monday.

yesterday brought a first for me.  an ear infection diagnosis AND PNEUMONIA FOR MAX.

what!?  are you flipping out?  yes.  me too. me too.  i might have cried when the pediatrician came in.  she was listening to his chest and said, "does he got to daycare?".  i knew then.  i said, "no.  his brother goes to mothers day out.  and his dad works at kool smiles every friday.  and they are both dirty."

she laughed.  i said, "is it rsv?"

doctor: "well....that thought crossed my mind.  but so did pneumonia."

cue the crying.  cue the "i'm the worst mom ever.  you would think that after two kids i would know when one was sick.  someone should take them away from me.  next thing you know i'll be smoking in the car with them WHILE THE WINDOWS ARE ROLLED UP. "

here is max. shortly after the visit/breathing treatment.



and here he is today.  after 2 doses of antibiotic.  


brother is well.  we made christmas cupcakes last night.  and set up his second tree.  this one is not real.  and has ornaments from cookie's house.  and i remember every.single.one. of them from childhood.  that's pretty awesome.  






christmas is the best.  hands down.

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
