Who's sick now?

The answer to the question will follow shortly. First, Thursday was our Fourth Anniversary!

Sick #1 and # 2 are Cade and Carson. Well, the twins were both getting over their recent colds and starting to rub their ears, so we knew what that meant. Double ear infections for Carson and one for Cade - the Doctor told us Thursday. We did not count on the wheezing/raspiness to be such a big deal, but the boys have bronchiolitis. Now we also have to do nebulizer breathing treatments every 3 hours (which takes 20 minutes per baby). Poor little ones! They don't act like anything is bothering them, though. Here's Carson watching Cade get a treatment this weekend! Then, Cade tries to tell Carson how to do it in the next picture!

They haven't been in those baby bouncer seats in a long time - since they figured out how to get out of them and land on their heads! But they didn't seem to mind them too bad - I think they knew Mommy was a little overwhelmed, and they were trying to be good patients! Thankfully, they still found time to play around their scheduled treatments, medications, feedings (boy, do they eat), and naps!

The guys all enjoy napping together on Sunday afternoons!

Last night, the boys enjoyed the Christmas Play at Church! Here they are with Daddy and his cousin Hunter!

Sick #3 is Mommy. Thankfully, for your sake, there's no picture of this. I've been pumping breastmilk for the boys since we left the hospital to measure and make sure they were getting enough at the beginning since they were so premature. Anyway, they have continued on breastmilk the whole time with added formula supplementation for about two months when they were in a big growth spurt. I've been pumping about 50 ounces a day, so we have a good bit frozen that we want to use up before they switch to whole milk at 1 year old. I decided this weekend was a good time to cut out one pumping session. Then I was going to wean down over the next few weeks. Well, let's just say my body freaked out last night. I had a 103.5 temp after putting the babies to bed last night and a pounding headache along with what we'll call some huge red rocks under my shirt. Let me just say you don't want to get Mastitis. I am feeling better after several doses of antibiotics, advil, and sickness, but the huge red rocks are still there. It hurts so badly to hold the boys right now.

Sick #4 is Daddy. Last, but not least because this one was scheduled. Kevin is gone right now to have his wisdom teeth out, so we will all be babying each other tonight! Thankfully, Kevin's sweet parents are coming over after I take the boys to the Doctor for their follow-up appointment regarding the bronchiolitis this afternoon! We're all praying they won't have to do those treatments anymore.

Here's a video of the boys playing one of their favorite games - Ring Roll! They throw the stacking rings - watch them roll with a look of: "How did I do that?" - crawl after it - and do it all over again! They're such little engineers!
