Dr.s Visits

Well what a crappy week for Brodie to be sick!! On Sunday he started having a runny nose and it just got worse from there. With him being preemie I was scared to death. I called the Dr. on Monday and they said as long as he wasn't running a fever, coughing, and the snot was clear we were fine just use suction and nasal spray. On Tuesday he started coughing and sound awful! He sounded so pitiful. I couldn't get through to the Dr.s Office and it was sleeting like no other so, We decided to take him to Quick Care. They gave him some breathing treatments and sent us on our way. He still wasn't sounding better Wednesday, so I called the on call Pediatrician and she told us to come in on Thursday. I felt better getting to see Dr. Ruff he makes us feel better about everything. Dr. Ruff said that Brodie just needed some extra TLC :) Brodie just has a little viral thing going on and should be fine.

I was a little disappointed that school wasn't going to be in on Friday. Me and Brodie had plans to go with Sheena and her kiddos to the B-R game. We were going to cheer on Megan Delaney for homecoming. Since school isn't in we are now going to pay Shawna, Allison, and Baby Delaney a visit. It should be a blast she is such a beautiful baby. Hope Everyone has a safe weekend :)

9lbs 14.5oz


Well we had our Dr.s appointment yesterday I can't believe that Brodie is almost 10 lbs!!! It is hard to believe that he gained over 2lbs this month. Dr. Ruff was very pleased with his progress and said he was doing awesome. He is starting to be more verbal on Sunday i was getting him ready for church and while I was talking to him he just kept on smiling at me. I love it!! It made my day! I have to admit that I was a little scared about this week. Trent is gone to a class all week and it is just me and Brodie. It is all I can do to get ready in the morning and out the door on time when Trent is here to help. This morning went perfectly Brodie ate at 10:30 last night and slept until 5am. That is the longest stretch he has ever went, so I think that we will be just fine this week if my little man will keep on sleeping through the night. Wish us luck!!

New To This.

Well, I have decided to try blogging. My friend Shawna has a blog and I love keeping up to date with what is going on with her and her family. So I thought this would be a great way for me to keep everyone updated on our family. Here is a little about all of us...

Trent and I have been married for three years and have a 3 month old baby boy Brodie. We had a ruff start with the little man. He decided to come to this earth 10 weeks early. We spent 6 weeks in NICU at St. Marys in Evansville. They were so great to us. Brodie is now home and has no health problems we are just trying to fatten him up. I can't not describe the pain that I felt for my little man. He was 3lbs 10oz and seeing him hooked up to I.V.s and feeding tubes was aweful. I thank God everyday that he has blessed us with our little miracle.
