Jacob got his tubes!! We went in at 6:30 this morning... Below is us in the waiting room...

 They took us back to a room to both get in gowns and talk to the anesthesiologist and doctor before surgery. Jacob flirted with all the nurses and they all loved him!!

Mommy and Jacob all "gowned up"

He liked his gown with Bug's Bunny on it!! 

 Our feet... I had to put booty's on since I went back to the Operating Room until he was asleep. He did so good!! The anesthesiologist warned me that he would probably fight us holding him down, and that it's normal cause it's just the age they're at. Well... we went back and I held one hand and the nurse held the other. He looked up at the anesthesiologist and just stared for a few seconds and he was out without a fight. They were all amazed at how well he did.

This was right after surgery... the doctor came out and told me that everything went great and "Good luck getting him back from the nurses, they love him!!" I'm glad he did so good!! They said when he woke up he just started sucking his thumb :)

 

Not even an hour later and we were off!! So proud of my brave boy!!! We both took nice long naps when we got home and Jacob is still asleep after over 3 hours!!

 

Thanks for all the love and prayers!! Here's to a healthier year!!

Here we go again...

As most of you already know Jacob has been sick on and off (more on) since October. It's been a rough and stressful winter at our house.... He has had it all....

Double Ear Infection
Bronchitis
Croup
Pnemonia
More Ear Infections
And More Ear Infections...

He has pretty much been on antibiotics since October and is finally seemingly better at this point in time, but considering his past couple months it was decided at the appointment he had today with the Ear Nose & Throat doctor, that it's time for tubes in his ears.

We went through pretty much the same thing with Jackson and he got them put in at 9 months old. I'm ready for our household to be healthy and happy... it's been a wild ride!!

The office is going to call and schedule the surgery sometime this week and we will go from there, and hopefully by his 2nd birthday (April 1st) he will be HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!!

Re-creating a picture from last years Christmas pictures.

I have a 5 year old today!!!

Yikes!! How can Jackson be 5 already?! Time seriously needs to slooooow down!!

5 things about Jackson:

He's helpful
He's happy
He's cute
He's smart
He's loving

Of course I'm his Mom, so I'm a little biased, but he's a pretty good kid!! Our family wouldn't be the same without him!! Now that he's in school it's even more fun to see him and Jacob both excited to see each other and play. They play so well lately and I love hearing them laugh at each other.
