Happy Birthday!!!

My sweet Cole turns 3 years old today! I can't believe it has been 3 years since that baby entered my life. There is really nothing like the moment you welcome your first born child into the world. Cole was born at 11:50 pm, just 10 minutes shy of being born on the 15th. I had an easy labor and delivery with him and from the moment they put him on my chest, I was forever in love. My best friend was born 3 years ago today and I am so blessed and thank God for you, Cole. Happy Birthday! I love you...

Big boy room

Well, we spent yesterday transforming Cole's nursery into his "big boy room" and he loves it! We had to paint it in order for it to look good with his bedding which has not come in yet. We used an old queen bed that we had stored and he is loving that he has a real bed and not a toddler bed anymore. It made me sad to take things down b/c it's just a reminder of how big he is getting. His room is too small to fit a big bed and his big chair so we moved the chair into the playroom, meaning that we had to move the desk out of the playroom. So..... yesterday we rearranged a few rooms! All is looking good now!
Chloe is doing great. She is totally used to her helmet and we actually feel as though we already see some improvement. She still has a way to go but it's great to see improvement so early on. We have a busy week ahead with Cole's birthday festivities to prepare for. More later!

Improvement!

Finally.... Cole is better! So, I decided to take Cole to the doc AGAIN on Wed after he had run the high fever the night before. I just figured that we might need to go in since he wasn't getting better, but actually getting worse. So glad we went! He was apparently not responding to the antibiotics. He had very infected ears, one of which had fluid behind the eardrum. He had to have a strong antibiotic shot and was put on a new oral antibiotic. Once we got home, he started feeling better. Yesterday and today he has been a new child! We will go back in 2 weeks for his 3 year checkup and to see how his ears are healing.
Chloe is doing really well with her helmet. She pretty much had it on all day today. It was an 8 hour wear-time today so she wore it until 4pm, off for an hour and then back on. Tonight is her first night to sleep in it so I hope it's not a horrible night! Please, please, please let her sleep well! Off to San Antonio tomorrow to the Alamo Bowl. Looking forward to some fun time with Mark and Ashley and sad that Mike Leach will no longer lead the Red Raiders. More later...
