Doctors, Doctors, and more Doctors

We have had quite a past 24 hours to say the least. Sunday afternoon, Casey woke up from his nap screaming and crying. We thought he might be constipated so we took such measure to no avail. He just wanted to be held and would lie on us and sleep off and on waking up every 15 minutes or so to cry and moan. It was horrible. He just had an out of it look. We ended up taking him to an urgent care Sunday night. He didn't have fever, no ear infection, throat looked great, no gastroenteritis, so he ended up with an enema for possible constipation. That worked but was not a fix. He did go to sleep when we got home though.

I woke up 1:30 with cramping and contractions. Not my idea of fun! Casey soon woke up around 2:15 or so crying. He felt hot so we gave him Motrin and Chad layed with him under a fan until he fell asleep. All the while, I was still having contractions coming every 4-8 minutes. So needless to say, we called Ashley at 3:00am (on her first morning of school, bless her heart) to come over and stay with the boys and we headed to labor and delivery. There I received 2 shots over the next 2 hours to stop the contractions. After 4 hours, I finally got to go home with a perscription of the medication to stop contractions if needed again.

Casey on the other hand, was not doing too well when we got home. We got him into his regular dr and found out he has the flu!! Who gets the flu in the heat of the summer????? In case you didn't know, it's apparently going around! CRAZY!!!!!!!! That's my life. We can't wait for bedtime around here :)

Haircut day!!!

Sunday, we took Casey to get his very first haircut ever! It was a tough decision for Momma but I knew it was time.

and he's not too sure about it.

All done and very handsome.

Afterwards, we went to a swim party with church.

Just an added bonus of messy Casey eating a cupcake!

Summer Fun Continues

Apparently we've been having so much summer fun that I haven't had time to update (good excuse, right:)

Well, at the beginning of July we had half of our garage closed in and we turned it into the coolest playroom for the boys. They love it and so do we. It keeps "most" of the toys out of our living room. We let Bryant pick the color (blue) and he put Cars stickers on the walls.

The boys enjoying cartoon time in their new playroom (before couch).

Casey thinks this tractor is a ride on toy.

We made a "last trip before baby" to Breckenridge during July and the boys had to swim, of course. I've got quite the water bugs....or rather splash bugs :)

At the end of July, my friends Kippi, Terri, and I got our families together for a "celebrate our 30th bdays" together. It was a good time. We ate, talked, made homemade ice cream, while the kids played and swam.

We've also been on many playdates with our playgroup we joined in May. We've had some great times. We try to go to 2 or so playdates a week. It's lots of fun for the boys and Momma, too :)

Casey has finally decided to give his neat little rocking horse a try.

And he loves it!!!

The Tooth Dr (AKA Dentist)

I took the boys to the dentist this past Wednesday and they did great (for the most part). It was Bryant's second trip to the dentist and Casey's very 1st. They brushed Casey's eight little toothies and rubbed around in his mouth and counted his teeth. He did great, and they said everything looked super :) Yea! Bryant had a little trouble at first because another girl in there was crying and it made him more scared. After she quit, he did great and sat in the chair, had his teeth cleaned, poked, and flossed. He even did the xrays! They said everything looked good except one of his front teeth has a vanishing root. Which means that he probably had trauma to it at some point and it will fall out a little sooner than "normal". I thought Wow wait till Casey gets xrays. They'll be telling us all his teeth have had some trauma and have a dissolving root. That boy falls all the time!

Overall, my boys did a super job and I couldn't have been more proud. They even brought home a toothcase filled with teeth cleaning goodies :)

Dr. Appointments

Last week we had a couple of fun ole dr. appointments. I had my 28 week appt on Thursday. Everything went well. Baby is measuring a little over a week ahead (as did the other boys). He already weighs 2lbs 14oz and is 15.2in long. That seems pretty big to still have about 11 weeks or so still to grow. Maybe he'll come early like his brothers. We got a cute little profile picture of him and some cute foot and hand pics. I also had my glucose test and passed with flying colors. Then I got the yucky Rhogam shot!! I hate that thing!!! But all in all it was a good appt and I'm happy things are looking great. I must say that this has actually been my best pregnancy (feeling wise) for me even during this hot summer.

Casey then had his 15 month appt on Friday. He had to get a yucky shot too, but he did great. Bryant stood in the hall (he doesn't want to see them hurt his little brother) and Casey only cried for a minute and was done by the time we got out there with Bryant. Big brother was even proud of him. The dr said he was doing great and looked great too. He's right on track with his awesome skills :) He now weighs a big 23lbs (25-50%) and is 30 1/4 in (25-50%).

Both the boys are getting big and are as silly as can be. They love to play together but aggravate one another just as much. They definitely like to keep me on my toes. Gotta love those boys of mine...but what, oh what will we do when we have 3!!!!!!

4th of July fun

We had a GREAT 4th of July! Ashley came over and brought a Slip N Slide. The kids had tons of fun playing outside and enjoying "summertime fun"! We even got snow cones and had sparkler fun. We topped off the day by watching two firework shows from our driveway. What a way to celebrate our independence!

And he walks

That's right....Casey walked today. But did Momma get to see the first steps? NO!!! Can you believe that Casey would take those first precious steps while his Momma was out of the house? At least Daddy got to see them. He called me and even sent me a video. Casey was even happy to show his new skill off to me when I got home. He's such a big boy.

Here is the video I promised!
