Stories Oct 5, 2008 Congrats Aunt Missy we love you
Oct 3, 2008 We took the boys to the pumpkin patch today and had a blast. They are both getting so big I love seeing the two of them together. They called yesterday and Bradyn goes in for his tubes on Oct 8th at 6:45 in the morning. Plase keep my little guy in your prayers on this day that everything goes well. Sept 18, 2008 We just came from Dr. Neuman's office and Bradyn goes for surgery on October 8th for tubes in his ears. The doctor said he has some hearing loss that he believes is due to the fluid in his ears and will return as soon as they are drained. There is no longer an infection though so that is a plus for us. I now this is for the best but I am very nervous about it all the same. They will be putting him under with gas not an IV which is better but just the thought of handing over my baby makes me cry now I am sure I will be a basketcase the day of the appt. So please keep us in your prayers.
Sept 2, 2008 It only took two days but I finally got new pictures posted. We are all back on track to getting better. Bud still has an eye infection that we all shared. Bradyn still has fluid in his right ear and a little redness, so he is on another round of meds. We also have to go on Sept 18 to an ENT doctor to see if he needs tubes or not. Vacation was great we all had a great time and it was nice to relax for awhile and not have to worry about anything. We played on the beach a ton and took the boys for a boat ride to see the ponies. Well I better get somethings done while B is a school before I have to go to the doctors. Hope you enjoy the photos. We actually have about 500 pictures I was thinking of putting on shutterfly so email me if you want to see them. Love ya and keep signing the guestbook. Aug 17,2008 Lets see where to start with things going on here. We are trying to get ready for vacation but things keep stopping that. Bradyn has a nasty cold and I am piggybacking Motrin and Tylenol very three hours. I am hoping we are on the tail end of it. We are headed back to the doctors tomorrow. I also got blessed with appendicitis on Weds Aug 13 and spent my first night away from Bradyn in surgery and the hospital. Thank you Aunt Jodie for letting him stay and sleep with(on) you. I had no idea that was what I had it didn't really hurt but was a very strange stomach ache that was hard to explain. I now am not to lift anything over 20 pounds I guess that is why god gave me a small child. Ha-ha. The doctor said no pushing, pulling, lifting, bending for a few days. I followed orders for a day. Although I can tell when I do to much. Bradyn still isn't talking much,but more he says mom,bu ( Buxy), da, Papa. He calls all motorcycles Papa. We are working on body parts and he got down nose pretty much. Still not shaking his head no though so we are working on that too. Well keep us in you prayers as we all recover please. Love you all and the next update will hopefully be us at the beach.
Aug. 2,2008 We went to Browns Family Night with Donny and Natalie last night it was very fun. We saw Dale, Sonya, Kylie and Zach. They had a practice and giveawys and fireworks. Bradyn is becoming more and more like his daddy everyday, He loves sports. He is 13 months today. He is still not talking and that is still bothering me but he is doing new things everyday. He is walking/running everywhere. He is pointing to everything and waving when you say goodbye most of the time. We are also still having sleeping issues I tried letting him just cry the other night and he screamed for 30 mins straight so I gave in. I know a child has never died from crying as Dr Guru says but I sure breaks a mommies heart. Enjoy the photos there are two new pages of them. Loe ya all please sign the guestbook. July 19, 2008 HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA! Sorry it has been so long for an update things have been pretty busy and I guess I was letting things slip alittle. We had Bradyn's one year appt on July 11, 2008 he is 29 3/4 inches, 18 pounds 14 ozs, and has a 19 in head. The doctor was not concerned yet that he is not talking but was concerned that he is so skinny. He wants to recheck him in 8 weeks to see how he is gainging. I held off on the MMR shot because I am a freak and wanted to do some more research on it first. He got the prenar and his last hep B shot. Then refused to eat for about a week. Shot really do him in. He is walking/running now so no wonder he is so skinny. He is saying Mama and Bu again and the occassional dada. He is pointing to everything and we are trying to name it for him so he learns the lable for it. When ever he hears a plane he points to the sky and when he hears a bike he will point and occasionally say papa. Well I have a ton of pictures to upload and I am sure you all come on here more for them then to listen to me babble so I will talk to you later.
June 28th, 2008 We had Bradyn's Birthday party today it was very nice to see everyone and celebrate our liitle guys first year. It brings tears to my eyes just to think about it how fast a year went by. He had a great time and got a ton of great presents. He also got to go to his first Street Fair parade even though it was raining he seemed to enjoy most of it. Although everytime a fire truck would come and blow it horn he jumped and gave Natalie a dirty look like she did it. Very cute. He is doing so many new things it amazes me how much they change and how quickly. He is pointing at everything, laughing at everything and into everything. I would change it for the world. I would like to find a way to keep him out of the dogs water though. He has 6 teeth now and is taking a few steps at a time. He will walk forever holding on to your hand but still is unsure about doing it alone. I think he would walk a little better if i could get him to uncurl his toes but no luck yet. Well better go because he has decided it is time to unpack the presents. Thank you to eveyone who was at his party and thank you for all the wonderful gifts. June 17, 2008 Please say a little prayer for us. Bud's grandpa died yesterday and he was very close to him. He needs a little extra support right now. June 8, 2008 Well my poor little man is still not feeling well his infection is out of the ear it was bad in and still in the ear it had just started in. Now he also has a very bad cough and is running a fever of 101-102. We have to go back to the doctors in the morning because it says if there are any new signs of infection to call your doctor right way. And he is more sick now then he was before we took him for his recheck. As much as I love this parenting thing it is hard work. We had to have a meeting with the owner of the daycare already because of comments made by one of the teachers. She said that Bradyn cries from the time he gets there until we pick him up unless he is being held. She made me feel so bad like I was abusing my son for bringing him there because he gets himself so worked up. Doesn't she know how hard it is to bring a child to daycare and that you are leaving them with your life. I live and breath solely for him and to let just anyone watch him kills me. I know that daycare is the best thing for him and that it will help in the long run I think but at the same time I hate it. I have been trying not to freak out about him and his milestones and just live one day at a time and then things like this happen. We have daycare and him crying and a double ear infection with a runny nose and nasty cough. But I am trying I swear. June 1, 2008 As you can tell we took the boys to the zoo on Friday. I tink they both had a great time. Bradyn loved the birds and kept petting one. Bud took 194 pictures I think he got a picture of every animal at the zoo. Ha-ha. He is also getting his front teeth they both finallt broke through for the most part. It still keeps bleeding if he really grinds it. And we go back this week for his ear recheck. Well really wanted o get the pictures on here it is really late so I better get to sleep. Enjoy the new pictures. May 26, 2008 Well it has been a long emotional week for mommy. First Bradyn went to daycare for the first time on Tues and Weds. The teacher said he did very and that he seems to be adjusting well. However we had went and had a playdate with his teacher and asked her a bunch of questions and everything only to have her put on bedrest and a brand new teacher in her place. Her first day was the same day as Bradyn's so that makes me a little nerves since I have not got to talk to her. Then on Thursday he woke up with a fever of over 102 so off to see Dr. Guru. He has a double ear infection! Wow how could I not know before it got that bad? He had a runny nose and was palying with his one ear but he is also getting his front teeth so I thought it was from teething. And on Sat. Bud and I went to the Kenny Chesney concert at the Browm's stadium. It was a great concert we saw Gary Allen, LeAnn Rimes, Sammy Hagar, Keith Urban and Kenny Chesney. It was nice to get away and I knew Bradyn was in good hand with Jodie and Joe. Of course they got some help from Nana and Papa as well. It was hard though to be gone that long and more so with him not feeling well. Thank you though it was something I think we needed. Well everyone is sleeping but me and I need to get up very early so I must go for now. Please sign the guestbook so I don't think I am talking to myself I do that enough already. Thanks and love you all. May 16, 2008 Well it is official Bradyn is going to daycare next week for at least two days a week. I am not happy about it completely but we think it is for th best, kinda. I hope all the mothers out there had a great Mother's day. My first one was great we went to Jodie's and I spent the day wit my two favorite little guys. Well I should get some cleaning done since B went to sleep early. Love everyone and hope you like the new pictures. The following is feelings I have been hiding or trying to hide for a long time and have decided to share with everyone. Maybe it will help me to stop being a freak or help everyone understand why I am one. Either way its something I feel I need to share. Sorry for the poor me's and being a downer
When we thought about trying it was more for Bud that I finally gave in. He was ready for a baby way before me and I had actually tossed around the idea of not having any. I have Owen who is the apple of my eye and I
thought he was enough. We got pregnant our first month trying and it was a huge shock to me as I was still kinda debating the idea. So many thoughts ran through my head when that test came back positve. Even during my pregnancy I had moments of "I'm not so sure I want to do this". My mom and Jodie tell me now although I thought I hid it pretty well that they were worried about me. I also am worried that because of my Gestational Diabetes and me eating light foods with splenda and artifical sweetners that something will be wrong because of comments made by people while pregnant. Even though my Dr. told me not to listen because I was treating my sugar. And I kept my levels well under the max. I was only over once the entire time. I also worry that I might have done something to him because I could not get him out. It has haunted me since the day he was born that I had a c-section. He wasn't that big and he didn't do something crazy like me putting my arm over my head and I still couldn't get him out. What if his oxygen level dropped or the drugs interacted I couldn't feel anything from the tip of my head down so what did it do to him. Also I was so drugged I was shaking like I was having a siezure. I know I have a beautiful little boy and that he is wonderful but these are the reasons I freak. May 5,2008 Congrats to Jason and Megan. We look forward to having you as part of the family Megan and we are so happy to hear of your little suprise. If you need anything let us know. May 3, 2008 10 months old I can not believe my baby is that old already. Its seems like yesterday I was worried about taking care of his cord and if I was feeding him right. Now I worry about what he will get into next and what he just put in him mouth. He is into everything and has no fear. He just started the monkey crawl where he crawls on his feet not putting his knees down, so I don't think it will be long before he is walking. I need advice on the sippy cups? We have tried a few and he isn't getting the hang of it. We have the Nuby ones, a Playtex with handles, and Gerber beginners. He does care for the handles and he does great with holding it. He just can't get the drinking part he either doesn't bite on it or won't suck on it so it just makes a mess. Any tricks out there on getting themto use it? Well he just fell asleep so I am going to clean the living room again. We are on a binky hunt I had 12 and am down to 3. Keep signing the guestbook and love you all. April 25, 2008 We took Bradyn for his wellness visit today with Dr. Guru. He said our little man looks great and that he is doing well. Has a little fluid in his right ear from his cold. I thought it was going to be his left ear because he has been holding that one lately. So we have to go get it checked again in 4 weeks. He would like him to gain a little more weight he is below the 5% at 17 lb. 10ozs., But his growth has slowed down at 28 1/2 inches. and is now between 50/75%. And his big head measures in at 18 1/4 inches, between the 50/75%. Bradyn's 1st. Birthday Party When:June 28th Where:Mecca Community Church Time: TBA April 20, 2008 The weather has been very nice. Bradyn loves it outside now we have trouble keping him in. He goes to the door and hits it and crys until you show him it is dark and night time. We played so hard outside on Friday he fell asleep in his stroller at 6:00 and I had to try to change him out of his dirty clothes with him sleeping, he was out until 7 the next morning. We were going to try to Ferber this past weekend but he has a terrible cough and a runny nose. He is also holding onto his left ear a bunch. I am going to ask the doctor on Friday about allergies. We have a wellness visit so I will have an update on how big he is and all tha jazz then. Plus I will get hopefully so answers to many of my questions. Well I am very tired so I will go hope you enjoy the new pictures love ya and don't forget to sign the guestbook. April 13, 2008 Mecca Cones is now Open! I worked with Nana all day on Friday and the weather held out for us most of the day. Now it is freezing cold so we stayed home Sat. and Sun. Bradyn got to eat his first Ice Cream cone and he liked it. Boy did mommy feel old after working there all day though. Bradyn went to his first babysitter other then family this week and he did okay. I cried most of the day on Tuesday and was nervous all day on Thursday but did okay too. Kelly said that it was completely different when Bud dropped him off though he whined a little and then was fine. On Thursday I took him and he was fine when I lefy but once he realized I was gone kept going to the door and saying mamamama all day. Sorry Kelly! We made another trip to the Dr. because his fever came back and I was worried that meant ear infection. But it is just a nasty cold. Now all of us have a bad cough and runny noses. He also had a second tooth break the surfae on weds. Well better go hope you enjoy the new pictures and keeping signing the guestbook. Love ya. April 6, 2008 Bradyn is now 9 months old. He was running a high fever and had a rash from it last week. When Bud took him to the doctors he weighed 18 pounds. I don't know how since he only eat puffs and formula. Getting him to eat baby food is a battle very seldom won. I have given in and started mashing up our veggies and giving him them and he loves papa's noodle soup. I figure as long as he is getting his veggies then its a good thing. I don't make them with salt or butter so they are kinda just like baby food. Last night Bradyn was in a wedding and he did wonderful. I was so afraid becuase he screamed all the way down the aisle at reherseal but he did great. Bud took him away about an hour before the wedding and played with him and the Marissa the girl that carried him down. He didn't cry at all not down the aisle or during the ceremony. I was so proud! He is talking more when he wants and starting to stand on his own a little bit ( as long as he doesn't notice). He was clapping his hands for the past two weeks at everything. But has decided he is done clapping and now when you tell him to clap he just smiles. He loves to dance and does whenever he hears any music. And he as perfected his Frank Jr. grin whenever you tell him no or to do something he just looks at you and grins then goes about doing it anyways. Last week was Nanas last week of babysitting full time at least until fall so that she can open and work at cones. We are all said about it but know it is for the best for her and papa. I have promised to bring him often to visit. And if the summer goes as fast as the past 9 months have it will be fall in no time. Well I have to go feed Bradyn brakfast so enjoy the pictures and keep signing the guestbook.
