On the Way Up

Ezekiel is doing much better. He's been on an antibiotic since last Tuesday. I'm hoping that nothing else comes up. Malachi seems completely healthy. Ezekiel is a lot like Malachi. They both have a high tolerance for pain/sickness.

I am unofficially a wedding planner for an upcoming wedding, and I'm so stoked!

I work tomorrow and then not again until next Monday!

Ezekiel is getting his 9 month pictures on Wednesday (and maybe a few with Malachi).

We have a busy Thanksgiving and will have some more Turkey on Friday, and I think that we'll cook for the first time. Woo-hoo!!!

Ezekiel Update

You know how I told you that Ezekiel was sick for the first time. He's had a drippy nose for over a week. He was fine most of the day Monday and seemed pretty happy. Well, he woke up Monday night/Tuesday morning about 12:30. He wouldn't go back to sleep in his crib and kept screaming. He ended up sleeping on me the rest of the morning (and I slept only a little). He didn't feel really warm to me, but I was also very tired, before I went to work. Daniel called me around lunch time saying that his grandmother had called and was concerned. Ezekiel was fussing all morning and had slept a lot more than usual. He made an appointment, and I took my boy to the doctor at 2:30pm. It's nice to have an afternoon planning time, sometimes.

The doctor said he had fluid behind both of his ears, and it would only get worse. He prescribed a mild antibiotic. Ezekiel has been much better since. I'm not one who likes to let my child have a bunch of antibiotics just because, but I sure didn't want to go through many more nights like the one before.

I went home, clipped some coupons, and grabbed my two boys, and headed out the door to Harris Teeter. He rode in the Baby Bjorn in the store instead of the cart to make sure he wouldn't get any more sick. He napped for another hour when we got home (6-7pm). He got up for about 2 hours and was down for the count. He slept through the night that evening. He's a little still off schedule, but is doing much better.

My Boys

The 3 cutest males in the whole entire world!
I love my boys!!!

"Momma, what are you feeding me?"

"Who put this hat on my head, Malachi?"

"I'm cute, and I know it."

"'I'm on a mission' to be potty-trained." (And it's not going too well right now.)

(Malachi tries to boycott naps sometimes by playing in his room. Ezekiel was napping and Daniel and I were ready to nap after a typical, crazy Sunday morning. We put up the gate in the hallway and ignored his knocks at our door. After he got quiet, and we actually fell asleep; THIS is what I found outside my door when I went to get Ezekiel out of his bed to feed him. He slept through the flash of my camera [twice] and the occasional screams of his little brother. "Hey, Malachi, you know if you go to sleep when you are supposed to, you won't have to sleep on the floor in the hall, and you'll be in a better mood in the evening. Just a thought.")
