Update on us...

Not much has been gong on with us since the last post. Jeremy has been working every day since we got back from Louisiana.

Hunter has had a constant ear infection since before we went to Louisiana. He had to be on two different antibiotics until the doctor finally tried a series of three shots, three days in a row. The needle was huge and I wanted to cry for him. He had to get them last Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Hopefully it is better now. We go back to the doctor next Monday to have them checked again. If he still has the ear infection then, we have to look at getting tubes in his ears. I hope we don't have to get that done!

I came home from work on Thursday and felt horrible. I was up all night sick and then Jeremy woke up the next morning sick too. Poor thing had to still go to work though! Hunter went to daycare because I was so sick. By the time he got home from daycare, he was sick too. We all got over it though and are all feeling a hundred times better.

Meanwhile, Jeremy's dad decided he is moving back to Louisiana. We hope they are happy there. I know Jeremy is sad because now he won't have anyone here, but now he sees how I have felt for the last 3 1/2 years. This is our home now though and we really like it here. We have made some really good friends and don't plan on going anywhere.

Well, that's about all that's been going on with us. We can't wait for Christmas! Hunter has so many presents! He has definitely gotten spoiled for Christmas, but he is our first baby and we get to do that sometimes.

Christmas Tree and Santa

We went to Stewart's on Saturday and got Santa pictures taken. Joelle and Dallin cmae with us too and he got his pictures taken too. I was surprised Hunter did so good. He didn't want to go to Santa though. I gave him to Mrs. Claus and then he just wanted to play with Santa's beard.

I put up our Christmas tree yesterday. Jeremy had to work so I was on my own. I am paying for it today though. My ribs and my back are hurting like crazy! Anyway, it turned out so good! Hunter is doing pretty good with it too. I only have had to fuss at him a couple times when he goes to grab an ornament or a candy cane. I can't wait for Christmas day to watch him open his presents. It will be so much fun!

Wow! It's been a while!

Wow! It has been a CRAZY month! I haven't had time to do much at all! Well, we thought we would be by ourselves for Thanksgiving, but it turned out that we had to make an emergency trip to Louisiana. Jeremy's cousin, Carmen, went into a coma as a result of her diabetes. She had no brain activity for around 8 hours so there was really no hope. So, we left for Louisiana on Saturday, the 21st and drove 28 hours straight! That was the longest trip ever! Hunter did great though. He watched Mickey Mouse the whole time. We left home at 1:00 pm on Saturday and got to Louisiana at 5:00pm Sunday.

We went straight to the hospital to see Carmen. Things still didn't look good. Monday, we woke up, surprised Ashlyne' at work and went back to the hospital. We went to eat lunch with Mrs. Tina and Jeremy got a call from his Nanny that Carmen had opened her eyes! Mrs. Tina was sure that there was no way because of what the doctors had told everyone. We got back to the hospital and sure enough, she had opened her eyes. Things are slowly improving and I guess it is only up from here. Miracles happen everyday I guess.

We spent the week down in Louisiana and it was crazy to try and visit everyone in such a short time. We did get to see almost everyone though and I was happy that everyone got to meet Hunter finally!

We decided to head home on Friday, the 27th and we wanted to take it slow. We stopped early and left late everyday. We got home around 4:00 Sunday and were completely exhausted! We are going to try to get some rest this weekend finally, but poor Jeremy has to work.

Well, I am so excited to finally get to put up our Christmas decorations! I have to go tomorrow to get our Christmas tree. Maybe once Hunter gets older we will get a real tree, but for now I will stick to our fake tree. Well, I guess I will get to bed. Enjoy our pictures from Louisiana...

Oh, one last update. My sister, Erica, had her baby on Wednesday, December 2nd. His name is Nicholas Bryant and he was 7lbs. 7oz. and 19 1/2 in. long. Of course she had to wait less than a week after I left to have the baby. I have posted a picture below....
