He's changing before our eyes...

I can't believe how much our little man has grown and changed in a matter of 11 weeks! It seems like yesterday that I found out we were expecting...but at the same time, it feels like he's been here forever. He has become such a part of us, and its amazing to think how all of our lives have changed in such a short time.
I believe it about time for a little update. Let's start with last Monday...my poor little buddy had spent a miserable weekend at the lake, all snotty and snorting. So Monday I was able to get him into the pediatrician office, where he was diagnosed with bronchiolitis and placed on breathing treatments every four hours. So sad. It's crazy to think about how many breathing treatments I have given children at work and don't think twice about it. But when it's your own, it seems like such a terrible thing. But once again...my little man handled it like a champ! We went for a follow-up on Wednesday only to find that he was still wheezy. The treatments continued..
Moving on to this past weekend...MeMe and PaPa kept Cayden while daddy and I headed to good 'ol Van Wert on Friday to participate in the wedding festivities for Jackie and Mark (one of my college roommates, for those of you who don't know Jackie!). They brought him there on Saturday to attend the wedding...it was a great time! I'll have to add pictures once I get them downloaded! It's always so fun to get together with all of my old pals and to see everyone's kids and spouses! Love it!
Following that exciting weekend, we went for another follow-up with the baby...No more treatments needed! He's basically all cleared up, except for a few boogies here and there! He's doing well though. So...it was a crazy week last week...and to top it all off I went back to work full-time!! I definitely had mixed feelings about going back to work - part of me needed to just get out of the house for awhile (although I soon realized that 12 hours, in the middle of the night, might be a little more than I really wanted), another part of me had gotten pretty accustomed to just hanging out with Cayden all day! We have a convenient little set-up where daddy watches the baby at night and takes him to MeMe's in the morning, and it's worked out pretty well so far! Cyle has been absolutely great in this transition, I couldn't be more proud! (He even changed his first poopy diaper tonight!!) I get text messages and pictures sent via phone to me at work in the evenings of the two of them hanging out...bonding! There's nothing like seeing the two best looking men in my life smiling at me when I'm getting bombarded with patients at work. It makes me content to know that they're safe and happy at home. I love them beyond words! :-)
