Back to the Routine of Life...
Well after Michael being off for three weeks he is back to work. His first day back was yesterday. It got kind of lonely but the kids and I made it through just fine. It was weird not having him there. It's surprising how fast you get used to something to then have it change once again. I guess that's life though. Haylie is now recovered from her Pneumonia and she is feeling completely better. She is her usual spitfire self. Ethan is still pretty fussy when he is sleepy. But I am getting the hang of reading his ques. I can tell when he is getting tired so I can quickly put him to sleep before he starts to cry, but with life and motherhood, there are those bad days here and there. Everything is going well with me, but I am getting a little frustrated! I am not losing any weight after having Ethan. My midwife told me my metabolism took a huge hit by having two babies so close. But the other really odd thing is that my milk production went way down. Now that might be due to the fact that Ethan is sleeping 6 to 8 hours through the night, but I did have blood work done to check my thyroid. I just had that done yesterday so I should hear the result within a couple of days. Hopefully everything will be fine. It's probably just my metabolism. I'm going to keep eating well, exercising and hopefully this weight will start to come off soon! Anyways, Life is good other than that! I will get some more photos up soon!

Pneumonia
Haylie has Pneumonia! We found out on Friday night after she had gone through a bunch of tests. She had come down with a low grade fever at first and I thought it was from her teething because she is popping 2 molars at the same time, but after her fever went up to almost 104 degrees we went to see the Pediatrician. It was awful! I had to hold her down while they tried to catheterize her and they had to take her blood so I had to hold her down for that too. She screamed and cried and my heart broke into a million tiny pieces! Finally they did a chest x-ray and they saw the pneumonia in her lungs. So she is on antibiotics for 10 days. She is already feeling much better and her fever finally broke this morning. We are so thankful that God is watching over her.

LIFE IS CRAZY!!!
Wow...it is July and I haven't posted anything since APRIL!!! So much has happened since then! Ethan is growing so big and Haylie is such a toddler! She is saying so many words now and Ethan is engaging in the human race! :) Ethan is smiling and laughing and cooing, Haylie is running and playing and getting plenty of attention from everyone! Michael and I recently had our 2 year wedding anniversary! Wow...2 years, 2 kids...One for each year! Life truly is crazy but we are making it. Having 2 kids is hard at times, and very busy, but it is fun and I love it. I wouldn't trade it for the world! Sometimes you can spend so much time looking at the past and looking at other peoples lives and become so envious. Then when you really sit down and reflect and pray you realize you have it all! God really does bless our lives. He protects us and takes care of us. We are His children.
