We were blessed with so much love and support during this hard time! We are truly grateful for each and every one of you!

I love you and miss you, Little Brother!!
So...I actually started up the stairs to go and check on Sophie to see if she was still sleeping...It's then that I remembered that she is not yet born and probably won't me for another 5 weeks...oops!
I am proud of myself that I am actually posting this within the month that the holiday happened! Go me!
We actually made heart cookies this year! I am striving to be a better mom where holidays are concerned. We have not done much "prep" for holidays so far, as most projects turn into disasters...and I tend to keep getting pregnant and tired! We're about done with that though...thank goodness! (Luckily, we made the cookies before V day...Sophie decided to nestle down on a nerve and I couldn't even walk on the 13th and 14th! Silly girl!)
Jack and Charlie decorated their own cookies this year. They each got a cookie, a plastic knife, a blob of frosting and some sprinkles on their plate. Charlie dove right into the eating part. I helped him to at least get some frosting and a few sprinkles on the cookie. No worries though, he licked up the extra frosting and sprinkles too! Jack, on the other hand, would not even think of eating the cookie until every sprinkle was atop it! Perhaps dumping the sprinkles on to the plate was not the greatest idea...at least not the most time-efficient idea! They enjoyed it though...and I did too!
I've decided that it is time! If you want an invite, leave a comment with your email address!
I'll switch it over on Feb 2nd.
I know that I am not alone in the thought that it is not fair for mom's to get sick...and this definitely includes pregnant moms that do daycare!! We have been passing around a nasty viral cold here. Jack had it for a few days...and them Charlie (who also has an ear infection) and now it is my turn! After 2 days where I was pretty much useless, I am finally starting to feel better, although I have NO energy! Aside from sickness, not too much is going on.
We do have an appointment for Jack to go and see and Ear/Nose/Throat doctor. It is funny how a mom (well, maybe just me) can let a lot of little symptoms slide by and never put 2 and 2 together! After talking to a friend and after not thinking of any concerns at his 3 year check-up, I discovered that it is very likely that Jack has sleep apnea. He snores constantly, barfs whenever he has a cough, gags all the time and fills his mouth with a ton of food before he has to swallow...so, after Travis talked to the doc, we are thinking he is going to need his tonsils out! What fun! We go in on Feb 15th. I would rather go through the awful recovery than not though. Apparently sleep apnea is not good for the heart! Scary! Glad we are going to get him in...hopefully before the baby gets here!
