15 wk!!!

I am 15 1/2 weeks along. I can't believe I am starting to show so soon! Things are going good. I started my praticum a few weeks ago. It has been a BIG adjustment for everyone, but we are starting to get more used to it. Landen has been sooo tired since changing around his sleep times. He went to bed the other night at 6:30pm slept straight through until 6:00 the next morning, his teacher at daycare said he fell asleep during lunch, and then he took a 2 hour nap! Last night he slept 11 1/2 hours, took a 30 minute nap this morning, and then a 3 hour nap this afternoon! He is sooooo funny! He has begun to really talk. He knows a ton of words and says them daily, and I can actually understand what he is saying, which is so fun! He has such a cute little voice.

Anyways, here is my 15 week belly picture!



A few pics of baby! They said that baby is right where baby should be as far as weight. Landen was always behind!

Baby sideways, looking right at the camara. You can see the eyes and mouth!

A few pics of the little guy! Not so much little anymore. He is getting soooo big, and starting to really test us with his behaviors. Such a stinker. Playing in the snow from a few weeks ago!

Hope all is well! :)

What a month!!!

This past few weeks has been extremly interesting. Here's the breakdown. . .

1. Found out landen had a double ear infection

2. Put on meds

3. Within a week, Landen was rushed to the hospital twice, because he had such a horrible reaction to the meds. His poor little body looked broken. Literally, he was red to the point where it looked like a third degree burn, his joints were all swelled so bad that he could hardly move or walk, then because the swelling his whole body was bruised. It looked like we threw him against the wall a thousand times.

4. After all the family drove in the middle of the night and met us at the hospital (it was already our second visit) the doctors put in on a steroid. Poor guy was at times in so much pain all he could do is lay on someone's chest, and mind you he didn't want to be touched at the same time. He ate/drank hardly anything for two days straight.

5. Then the effects of the steroid kicked in an we then moved into having a wild child who was still in pain.

6. Two days after the hospital visits, we left for our long two week "vacation" for Christmas and New Years. This was an adventure in itself, with a sick, yet crazy kid because of the meds.
So now, we are back in our house, getting a little more sleep! Thankgoodness he feels better now!

Here are some pictures of the event. I was too tired to take pictures when things got really bad. For some reason all of the pictures are of his legs. His little face was so sad. His eyes were all red and puffy, his ears looked like dumbo. :(

Like I said, these pictures only show a little bit of what happened! It was crazy. In the mean time we went for an ultrasound of baby #2. Although this pic was taken at 10 weeks, I am currently 13 weeks! :)

A few other pics. Landen LOVES the snow!

And not such a big fan of Santa yet.

Too many Christmas pics to post so a few of the aftermath. Landen with his new Elmo backpack for school! :)

Landen loves to help mommy cook. He LOVED his kitchen from Santa!

After Chirstmas we went down to Nashville where my brother lives. We had a great time. Can't wait to go back.

Things are going good now. I start my praticum next monday full time. I do not look forward to putting landen in a daycare full time, and on top of that, i'm getting paid nothing!!! I am starting to get more excited about baby #2. I hope to take a prego picture soon to post. Yes, I am already starting to show! Unreal! With Landen I didn't start to show until around 21 weeks.

Until later ~~ Hugs!
