Monday.

Today, has been the worst Monday, of ALL Monday's.

It started around 5:00 this morning. I rolled over, and moved my foot... and I felt something cold and smushy. Im not used to feeling cold and smushy things in my bed. Ever. So, I woke Michael up and had him turn the light on. We found that our dog had decided to barf in the bed. Wonderful. The best part was that it was cold... meaning that it had been there for a while with us sleeping by it. Gross. So then we took of the sheets and put different sheets back on... but Breydon woke up. So at 5:30, Breydon was up and ready for the day, as wide-eyed as could be.

Last night Breydon had started wheezing real badly, but I just passed it off as his reflux ((which can sometimes sound like wheezing)). But this morning it was worse, so I just called his doctors office and talked to a nurse. She could hear him wheezing in the background and asked me to bring him in within the hour. So, in we went. The doctor listened to him, and then wanted to do a breathing treatment to help him be able to breathe. It didnt work. He is breathing 2x faster than he should be. His pulse ox was 99% which is good. But I have to take him back to the doctor for the next 2 days to make sure he's not getting any worse, and to make sure that he doesnt need the hospital. They will also try the beathing treatment again to see if it will do anything for him. He has RSV... the sickness that he's been getting shots to prevent since November. Poor kid. :( At least he's still smiling. You can always count on him to be a happy boy.

When we were in the waiting room before he saw the doctor, there were a few other little guys his age in there. He was really fascinated with one of them... he was talking, and smiling, and screaming at this little guy. :) Then he would turn to the other baby and talk and smile at him... He's my little social guy. Just like daddy, making friends with everyone.

All of the sudden Breydon feels huge. Like, I woke up one morning, got him out of his crib and took him to the living room and to change his diaper and stuff. And when I picked him up again, he just felt huge! Solid. Not at alllll like a tiny baby. :( It makes sence I guess... now that he's sitting and lots more active he would be gaining muscle. But still. It was overnight it seemed. I have one of those red cross baby scales here at home, and it's always been right with the pediatricians scale. Accoring to that, he weighs 21 pounds and 3 ounces. How can that be!? He was only 19 pounds and 15 ounces a month ago! Mike also go the tape measure out... he put a book at his head and a book at his feet. Accouring to that he's also grown an inch. I guess we are doing the whole growth spurt thing again. Which, again, makes sence since hes eating 10 ounces every time he eats. :)

I went to the family doctor today. I have these beautiful bright red welts on my face. They were worse yesterday... my right eye was half swollen shut. Lucky for me, today I can indeed open it up all of the way. I have been used to having these spots all over me, but its hardly ever on my face. So I figured that it was time to get it taken care of. For real this time. So, to the allergist I go in a few weeks. Im not scared or nervous or anything... I obviously dont WANT to get poked over 100 times with needles... but its OK. Its a good thing that I got lots of shots when I was pregnant with Breydon! Now Im a pro. :)

Vacation is verrrrrrrrrrrry soon! ((okay, maybe not very soon, more like a few months away) I am SO excited to take Brey to play in the ocean, and to play in the sand with him. I hope he isn't scared of it... I know it will be all new to him. The good thing though, is that he's not a baby that gets scared or overwhelmed very easily. Hes just like his daddy. :) So hopefully he will just be wide eyed for the first little bit, and then warm up to all the new things.

Just a bit of a flashback/comparison to where we started to where we are now...

The day he came home... 12 days old.

And a week or so ago.

Slooooooooooooooow it down baby Breydon!

Needs No Words.

I. AM. IN. LOVE.

The rest are yet to come!

Can I just say that I love my family MILLIONS??

We just got back from Akron. It was a great time!! I wish we were going back this weekend... but I guess Easter is close enough. :)

This morning's events though, have left me FRIED. My gramma, Brey's great gramma comes over on Tuesday and Thursdays and watches him for a few hours for me while I go to class. She is always alway always on time. Never late. If anything she's quite early. I normally leave the house by 8:00. When is was getting close to 8, I started getting nervous, so I got Brey's stuff together ((just in case)) and tried to get ahold of her. No such luck. So, at 8:10, I packed us up and headed for my midterm. I got ahold of my mom on the way and she came and held him while I took my test. It ended up working out, but I was so worked up and stressed that I have noooo idea how I did on this midterm. But I think it went well. Im hoping that Breydon was my lucky charm :)

Pshew!!!!

We just got over our first ear infection. That was brutal. If he wasn't knocked out by the Tylenol with Codeine his peditrician gave him, he was screaming. We actually had to backtrack about 7 months, and wake the poor little guy up to eat, otherwise he would have slept through all his meals. Gradually his fever went down, and we started giving him less and less Tylenol and now we are good. Thank goodness, that was the worst week of. my. life. Plus I just hate seeing my baby in pain, knowing theres nothing I can do about it.

Yesterday he was being especially cute... so mommy did a photoshoot! Here are some shots from yesterday:
