So blessed.

I love my son and think he is the most handsome devil-angel in the world! He has the sweetest disposition, loves to make anyone smile at him, and well, I think he's pretty darn cute! He is so laid-back and easy going and always has a smile on his face. How did we get so lucky!?!? It hit me today how much he has grown and that his new developments like throwing a ball and learning new words are just a sign and reminder that he's not much of a baby anymore. He is forever learning how to bat his pretty lashes and squint his eyes just right to make me give him a grin so he can get a way with doing something he shouldn't be. Or how to cut his eyes and give me a devilish grin that says "just watch me mama". Even in those moments, I can't help but love him and praise God for this little man. Chris and I can't wait for each new day to see what he will learn next.
I know some of you are just thinking "Wait til the teenage years hit.", well bring 'em on. God has helped us thus far and I have no doubt He'll help us through the roughest of hormonal rages.

(*Note, I am not above retracting this post at a later date due to my son growing up to be a turdly teenager. :) just kidding)

Whew...what'a week!

In case you haven't heard...we spent the entire afternoon Sunday in the ER with Kins. When we checked in he had a temperature of 105 degrees and was breathing very shallow. We had to watch him be poked, needled, and x-rayed. It was the saddest thing I have ever seen. My little man looking all pitiful and helpless and Chris and I were at a loss of how to make him feel better. The contraption they put him in to take his chest x-ray was scary. It looked like a torture device because there was a tube that snapped around him while he held his arms over his head. The tech that did his x-rays was super nice and we found out she had twins that were just getting over RSV. Her son ended up with pneumonia but her daughter did not. She said it would take about 10 days for him to really get over it. All of this was just scary. I have heard of several friends with babies that have had RSV but until now have not fully understood how serious it can be. The fever alone was scary enough! To think he could develop pneumonia!?
We took him for a check up today and found out that he has a double ear infection. The doctor said his chest sounded good and he was good with how that was clearing up but he changed his antibiotic to something stronger to fight the ear infection. Hopefully he is on the mend and will be his spunky self in no time!
Thank you everyone for your prayers, they have been heard, and are greatly appreciated.
