Good 'Ol Boys

Good 'Ol Boys

My boys are better now. Nic just has a slight cough left over. But everyone is happy again and mom can sleep through the night. We took this picture at meeting last night. They look like such little men with their hats. They are getting SO big. I have been going through the computer organizing the hundreds of pictures I have of them, and I tell you.... to see what they look liked when they first came home..... what a difference!!! They are now 14 lbs., more than twice their size when they came home!!! It just makes me teary eyed to see how far they have some.
I was thinking how funny it is when you have your own kids you notice the littlest things. Like, normally when you hear a baby it's just babble or gibberish to you. But when it's YOUR baby you notice the new sound or "word" he's using today. That cute noise they have never made before, or that noise they are using over and over again-- that is a word to them!! And it just makes you smile!!! "ooooahhhh" was Nicolas word for a while when he would get really excited!!! Now he and Ethan are giggling when excited!! I have some video of that I will post soon.

Sorry I got all sentimental on you there.... just needed to record some memories.

Sick

Ethan is getting better but then Nicolas got sick. He saw the Dr. yesterday. He is on antibiotics now as well since his cough was getting worse. Trevor has also been sick and went to the Dr. today. I can not wait until everyone is well again. I am VERY tired. Ethan was a good sport even though he was sick, Nicolas on the other hand not so much. It's funny because under normal circumstances Ethan gets upset more often than Nic, but Nic has been mad about being sick, and when he gets mad... oh boy he get MAD!!

The results from Nicolas' EEG came back good!!! No seizure activity so we can now ween Nicolas off his medicine. :)

Silly Ethan sticks out his tongue when he gets excited now Ethan (L) Nicolas (R)
Handsome boys

Nicolas: "whoop! whoop! whoop!"

awww... what a cute smile!

Let me give you an update on the past week. This morning I took Ethan to the ER because he's had a bad cough that was getting worse. It was causing him to vomit all his feedings and then he was choking on it. It was a long weekend. They did find he has the early stage of pneumonia so they put him on antibiotic and sent us home. I am just glad we caught it early enough. He is doing OK.

Last Monday Nicolas had an EEG (that is a test were they put a bunch of wire leads on his head to monitor his brain waves). It is a routine procedure since he had a seizure. They just want to check to make sure everything is ok to let him be weaned off his medication... yippy!!! I haven't noticed anything abnormal about him so I am sure the results will come back fine. The seizure was probably from his nervous system being too immature. The neurologist will call and let us know the results soon.

I hope you enjoy the pictures!!!
