PS...Jordy's all better!

In case any of you were wondering or worried...:) Our lab Jordy's all better and not sick anymore! They fixed him up with Antibiotics and IV's and so far no more swelling of the belly with gas! I've just been praying it was a one time thing! (especially because it cost us a fortune! but he's worth it!) ps...the only reason he was allowed on the couch was for this picture taking! he won't pose otherwise and he's not allowed normally! :)

Carnival here we come!

Hello everyone...no excuses for not blogging...besides shopping for our trip and packing for a trip! For all of you who don't know we're leaving tommorow for VACATION! Going on a Carnival Cruise! Leaving from Ft. Lauderdale, FL and sailing to Key West, Caymen Islands, and Jamaica! Uhh I can't wait! I've done a similar cruise with my parents and brother and ventured to Key West for Spring Break in College and LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY ONE OF THESE PLACES! Can't wait! Ben and Hayden's 1st time cruisin' so it should be a blast! Can't wait to tan my pale GROWING belly! Seriously...the 2nd child you do get bigger faster...I'm finding this SO TRUE! Or maybe it's just that one year apart thing! :) Or the fact that I love to eat? Hmmmm...and the cruise won't be helping the fact that I LOVE to eat because on a cruise...that's ALL YOU DO it seems like! LOVE IT! Soooo I won't be posting for a week or so because we'll be gone...unless I can from the ship but it's .75 cents a minute on the ship! YIKES soo I'll probably blog when I get home! We'll take lots of pictures and have lots of fun for everyone back here! I'm posting the only "new" picture we have of little man...and don't mind the messy floor...he destroys the office whenever mommy's on the computer so that's normal looking...haha :) HAVE A GREAT WEEK! At least the weather is gorgeous here too! :) Hope it lasts!

Real Baby's ok Doggie Baby's not...

Well, My little Jordy boy is sick! :( We got up this morning and had planned on going to breakfast with Nana and Aunt Nina, Nicole, Mom and Dad...Whenever we leave we give the doggies treats...Jordy wouldn't eat his...this is when I REALLY was thinking I think something is wrong here...so I came back home and he didn't get up to greet us when we got home. Hmmm...so I go over to touch him and he cried when I did this. I called the vet and immediately wanted to get him in. So I took him right over. She weighed him and he was 89.9lbs! He's normally in the upper 70's to 80! She checked his legs for arthritis etc. and that wasn't it. She touched his belly and he cried like he did for me. So she wanted me to leave him for blood work and x-rays and to call them if I hadn't heard from them by 2pm. So, 1/2 later the vet calls me and asks if she can give him a pain medicine to take the edge off because they couldn't even get a x-ray! When they finally did she called back again...(each time the phone rang my heart sank!) This time she tells me the blood work was perfect but the x-rays on the other hand were not. He was so full of air/gas that they couldn't see ANYTHING! They started an IV and got fluids in him, gave him an enema, and some more pain meds and wanted to keep him overnight. In the morning they are going to do more x-rays to see if it is an Intestinal or GI problem but she is confident he's just gasey right now (and boy let me tell you HE IS! if we lit a match our house would blow up! haha) Poor baby! :( So, my being the stressed out mess I am/was over all of this called the vet to see if someone was going to be with him overnight. The nurse proceeded to tell me "well the Dr. will probably come in and check on him once but no, nobody is here overnight" WHAT? So I said "I'm totally not comfortable with this can you just pass that on to the Dr. and let her know I am willing to pick him up and watch him overnight and bring him back in the morning?" So she said "yeah yeah I'll let her know" (basically) So 5 minutes later the Dr. called back and said that she would feel 100% more confident and comfortable if he was at home as well because he was kinda nervous being there and stuff. So mama went and picked him up at 5 and he's safely and comfortably resting at home right now! I know I'll sleep better tonight knowing that he's here with me and not alone!!! So, tommorow at 7:30am we'll be back off to the vet for more x-rays to see what they heck my little turkey got into or has goin' on in that tummy of his! So please say your prayers that everything will be ok with him! He's only 3 1/2 and I don't know what I would do without my big baby! I'm confident they have caught whatever it is and he'll be ok for now! But my little pill swallower on the other hand is all better and up to no good like usual! :) hehe! He's gonna love this cone on Jordy's head tonight! haha! I'll update you more when we know more!

A day of Spring! LOVE IT!

Sittin' in his new lawn chair on the back porch and lovin' it!
He's a happy boy when it's nice outside! Just like
Mommy and Daddy!


Hope everyone had as nice of a Saturday as we did. Well, we got a lot done. My mom and dad picked Hayden up and took him out to lunch and to run errands with them while Ben and I cleaned out the garage and did some yardwork. Also, washed the windows outside and got our screens in! Man how much you can get done without a little turkey around. :) We felt very productive! Let's just pray this nice weather is here to stay for the most part!!!

Is it Spring yet?

Hated the gown! As you can tell!

Hi everyone...

sorry it's been FOREVER since I've blogged last! I've been feelin' pretty poopey lately...tired and nauseous! Went to Dr. Morgan again yesterday, our 2nd appointment! Heard the baby's heartbeat! MUSIC TO MY EARS! Love that! He said it was super strong and everything seemed to be going great! I'm 10 1/2 weeks along now...seem's like 40 is FOREVER away! haha! But I have another little turkey keepin' me PLENTY BUSY! Especially yesterday...let me explain! Hayden and I stopped over at Great Grandma Good's yesterday, my mom was there. We had been there about an hour and he was busy taking things out of the drawers and running around everywhere like usual. We close every door in the house and he only has the run of the living room/kitchen all of which we can see him the entire time in. He came walking into the living room from the kitchen with a "yucky face" on and was trying to get something off of his tongue. My mom reached in and pulled out 1/4 of a pill he found on the floor. INSTANT PANIC HIT! My mom starting seaching though the 50 bottles of pills to find out which one it was (it still had some color left for us to match) It wasn't matching ANY we could find. In the meantime my Grandma (who's 93) is panicing, I'm calling Dr. Barkow, Poison Control etc. (of course this happened over lunch hour at the doctors office! UHH) So poison control said they are sure everything will be ok but that we needed to get him to the emergency room right away. LOVELY, I have to call Ben and explain this to him, he hangs up and drives right over, as well as my dad and brother! We drove him to Goshen General, poison control notified them we were coming so we wouldn't have to wait when we got there...the whole drive over I was in a panic and so was Ben! My mom rode with us and kept Hayden awake by singing REALLY REALLY loud to him! (he must have thought she was nuts!) On the way to the hospital my mom called CVS and they helped her verify which pill it was. It was an Ambien sleeping pill (.5mg which is the lowest you can get!) Soo, the least harmful pill he could have found and taken! THANK THE GOOD LORD! Anyways, this is turning out to be a long story, sorry, everything is ok, they just checked him out and said he would be drowsy for about 4 hrs and to just keep waking him up when he falls asleep to check on him! So, just in time for our Dr. Morgan appt, my mom decided to ride with us and to be with Hayden to check on him constantly! That was so helpful! So, again everything is good now, the sleeping pill soooo didn't effect him! darn juuussst kiiiding...he's as busy as ever! Ben did install locks on EVERY drawer he can reach though so that is heavenly!!! He's not happy at all about it! Anyways, hope everyones week is off to a good start!
