Update on Levi

It's been a pretty emotional day. Below are my facebook updates from today. Thank you all for your sweet comments and prayers. I am so thankful for each one of you!

10:00am - Levi is still really lethargic, and breathing fast. Dr. thinks it's bronchiolitis along with the RSV. He seems worse today, but they say that's how RSV does. He will hopefully get off the IV later today. Thank you for your prayers. Psalm 46:1

6:00pm - He has pneumonia, is on oxygen, and is still dehydrated (still on IV). We will be in the hospital at least 2-3 more days. Thank you so much for your prayers for our very sick little guy!

Asking you...

to pray for my baby boy. 

He was admitted to the hospital this evening with RSV and dehydration. He is a very sick little guy. Jacob and I would appreciate your prayers as well - it's incredibly hard to see your baby like this.

I will do my best to keep you posted.

Life This Week...

... is full of wiping snotty noses, snuggling, a tired mama, lots of fluids, {sometimes} grouchy babies, hugs, kisses, staying at home, fevers, and general miserableness. Yes, my babies have bad colds. It's so hard seeing them sick!

Weekend Review

Our "weekend" started on Thursday night by going to Panera for supper. We usually eat out on Friday nights, but since Jacob had a concert this weekend (with a rehearsal on Friday night) we decided to go out Thursday night. Levi slept the whole time and Lily did great eating and keeping herself occupied by looking/waving at all the other people enjoying their supper. She makes new friends everywhere we go! Ha!

Jacob was pretty much gone all day Saturday. I cleaned the house and then decided that Lily and I would make sugar cookies. They were a huge fail. Let's just say...they turned out more like dog biscuits than soft sugar cookies like the recipe promised. Ha. Oh well, at least Lily and I had fun and she enjoyed licking her first beater. Don't judge me, please! :o)

We had a great Sunday! It was so good to worship our Savior and fellowship with our dear church family. God has truly blessed us!

Pigtails

I always had my hair in pigtails when I was little, so I was super excited the other day when I was able to get Lily's hair into little pigtails!

I just think they are so cute! Of course it's kind of a struggle to get them in...I think she inherited my tender head. Poor girl! I do my best to keep her distracted, but she still wiggles and squirms like none other. I'm certainly learning how to be super fast with those itty bitty hairbands!

Someone gave us the set of Your Baby Can Read dvds, so Lily's been watching the starter one for the last week or so. She does pretty good trying to say each word and do the hand motions (i.e. clap, wave, reach, etc).

Have any of you ever used the Your Baby Can Read program? Did it seem to work? Honestly I don't really care if it teaches her to read or not, I'm just thankful that it keeps her occupied for 20 minutes each day. Ha!

WW: Little Guy

I love this little guy!

13 months

It's so hard to believe my little girl is 13 months old! After having Levi, Lily seems so big and grown up. Some days I have to remind myself that she's really still a baby too!

She is a great big sister...usually. ha! At times she gets a little rough with Levi and seems to forget that he's not as big as she is.

She has turned into a great little helper, which is such a blessing for me! She's able to do little tasks like getting a clean diaper for Levi, taking things to the trash, picking up her toys, etc.

Lily is still taking two naps each day and sleeping 12 hours at night! She's wearing size 3 diapers and 12-18 month clothes.

She loves playing outside, which we got to do a lot of this past weekend! She also loves going shopping, whether it's grocery shopping or just walking at the mall, she loves getting out of the house.

She makes me smile everyday with the cute things she says and does. I just love her to death!
