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!

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...

DIY ok to wake clock!

Recently, I added an "OK to wake" clock in my Amazon shopping cart. Hasting needs help determining when the time is appropriate for him to wake, and when it's appropriate for him to come out of his room. Some days it's normal hours, others, not so much. I need time to myself to start my day. I've been wanting to wake around 6am myself, have time to make (and enjoy) a HOT cup of coffee, meditate, complete some morning yoga, and talk to Jesus. BUT , with a kid thinking it's ok to take over my space at 6am, I haven't been able to even START that sort of routine.  A while back a friend had talked about a DIY "ok to wake" clock. Up until now, I had shoved the idea off, and wanted to just buy one because they seemed cooler, lit up, and played cool noises. But, I quickly discovered they're $30. So, I decided since I had all I needed to do the DIY clock, why not give it a whirl first, seeing as I love being thrifty and like saving money and all. So, ...

Strawberry Oat Flaxseed Muffins

I'm a sucker for muffins, and even better... So is my son. Which in my case is great.  I used to buy the lovely processed packages that we are all guilty of probably purchasing at least  once.. Right? But then, once upon a time, we decided that crap is SO bad for us. As much as I hate cooking, I've actually found that the more I do it, and the healthier it is, the more I like to do it.  So I started looking around for muffin recipes that I could basically just alter, and pump with natural ingredients to replace things like butter and sugar, and preservatives to be replaced with real fruit. May I also add, homegirl at pioneer woman has got it goin on (I love her recipes).  So here's what I came up with. ** You can use bananas instead of honey as a sweetener if you'd like, but since Hasting is having issues with bowel movements, I'm staying clear of bananas atm. Use 2 bananas if you use bananas ** 2.5C old fashioned oats  1C vanilla Greek yogurt 2 eggs  3 tsp...
