Our Crazy Life

As I mentioned before October is one busy month for us! So here are a few events that have happened over the weeks.

I still haven't done the big room reveal, but here are a few pictures from my cell phone. I'm still waiting for a few pieces to come in and I've made one window's treatment but still one to go. Once all that is done I promise I will post. But how has the transition been?! AMAZING!! I have the best little boy ever. The first few days it was scary he was a rolly poley all over the bed. But after 4 days he figured out his head stays at the top part of the bed and he only rolls side to side. He only climbed out of bed once, but hasn't done it since. He does the cutest thing now when he wakes up. There are a few stuff animals in his bed so he will sit up and start playing with them you can hear him giggle through the monitor. He will stay in bed and thankfully now doesn't stand up. I got onto him for doing that the first few days. Just sits there like a good little boy waiting for mommy.

Last Sunday was eventful for us. I had to take the little man to the ER. We were there for almost 7 hours!!!!!!!!! OMG! His fever was progressively getting worse through the day so at 7pm I was like we have to now rather than at 3am. I didn't think it was going to be a 7 hour visit or I would have made Wes go with me, but he goes to bed around 8 to be at work at 3am. So I texted a dear friend, Erica, about the ordeal and she offered to sit with me. Knowing that it was still early I said GREAT! haha This was our 1st ER visit so I was freaking inside so I enjoyed the company. And MAN am I glad she and John came. I'm not strong enough to hold down this little guy for HOURS! I have the best friends ever!

And did I mention the night before was "Adult Day".  Aiden spent the day with the grandparents so I could paint the room and then Erica, Brittany, John, Nate, and Trey came over for a cookout before the softball game.  Such good times! I had to play because one of their girl players couldn't make it, and I pulled out my 8th grade softball skills. Hit the ball everytime I went to the plate and even scored. I'm awesome I know. Except now I'm wondering how the heck I played for so long because balls flying towards my face is not cool. Such a chicken. We won so we headed back to our house for a celebration where I rocked at Presidents and Assholes. President almost every time. We did this til 3am. Holy crap! I don't think I've done that since I was in college. And on Sunday I knew why I never do it. lol. That was also my first drink in months. I haven't had an alcoholic beverage since our beach trip in June. So 2 beers in and I was done. lol

Back to the story. Here's all what took place at the hospital. Xrays of his chest. 2 HUGE shots in each leg. Tried to get blood out of one arm, Failed. Attempt in the other arm worked, 2 tubes full of blood. 1 Breathing Treatment. And in the mist of all this his fever shot up to 104.6, when we came in it was 102.7. There we are sitting on a hospital bed in the hallway, and Aiden's so hot he is literally sweating on me and he is just in a diaper and bright red. Talk about scary! But he was a champ considering it was WAAAAAY past his bedtime. But now if anyone walks near him with scrubs on all hell breaks loose.

This pic is him on the way home. PASSED OUT! So turns out his asthma and sinus infection caused him to get a severe case of bronchitis. So back again with breathing treatments every 4 hours, steroids, and antibiotics. UH!  They also recommended after this episode is over we bump his treatments to 2 times a day. Aiden loves that! Not! But I think I have found the thing that will keep him calm during the treatment. Every time he watches "Open Season 2" he sits still and just starts giggling his head off. What can I say this kid loves dogs. Thank you lord! Normally we fight for the 1st 5 minutes then the last 5 minutes he's so tired he just sits there. And the other not so great news is he will get like this every season change. Lovely! He still sounds stuffy, but not nearly as bad. So until this Memphis CRAZY weather stops he will continue to sound like this. One week 86 next week 40 next 75 next 51. Lordy!

Yesterday, we headed over to a Mrs. Chris and Steve's house for a Halloween party. Wes' softball games are always on Saturday nights so he couldn't come. Boo! But we still had fun. They had hay rides, cupcake walks, duck ponds, ring toss, and awesome food. So many kids showed up. Aiden was on a full overload running all over the place. After hours of fun we met up with Daddy at Ihop with some friends/teammates before heading home. Aiden was SOO tired. Love my little Yoda!

Today, we all packed up and headed over to Brittani's baby shower. Love that family! Plus, Aiden got to see his bff, Connor. Those two had so much fun with all the "BA-OONS" as Aiden says. haha Gotta love it. Aiden loved when Daddy hit the "BA-OON" towards him. I just can't wait for Jacob to get here and Aiden to have a new fiend to play with. As you can see Aiden had a blast!

Now on a different note, as I was shopping at Target for Jacob some outfits I stumbled across something that made me stop in my tracks. I found a shirt for Aiden. Not just any shirt. A shirt to wear for his birthday party! AH! Normally for the "extra" purchases I have an internal debate of do we need this, is this a lot, can i get it cheaper, etc? As Wes says I'm a cheap ass. I just like to plan, there are no spur of the moment purchases for me, everything has a reason/purpose. But anyway. This shirt was beyond perfect and did I mention it was WAAAY cheaper than the one I was going to get off Etsy?!! $8 compared to $29. Double BONUS! I was even willing to pay full price. SOOO not me. I don't buy anything unless it's on clearance or at least some discount. But at least I got some discount but using Wes' employee discount. YAH! I can't wait for his party.
