Keziah is 3 months old now! Where has the time gone? She has slept through the night 2 times so far, and not in a row. She is starting to be very interested in her play mats and has enough core muscle to go in her exersaucer now! We are finally past the thrush. I changed her dr, and her new dr was willing to give us the medicine that the internet said was most likely to work. I had to stop nursing for 2 weeks while she was on it so she wouldn't get it back off of me. Luckly, she went right back to nursing when we were done and has had no problems and the thrush has stayed away! She is now 13 lbs and is gaining weight a bit slower then she did before, but thats fine, she is chunky enough as is. She is generally a very happy baby, with the occasional rough night if I accidently eat anything with onion in it. That gives her a BAD tummy ache! Anyway...that's the update on her. Here are some long overdue pictures. Here is Titus when everyone was sick. This was not taken...

Raquelle is all better! Yeah! Titus is mostly better. Thad and I still feel like we have head colds. Kezzy is getting worse. I called her dr again yesterday and they had me take her in to urgent care. At the Urgent care clinic, the dr basically said the same thing as her dr had earlier this week. As long as her color is good and she is eating and having wet diapers, just wait it out. This morning, she woke up with a fever of 102.8. No one else in the family has had a fever with this. She is also now refusing to eat. It is 2 in the afternoon and she hasn't had a wet diaper yet today and she has only eaten about 3 oz since midnight! Around lunch time, I used a medicine dropper to try to force some fluids into her. She has basically slept the enitre day, waking up only to cough and attempt to cry. So she is still very sick and could still use lots of prayers. I'm praying that tomorrow we will wake up to her being finally on the uphill side of this, but so far each da...

If you are reading this, please stop and say a prayer for my family. Everyone is sick. To recap... Titus had a clear runny nose last Friday all day. He was acting like he felt fine, played like normal...just a runny nose. Saturday afternoon, Titus started coughing (literally on the way to Mikayla's birthday party.) We left the birthday party early because I was concerned that he might spread his cold to other people there. If anyone reading this got sick from his cough, I'm really sorry! Sunday - Titus and Keziah stayed home from church with Thad. Raquelle and I went. Titus is now coughing Chronically and really hard. Monday - Called the dr and made an appointment. Raquelle starts coughing too. Titus is coughing multiple times per minute, even while on cough syrup. I sent Raquelle with Titus to the dr since she was starting to get it too. They did a nebulizer treatment at the office because he couldn't breath. He was prescribed an inhalor. We found out his ear ...

Titus finally had his 18 month checkup. He was due for it about the same time his dr retired. I finally got all three kids in as patients with a new dr and he got his check up and shots last week. (Yes, I know he is 21 months. It's a little late) I meant to blog last week, but I misplaced the paper that said how big he is. I found it though, so...here it is. Height - 34.5" - 84% Weight - 26 lbs 5 oz - 43% Head - 91% At his last check up, his weight was 88% (I think) and before that he was off the charts...so he is shrinking! Not really, he just did all his growing in the first year of life and has slowed down to let all the other kids catch up now. In other news...I now have a FULL exempt daycare! I took on a new child last week, and will have another one starting in February. Now I can't take anymore kids unless I register, and they would have to be over 6 years old! I don't plan on registering though. I have no toys of interest for school age kids and don...

What do you do with 3 small children when the high for the day is 36? You dress them really warm before you leave for the zoo! Monkeys Elephant! I didn't get it in this pictures, but the elephant had a baby not long ago. So we got to see the little baby elephant with its mommy! Polar bear. This is the smaller one. The other one was huge! The sign said he was over 1000 lbs! And the highlight of our trip to the zoo! "Bird land on mommy! Bird drink mommys juice all gone!" Apparently, the birds thought Thad had some juice too! "What a pretty baby!" (says the bird!) The first bird invited his friends to share! And that is what you do with small children with cabin fever on a cold day. Due to the cold, there was hardly anyone there! We had no trouble getting right up to the windows and fences to see the animals. Aside from the birds, Raquelle has been talking on and on about the lion, bear, and "big gecko" (crocodile) .
