Easter Morning Hospital Visit

Seems like we are always at the hospital. Tyler has been getting congested lately, more and more with each passing day. Last night he couldn't sleep because he could hardly breathe through his nose and newborns don't breathe through their mouths.

Of course I used the nasal aspirator but that didn't help because his congestion was deeper than that. So I called Children's Hospital this morning to see if I could give him nasal decongestant. They said I needed to take him into the E.R. because he could have RSV which is apparantly very serious.

Long story short, Tyler was an angel at the hospital, didn't cry once (he only cries at church apparently) and they just want us to use a humidifier and saline solution on him. He has a small virus they said, but it will work itself out. Phew.

Also, he is now 11.5 lbs!!! The nurses couldn't believe how much he's grown. They said there's no way he was born almost a month early! I told them all he does is eat so it makes sense he'd be so big. I think it's a blessing having him so big though because it makes his body stronger to be able to deal with viruses and sicknesses, etc.

Another update, I also have mastitis, I forgot to mention that. It's been 2 weeks and it's not better yet. So I'm having a lot of pain and I'm exhausted. I think I'm going to miss church today because I was up all night and I can barely keep my eyes open. The only reason I have time to blog is because I'm eating breakfast really quick before I go get in bed. Ok, breakfast is done. Goodnight.

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Escrow

Well we found the perfect house for us on Thursday! We put the offer on today and they accepted! We expect to close the third week of March! I knew it was the right one as soon as I walked in the door. The picture below shows half the house, you can't see the whole thing on Google Earth because of the trees. It's been updated really well, but it has a few things we can still do to get more value out of it when we sell it in a few years. It's totally cute on the inside, just under 2000 square feet and has a great yard and deck. It came with some nice perks too, so we're really excited. I'll have a nice big housewarming party so you can all see it in April once we're settled in! Yay! Ok so the sad part is, we won't be in the Dash Point Ward anymore. :( We'll be in the Federal Way ward so we're still in the stake at least. It's really sad because I totally love our ward, it's awesome and I love my calling with the Young Women but at least I w...
