From Katelyn as she came in from playing in the snow: Mommy, I'm colder than I think I am.

Kym: I dunno, I kind of like the part where it says the baby to come is due in over 4 years! *hehe*

This evening Conner brought a pillow, a blanket and some stuffed animals downstairs. They were all "packed" in a box and he announced that he was going camping. I asked where he was camping and he told me that he was camping in the middle of the living room.

LOL.

He likes camping.

From Katelyn, talking about her Sparks Verses:

"Mommy... I'm not going to remember them. I'm just going to keep them in my head."

You just have to smile at her logic....

Yay! I'm back in!

Conner adores Cars right now and this theme had a fall feel to it so I decided to switch. Hopefully I'll get some photos up soon too.

From Conner today... said with brows furrowed.

"Caleb, he drinking my germs! Caleb drinking my germs!"

I just had to laugh at his word choice.

Merry Christmas, Everybody!

We're enjoying our day here. It's been a rather peaceful morning which is good because Eric is exhausted. The kids opened their presents and Eric and I each got one this morning. Every body is very happy with what they got. The kids have been enjoying them all morning.

Favorites seem to be the shovels because the older kids spent nearly an hour out shoveling anything they could find that needed shoveling. We have the cleanest driveway on the culdisac! I'm enjoying it while I can because the time will come that they think shoveling is a chore instead of a game.

Caleb is playing with his new trucks and a little football that he picked out earlier this week. He also got a pair of little snow boots and when he opened them I said, "Wow" so he spent the next few minutes walking around saying, "Ow... Ow... Ow..." Eric and I had a good giggle.

Katelyn was given some "makeup" which has us cracking up. She put it on this morning and I took lots of future blackmail pictures. Her face is currently nearly completely covered in pink and purple. And stickers... the box came with a sheet of "body stickers" which I think were meant to be sticker earrings but they're currently *all* on her face. She had a bunch of fun though and as I reminded Eric, it's limited quantity so she won't look like this every day. :D It sure is cute for now though! We're going to see if it lasts past her nap this afternoon and are considering letting her wear it to the Open House at my parents house.

Conner is just learning to recognize his name and knows it starts with a C but didn't realize that Caleb's name also does. So he accidently opened two of Caleb's gifts. He liked them but understood that they're Caleb's (after a little explaining...).

We had some gluten free pancakes for breakfast and haven't decided on lunch. Today is all about relaxing and so far we're succeeding!

Katelyn told me this morning that because it's getting close to Christmas, we needed to have a new design on the page.

Now she wants me to type about "Me, Conner and Caleb". Which means that she wants to see all 3 names as I type. Katelyn. Conner. Caleb. Now she's happy. :D

Caleb passed his follow up appointment yesterday ("type about Conner too..."). He's eating regular meals again, has almost normal stools. And most importantly, he's acting perfectly normal again.

This year for Christmas, my 3 kids are buying gifts for three of their cousins with a one dollar price limit. Eric took them to Michael's last night as my shift was ending and they wandered around the store looking for something to buy. It was cute to see what the picked out. Conner's was based on his interests. Katelyn thinks Josh will have fun with hers (I was kind of surprised at what she picked out... it's a bit odd) and Caleb's was probably the only one that was truly age and person appropriate. He thought he was picking out for himself though. He didn't like when he had to give his gift up to the cashier.

Since his fever, Conner seems more confident in his talking and interaction. I noticed it right after he was sick when he kept talking over Katelyn in the van. Usually he lets her do the talking while we're there. But now he gets upset and tells her that it's his turn to talk. But what was interesting was hearing him on the phone while I was in the hospital with Caleb. He sounded so much like Katelyn with his sentence structure and word choices.

So... enjoy the new Christmas theme!

Caleb ate a pretty good lunch yesterday... some yogurt and a "granola" bar. He wouldn't eat for me though. He just wants to nurse. I'm going to claim that it's because he only eats if I'm not around. He's nursing right now.

I'm scheduled to work today which means I need to stop nursing him in about 15 minutes. So he has that long to get as much nursing nutrition into him as he can. And then it's solids and bottles/sippies for the next 6 or so hours.

Caleb even slept through the night last night! That gave me some much needed solid sleep. I was awake or restlessly sleeping the entire night while we were in the hospital. Add in the 2 or 3 am blood draw and you can imagine that it just wasn't very restful for me. It made work yesterday very difficult because I was simply exhausted. I think today will go so much better for me. I'm still tired but it's tired, not exhausted.

With the extra nursing that I'm doing, I need to drink more water then I am right now. I'm just not remembering to drink extra. My skin is so dry as a result. Just incredible.

Ok... off to focus on Caleb for a bit before I have to leave for work.

Quick summary: Caleb and Conner both were sick on Tuesday. Conner had been sick on Sunday too.

By Wednesday morning, Conner was completely over the bug but Caleb had gotten extremely dehydrated overnight. I called the ped, the ped didn't have any appointments until later in the afternoon so I was told to take Caleb to the ER. We were admitted overnight to help rebalance his electrolytes and to rehydrate him with an IV.

We were discharged around 7:00 Thursday evening. Caleb still had a fever and was obviously still sick but there was nothing that the hospital would have done that I couldn't do at home at that point.

Ok... you're now up to date.

Caleb's been refusing anything by mouth except for nursing which you can imagine has made the last couple of nights rather sleepless for me. This morning however, he woke up with his fever gone and he drank a couple of ounces of water from a bottle. His stool this morning was still very loose but that'll likely take some time to work out of his system.

That's all good news since I'm working this morning! It would have been rough otherwise. I'm hoping that the kids let Caleb sleep for most of the morning and then I'll be home mid afternoon to nurse him again.
