Well here I am again apologizing for not writing sooner... story of my life really. Random thought.. how the heck to people have more than one kid!! I am sooooo busy with two that somedays I don't go to the bathroom!! (not really but it feels like it sometimes) Lance is 8months old now and I'm just finishing up the 6 month pictures....uhhh.
Anyways he is doing soooo well! I don't have his stats right next to me but I remember that he was in the 50% for his height and weight. Just perfect--haha at least I think so! He is still breastfeeding and we are loving it. He only will nurse for about 15 min anymore cause the world has so much else going on. He is the most distractable baby!! If Emma even makes a sound he tries to find her and figure out what she's doing. He loves watching every little thing. She is helping him learn to crawl by 'Showing' him all the time. He does get on his knees and push backwards and he scoots backwards but he cant figure out how to go forward yet.
Emma is in a tumbling gymnastics group and is loving it! Two weeks ago we had a little scare though... She fell at gym and hit her head. Later that afternoon-after her nap she woke up and she wasn't feeling well. I called the pediatrician and they said just to watch her and if she started vomiting then she 'needed to be seen'. Well half an hour later she threw up! When I picked her up she was super hot so I took her temp and it was 102. Dang! I called the Dr's back and they said take her to the ER right away and have a CT scan done. Well wouldn't you know there was a line clear to the door when we got there. We were filling out a card for patient info and she threw up all over Brad and the floor. The nurse came and took us back right away to get Emma changed and get the CT started. Her temp was 104 when they checked us in. We ended up waiting for about 45 min (which is good for the ER- bad for Lance). Once we got in a room the Dr said that the temp wasn't from a possible head injury but from something else. We ran all sorts of test and the only thing they came up with was a possible UT infection. They gave her some antibiotics in a shot form and told us to watch her. If it didn't get better then they wanted to test her for Meningitis!! We have a wonderful neighbor that came and got Lance so he wasn't at the hospital all night with us and we didn't get home till 11pm. Her temp didn't come down for three days and she just looked so sick. It finally broke and she started feeling better, so thank goodness!!
Brad and I are doing good. We are starting a diet this week and will be going on more walks than we have been. We both need to loose some weight!! I think he puts on weight when I get pregnant, so for the last two babies he has gained just as much as I have. It will be good for both of us.
Lance and I did make a quick trip back to South Dakota at the end of August. My grandfather passed away and we flew out for the funeral. It was a very short trip and nice to see everyone and be with family. Its going to be so weird going home for Thanksgiving and not having them there to visit with. I know though that they are together and out of pain.
Well that's about it for now! I'm sure there will be more coming up and HOPEFULLY I wont be gone or so long again!!
