I ended up taking Cole to Urgent Care tonight. He went down for a nap around 4 and was up crying 45 minutes later because he couldn’t breath. I gave him some tylenol and we headed for the clinic. The Dr. said his lungs sound clear, so it’s probably just a respiratory virus. He’s on [...]

A Miserable Night
Our trip to Sioux Falls was uneventful. We got to town, ran our errands and headed to the hotel for some swimming. Everything went ok until supper. We decided to head to Red Lobster. Let’s just say it was a good thing Cole was very hoarse. At least that way he didn’t disturb everyone around [...]

To Go or Not To Go Updated
We are supposed to leave later today to head to Sioux Falls. Cole is scheduled for an echo tomorrow morning and since he is 2 and hates doctors, we figured it best to go ahead and sedate him to get it all done. That means he can’t have any respiratory issues. Now we’ve been pretty [...]

Where to Begin…
It’s been a busy week. We finished up our morning swimming lessons today. Cole went down the slide 3 times with the instructor and rode in the inflatable boat a couple of times. Mostly he just got to play in the water, which is what he would rather do anyway. We have one evening class [...]

A Potential Problem
I got a call from my nurse today. They found Group B Strep in my urine from my last visit. While this is easily treatable with antibiotics during delivery to protect the baby, my doctor wants to put me on oral antibiotics now. From what I can understand (I haven’t actually talked to the nurse, we’ve [...]

I Hate Mice
and I’m not too fond of our cat right now either. I woke up early this morning thanks to the cat chasing a mouse around the house. Now, if he would just catch it and kill it, I’d be fine. I can handle that. He catches them in the basement, brings them upstairs and chases [...]

Exhausting
That about sums up the past week. It was a good week though. Cole loves his swimming lessons. This week we are going to switch it up a little and joing the evening session a few times and finish up the remaining classes in the morning this week. That we he gets to do things [...]

Mine Mine
Swimming lessons went well again this morning. The kid loves the water. They really aren’t that exciting. Basically we spend 15-20 minutes getting him comfortable on his back and tummy, trying to get him to put his face in the water, kick his legs, and jumping in. The other 10-15 minutes he usually just plays. [...]

We Made It: 30 Weeks 3 days
Yes, that’s an ultrasound picture, which means the baby is still inside! Today marks the exact gestation of Cole when he was born. So we’ve made it! Part of me wants to go out and celebrate, but part of me is also a little nervous. We are now entering all new territory! The ultrasound today [...]

To ND and home again
Apparently I need to remember to sign out of everything when my sister comes to visit. Nice post Jenn!
Anyway, our trip went well. I am exhausted. We left Friday and headed to Grand Forks. We made a quick stop in Dilworth, MN to drop off some stuff with a few friends. Another friend of mine [...]
