Sickness Update/Video Blogging

So yup we were sick. Nate was the worst. His breathing was so bad Dr. Kopper (who is Kelly from the NICU's daddy!!) had Nate do a nebulizer treatment right there in the office. Nate was a big mess all day and everything hurt. Alex was pretty good, he does have a minor ear infection (surprise, surprise!) but other than that he is good.

So yesterday we hung out with Mommy all day and didn't let her get anything done on her day off. Today Alex was much better so he got to go to school, Nate however needed another day of resting, so he hung out with Mommy all day.

We decided to do some video blogging. So here we are. Today! Enjoy

Yucky Day!

Having a sick day with Mommy today. We both are congested and just all around yucky today, plus it's raining. We will let you know what the verdict is after our Dr. Appointment.

However, check out Kerri's blog and see if you can figure out what we are so excited about! - http://kerringtonsadventures.blogspot.com/2011/09/night-out-at-nanas.html

:cough: :cough: hi again

Yup we are all still sick over here. Mommy got it the worst. We are doing fine... a little snot won't stop us. However we forgot to mention that we went to the doctor's on Saturday and we also got weighed. So here are the numbers. Alex weighed (full dressed with shoes on) 26 lbs! Nate (also fully dressed) hit the big 3-0! However we are still considered light weights compared to our friends and cousins. Kerrington is 20 lbs and she is only 7 months old!

Also if anyone knows mother nature's phone number can you call her up and tell her that there are two little boys itching to go outside and Mama doesn't go out if it's below 40 degrees. Some sunshine and no windchill would be nice.

Oh and videos are coming... we promise!

Grandparents, Pop-Pop, Doctors... oh my!

What a busy week we have had! Tuesday night we went to Nana and Grandad's house with Mommy and spent the night. Wednesday morning we went to Pop-Pop's again and visited him with Mommy and Grandad. This time they got smart and locked us into our strollers... though we did get to climb on Pop-Pop and his wheel chair... and we attempted to play with the tv, phone, remote controls, sink, toilet.... you know... the usual.

Nana and us reading one of our favorite books! "I Spy"

Pop-Pop

Yesterday Grandma came to visit us and while she was here Mommy took Alex to a head specialist from Johns Hopkins University to see why his head is so small. They met Daddy at the doctors office and Alex had tons of fun exploring the exam room. He was such a good boy and didn't get into too much trouble, though he did try to throw away Mommy's car keys a couple times. But it was good news all around. Nothing is wrong with his head medically, he will probably just have a smaller than average sized head due to the helmet and just being a small guy.

So word on the street is that Grandma is here for the weekend and Grandpap is on his way into town as well. YAY! We will have lots of fun.... as long as it doesn't ran.... oh and who turned on the chill? Mommy has been pulling out long sleeved shirts and sweaters and our long pants. Does that mean it's almost Christmas?

Eye Doctor

Yesterday we had an eye doctor appointment and its fairly good news all around. Nate's eyes look great and he doesn't need to go see Dr. W. for 3 YEARS! He will be 5 years old the next time he goes to the eye doctor... well for a check up... since he will have to tag along to Alex's eye doctor appointments. Alex's lazy eye is looking great but he is going to stay on the drops for at least 3 more months, then he goes back in to get checked again. But Dr. W. loved how his eyes looked... so YAY!!!!!!!

More later... we have some playing to do!

Hello!

So we had fun this weekend. We went for walks with Grandma and Grandpap and Daddy, and we went to the park. Mommy was at a cake class all day so she didn't get to come with us...but next time she will! 

Monday we had our hearing tests and Alex did superb! He sat nice and still and didn't want to get down and play so he was able to do the whole test by sitting on mommy's lap and looking at the different areas of the room the sound came from. Nate didn't want to sit still... imagine that.. so he got the abridged version, so she tested enough to make sure he had the right hearing levels for learning, talking, and hearing Mommy when he gets in trouble. Both of us were in the normal range.. YAY!!!!! So now Mommy knows that we CAN hear her... we are just choosing to ignore her. The also tested for liquids in our ears, Nate's was fine but Alex had a little... but we knew he would since on Friday he Dr L said he did. So he has to go  back in 2 months and get that checked out to make sure that is gone. But good news all around for the most part. 

We are so excited about today. First of all the weather is fabulous and going to be in the 60s. But this morning we are going to Nana and Grandad's house... maybe we can go play outside a little... that would be fun! Then Aunt Katie is coming over for dinner and Uncle Ben may stop by if his work allows. YAY WE GET TO PLAY WITH AUNT KATIE!!!!! And Aunt Maureen is going to come over on Saturday to play! What a fun week we are going to have. Ok we need to go get read to go to N/G's house! 

here we go again...again

So um..... we are sick again.... still... We went to see nurse Jessica at the doctors office. We are back on nebulizers. We have been running fevers all weekend, including runny noses, coughs, and Nate has an ear infection. We are also on antibiotics and Tylenol. We go back to visit Nurse Jessica on Wed to see if we are getting better.

Grandma came in on Friday for the weekend (Grandpap stayed home sick) and she decided to stay till tomorrow morning to help out with us.

Even though we are sick events still happen. Alex was standing hanging on to baby jail and Mommy and Daddy went "YAY! *clap clap clap*" so Alex let go ed of the gate and clapped while standing.... before losing his balance and falling down. Nate has some news too... however his is not great. Nate was getting ready for a bath and was hanging on to the tub. Daddy bumped him on accident and Nate fell forward and hit his head on the edge of the tub and got a small cut and was bleeding (no one knows how he cut himself on a smooth tub). Luckily no ER run was necessary.

Thats all for now! Hopefully we will feel better soon!

Goings Ons

While we would like to say that both of us a fabulous weekend visiting Grandma and Grandpap while they were here.... Nate unfortunately can't say that. He has had the worlds worst diaper rash since Thursday or Friday. It got really bad over the weekend. Everyone was giving him baking soda baths and putting so much stuff on his butt. He didn't want to poop so he has been prolonging it from healing.

Today however Alex had an eye appointment to check on how his eye is doing post-surgery. Dr W was so excited with how well everything looks, however his right eye is still stronger than his left so on weekends Alex has to go back to getting drops put into his right eye to help strengthen up his left. While we were there we ran into Dr L (our pediatrician) who was taking her kids to see Dr W. She chatted with Mommy who went into detail about Nate's butt and Dr L suggested giving him prune stuff and some oil to help move things along and make him poop so everything could heal. Since then some poop has come out but Mommy is convinced that there will be more coming out soon.

Tomorrow we are off to Nana and Grandad's for Thanksgiving. We are going down ahead of Daddy so Mommy can visit with Uncle Stephen, and Great Uncles Greg and Chris and her cousins Megan and Rachel. Rachel is about our age and Megan is almost 4, so it should be fun to play with them. Plus tomorrow Aunt Courtney and Uncle Todd are stopping by for an over night visit before they go visit Uncle Todd's family. We hope they bring their dog Felix with them.

If we don't get to update before Thursday. HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!!!
