Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween guys and ghouls here are few pics from the last couple of days.

Sick, Sick, Sick

I must confess that we are pretty lucky neither Dusty or I get sick very much. We must have strong immune systems and I think Brier has inherited that from us. thankfully. But, sometimes ya just get sick and that was the case for us this weekend of course during our only and first family vacation. We headed up to Colorado to see Dusty's grandmother since she is in a nursing home and has never seen Brier. I truly had great ambitions for this trip and was looking very forward to it. Little did I know what was ahead of us. We left Thursday morning bright and early, 4 am to be exact made it up there great, and Brier did so good the car ride up. Friday went smooth it was Dusty's birthday so we drove over to Cripple Creek and he gambled a little while I pushed Brier around in the stroller window shopping and Brier enjoyed that. But then came Saturday, Brier was a little cranky all day and then we went to eat with Dusty's grandfather around 3 our time and Brier got sick while eating so I went and sat in the pickup with him and he just couldn't quit throwing up. So we stopped at Walgreen's and got pedi-lite and anti-nausea medicine and headed to the hotel. Needless to say after a couple of hours of Brier throwing up every few minutes we went to the ER sat in the waiting room with the sickest baby until an hour or so Dusty went and politely but strongly asked the nurses to do something, anyway the doctors and nurses were all very nice to us and went ahead gave me a prescription also in case I got it. We finally left the ER around midnight our time and Brier was much better. He was at least keeping the pedi-lite down and we were diagnosed with the stomach flu, yuck. And of course then I get it but I'm so thankful that we made it home before I got it Sunday night. And thanks mom for taking care of us babies, me and Brier. Oh, Brier was wonderful on the trip ride home also, he didn't get mad not once about me making him ride 9 hrs in a car seat and especially for a bad as he felt. Poor baby, I really fell guilty for dragging him up there, if I could have only seen into the future.

I'm going to try to post a few pictures we took while up there.

Just a bunch of pictures

We took Brier to his first fair, I hate the Fair but I wanted him to experience it. He wasn't impressed. We ran into Seth and Missy and Chad and Traci so everyone had to ride a the bull. I only got a few pictures between wrestling Brier he was getting tired by this point.

Dusty

He didn't like it.

He liked the carousal better once he figured out that Dad was staying on with him.

Am I tall enough?


1st Haircut, he's so cute.
Thanks, Dixie!
He was so still, I couldn't believe it. I'm sure next time he'll be all over the place.

Sorry it's blurry.

Just doing a little business, with my pen, paper and phone.


Just being silly.

Just a little update

I went to the doctor on Tuesday and everything looks good, she's weighing heavy a little already, she is right at a pound but he did confirm again for me that she's a girl and I got another picture showing us, I won't post it though. Dusty got to fell her move for the first time last night, actually twice. The first time his eyes just got big and then the second time he didn't say anything just smiled and then walked off. I guess you're more excited about the little things on the second one because you know what you are really getting when you look at your older child. Speaking of Brier, he's doing good, into everything as usual. But I don't expect any more or less from him.

Oh, he is learning his body parts, he pats his elbow and says "bow-bow" and then when your ask where his eye is he winks and for his nose he scrunches it up. He's so cute.

20 Weeks - Half Way There

Woohoo, this pregnancy has flown by, I guess because I have a little fella that occupies my time. When I stop and think about what all I have to get done in the upcoming weeks I start to panic a little but then when I stop and think that I have 5 months to go still that seems like forever.

The online baby tracker says that she is continuing to grow long but is mostly just fattening up. She's also adding hair and fingernails. I go to the doctor this afternoon and will hopefully get a to see her squirming around again, she moves a lot just like Brier did. I guess that a glimpse into the future.

I think our little girl has her momma's temper already, Brier kicked me in the tummy last night and it didn't make her very happy at all, it took her awhile to calm down. I guess Brier is going to have a run for his money, it's a good thing he can run fast.

Thankfulness

First of all let me tell you how thankful I am today, as a mom you ask for nothing more than for your children to be healthy and happy. As some of you know (but most don't) Brier also had a very important appointment yesterday. At our last regular pediatrician appointment Carrie, the nurse, and also Dr. Brodbeck both heard something a little different about Brier's heart. Which is a very scary thing, we know how serious these things can be. Brier was the perfect little angel he laid there so still for the pediatric cardiologist to do a scan of his heart. Which those of you that have been around Brier for more than 30 seconds know that he runs everywhere and always at least has to have a toe moving even in his sleep. So Dr. Flippin was able to get really good pictures and I'm so happy to say that he's perfect. He has what is called an innocent heart murmur which he will grow out of. We just figure Trista told him that if you lay really still and you're a big boy that you get to go get a toy. Whatever worked, I don't care.

Also, I'm very happy to say that our little GIRL is perfect too. Yeap, it's a girl! I'm so excited to have one of each but more excited that the doctor said she looks wonderful. I think Dusty is a little scared to have a girl, he doesn't know what to do with a girl, with a boy your suppose to wrestle, rope, and fix up old pickups. Brier has him pretty wrapped around his finger so I'm pretty sure this little girl will too. Here's some sonogram pictures of her. And no we don't have a name yet, sorry.

profile picture, she looks just like Brier did, and no they don't all look the same right

her feet, ahhh, aren't they cute

and it's a girl, we got several shots saying it's a girl, so no doubt about it
