More LK

These are some pics of my big girl! She has changed so much and I can't believe how grown up she looks in these pictures. She is so full of life and energy. I don't know where the past three years have gone. She is such a blessing.

My little man

Well once again it has been forever since I blogged. I get distracted everytime I sit down to do it. Anyway, I wanted to share some pics of my sweetie pie. These are some shots from his three month pictures. I am such a bad mother, he is now 5 months old. He is getting so big!! 19#8oz to be exact. He can roll over both ways, he is sitting up some and is cooing, laughing and squealing when his sister drags it out of him. Otherwise he is layed back and as sweet as they come. I can't get enough of him. He just got over 2 back to back ear infections so he still waking up at night thinking he needs to eat. We are fighting that battle but other than that he is such a joy.

My little sugar lump!!!

I know he will probably kill me one day for calling him that but he really is that sweet. Here are some random shots of the new man in my life. He is the sweetest, happiest and most content baby on the planet and I can't believe I gave birth to him. After having LK and the colic drama I just new when he was born he would kinda be the same way but I was so wrong. He is such a joy. He loves his sister to pieces and of course his Mama. Right now he only wants me to feed him and he follows me around the room with his eyes just to make sure I'm close by. He started sleeping through the night at around 8 weeks but he doesn't sleep much during the day. He is a cat napper which is pretty hard on his old Mama. Luckily when he is awake he is usually happy. Napping is definitely a work in progress and any suggestions are gladly appreciated. We are so proud of him and we really don't know what we did before he was born. It's like he was always here. Anyway, just wanted to share some pics of him.

A sunny Sunday!

I don't know about you but this weekend was like heaven to me. I mean it has been one of the coldest winters I can remember and of course I have a brand new baby at home who doesn't need to be out in the cold. I now know how house arrest feels. Anyway, this weekend we made the most of the sunshine and warmer temps. We went to the park and had lunch from one of the my favorite restaurants Momma Goldbergs which has opened in Columbus!!! Yay!!!! It was so nice to see LK running around and Davis hung in there too. He is so sweet he just goes with the flow and nothing really bothers him. Thank Goodness!!! I can't wait until spring gets here and we have more of these great days.

Snow Day

Well I'm back. Blogging has been slack since December because I lost my camera when we went to my Mom's house to have our family Christmas. Yes, that means I lost all the pics from Davis's first Christmas! I have been using Shannon's camera from work so my time with the camera is few and far between. Anyway, here are some shots of LK playing in the snow. She of course had a blast and I can't wait until Davis can get out there and run around with her.

My sweet little boy!

Well, it's been a long, long time since I have blogged. Plenty on people told me this but taking care of two small children all day can be somewhat tiresome. I guess somewhat is an understatement. It is exhausting!! Anyway, I wanted to share some recent pics of my main man Davis for everybody to see. I lost my camera when I went home to my Mom's at Christmas so all the holiday pics are gone. While I am here I wanted to share a little Christmas miracle we received. On December 23rd I received a call from the kid's pediatrician that Davis' s PKU had come back positive for Cystic Fibrosis. He said that 2 tests had been run and both were positive but " Not to get upset just yet". He said that Davis needed to go to Atlanta and have a Sweat test which is the main kind of testing done to check for this disease. As you can imagine I had a small nervous breakdown. I was beside myself with worry. Luckily, the nurse at the MD office called and offered to get Davis an appt. on Christmas eve if we could make arrangement to go that quickly. Of course we agreed and on Christmas Eve, Shannon and I took Davis to Egelston Children's hospital in Atlanta. The staff at Egelston was very comforting and gave us lots of words of encouragement and hope. They even told us that had an early Christmas present for us. They were going to run the test results while we were there so we didn't have to wait until that evening to find out. After about an hour the lab tech came to us and said "Go home and have a Merry Christmas, I have no reason to call your pediatrician's office". This was music to our ears since she had told us when we arrived that the only time she calls in test results is if they are positive for the disease. We were so blessed and thankful to leave Atlanta with this wonderful news. God had heard our prayer. Later that afternoon our pediatrician's office called and told us that everything was fine and that he was a genetic carrier of the disease but did not have the disease itself. We were thankful. I have to say that it was a very eye opening experience for me. There were so many people at that hospital that day that were not going home with the same good news. People were bringing in wagons full of toys for the children at the hospital who would not be going home for Christmas. It touched me greatly to see this and I am so thankful for my Christmas miracle. I also want to thank my friend Candace. She came to the hospital and waited with Shannon and myself while Davis had the test and she waited with us for the results. I can't imagine how hard that was and I will never forget her for doing that for me. Love you Can Can!
