once again...

Our baby's sick :(

Luckily it's not the Stomach flu like last month, but there was some vomiting involved. WARNING: TMI about to be shared!

Last weekend Brody wouldn't eat much. We didn't think anything of it because he didn't have any symptoms of being sick- no fever, he was running and playing... etc. Monday morning (around 5:00) he came into our room (like usual) and he asked for his bottle (usual). He was laying in between us drinking while we tried to get a little more sleep. He then coughed (I was thinking he just got a little too much milk) and all of a sudden... he threw up and it went straight on my face, into my mouth. I got up- spitting- and wiped him off. (Funny how you don't mind getting puke on you when it's your own kid.) While I was cleaning him up with a towel, he looked at me and said "mommy, oh no, nose" I replied with "yeah, mommy's nose, it's ok" thinking I had a little white stuff at the tip of it. Little did I know, I was COVERED! I took him into the bathroom so we could get into the bath and I looked in the mirror to see throw up across my nose underneath my right eye. It covered about 1/4 of my face! I started laughing sooo hard! We got in the bath, cleaned off, and went back into our stripped down bed. Just then, Brody coughed again and out it came! Luckily, we had a towel underneath him! For the remainder of the day he was fine. He threw up 2 more times on Tuesday, and was fine Wednesday and most of Thursday when he threw up before bed. I took him into the Dr today and found out he has an ear infection. Poor baby! This explains why he was throwing up and not eating. Needless to say... without any food for the past week, he is weighing in at 24.5 pounds and is 33 inches tall! (I measured him as we were walking out!)

At his appointment this afternoon, he also had his hips x-rayed. He had his left foot x-rayed in October due to some complaining that it hurt. He has continued to say "owie" and pull at his foot since then. His Dr told me to let him know if Brody complained any more, so 3 months later (it hasn't been too much complaining!) I told his Dr about it and he wanted to just make sure that there weren't any hip problems going on. He checked his legs and looked at the arches in his feet... and everything looks great! The x-ray came back perfect! Bobby gave him a blessing last night, and I am so thankful for that! I'm glad he's doing so well and is an active little boy! We just love him!!

On the other hand, I picked Bobby up from work to help hold Brody while he got the x-ray done since I can't be in there because I'm pregnant. I heard him screaming in the room, and the lady came out saying " I'm going to find a nurse to help us out... he's out of control!" They had bobby and another lady holding him down for one x-ray. He DID NOT like it! Poor baby! He was up and running about 5 minutes after the x-ray!! We started his medication today, so hopefully he will start feeling normal again soon!
