31 weeks

As I post these I am 32 weeks and one day and went to the doctor today.
Everything looks great. My levels are all good and I'm measuring three weeks big. Doc said if I continue to measure big at 36 weeks he will schedule another sono and move my due date (which freaks me out because if at 4 weeks out he moves my due date three weeks) you do the math....

another update

Jaren continued to not get better and have a fever. Monday we took him back to the ENT and got a prescription for an antibiotic. He is already doing better. He at much better today, not great, but better, he was in a better mood, again not great but better. We will take ANY progress we can see at this point.

Daddy especially needs Jaren to get better so he isn't as stressed. Mark takes the GMAT on Sat. morning, any prayers for him are welcome.

Here are some pics from the surgery and keep checking on us as the new floor, belly pics and Easter will be arriving very soon.

Crazy week/update

Sorry we have not posted sooner.

Here is a quick recap and I will get pictures up soon, hopefully.

Jaren got a cold before surgery, but broke his fever early enough to still carry through with surgery - he was a champ going in, especially concidering he couldn't eat or drink anything. Surgery went really well, but recovery, not so much. Jaren did not handel the anastecia well at all. We spent a half an hour with him in recover while he kicked and screamed and flailed about. He wasn't with it at all. He didn't know who we were, where he was, etc... Nobody would even allow me to hold him he was being so violent. Finally after they took the IV out he calmed down and fell asleep on the way home. He and I spent the day at my parents house as it was to loud at our house, because we were getting new floors put in. Jaren spent the day resting and healing. He did great. Then on Friday morning he woke up with a fever. The doctors were not worried about it as long as ibuprophen and acetametaphin broke it and it did. We have continued with feverish moments since Thursday. Once hitting 102 and our worst and last fever being Sat. night at 103.6 He is very needy and clingy, but in spurts will play perfectly for an hour. Poor guy it is breaking my heart. As for if we can see a differance, he is still fighting off the cold and congestion from before surgery so hard to tell, but last night he slept straight through the night and didn't get up till 8:30 this a.m. so I'd say that is a GREAT sign!!! I got up at 6:30 though and laid there till 8:00 thinking I'm not going to go back to sleep because he will be up an second.

Floor - our floor was finished on Friday and we are loving it, we still need an area rug, but overall, we are very pleased. We got wood lamanate in the whole upstairs, minus the bedrooms.

Easter - was good, if only Jaren wasn't clingy. He could care less to run around and find eggs, but did like the hotwhells the easter bunny brought and he looked cute in his GQ outfit (pictures to come)

Anyway, sorry so long, and sorry I didn't post sooner. WE appriciate any and all prayers that were recieved for his surgery and recovery!!!

Boo boo

Jaren fell at daycare playing outside the other day and got his first true Boo Boo. He handled like a champ and is recovering well.

He has a binkie in his mouth because he has started only looking at the camera if he has one in. If he sees a camera now he won't do whatever he was doing before you get it out. I've been dying to get him doing the sign of the cross for over two months and each time I try he refuses once he sees the camera.

surgery

We had our appointment and after many phone tag calls we have surgery scheduled for Next Thursday morning. I am not excited at all and can't wait for it to just be over. Prayers are welcome.

On another exciting note, Mark and I purched a new family car this past weekend. Lubbers did not have the color we wanted in stock so we had to wait until Wednesday to get it brought in from a lot in Oklahoma. We got a 2011 Chevey Traverse. There are way more bells and whistles than I will probably ever know how to use, but either way am very excited about it. I will add a picture of it to this post soon as Mark is in Canada and hasn't actually gotten to see our vehicle.
These are not great pictures as they are in the garage with weird light, but I wanted Mark to be able to see it.

Boo Hoo and Belly

This weekend sleeping did NOT go well for Jaren, Ok honestly it hasn't been going well for a few months for Jaren. He has been snoring his entire life, but the doctor has always said that if it wasn't affecting his sleep we wouldn't look into it any farther. By this I mean, his tonsils are fine, but they weren't sure about his adnoids.

So After he woke up at 2, 3, 4, and 5 on Sunday night I called the doctor Monday. Tuesday Mark took him in for a soft tissue x-ray of his neck and by Tuesday afternoon the doctor was calling saying we needed to get in as soon as possible. Jaren's adnoids were so big that they are almost making contact with his pallate.

This coming Monday I will be taking Jaren to a pre-appointment and we will be scheduling his outpatient surgery to have his adnoids removed. I AM NOT ready for this. Partially whey we waited a few months with bad sleeping as I was sure he was ok, and it was just a phase. I will let you all know as soon as we get is scheduled when it is going to be. In the mean time prayers now are welcome.



Here is my belly - this is a 29 week picture. I went to the doctor at 28 weeks and everything is going well. They are still finding traces of protein, but with my outstanding blood pressure they are not worried about anything. Saying that at 28 weeks I was measuring 31 weeks. If I continue to measure big another sonogram will be scheuduled and my due date will be moved up. Fingers crossed so at least if I have to go two weeks over it is an earlier two weeks. I'm really feeling my size latly and know the last 2 and a 1/2 months will be long. We are going vehicle shopping this weekend to get ready for our growing family.
