Super Sickness

Our poor, poor baby has tested positive for RSV. We are so sad, but thankful that she got it when she was older versus when she was younger. If she would have had it when she was really little she would've had to be put in the hospital. Kyle stayed home with her one day this week, my dad and step mom watched her the next day, and I'm home with her today. Her cough sounds terrible.

The doctor said she felt that the worst was over because her chest sounded good and all. She gave us instructions to give her some medicine for her cough called Corzall, tylenol and ibuprofen for fever and pain relief, Vaporub at night, nasal spray and suction all day long, and have her sleep with a cool mist humidifier. So we've done all that for about three days now and I feel so discouraged that her cough is not any better.

Although I don't understand why she's not doing better, I am so thankful to know that God is in control of this situation! He is perfect and holy and able to do anything. We keep praying that He would remove this virus from her so she can get back to her old self! Please pray that Ava gets to feeling better soon! Prayer is powerful!

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.

The Week is Here!

We can't believe this is the week we will see our daughter. Some of you may be thinking, "What? How do you know? Your due date isn't even until next week!" Well, let me update those of you who may be thinking this. Last week, on Wednesday, we went to the doctor, hoping and praying that my body would be showing some progress towards having a baby. The doctor checked and informed us that the baby is still kinda high, and that I'm not 1 cm dilated, but I'm not 0 cm either. So she told us it was time to make a plan. Here's what she came up with. She said that if I am dilated 2-3 cm by this Wednesday, then she'll send me over to the hospital right then and start inducing me. But, if I'm not 2-3 cm then the following day, Thursday, she would do a c-section. She knew we were going to be on Fall Break and that we'd love to spend a couple of free extra days off with Ava so she said we could do it this week. She's going out of town on Fri...

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 ...
