Happy Busy New Year

Wow the last few days have been crazy! I am ready for everything to slow down and for all of us to get into our normal routines!

On New Year's Eve, we took the kids to Carlos O'Kelly's for dinner, we were joined by my mom, Zach, Grandma Rose, & Grandpa Bob also joined us. We had a great time, after dinner we came home and watched movies. I'm not sure if anyone stayed awake till midnight...maybe next year!

On Saturday, Tanner started having cold symptoms, so Sunday we had a pajama day, which was so nice and very needed! The last few weeks have just been so crazy busy, we all needed a day to relax! Monday Tanner was up playing for awhile, then he crawled on the couch and didn't move far for the rest of the night. I ended up calling the doctor's office and talking to our nurse to see what she recommend, she thought maybe he needed to be seen. He had been sick since Saturday and he wasn't eating, or sleeping well. I took him in on Tuesday, and he was put on an antibiotic, which he didn't want to take and it had to be taken with food, and we couldn't get him to eat. Tuesday night all he wanted to do was sleep, and if you know T, he does like his sleep, but he also loves to play with his toys. He ended up having a fever of 102, and it took awhile for us to get it to break. When we finally did, he was starting to act more like himself, too bad it didn't last. The last 2 days he plays for awhile, then he needs to rest for a bit, I think he might finally be feeling better..hope he continues to get over this illness, because this momma is worn out!

Wednesday we had all sorts of things planned...but with T being sick we had to change our plans a little. Chad and I both took Wed off, my dad was having his knee replaced and Chad took off to stay with the kids, while I was at the hospital. I also changed my doctor's appointment to Wed so we could take both kids with us, but luckily Grandma Lottie came to the rescue and kept the kids so Chad could go with me to my appointment. I went to the hospital and then Chad met me before my appointment. My dad's surgery went well, and we took the kids to see him tonight. I think he was happy to see the kids, and I think he was happy when we left, because he looked worn out. They got him up and walking twice today, so he was having some pain, we didn't stay long so he could get some rest. I'm hoping Tanner will be doing even better, so we can stop out at the hospital again tomorrow night.

While waiting for my dad to get out of surgery we walked over to my 22 week OB appointment. We saw the doctor that delivered Maddy, and we were able to set up my c-section and we made an appointment for an ultrasound. The baby will have a May 6th birthday, but we don't know the sex of the baby yet...the legs were crossed during the ultrasound:-( We were really hoping to find out what we are having, but no such luck. The doctor did tell me though that we might have a"reason" to have another ultrasound done, or we are talking about going to a place in Davenport just to find out. We would like to know so that we can start buying some things now, and eventually get the crib ready. I still say it's a boy. The heartbeat was 146, Maddy and Tanner both had higher heartbeats, Tanner also kept his legs crossed, so we couldn't tell with him either! I'm really just guessing boy, but for all I know it could be a girl.

Well I need to head to bed, the last few days/weeks are catching up with me.
