Boy or Girl?

Well we are down to the four week wait when we will be able to have our ultrasound and make sure the baby is healthy and growing and... find out if it's a boy or a girl. Post your prediction here and we'll see who comes out right. So what do you think... Boy or Girl?

Long Time... No Blog

Okay to all you faithful blog readers, I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get back to blogging. I've been sick and tired, so that takes the #1 spot these days.
For all who were wondering we are expecting only 1 baby (yes for a minute we thought we were having twins!) But we had an ultrasound on Tuesday and it confirmed one little baby, only an inch and a half long. It always seems to be so much more real once you have an ultrasound.
Now to update you on what's been going. We had a great 4th of July. We had our annual rocket shoot off in the morning and Christian did not like being up close and personal with the rockets (too loud) but he seemed to enjoy himself from a ways back. Also we had a family bbq where it was nice to touch base with all the cousins and their wives and husbands. We had a slip and slide outside for all the kids but Christian slept through the whole thing! So when he woke up we got him into his swimsuit and turned on a sprinkler for him to play with.

Christian Loves To Feed Himself!

We are officially at the point where Christian wants to feed himself. In fact not only does he love to feed himself but he wants to feed the person who gave him the food, he thinks that's pretty great. So every day when it's time to eat, you better believe that I'm being fed by Christian something that's on his tray. He's just completely adorable right now, he has become very brave and is starting to walk around the house all by himself. I'll post some videos soon.

Poor little Christian was super sick that whole week with a high fever and throw ups. He was not getting any better and the doctors were monitoring him with me over the phone. But come day five he still was having throw ups and fever so they admitted him to the hopsital for an IV and some blood tests to find out if there was something more serious happening in his little body.
It was so sad when we got to the hospital because we thought Christian would struggle and scream when they tried to put the IV in, but all he did was lay there and moan. It was devastating feeling like you could not do anything to help him.
Wihtin the first hour of being there they put in a IV took a whole bunch of blood, gave him a Tylenol sappository, and they tried a catheter because they wanted a Urin sample, but he was so dehydrated they couldn't get anything out. Thankfull, slowly, but surely the IV helped give him the strength to fight off the virus (that was the consesus, all the testing came back negative so it was just a very bad gastro virus). We were there for 2 days and 2 nights and hope not to repeat it EVER again!
This sad is cute and sad. When Christian was sick he just wanted to sit in your lap, he especially loved laying his head in Dan's hands.

Graduation

Well, we have had a crazy, crazy last couple of weeks. First, Dan graduated YEAH!!!! We are all very excited. I was so proud of him watching him on stage, it's nice to know we are finished with school and moving on with the next chapters of our lifes.

My Birthday came in the midst of graduation and Christian being sick. That's right people, I'm 27! I know, I know, everyone says that's not old. But when you still feel 18, and in my mind my two older sisters are 25 and 27, it's a little mind blowing when you turn 27.
