Fun weekend but ending not so fun

This weekend was beautiful weather. We had a lot of fun outdoors. We also had a delicious dinner at my sisters home Saturday night to announce that my brother and sil are going to be baby E's godparents! They were soo happy! We had a wine night where each couple brought a bottle of wine for us to try. Oh boy it was a lot of wine. We stayed over late and the kiddos all slept together on the sofa ha!

Yesterday we spent most the day outside. It was really warm. Baby k at the end of the day didn't seem too well. He was very hot and first thing I thought of was heat exhaustion. Then last night his fever spiked to 104. It's still hovering at 100.2. I'm bringing him in to the doctor later on today. So today we will spend it indoors getting better. Hate when my little one is feeling down ;(

Ear infection superbug! Huh?

Little K had been trying to fight this ear infection that keeps hanging around! He has had 4 rounds of antibiotics. This weekend his fever spiked to 104 and was staying between 100-102 with tylenol.

I emailed his doctor and spoke to telehealth. Both suggested I see the doc Monday. Yesterday we saw our doc. He said we would need to do 3 days of 2 antibiotic injections to zap this bacteria. We are praying this works!!!

I am so worried and have been a mess the last couple days.

We are going this afternoon for the second round of shots. Then tomorrow another 2. And hopefully the infection will be gone.

I've also been reading up a lot about natural remedies. We will make sure we are adding probiotics to our diets to get the good bacteria back in his system and mine too! Adding lots of foods with vitamin C, lots of garlic and lots of other healthy foods in our diets to boost immunity.

The past 2 months have been crazy here with the flus.

How are you getting through this flu season??

A late New Years post

Things have been a little upside down here. So I haven't had a chance to really put my New Years resolutions together. That to come! Lifestyle changes to come in many areas of my life. I'm looking forward to many changes in 2013!

New Years Eve we spend at my sisters house with family. It was fun and the kids had a blast together.

We started the new year with being sick already ;( we are home today cuddling and resting.

So glad it's Friday tomorrow!

A week of ups and downs!

Whoa! This week was all over the place ! Tuesday I started a new job (well new dept in a place I worked at before) everyone there was soo happy to see me and it really felt nice that after a year and a half they were glad I was back!

Although I haven't been feeling myself! I've been sick with a cold/cough for the week! And so has baby K. Baby K had a fever of 39.5 today so we stayed home (insert stress here too for calling in sick to a new job) we both are on antibiotics and hopefully back to ourselves soon!

Yesterday we also had a big scare with my grandmother! She's 81 and last month she had a bad fall and hit her head. Since then she kept falling and was becoming weaker and weaker and unable to walk. My mom and aunt took her to the hospital and they did an emergency brain procedure on her because she had a blood clot of 3cm from the falls! We were terrified!!!! I went last night to hospital with my sister and cousins and the doctor explained the procedure to us. We felt better knowing exactly what they were going to do. The procedure was short and she is awake and talking today. We still don't know much details but we know she is doing well right now.

I'm exhausted! Life right now feels like a big mess and I'm really hoping things turn around soon!!

We are praying my grandmother is out for Christmas. And praying we are all healthy and can enjoy the holidays all together!!

With all this craziness happening. I am not done my Christmas shopping!

Night in the ER with baby boy

Little man has been sick with a fever and cough all week!

Yesterday his temp went back up and his breathing was pretty heavy. His nose was flaring and he was breathing fast as he was struggling to breathe ;(

I called telehealth (lucky to have this here). Talked to a nurse and with telling them all the symptoms they told us to go to the ER. So we headed down to sick kids to get checked out. The nurses and doctors were awesome. They gave him a ventilator mask (not sure what it's called) and they monitored his breathing. They told us he is fighting a virus and the worst of it is day 3-5 which we are at.

Kristian was so good at the hospital watching them take his temp and listen to his chest.

We got home at 4am. All 3 of us were pooped!

Ugh! the hardest thing is seeing your little one sick and not being able to do anything but try and comfort them. There were a lot of parents with sick kids last night, some very serious ;( He is doing better today and I'm praying for all the little kiddies fighting an illness ;( my heart aches for the families.

Zombiemoms taken to the next level

Hi, I'm tired... No wait... Exhausted! I can't tell you how my eyes are still even open right now.

Mr K has been sick with a cold, ear infection now a cough since he started daycare last month.

Last night was the worst. He cried ALL night. He slept only a couple of hours and not in a row. We were up all night! I stayed home with him today to bring him to the doctor. He has a bad cough and he prescribed a puffer.

Kristian is soo tired too. Last night was too much even for him (mr hates sleep)

He hasn't been eating to well either the past 2 days ;( which makes me worry he will drop some weight.

Ahh the stresses of a mom!!! And work? I don't even want to talk about it. But the last 2 days I was located Downtown in the mall. Love DT and the mall ha! but not the drive when you live in the suburbs ;) and not when daycare calls that baby has a fever and getting to him takes over an hour.

Praying my little guy gets over this bug and gets a break from it all too!!!

It's been kookoo for cocoa puffs around here

Haha I always say that! I Really do feel like I'm kookoo these days.

My sweet little guy is still sick ;( his ear infection isn't gone yet, and after the first round of antibiotics I thought he would be better, then a week went by and he seemed to be getting worse!

He had a fever all day yesterday and I decided to work from home today and bring him to the doctor. His ear infection is back or never left and he is now on his second round of antibiotics.

I'll work from home tomorrow too. I want him back to his fun little self again!!!

Trying to find work life balance is so hard with a little one. Especially these days when they are sick and need you.
It's sooo hard! I can't send him to daycare like this. He needs all day cuddles!!!

Colds, Ear infection, hospital. My busy week!

This is my last week, well down to last Friday tomorrow of my maternity leave. It's back to work Monday! :(

This week has been soo busy!

My mom had day surgery yesterday and stayed over night. I brought her in and stayed with her for a bit yesterday then stayed with her all day today too. I have a cough that is driving me crazy! The hospital has big signs saying to not even enter if you are sick... hmm but it's a hospital weird ha! But I followed their rules and wore a mask... ummm I was the only one! And everyone looked at me funny. But the air in the hospital was sooo dry that it had me coughing soo much! Ugh!


haha!!!


I brought my mom some magazines and a warm scarf which she loved. Everything went well with her surgery and she is back home today.


I dropped her off about 4pm today then headed to get baby K at daycare.

We have all been fighting a cold here and this morning I thought that I better bring Kris to the doctor before I go back to work! So after I picked him up from daycare we went to the doctor. Kris was cranky and in no mood to be there. Neither was I! I was soo tired and hungry from running around all day! I told the doctor that he had been stuffy for about 9 days! He took a look and said that he has a ear infection. Because he was stuffy for so long and hasn't been able to blow it out, it infected his ear. He faxed the pharmacy the prescription and I went down to pick it up. It took about 10 minutes thank goodness no longer, carrying the baby, his jacket my purse and diaper bag I was completly exhausted. Then we rushed home for dinner, both of us were starving!

So glad I am home now in my pj's relaxing. What a day!

Daycare update: Kris did really well today, they even got him to drink 4oz of milk and 1 whole yogurt! He ate all his lunch and all his snacks as usual haha. His teachers always mention how he loves to eat haha. When I walked in today he was crawling around, I watched for a bit until he noticed me and he got so excited and cried until I picked him up.

Yesterday he got back his proofs from picture day. Look how cute!!!! He looks like such a big boy! How did they get him to pose so well hahaha :)

Daycare update and Halloween fun

Kristian has adjusted so well at daycare.

Here are some notes from yesterday.
-ate most his lunch and drank water
-had cookies for snack and ate so many along with 3oz of milk!!
- took 2, 45 min naps
- was so good and only cried when fighting his first nap haha

They had a halloween party at daycare yesterday and I called in the afternoon and his teacher said "Kristian is having a blast!" His friends gave him treats too! Oops I didn't bring any for his friends! I didn't think of that! I will next time.

Last night he was getting stuffy so I kept him home with me today. I couldn't send him to daycare knowing he was unwell. He needs his mama to help him get better!

He seems to be doing better already.

Hope you all had a great Halloween! Here are some of our Halloween pics!

What a weekend.

It's a long weekend here. Today is family day so my husband is off. We had a busy weekend out. Friday I spent the whole day with my sister shopping. I bought Kristian 2 suits for upcoming weddings. Saturday we had my cousins birthday party which was really fun and also went to visit my grandparents and celebrated my husbands birthday with his family yesterday. Lots of running around! But lots of fun. Kristian loves being out and about.

Saturday night I was sooo sick!! I think it was food poisoning. I was throwing up so much and had really bad cramping ;( I still feel nauseous today but haven't thrown up since, ugh! Don't even remember when the last time I was sick like that. I think it may have been the food court food. Never again will I eat there! Blah!!!

Here are some weekend pics ;)

Flu season and my baby boy

I have the worst mommy guilt going on over here. Kristian will be 2 months old tomorrow and he already caught a bad cold ;(. I feel soo bad that I couldn't protect him from these germs. They were probably air born from anyone during our Christmas events. We were around lots of family and it is flu season.

Kristian is soo stuffy and coughing a lot.

Monday night we had a scare because he was gasping for air.

We spoke to tele health and they advised us to go to the ER.

We took him to the ER and he got checked out. They did a X-ray on his little chest ;( to make sure his lungs were ok.

They said it was just a cold and to be aware of any heavy breathing or fever.

I've been putting saline drops in his nose and suctioning out phlegm. We also have been sitting in the bathroom with the hot water running.

Praying he gets better soon. He's too little to be sick with a nasty cold ;(

Baby's First Christmas

 My sweet boy's first Christmas!

We had a wonderful weekend with our families. Christmas eve we spent with my side of the family. Our family is growing so instead of cooking for soo many of us we ordered food. We had two different types of pastas, veggies and seafood. It was delicious! Christmas day we spent with my husbands side and enjoyed a delicious Turkey lunch.

 Kristian received sooo many great gifts! lots of toys and lots of clothes! I just did 2 loads of laundry just for him! He also got 7 pairs of shoes too haha!
 This was our gift to baby Kristian this year. A casting of his little 6 week feet. I love it! We put it up in his room :)
We got this done with http://www.memoriesmade.ca/
My SIL gave me a gift certificate towards a baby massage class. I'm so excited to sign up in the new year!

We had a really good weekend and I'm soo happy that baby Kristian is now a part of our lives, I love him sooo much!

Last night my little boy was coughing. I was feeling pretty stressed out about it. I'm also monoritung him for a virus my little niece was just diagnosed with yesterday. I'm praying so hard that he doesnt catch it. My little niece is soo sick and in so much pain from the Coxsackie virus. Praying my sweet niece feels better soon!

Hope you all had a great Christmas
