This winter must end

And with it may all the sickness leave our house once and for all! Eeegads this winter has been horrible! I feel like I have had a cold since Nov and Rowan and Lily are not doing much better and for the first time in a long time Parker got a really bad cold this year as well.

Lily had a recheck at the doctor last night and she is on the mend but still needs to continue the neb treatments slowly winding them down over the next few days.

Joe, Pop Pop, went to daycare to surprise Rowan yesterday and take her out for the day and ended up taking her to the doctor for us where she was diagnosed with strep throat and so she is now on antibiotics. Lily was swabbed last night but she does not have it, thankfully!

Rowan and Parker are home today and Lily is at daycare and I am at work.

Please let winter end soon and bring on the fresh warm air with open windows!

On a different note - Lily is no longer in her infant car seat...*sighs*...it was just getting way too heavy for me to carry so we installed the convertible seat in both cars instead...and so ends my infant baby days :(

Who dunnit?

Really - which one looks guiltier?

May the Force Be With You

Poor Lily - I had to keep her home from school today and take her to the doctor - the girl cannot breathe practically, apparently she has something called bronchialitis (sp?) where the tubes in her lungs are infected, virally not bacterially, so she is now on nebulizer treatments to try and open up her airways for her :( She has a terrible cough to go with it and I am afraid of her getting RSV but apparently this bronchialitis is one step away from RSV so..great :( We go back on Wednesday night to be rechecked - no ear infection though so that is a good sign! Oh and she weighed in at 16lbs1oz - still not double her birth weight - still not on any solids yet.

Watching Rowan yell "Swiper no swiping" at the top of her lungs - Priceless





Dueling computers

Do you remember the Christmas Parker stepped on our laptop? We replaced that good laptop with a cheap one that every single day since then proved how cheap it was - we finally got so fed up with it, found a great deal on a much better one and bought it. Now we have two laptops - one that is great and one that is only really good for Rowan to use - the kid is going to be a computer genius one day.
