Our Little Nemos
After 2 weeks of the girls being sick, they are finally healthy again! Cora is close to rolling over and Kendal is sassy as ever:) Kendal is into picking out her own clothes and it usually consists of a dress and other accessories that don't match! It has been interesting getting dressed in the am. She has also been anti bath time...so we usually spend a good 15-20 minutes listening to her scream about it..love those 2 year olds!
Well we have had an eventful past few days. I had to take Cora to the ER early Thursday morning, she was having a hard time breathing. The problem was I was home alone with both girls..Chad was up in the cities for cont. education. So after hours of debating and holding her in the steamy shower I called Chad at 4am to see what to do. Thank god for his secretary Joy and Rebecca our baby sitter. Kendal went to Rebeccas and Joy came with me to ER. Kendal was so cute when I got her up she says "what doin mommy? Cora sad?" When we got there we went through a bunch of tests, that didn't make her happy. Then they came back negative so we did a CXR and we found pneumonia in both upper lobes of her lungs. So after finally figuring out they had the wrong pulse oximeter on her toe (long story) and realized her O2 was not at an 88 but a 96 they said I could go home instead of admitting her. So we have been on antibiotic, prednisone and the nebulizer. We are on the mend still not feeling well but last night Kendal was crying b/c of her so I brought her to the Dr and she has an ear infection..so another trip to the pharmacy:) Grandma Linda spent Thursday night and Friday morning with us, thank goodness and Uncle Nick is spending the night with us tonight. Thank heavens, he is the best Uncle ever. Daddy will be home tomorrow and we can't wait!
It has been a long week and half...Last saturday night Kendal got sick. She started with just a cold, then the flu then it ended with bilateral ear infections. Her left ear drum ruptured in the middle of the night Thursday night..no fun for anyone. Cora was an absolute dream while Kendal was sick she slept through the night and let us love Kendal up. But this last Friday night Kendal got better and Cora got sick. She is soo plugged up I feel so bad for her. We took her to the Dr. yesterday and he said it was just a cold. She weighed 13 lb 11 oz. and was 24.75 inches long. not as big as she appears:) We are praying Cora starts to feel better she has had a few rough days. Daddy is leaving us tomorrow until Saturday for some cont. ed up in the cities.
Well it is official my 20's are over! I had the best week ever! It started last Friday when we celebrated Kendal's 2nd Birthday, then I got suprised on Saturday with a day at the Spa with Juli and Meghann! It was wonderful, I have never been rubbed that much. Then if that wasn't enough we all went to dinner and met my brother and stayed at a hotel. My first night away from my baby Cora!! We had a great time. Then as if Chad didn't suprise me enough he gave me a beautiful blue topaz ringer! It was an amazing time! I very very lucky to have a great husband and wonderful friends that pulled it off:)
Then more b-day celebration on Thursday night, Meghann and Lilly came up and we met Juli, Travis and Addison for supper.... babies in a bar:)
Then on my b-day my girls slept in until 8:30!! It was winter games up here so Damon Dotson plaid in a 100 yard tent on West Okoboji. It was a blast, too much fun, I was hurting Saturday. The weekend has been good over all but poor Kendal got really sick through the night with a fever and cough and today she puked for the 1st time. poor thing, I just pray Cora doesn't get sick.
Thanks to all who made my week sooo special. I couldn't ask for a better life! 2 healthy happy baby girls and wonderful loving husband!
OHH They love to snuggle...it is sooo amazing to watch the two interact! Cora is starting to really find her voice and giggle. She loves her big sis!
My little princess turned 2! She has grown up soo much in the past few months. She talks soo much. She says "Kendal do it" she has been dressing herself alot, she knows all of her colors,counts to 10 and has worn big girl underwear all week! She is truley a blessing and we enjoy every day with her. She makes us smile all day long. She is an amazing little girl!
The days I get to stay home with Kendal she gets to pick out what she wears.. so it has been int resting lately, she has worn pretty dresses, summer pj's, nothing or even Halloween outfits. She definitely keeps it interesting. gotta love 2 year old!
Cora is really starting to find her voice and giggle. We are really doing pretty good on the potty.. well some days she is really interested and does good but others no interest at all.
