#36 - Happiness Overload!

February 5, 2012
Headed home after two magical days!
Thank you Andrew, Mom & Dad & Didi! I'm not exaggerating when I say, this was the best gift ever!

#35 - The Happiest Place on Earth

February 4, 2012
Some days just get more than one picture...
Isla meets Mickey. Despite the crowds, he sat right down & had a little chat with her.
Disneyland exceed all of our expectations! (Taken with special light feature than makes small lights look like stars.)

#34 - On the Mend!!!

February 3, 2012
Isaac is on the mend at back to his old exercise routine. Got to build up those guns! (Poor little man still looks a bit subdued.)

#33 - My Fuel Source

February 2, 2012This is what I lived on during this hell week of no sleep. Bags and bags of Trader Joe's peppermint saltwater taffy, on clearance for 1$. ...and I wonder why I can't drop the baby weight...
PS - Isn't "February" the weirdest word? It looks like it has an extra "r."

#32 - Poor Baby!

February 1, 2012Ike did not get his 1st February off to a good start. I was up all night with him doing steam showers and counting his respitory rate and calling my RN-on-call (aka - Mom). Isaac's respiratory rate was over 60 most of the night and tylenol didn't do much for his fever. When I called the Pedi in the AM, the nurse said I should have taken him to the ER. Now I know - high respiratory rate for over an hour = ER at night or Pedi during the day. He didn't need to go in though in the AM. He was doing much better.

#31 - Staying Sane

January 31st, 2012
Isla was on the tail end of something & Ike was in the midst of something & I was not sleeping at all. Luckily Ike was content in his Jungle Gym.

#30 - Sauna Time

January 30th, 2012
Ike got really sick this week. I think it may have been RSV, because Isla's classmates had it and she was also sick, but Isaac was never tested. He was coughing a bunch and the only thing that helped was putting him in the bathroom with the fan off and blasting the shower on high heat. He seemed to like his little steam room.
