B is for Bronchitis.

I know I haven't been posting as much lately but sick babies and tax season makes for one tired mama! Things have been crazy with a capital "C" I was hoping we'd be on the up and up after both boys got on an antibiotic the week before last. Both had their last dose last Thursday afternoon. I'm not kidding when I say Tuff had a runny nose the VERY next day. I almost just want to "throw my hands up" or "throw in the towel." I know I can't really do that. I hate to see my babies sick though and it gets frustrating. It seems like the past month or 2 we've stayed sick... This morning Gunner started routing around about 4:00 am. About 4:15 he was really routing so I got up to make him a bottle. When I got him up he immediately started gasping for breath. This really loud-scary-noisy gasping. This lasted for about 5 minutes or so before I finally got him calmed down a little. But his breathing still didn't sound good. I called my mom, MIL and SIL. All 3 confirmed an ER visit was necessary. So after my dad came over (remind you it was 4:30 am and Tuff was sleeping soundly in his bed) to sit with big brother, off we went to the ER. They gave him a breathing treatment and took chest x-rays. The x-rays confirmed Bronchitis. REALLY? That makes the Croup, a sinus infections and Bronchitis all in one month and that's just for Gunner. Since his white blood count was up (which means infection) they also called him in another antibiotic. So round 415,643(or so it seems)... here we go!!!

Gunner Bear was a big HIT in the ER. All the nurses and doctors really seemed to enjoy him. He's such a happy boy, sick or not sick. I told them it was a good thing it was him and not his big brother because we would have had to strap him down to get anything done. They're seriously like DAY and NIGHT. Gunner's new pajamas that his Ba-ba (my MIL) got him were also a big hit. See for yourself.

I mean really? What's not to love?

:)

Baby boy is happy and full of smiles all the time. That's definitely one of my favorite traits about him.

As for big boy, he hasn't been feeling his best either. Poor thing. I went to his V-Day party at school on Tuesday. He was really excited to see me when I got there. Daddy and I even got this super sweet Valentine.

Definitely the best Valentine either one of us have ever received.

 :)

I also got a quick picture of him and his classmates with their goodie bags full of valentine's.

Other than being sick and celebrating LOVE day, we've still been using the potty here and there.

Sorry it's so blurry.Took this with my phone.

This is last night.

He insisted on taking all his clothes except for his rain boots off to go potty.

I told him mommy doesn't care what he does as long as he uses the potty!

:)

Hope you're all having a good week.

SOOO close to the weekend. I think I can smell it.

Happy Thursday!
