Sleeping

This morning while getting the kids ready for school, and getting me ready to go to work the kids decided they would keep Pearson busy. I started on Creedance's hair while Toph sat on the floor playing with the baby, he decided that my bathroom was boring, and decided to take Pearson into T.J.'s room. A little while later he returned with the baby in the laundry basket. It was filled with pillows and they had put blankets over him.
Pearson loved this he laughed and laughed as they pushed him around the house. He even thought it was fairly funny that i kept yelling at them "to be careful", and "make sure that he doesn't fall out". Eventually the kids left for school and Pearson was still content to sit in the basket so i took him into the bathroom with me so i could do my hair. T.J. did not want to leave him in there and kept pushing him out. Eventually i just figured get my hair done quick and then go save the baby. Two seconds later T.J. walked in and said, "Pearson is tired mom." So i told him i would be there in two seconds to put him to sleep. When i walked out to get him i found him like this..... Guess he was so tired he just fell asleep in the basket!!! Silly Boy!!!!!!!

New Hair Cuts

So around our house it has been time for haircuts for awhile. I was getting sick of my overly thick long hair that was getting really gross on the ends. So last week i went in for a cut and color. I really like the way it turned out!!! I wanted before and after pictures but truthfully i don't really like to have my picture taken so that wasn't really a picture of me that i could find that would work as a before.

For the last couple of months I have been cutting Tyler and the boys hair but after mutiple months it is starting to need a professional to cut it so that we have their basic cuts again. I think they look so cute!!! I am a little sad that they cut so much of T.J.'s long hair off but the girl he got wasn't very good.( i do still think he looks cute,but i'm wondering how they GIve you a gaurantee on a hair cut when you think they cut it to short!!!)

I couldn't put pictures of everyone else and not put one of Pearson and Creedance. Plus Creedance was crying to have her picture takin too!!

Oh yeah Pearson started getting a rash yesterday, when i called the doctor he said to give him benadryl. Amazingly enough the benadryl started to get rid of the rash but Pearsons cough almost went completely away so we are thinking that he might just be allergic to Amoxicillian like Creedance. He has been feeling a ton better today!!!!

Pearson has RSV!!!

So last Monday(8th) I took Pearson in to the doctor, he had an ear infection and maybe a slight cold.
We start antibiotics, Pearson sleeps a little bit better for a couple of nights but i still think 6 times a night is to many!

Friday night once we have reached my parents cabin.(Yes we went to play!!!!!) Pearson starts coughing a lot harder and it doesn't sound good. I think well they told me had a cold he'll be just fine. So we stay up there and the kids go sledding and on Sunday we go to church in West Yellowstone. But every time my mom holds the baby she tells me i need to take him back in he sounds horrible.
I'm still thinking they told me it was just a cold and i hate being embarrassed at the doctors office but if she still thinks i should take him when we get back i will. Well we decided to leave a little early from the cabin Monday. Pearson screamed and was not a happy camper on the way home, I even stopped twice to feed him, change him and play with him and he still screamed and coughed and did not sound good.
So i decided to call the doctors office assuming that it would not be open since it was President's Day. So when they answered i was a little surprised. They only had one doctor in but when i told them he was sick they said they would squeeze me in, but it would be quite a wait!! So I decided if we are going to have to wait i didn't want to take all 4 kids with me.
Enter my very awesome mother-in-law who not only watched the other kids but came to my house to do so!
So I'm stressing myself out that I'm taking Pearson to the doctors and they are squeezing me in and that the doctor will look at him and say, "He has a cold!!". Well we wait an hour and a half and finally get into a room were Pearson begins his screaming coughing routine very, very loudly!!!!
After we wait another half an hour the doctor comes in(I'm not upset because i knew we were going to have to wait). He looks at him and says that is a real bad cough, so after looking him over he says that Pearson has RSV!!!!!
This freaks me out because you hear about all those babies that have died from this. Since Pearson is over 6 month(whew!) and seems like he is still breathing alright on his own, he shows me how to break the mucus up in his lungs, gives us albuterol to help his airways and says bring him back if he doesn't start to get better in a couple of days!!
The albuterol has been awesome he doesn't sound so bad when he sleeps, but I'm still a little stressed. I decided not to teach dance today and got substitutes for my classes(a first for me this dance year!!!!!) Now we just have to focus on getting him better, oh and hope my sister-in-law will not hate me forever for exposing her little boy to it! I'm soooooo sorry Kim!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and i thought i better throw this pic of topher with his snowman before i forgot he loved making this.

I am such a pathetic blogger!!! If i don't have a picture than i think i shouldn't post. Well my camera is at the dance studio and I can't find the plug that hooks it to the computer anyway so if i want to post a picture it will be an old one but i should write anyway!!!

We are having one of those days today. Pearson did not sleep last night he went between wimpering and bloody murder screaming all night. At some point during the night i decided that i was done and we were going to the doctor in the morning. He finally dozed off at about six so i jumped into bed and was think i could get a little sleep. Tyler wakes me up at 7:30 to tell me that Christopher doesn't feel good and is staying home. Today was only a half day so Creedance didn't even have school. I really wanted to redecide the whole doctor thing i didn't want to take four kids!!!! Alas, Pearson started screaming again and i decided to go.

All in all the doctor's office was quite quick Pearson has an ear infection in both ears! YUCK!!!! We also finished up the last of the infant's Tylenol last night so i needed to pick him some up on the way home. Normally we would be able to do this while picking up his prescription but if you take all four of my kids into walgreens together you can not leave whithout going insane for some reason they think walgreens is a place were they can throw things on the floor and run up and down the aisles.

So i opted for running into target!!! Found tylenol and ibprofen and was headed for the door when i noticed they had there storage bins on sale. Our basement has had falling apart boxes of toys in it for forever and i really wanted to organize so i grab four and hand them to Topher who really wanted to hold them. Well that lasted for ten seconds. so i am trying to hold the bins and push the kart and of course none of the check out lines are open so we head to customer service were my older kids(i made t.j. sit in the cart because he can't keep his shoes on that he picked today) began to play on the computers they have there. Proceed to check out but the bins are getting harder to carry. Oh i forgot to mention that i'm still in my pajamas and the kids are not dressed nice. A lady i know from the dance studio i know decides to take pitty on us and helps out to the car which i am grateful for but also verrrrrrrry embaressed!!!!!!

We did organize the basement and I found out topher wasn't really sick he just wanted to stay home because he thought his grandma was coming over to watch them and he wanted to play with her!! I have now put them all down for a nap and will attempt to take a bubble bath!!!!
