxiously waiting the day that I could let everyone know that I found a job! I'm going to be a third grade teacher at an awesome school! I'm so very excited and I have lots to learn in the next three weeks! I feel like the last three months have been such a roller coaster for Kyle and I. Yes, I say Kyle and I because a job loss does not just affect the person who loses their job, it affects the whole family. We have learned so much during the past three months. We've learned how to be strong when the other is weak, we've learned that we have a lot of prayer warriors/friends, we've learned so much about patience and prayer, but MOST importantly we have learned how the Lord can take a not so fun situation like job loss, and make that a blessing. Kyle and I have grown so close to the Lord throughout this time, and closer to one another as well. The Lord has richly blessed our marriage in the last few months and has provided in every way. We...

Now Introducing Ava Layne Brooks

Kind of fuzzy, but a great memory! It's a Girl!!! One of the only pictures of the cards I made! Yesterday was a pretty big day for Kyle and I. We had our first ultrasound and found out that we are having a precious baby girl! We were so shocked when the ultrasound tech. said it was a girl because everyone had convinced us it was going to be a boy. We were shocked but so very excited. This day was extremely emotional for me. As soon as I left school I was sobbing with joy. I just could not believe that in a few short minutes I was going to see our baby! I have honestly never been so overjoyed in all my life. The ultrasound was so fun. I laughed and cried the whole way through it. She was bouncing all over the place. We were really hoping we would get a good view of whether or not the baby was a boy or a girl an...
