The twins had a blast planting flowers with Jerame this weekend. Carter still hasn't gotten through his dirt eating thing. You can't get this guy to even take a bite of ice cream but he will shovel dirt into his mouth no big deal. So he tasted a fair share of the potting soil. Their favorite part about planting was watering afterward. Both kids were soaked. Yesterday was such a gorgeous day. But today we are back to the rain, it gets so old. We had an open house at our house yesterday so we got coffee and drove around while the kids napped in the car and looked at houses. Of course we ended up in an area that is WAY above our price range and fell in love with the area, figures right? It was fun to dream at least. We found a cute little hidden park towards the end of our drive and let the kids out to run and throw rocks in the water. It was a relaxing way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon.
Although The rest of our weekend wasn't quite as relaxing. Chloe came down with one of her asthma attacks on Friday and we spent the most part of the morning at the Dr. By bedtime we noticed she was really laboring to breath again so Jerame took her to urgent care at 9:30 pm. The Dr. there was very concerned about how hard she was working to breath and was tempted to call an ambulance to have her transported to Childrens but after a breathing treatment they were able to get her O2 levels up into the safe zone. Jer then drove her down to Childrens and they were there until about 2am. The drugs they give her during these episodes make her very agitated and just about everything sets her off. They speed her system up and she gets extremely exhausted but has a really hard time relaxing. Not a good combo for a two year old. She was running a fever and that combined with breathing issues can be dangerous. Needless to say it's all very scary. The hardest part for Jerame and I through all this is that it's hard for us to determine when her breathing is getting dangerous. I felt like a terrible parent when I realized that she was so very sick when everything went down on Friday night. I felt like we should have helped her and had her seen earlier than we did. The problem is that she could be ok but things can get very bad very fast. The good news is our girl is doing better today and only ended up back at the Ped one additional time this weekend. She is still very agitated today and exhausted. Just the littlest thing is the end of the world. Lots and lots of patience with this sweet little girl today.
I am 16 weeks today and this pregnancy is going fast. My tummy is starting to poke out just a little bit.
