Boo Being Sick!

Well, we had a very interesting time with our little man. Isaac got pretty sick, and Chris and I both had to stay home with him and miss work. I got the experience of a baby getting X-rays. No one warns you how awful that will be. Isaac was strapped into this contraption that looked like a bike seat with plastic that covers the baby's top half. The parent (me) has to hold the baby's arms above his head and let him cry, so that the X-rays technican can get good shots of the baby breathing while in distress. Isaac was crying and crying, and I wasn't allowed to comfort him. I had to stand there and say nothing, just hold his hands about his head. It was a miserable experience, but they didn't find anything in his lungs. He just had a really bad cold. Chris had been fighting a cold throughout the previous few days to Isaac being sick. After the X-rays, Isaac and I hung out at home and worked on getting him better. We had some really rough, sleepless nights. Chris and Isaac both are feeling better, but they are not yet at 100%. We all are sleeping better, and it really helps being on our regular routine.

Chris found out from his mom that his sister-in-law is pregnant again! We are excited to welcome another niece soon. We aren't exactly sure when she will arrive, but her head is already down. They have chosen some unique names from the little girl; we are intrigued to see which name they will choose. Congratulations Taylor family!

Isaac's birthday is right around the corner! It is hard to believe that he is going to be one soon. I have started planning what we will do on his birthday and the weekend after. Because Isaac got so much for Christmas (we had to take a lot of toys back--it was just too much!), I wanted to let everyone know some items that he does need. We are in the process of opening a college savings account so we welcome donations to that. Isaac loves his daycare, so we would appreciate gifts that would pay for a week of daycare. Isaac wears size 4 diapers, so that is another great gift. He doesn't need clothes, and like I said previously, he doesn't need toys. We have toys in the attic that we haven't given him yet (they weren't age appropriate). We are excited to share Isaac's first birthday with everyone, so look for that post coming up (and some mail from Isaac as well).

No pictures this time--Chris has hidden the memory chip! Check out my facebook pages for images I took on my phone.
