First Cold :/



Today I had to take Hasting to his doctor, & turns out he has his first official bad cold :/

Earlier last week Chad was sick & went to the doctor. He ended up having an Upper Respiratory Infection, an ear infection in his left ear, & Vertigo (makes you dizzy). He was given Amoxicillon (sp) & was out of work for 4 days. Then I started getting sick :/ I didn't go to the doctor, instead I immediately started taking Amox. 

Hasting had a cough at his 2 month check up (2/28), but his doctor told us not to worry about it, that he was just a little congested and it was that time of year. Last night I started worrying about his cough a little more. He sounded more congested and was getting fussy. When he was crying it seemed harder for him to catch his breath, and sometimes he would gag himself from coughing so much!

So this morning when I woke up I called the doctor and we went in. We weren't able to see his regular doctor, but I was thankful we saw the doctor we did because he specialized in respiratory. 

He told us that from the looks and sound of Hasting he had contracted what Chad had brought into the house, but more than likely got it from me, because I'm home with him 24/7. He said he was glad to hear that Hasting was NOT running a fever and was still eating well and wasn't having any diarrhea. Unfortunately, since Hasting is still so young there isn't anything that we can do for him except to ride it out (and keep a humidifier running in his room).

I am so thankful that he isn't SUPER sick and isn't running a fever, but it still breaks my heart to see him cough his little lungs off :/

On a good note, Hasting was weighed and continues to gain weight. He is up to 12 pounds and 4 ounces, which is great! It's going to be time to go shopping soon! Little man is in 3-6 month old clothes now!

Please say prayers that our little man can get rid of this nasty cough soon!

you wouldn't know it here, but this is before we went back to be seen at the doctor's office today!

Our 12 pound 4 ounce baby boy!

My Honest Answer 

"Oh I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up, but I know a heart thats broke is a heart that's been loved"..."When God takes you back he'll sing hallelujah you're home". Today we went to church, for the first time since I'm not even sure when. It's also where we had the funeral of our son. We got in the car, and I wasn't sure how I was going to handle pulling back in to that church. I think it's partially why I was secretly hoping that when we DID return back to church it would be elsewhere. But, in all fairness, I've grown very fond of Pastor Daniel and the whole congregation of that church. So I decided not to speak up to my husband about visiting a different church, because I knew once we got inside I would be happy I chose to come back to one of the places we said our final goodbyes to our son. We pulled in, and my eyes did swell with tears, but I held them back. Flashbacks from the funeral just kept cre...

Setbacks Over Progress. 

Tonight I was going through my phone, looking through old notes I had left myself in my phone. I noticed one from December 31, 2017. It was before 2018 hit us, and 10 days before our world started to  turn completely upside down.  It was a list of all the good things and accomplishments of 2017.  “Became pregnant with our fourth child”.  Just like that.  I remembered something I’ve been doing a LOT of recently. I’ve caught myself if the good moments, reflecting, but not in a good way. I look at old photos, from before Sadler, or before his pregnancy took a high risk turn, and I just bask in those moments of happiness. I try so hard to remember the happiness i felt in those photos. And just like that, hello guilt.  Almost 5 months has passed, and while there is no routine of how grief plays out, you begin to realize patterns and ways of how you deal and cope with all things associated with your grief. But as the time goes on, you start to notice thi...

My New Fav Go-To Baby Shower Gift - The Breastfeeding Support Basket

A friend of mine is expecting her first baby next month! I wanted to get her something special and meaningful. I knew she was planning to breastfeed, and since it is a topic very close to my heart, I thought a gift of things to make that journey easier for her would be special! I had a lot of fun putting it together too!  I remember what it was like when I had Hasting. Before he was born, I thought breastfeeding was something that just came natural. You just stick your child to the breast, and it was all hunky dory from there.. Easy right? Not necessarily for all new mommies. I missed out on the support that I really needed from others. Sure, I had the support of my husband. But like me, he was new at this breastfeeding thing too.. And it's not like it was something he studied. If I didn't, he surely didn't.  Support from other nursing mothers is one of the BIGESST backbones a new nursing mother can have. Breastfeeding support and help holds a big place in my heart. If it w...
