ER.....Again
We had another trip to the ER with Gavin. This time it was by ambulance, and he had to be admitted. He got the croup, again. He is a brave baby, but is sick of doctors. I don't think he ever fully recovered from the last time he had croup. His new pediatrician wants him to go see an Ear, Nose, and, Throat doctor to see if there is something doing on in his little body.
Mom, why are you taking pictures of me when I am miserable? I had nothing else to do and we had been sitting there for awhile.
What...we aren't going home? I am not too sure about this place.
Alright, if I have to stay here I might as well make the best of it.
Okay, I have been here long enough. I want to go home now. If I cry, will they let me?

Happy 4th of July
Travis and Gavin- Travis loves giving Gavin kisses. I am sure they will be best buds and partners in crime when Gavin get older.
My sister and her little boy came to visit this summer, while her husband trained to be a Mountie. James wasn't too sure about Gavin being held by HIS mom.
Hazel the big helper....and cute helper, too.
By the end of their trip, James was okay with Gavin....he even held him.

Thankful for the ER
With Thanksgiving around the corner, I have been pondering everything I am grateful for. I have been pondering it especially more this weekend with Gavin needing to go the Emergency Room. I am so thankful for the doctor's and nurses at Cardon's Children's Hospital for taking care of Gavin's medical needs. I was able to walk right in and get the medical attention that Gavin needed.
Friday afternoon, We went to the doctor so Gavin could get the last part of the flu/whooping cough shot. After, I went to work while Gavin and Paul had "Guy time". I came home from work, and Gavin was still up. He was having fun with Paul, my brother-in-law, and nephew. We put him to bed and he was perfectly fine. He did not have a fever, and he did not look sick either. At 12:45am He woke up screaming. I went to get him and he was very warm. We gave him some Tylenol and a bottle and put him back to bed just fine. I thought it was just his leg hurting, and didn't think it could be anything else....at the time. He woke up and hour and half later and was literally hurling and choking....I ran and picked him up. He was still very warm, even with having Tylenol a hour-ish prior to that. While I was holding him it sounded like he was struggling to breathe. I went and woke-up Paul and told him to listen to him and hold him, while I went to call his pediatrician. While talking to his pediatrician, he was having a very difficult time breathing. He hurled and was choking, again. I told his pediatrician I was taking him to the ER, and quickly hung up with her. I went into panic mode, while Paul was trying to calm me and Gavin down. We quickly got everything ready and headed to the ER. I was praying the whole way there, that they wouldn't be busy. I was so grateful when I walked in and the waiting room was empty. We walked right in! When we left our apartment he has a temperature of 102. When they checked him at the hospital it was at 103....almost 104. They gave him Motrin to help bring his fever down. They also gave him some steroids. We had to stay there for awhile, so they could see if the steroids were helping him. After about three hours at the ER, we were on our way home. I am so glad we went in when we did. There were a lot of kids there, at were worse off then Gavin. Now it is time for him to recuperate. Now it is time for lots of Tylenol, Motrin, and lots of cold air.
We had a rough day yesterday. He was really fussy, but still trying to be happy. I thought he was good considering. It was very hard for him to take naps yesterday, because he just couldn't get comfortable. I thought it was going to be a long sleepless night for him, but he slept 8 hours. I am so grateful he was able to. He was so overly tired, and need the sleep.
Today, he seems to be doing better. He is smiling and laughing a lot more, but you can still tell that he doesn't feel 100%.

Family Reunion
Last week we went to my family reunion up at our cabin. We celebrated my Grandma's 80th birthday. The weather was perfect and we didn't want to come home. Gavin actually got to enjoy the outdoors and loved it. Here are some pictures.

Sickie
Gavin has been sick with his first ear infection and congestion....no fun. My sister and her little boy have been visiting from Canada, the last few weeks. Well yesterday they headed back home to Canada. I went to say good-bye to them, and while doing so I had a very cute conversation with my 2 year old nephew.
James: (Asking his mom in a sad voice) Paul...Gavin?
Valerie: You want to see Paul and Gavin?
James: Yes
Valerie: Gavin is at home sick.
James: (Asking me) Gavin....sick?
Me: Gavin has owies in his ear. He is home with Uncle Paul.
James: (walking away with a sad voice) Poor Gavin....sad.
He later came back and had this conversation.
James: Doctor?
Me: Yes, Gavin went to the doctor and they gave him medicine to feel better.
James: Awww
He then walked over to my mom and told her
James: Gavin sick....doctor....medicine.
Mom: Oh Gavin is sick? He went to the doctor and got medicine
James: Yeah
What a sweet boy. He loves his baby Gavin, except when his mommy is holding baby Gavin. I miss him already.

3 months
I can't believe it has already been 3 months, since our little angel joined our family. Isn't he the cutest 3 month old? Paul and I think he is. He is such a happy, mellow baby. At his last appointment (3 weeks ago) Gavin weighed 12 IBS. 4 OZ. and he was 24 inches long. His pediatrician said he was in the 75th percentile for his height and weight. He also had 4 shots and he took them like a champ. He cried for a few minutes, and then he was back to his happy self. When it was time for bed he was a little fussy, but wouldn't you be if you had 4 shots in one day. His next appointment is next week, so we'll see how much he has grown.
Here are some Gavin facts:
-He eats, sleeps, and poop
-He is starting to be afraid of noises. He does not like the sound of my blowdryer
and has made it known to me.
-He talks a lot more
-He likes to be facing the action.
-He loves his bouncer...still
-He loves bath time...still
-He loves looking at books.
-He loves car rides
-He is a happy baby that loves to kick.
-He lets our primary class maul him.
-He still sleeps pretty well....about 6 hours a night. I think his sleeping schedule
might be changing soon. He has been sleeping longer at night, the last few nights.
This mommy his hoping it changes.
-He loves being outside....when it isn't 500 degrees
Happy 3 months, Gavin!
