Thank Goodness for Thanksgiving!

We've had a crazy week! Last Thursday, Jackson hit his head on the wall running in the house and actually dented the wall with his head. I took him to the Doctor's office and they said it was a mild concussion and to call back if he threw up or if he exhibited any behaviors that were out of character. The egg went away by the next day but on Saturday I woke him up to find puke in his crib which continued after breakfast. I called the Doctor's office again and they said to take him to the Infant ER downtown right away for a cat scan. I called Scott off of the golf course and we went only to discover that he now had the stomach flu. The vomiting continued into Sunday night so we tried to make him sleep with us (not a good idea). I woke up about every 3o minutes to find him with either a finger in my ear, a toddler right on top of me, kicking, etc. Around 3am I finally took him back to his crib since he had not thrown up again by that point. On Monday night though, I started vomiting. We are all better now, just in time for Thanksgiving! Here are the pictures of our poor little guy's head...

Ultrasound Photos

I was finally able to scan these. We find out what we are having in just a few weeks! We are so excited!

Colder Days

It's getting cold in New Mexico. There were reports of snow yesterday in some parts of the state. Everyone in our house has the sniffles.

Here is a picture of Jackson in one of his new outfits that Gamme & Paw Paw brought him when they visited last week. Scott and I were talking this morning when I took them that he doesn't look at all like a baby anymore, much less a child under two! We can't believe how fast time has flown by and are looking forward to our new addition in May!



I had another ultrasound on Halloween and they said the baby's heart rate is 167 bpm. I've heard that girls have higher heart rates than boys so I am optimistic for our next ultrasound on December 10th. Although, I'm pretty sure Jackson's was 167 too, but with so much in storage, I don't know where I put the ultrasound photos to check! I have a Doctor's appointment tomorrow and will keep everyone updated!

Happy Halloween!

For Halloween we started off a little crazy because I couldn't find his treat pail anywhere! We used this little treat bag and had to take a backup to empty it into which was fine since we took Jackson trick or treating in the golf cart. It went with his costume. He had so much fun ringing doorbells and waiting for people to answer. He also shared some of his candy with one of our neighbor's dogs (with the owner's permission of course). We mostly went to people's houses we know along the golf course and a few others in our neighborhood. He was adorable running up to doors and back to the cart.

For some reason, the flash wasn't on when Scott tried to take pictures. I think I need to give him a camera lesson...

Look at that face!
