Project 365...continued

Even though I have neglected my poor blog too much this year, I have been faithful to my challenge of taking a photo every day this year. I am just struggling with posting them. I fully plan on putting each picture on here, it is just going to take some time. Stay tuned...

Week 13...

March 26-April 1

3.26.10     Hot date tonight. We went to a surprise party for David's big 30th at Carraba's, then walked around the mall, kid-less. Nice :)

3.27.10     Have you ever in your life seen a cuter foot stuffed into a flipflop? I haven't ;)

3.28.10     Krew crawled into this box, instead of going around it to get a toy on the other side. He thought he was pretty smart, till he piled himself up when he tried to get out.

3.29.10     Day at the park with Sarah and the boys. Kam was Graham's baby sitter and he took it very seriously. Too cute!

3.30.10     Check out his tippy toes. I just loved it. He wanted in that box soooo bad.

3.31.10     Because of the tippy toes yesterday, I decided it was probably time to move the old crib down a few inches. I know it is just a matter of time before he learns to crawl out of it, but for now, this should do the trick.

4.01.10     April fool's day was crazy clothes day at school for Kam, so we went for the backwards look. He is growing up too fast.

Week 12...

3.19.10    Sewing day with my mom. So fun!

3.20.10    First straw experience. He figured it out right away and couldn't get enough. He loved it!

3.21.10    It almost makes it ok for Daddy to go on a trip, as long as he comes home with presents ;)

3.22.10    Figuring out the crawl thing. He is sooooo close to getting it, he just needs to figure out how to get his hands and legs working together!

3.23.10     Kindergarten registration. I can't believe Kam is that old already. He is so excited and is already counting down the days to start, let's be honest though, somedays I count down too ;)

3.24.10     Lazy day today with lots of leapster time. At least it's a little bit educational, right? I am pretty sure this pictures was taken around 2 pm and he is still in his jammies. Mother of the year...

3.25.10     9 month check up today. The little man weighs 19 lbs (25%), 29" tall (77%), and 98% in his huge noggin. My cute little bobble head :)

Week 11....

March 12-18

3.12.10     The 3 stooges at Ali's soccer game. These boys are trouble ;)

3.13.10     Snow. Again. Where is spring??? Yuck.

3.14.10     Gram and Poppy stopped by today for a visit. Kam wasn't feeling well, so Gram read him books while he hung out in bed.

3.15.10     My mom took some pictures of the boys today. I think they turned out pretty stinkin' cute-but really, how could they not with a face like that?!?

3.16.10     This kid LOVES to eat his socks. Just like a puppy.

3.17.10     It was a beautiful day today, so the boys and I walked to the park.

3.18.10     YUM. Sweet Tooth Fairy cupcakes for our bunco dessert at mom's tonight. So yum.

Week 10...

March 5-11

3.05.10     This kid is just too cute to not be my picture of the day. Stop growing please...

3.06.10     Grocery shopping today.  My biggest helper emptied and tasted all of the bags while I put all of it away.

3.07.10     Happy Birthday Sarah! We went over for cake and ice cream tonight. Yum!

3.08.10     My first attempt at a haircut for the little man. Just a little trim, we will leave the real haircut to the experts.

3.09.10     Check out the new cheese. He can't get enough of it and neither can I :)

3.10.10     Kam LOVES banana bread and is always so excited when he spots some old bananas in our house, so today he helped me make a couple loaves. However, it wouldn't be Kam if he didn't use his awesome imagination to turn it into a pirate fight...complete with captain hook ;)

3.11.10     The big cheese, one more time. He just makes me smile. Love him.

Week 9....

February 26- March 4

2.26.10     My Dad and the kids came for a visit...Krew could not stop staring at his goatee!

2.27.10     Kam's first Jazz game was a big hit, but I think he may have been more impressed with the snowcones and treats than the actual game ;)

2.28.10     Yummy breakfast at Cracker Barrel before Dad and the kids head home.

 

3.01.10     Echocardiogram today. Everything seems to be getting better and better. I am finally at a low-normal range in heart efficiency...Yay for me!!

3.02.10     YUM...Girl scout cookie time. Good thing the ol' ticker is back to normal...I may just eat me a whole box ;)

3.03.10     Such a fun day spent shopping and eating with no kids or husbands...I am so lucky to have THE BEST sister-in-laws. PS...I tried sushi and it wasn't as awful as I imagined ;)

3.04.10     This little man can't get enough of the barstool obstacle course. You should see him duck under the low bars army-crawl style, nothing gets in this little guy's way.

Seriously?!? Another hospital stay...

It seems like we are having a streak of bad luck at our house. Over the weekend, we got to stay at the hospital again. Who does this?!? Apparently it was from two seperate things too. The first visit the docs think that Krew had a bacterial infection which spread to his blood. This cleared up, but then he caught some stomach flu and dehydrated himself once again. This kid is going to kill me ;) He is a stinker and when he doesn't feel good, he just shuts down. You CAN NOT force anything down him. Believe me, I tried and tried.

Krew started out throwing up on Thursday. I could not get him to keep anything down. I called the doc that night and he told me to stop trying for 3-4 hours (that this might let his stomach settle long enough) then to give him tiny amounts at a time. So we had a long night and then by Friday morning he still didn't want much at all. So we went in for our 4th doctor's visit in two weeks. After looking him over, the doctor didn't think he looked too bad, but had us get him some labs done just in case. While we waited, I headed home and tried my hardest to get the little guy to drink anything. I knew he was dehydrated, but he was acting happy and playing so I didn't think the labs would be a big deal. The doctor's office called back around 6:00 that night and told me I needed to get him to the hospital. It was not our normal doctor that called and he was pretty vague so the only thing that stood out to me was "get him to the hospital and his labs look bad". So I was freaking out, to say the least.

Once we were in our room, the on call doctor came over to check Krew out. After looking at him, he was a little confused by the lab results because he just didn't act as sick as his labs said he was. He decided he wanted to double check the numbers, so while they were putting in his IV, they got some blood too. The things that where alarming were his co2 and his blood sugar (this was really low).  After about 30 minutes the lab results were back and they had not changed from the first set. I immediately think the worst and assume he must have something awful, but the doctor reassured me that his body was probably just in starvation mode from not really getting back to normal from last weeks stay and now the vomiting, and that we were probably just unlucky.

The next day, Krew still wouldn't eat much but was finally drinking about half of his normal. That afternoon we had another set of labs drawn. I had a feeling they were going to send us home, but was scared because I didn't want to end up back there again in a few days. The labs came back perfect this time, so they set us up an appointment on Monday with our real doctor then discharged us and sent us on our way.

Once we were home, he started to eat and drink a little better. He was fully hydrated now, so it was nice to not be so obsessed with whether he had peed or not ;) We all slept a lot better that night without hourly vitals and beeping IV machines. Sunday he finally started to want to eat and drink, but still not completely normal. By Monday, he was even better. The doctor's check up went well and the doctor doesn't seem to be too concerned with his weird labs. He did say that if he ends up dehydrated again soon, we will need to start digging a little deeper to see if there is a more serious cause. For now, he just thinks he had a stomach bug that was completely unrelated to last weeks sickness and we are just unlucky. So I am REALLY ready for a break. No more hospitals or doctors for a long long time. I am looking into getting him a bubble to live in this winter ;)

Have you ever seen anything cuter?! His little hospital gown was too sweet.

I think he was used to his hosital cage this time around, so he slept like a champ.

He thought he was the bomb-diggity when we went for a little walk in the wagon ;)

Headed home. He was sooooooo mean to the nurses. They could hardly even talk to him without him grunting or yelling at them. Poor kid has been through alot lately ;)
