Well, we're back again. Hotel BACH, Blanchfield Army Community Hospital, that is. Yet again, without daddy. He had to be out of town this week. It's like Kreid doesn't want to waste a minute with him home, so he waits for him to leave before he needs to go to the doctor. haha. This morning, with the rain on its way, Kreid's breathing had already began reacting. He was really noisy and working pretty hard to breathe. He responded to a breathing treatment, but was wheezing again by the time I dropped him off at daycare. He needed his inhaler more often than the normal ever four hours, so I made him an appointment. His pediatrician was not happy with the wheezing, but his vitals (oxygen level, heart rate, and respiration rate) all seemed okay. He called the on-call pediatrician to come check him out to decide whether or not to admit him... and they did. So we are staying another night for observation. His third hospitalization in two months. Thankfully they really want to find out what is causing this, and they are eager to keep a close eye on him. It is more of a relief than you'll ever know, when trying to decide whether or not your baby is breathing "enough."

Here's my sweet baby boy waiting so patiently for yet another chest x-ray. His little cheeks were red and flush from running a fever and working so hard to breathe all day.

Please say a prayer for our sweet little guy, that the doctors minds are open and that they can effectively treat Kreid's breathing, that Kreid is comfortable, and that find a medication or treatment that he will respond to.
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. --James 1:5

She's 6

It is almost unbelievable that six years ago I was flailing around as a new mother trying to figure out how to take care of this adorable little bundle. One word: clueless.

My baby girl is six years old. To ring in the occasion, we had a Hannah Montana sleepover. Fun. ha!

It was actually not as excruciating as we thought it might be. My mom came to help out, and the girls were a lot of fun. They enjoyed a fancy dinner at Taco Bell, a great Hannah Montana cake, and some craft time with granny. The best part was, Rob was home for the first time EVER for Ky's birthday. I know he would have had much more fun being somewhere else, but he was there the whole time through the giggling, the screeches and the Hannah Montana songs... over and over again.

What a great dad. What a great girl. I can't believe she is six already. My baby isn't a baby anymore. Both of her friends are older than her, and you'd never know, she's about 2-3 inches taller than both. She's growing up (literally) way too fast, but I hope we are able to cherrish the little moments like these, so no matter how quick she grows, we'll always have these times together.

Happy Birthday Princess, we love you.

I'm SIX!!!

To Appease the Blog Police

So, the "blog police" came knocking, and apparently I don't update the blog with cute pictures of Kreid enough for them (i.e. Kelly...haha). So this is just for her, and everyone else who enjoys adorable pictures of our sweet little man. These are from his most recent six-month photo session. Two words... adorable, enjoy.











A huge THANK YOU to Jamie for, yet again, doing an AMAZING job with our pictures. Thanks Jamie, you're the best... seriously. ;)

Makin' Some Changes

With the economy in it's current state, it is getting increasingly harder to resist the urge to buy a home. Right now we rent, and we get a great deal. It is hard though, because it is not OUR home. But Rob is in a unique place with his career right now, and he is close to a potential transition, which could or could not result in a move. So it is probably in our best interest to stay put for now, and just try to be patient in an attempt to not sign a deed one week, and find out we have to move the next. Soooo we decided to spuce our place up a little so we might enjoy it a little more and make it feel more like ours. Since our landlord is totally okay with it, we did some painting and bought new furniture... and I'm SO excited! So I thought I would share some pictures with you.

First, the before. I couldn't find just open room pictures, so this is the best I have...










And the after...
