So, it's been busy, busy, buuuuusy for us lately. Last week was no exception... It was filled with a really sick child, doctors appointments, immunizations, and so much more.
Out of the blue on last Saturday (the 10th, I think) Lynsey Jo starting throwing up, and it went on for days. Just when we thought she was getting better, it would come back. Ick! For four days she didn't eat, slept a lot, and was either getting sick or nauseous. Finally took her to the doctor's on Tuesday and was told the doctor has already seen four other kids with the same exact illness - even started on the same day. (We saw her at 10:30AM, so it was scarey that she'd already seen four others before us.)
Then, on Thursday poor Baby Kelci got
immunizations and it didn't go so well. First, she did NOT like them.
Screamed like no child I have ever heard before. Face and head was red,
had a vein popping out on one side of her head, screaming bloody
murder. It was horrible to watch. (Both Bayleigh and Lynsey Jo always
did fairly well. Maybe a few tears, but never anything close to this.)
Then, one the injection sites got all red and swollen, and had a big
lump under it. It hurt her pretty bad. And, while she was still the
most smiley baby in the world most of the time...occasionally you could
tell it was hurting her and she did her fair share of crying. :( Today
she seems to be doing better. The lump is still there, but the doctors
said as long as there is no fever there is no need to worry. So, I'm
doing my best to "not worry." (Which means I am telling myself
repeatedly to "not worry" all while I worry my Mama brains out...because
that's what us mama's do.)
And, this weekend was a continuation of the craziness for us. Bret has been working SO hard! He works his day job and has been taking side jobs after-hours and on weekends to help us out. (I feel so blessed to have a hubby who loves us so much and takes care of us so well!) I have taken on a couple jobs that I can do after hours and on weekends that have helped us out little too. This weekend I did a TON of filing at a storage unit for the medical office I am working for (in the snow and rain...and, oh my, was it COLD). So between the kids, home, shopping, cooking, cleaning, our jobs, etc., we are super busy these days. But, it is it all worth it...we have one truly amazing family (who I couldn't possibly love more)!

While most of our weekend was working, cleaning, children, we did find some time to have some fun. Bret enjoyed some online gaming and I got to sneak out for a bit. This evening I took Little Miss Bayleigh out to a local bar (yes, I said "bar"...trust me on this one) for their Family Fun Night. Once a month Whiskey River closes down the bar and create a family-friendly environment with singing, dancing, games, food, face-painting, etc. It is really fun! Bayleigh LOVES to dance she is always excited to go to these. I got some video of her this time - she was really getting-down-and-getting-funky. It was too cute so I had to share! I'm sure she'll be mortified one day that I posted these, but I just couldn't resist. (Once you see them you will understand.) c:
This week the craziness will continue. Lynsey Jo has her BIG play at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts! It's her first big play so everything is new and she is unsure what to expect...so it has created some anxiety. But, she is SO talented I have NO doubt she will be amazing!! I can't wait to see her. And, there will be LOTS of family and friends there to see her. She is so happy to have all the support. (So is her school, Corridor. Thank you all again!) We are especially excited that Grandma and Grandpa Doser from Baker City are going to make it to Eugene to see it too. (Yay!!) Wish her luck and stay tuned for the details of how it went... (And, video. And, pictures. And, anything else I can get my Mama paws on.)
Well, all kids are in bed (haaaaallelujah!!) and it's getting late. So, I must close this post. I hope this finds you all well and having an amazing weekend (or, week...depending on when you read it). We love you all and can't wait to see you soon.
Hugs and love,
Leslie and family...<3
