Another Long Long Night

Can I just say My husband is a GEM!! He has slept with Nate on his chest the past two nights to comfort Nate. Travis has also taken care of me too because I have been sick also.
So .. You all know that a child whom is sick is no fun. Poor Nate has this new thing of sleeping from 7:30 ish - 11:00pm then gets up screaming crying. The last 5 nights he has had this pattern. We think he still is suffering from his ear infections, we are going back to the doctor tonight to see why Tots is becoming a night owl. He is happy all day at daycare. Anyone whose been through this please give us some tips to the Newbies!! 8 Days till he is 1!!!!

Till next time!

Double Ear Infections

For the past 2 days our family has been sleepy. Poor Nate's has been cranky and sick trying to recover from his cold. Thursday 8/14 we he slept 3 hours total. Friday night went down at 7 and woke up at 10. He was crying this whole time so we decided to take him up to OHSU on the hill.. ( We have re tared insurance this is the only place we can go) ie.. Travis is an OHSU employee.. Lucky us! We get up there in 40 min from the country. The waiting room is not that packed. So I figure 2 hours tops... Well there are tons of people coming in and out and some waiting people are moving in and out. They call us back for the vitals and I am thinking cool maybe an hour will be out of here... So at 2:45 am I ask the nurse how much longer.. "She says we have people back in the ER rooms and there waiting also I would says 6-8 hours" I was like " WHAT" I looked at Travis in that way that I do like going from nice wife to Enraged at OHSU.. I guess there policy for kids is that they can wait too. I guess in all honesty you have to be dying in order to see someone. So we can home slept for 3 hours. We woke up called the pediatricon and went in. Turns out Nate has double Ear infection.. He is now on all our favorite Bubble gum liquid... He seeming to be feeling better and we hope that we can get a full nights sleep.

Nate at 11 Months

Ok so I am a little late in Bloggin like other moms.

So here is an Update!!!

Well....... Lets see Nate is 11 months now and he weighs 17 lbs 2 ounces and 24 inches long. Nate is at a new Day Care that we love. He has has made so many strides in a little time. Nate's eating habits are coming around he has sampled chicken nuggets, fish sticks, vanilla wafers, kix cereal. We think his top 2 teeth are coming in. ( Crank Monster).

Thank you for all those who bought Fudge from Nate as his first Fundraiser for his class.

My dad was just here for 5 days.. Oh Vey! It went well no major issues only little ones! He will be back in 2 weeks so that will be OK because Mom will be here!
