An Answer to Prayer...

The other night Estin woke up at 3am SCREAMING! Justin and I spent an hour or more trying to calm him down and figure out what was wrong. We gave him milk, changed his diaper, gave him Tylenol, tried to rock him, let him come in our bed... NOTHING was working. We didn't know if his tummy hurt from the late dinner he had, or if he'd had a nightmare. Finally, I suggested we say a prayer in his behalf. Justin asked Heavenly Father to bless Estin to be able to tell us what was bothering him. Within seconds of saying amen Estin, in between sobs, says "Minner" (dinner). I looked at him funny and said, "Are you hungry? You want dinner?" IMMEDIATELY he stopped crying, perked right up and said "All Wight!" He was still HUNGRY!!! Justin and I couldn't stop laughing!!! Talk about an IMMEDIATE answer to prayer. So at 4:30am in the morning Estin ate a cheese crisp and ketchup and then slept until 9am the next day. What a night!!!

RSV

Sunday night Justin and I took Estin into the ER where he tested positive for RSV. I didn't realize he could get it at his age, but sure enough! He was pretty miserable. There's nothing good about watching your "baby" get poked with needles while you stand by helpless. Luckily, after 10 days of being quarantined... he's back to his old self again and is thrilled to have play dates with friends other than mommy! Last night for FHE we spent an hour or more sanitizing all of Estin's toys. Who knew that a little boy could have so much!!! It's crazy to think that before his arrival, 2 years ago, we had none of this stuff!

A House Full of Men...

I have to admit, I was SO CERTAIN I was having a girl that the news of another boy came as quite a shock. For a year now I've felt a strong impression that a little girl named Kate was to join our family, so needless to say, the results of our ultrasound was VERY unexpected. However, with that said, although it's left me questioning some... and I'm not sure what I am to learn from this experience as of yet... I am thrilled our little boy appears healthy! I LOVE that Estin will have a little buddy to grow up with and look forward to welcoming another little man into our family.

It's a....

Watch the ultrasound and see if your vote was right!

Baby Oswald is Growing!!!

We find out what we're having in 6.5 days (but who's counting!) We have to wait until 22 weeks because the baby was measuring a bit small and the Dr. wanted to make sure he could see something. With Estin we found out at 18 weeks... so an extra 4 weeks is killing me!!! Don't forget to place your vote in the baby boy vs. girl poll!!!! We'll let you know just as soon as we do!!! Wish us luck!!!
