We have been so busy the last few weeks, I thought it was time I sat down and do a little updating.
Our sweet little baby came down with RSV this last week. We have finally turned a corner with it, though, thank goodness! A parent feels so helpless with an infant who is hacking up a lung. Poor little thing. I took her in last Tuesday because she was getting progressively worse with a slight fever and labored breathing. Monday night I held her close to me all night and I slept with one eye open. She was breathing so fast, was very rattley, and she was uncomfortable. A mom always has those anxious moments when your kid is really sick. But it is magnified by ten times now. I am just so scared to loose her. I was afraid she was going to stop breathing and I envisioned myself holding her...lifeless. But before I could get too batty she turned a corner and is back to smiling her big, gummy smile.
Liv is really turning into a little flirt. She bats her long eyelashes and flashes a big smile while starring into my eyes with an intensity. I love those moments when you are feeding your baby and they can't take their eyes off you. She is definately a happy baby. And why wouldn't she be? She is adored around the clock:)
We have had some big changes in our household over the last three months. Obviously Livie was born 3 months ago. Going from two kids to three has been overall a smooth transition. However, I think things have gone pretty smooth because I have had an extra set of hands helping me here and there throughout the day. Cory's company was in process of being sold in the last few weeks of my pregnancy. With that it meant there was going to be some big changes. Not a great time in our life for another major change (stress upon stress upon stress) but we tried to focus on all the positive aspects. For one, Cory has been working out of our house since after Christmas. That means he sees the kids a whole lot more! He is now a consultant for the company that purchased ACN. We set him up an office in our living room downstairs. Which means he doesn't have to rush out the door in the morning to head to the office. He gets to snuggle the kids in the morning and see them off to school. The kids are absolutely thrilled that they get to have extra time with their dad whom they adore. He is able to spend more time with Liv than he ever would have before. He even gets to bring Grace to school once in a while. He loves being here to greet the kids home from school. Although, they still have not grasped the concept that he needs to work and just can't play because he is here. They often will "tattle" on Cory to me. "Mom dad won't play with me right now!" And I will say, "Dad is working how about I play something with you?" "No, I want to play with dad." So I guess the biggest change for me has been accepting that I am no longer the cats meow during the day (granted, I was the only choice)! Dad is now getting all the offers to play:) I guess I can live with that for a while. 20 games of Hullaballoo gets a little boring!
