Rejoice again I say, REJOICE!!!

So either I did something amazing up in heaven and am totally being blessed for it, or I'm totally jinxing myself....but Kelson is sleeping through the night!! Whoop whoop!! The first night was a crying mess. The second he cried for an hour and slept through the night, and since then it's been wonderful sleeping bliss every since. It's about dang time! I know as soon as I publish this he'll wake up crying. He's actually been a little happier throughout the day because I think he's sleeping much better. No more late night feedings, no more children kicking me in my sleep, no more babies rolling off the bed....um I mean....I would never consciously let such a thing happen to my sweet precious child. (another reason we had to get him out!)






Kelson has had quiet the week. When they did his surgery they made an incision in his belly button. We couldn't even tell they did, but a few weeks ago it started getting red. Then last week it started growing a little bump. It was the size of a pea so I took him in to the Dr. (The receptionist actually had his record # memorized. How embarrassing, I'm totally that mom.) Kelson also had a little weird scab on one of the other places they made an incision. They weren't sure what it was so they tried to cauterize it off. It didn't work though. Turns out his body is rejecting the stitches and is actually pushing them out. How crazy! The weird scab was actually a stitch coming out. And his belly button was trying to push some out. It doesn't hurt him at all and we got some medicine so he's fine now. I just thought it was the strangest thing. Then this week he's had a fever and yucky nose. I think he's teething too. Yeesh. Poor kid can't catch a break. His mom is torturing him, he's sick, his stitches are comin out, his "pets heads are falling off!" (Ok so Lauren's the only one that will think that's funny)






These pictures are some random ones we had taken a few weeks ago at the park. I've put them up here for the grandmas.

    1. Friggen adorable pictures. If I can somehow get those that would be splendid. I would love to frame the one of Bryn and Kel on top so figure it out for me.

    2. I about died laughing about the pet's heads falling off. I just pictured you saying it and it made it even funnier.
