Our first trip to the emergency room :(

** this picture is for Gran's computer**

So, as everybody knows by now, I am a nurse at a local emergency room and I see all sorts of mothers and children and I am sorry to say that most of the time I judge the moms for being too protective of their children when they are sick. I even had an experience where a mom cried when I was taking her baby's temp... well, I have officially been on the other end of the spectrum. On Saturday night around 11pm Carson started crying in bed and I sent Steve in for a "binky run" and poor Carson had thrown up all over his crib. After 4 hours of vomiting I made the executive decision to take him to the ER (where I happen to work). When we walked through the door at the ER (@ 3am) Carson was back to his happy self playing patty-cake with the other nurses and flashing smiles to everyone. I looked like the paranoid mother who freaks out when her child has any ache or pain :) Thankfully, Carson feels better, after a few bouts of diarrhea and not eating too well- he's almost back to normal!!




I have been sooo terribly busy and stressed lately that I actually sent out Carson's b-day invites with the wrong date on them... OOPS! So, Carson's b-day party is Saturday, April 5th (not the 6th). The funny thing about is that I created the invites TWICE because the first batch Carson had red eye and looked like a little devil. Well, that is how our week has been, hope everyone is doing well!!

Carson's big birthday coming up!!


I can't believe my baby is turning one year old soon!! We ordered invitations and arranged for a party at the indoor aquatic park... Carson LOVES to swim! I am excited for Carson to be able to play with all of our friends' children!


Carson hasn't started at the babysitters yet, he starts on Tuesday. It is definately going to be hard the first few times dropping him off at someone's house that isn't family. I talked to my work about dropping my hours and they said I might be able to go down to 30 hours per week (any little bit helps I guess).


Keep in touch and watch for invitations to Carson's party!!
