4 Month Check Up!!!!

Yesterday was Grayson's 4 month check up!

Let me give a little bit of back ground first.
When Grayson was a month old he got the sniffles (or so I thought). I rushed him the the doctors and they said it was a cold and gave a few suggestions to help him. Us being first time parents went bat sh*t crazy and did everything on the list.
1. Got him a cool mist humidifier
2. Bought baby saline for his nose
3. Got a wedge for him to sleep on in his crib.
He seemed to get a little bit better but was always worse at night.
Then we went in for is 2 month check up and he was breathing fine that day of course! Well 2 days later my babe was so stuffed up again he could hardly breath out of his nose. We tried everything even sitting in the shower steam with him and it would help but only temporarily. So we took him to the doctors again they said it was a cold and to keep doing what he was doing. Well 2 nights later I picked him up from day care and he was beyond sick. I could see it in his eyes and he was just not breathing good. So I got him into see the doctor that night and they said he was just battling the cold and he would be fine. Well I vowed that night that unless he had a fever or his symptoms got worse I was not bringing him back in just to hear the same. freaking. thing. every.time. Well about 2 weeks ago he started throwing up on a daily basis. I'm not talking about the little spit up after eating. We are talking full on cover the front of him the back of me throw up. And it was always happing about 2 to 3 hours after he ate. I was beyond in pain seeing him like this. But no fever and he was still my smiling happy baby so I held off until his 4 month check up.

So we finally got some answers or the start of. They think he has reflux so we are doing an upper GI study and will go from there 
Here are his current stats 


Holy chunky baby!!! And he got some shots so my baby was like this most if last night 



We got the go ahead to start cereal this month and veggies when he is 5 months. I mean my baby is growing up! But I so love being his momma!

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

Conferences, Grocery Pick up and trying to get out the door

I had grand plans to document our day on Friday. I was going for an every hour sort of thing and then after the 3rd hour lost track I will shoot for next Friday though we will see I'm off on Friday's ( all the happy faces for a 4 day work week and the $$$ saved on daycare ) It was our February break from school so Grayson is home too. I get up at 6:15 on Fridays which is sleeping for me because during the week I'm up at 5 and I head downstairs to do a workout. I'm in a funk right now with that stuff but I still move my body. Today I did a 10 min arm video and 10 min lower body video. I stretch for a few mins and I'm done just in time for Grayson to come wandering down the stairs. I chug some water. Check in with Michael and head upstairs to get Marshall and Charlotte from their beds. They both woke up dry (we are in the throws of potty training and are still in pull ups at night for now) They charge downstairs yelling that they have to pee and demanding...
