More Pictures





Christmas is almost here

Here are a few of the Christmas pictures we had made for the Christmas cards. It was a trying day to say the least. If you have kids, you know what I am talking about. If you don't, then let me give you a little clue. Don't expect them to wait 30 minutes for pictures, then have the pictures taken, then wait another 30 mintes to view the pictures and finally give you time to pick out the ones you want.
Next time I will only get the pictures taken and then get a babysitter before I try to pick out what I want. I hope I get some good ones because I picked them out in less than 10 minutes. This was completely my fault for expecting so much out of a 10 month old and a 33 year old. They were both grumpy and ready for a nap when we were done. I really didn't expect for everything to take as long as it did. Just as we were sitting down to pick out the pictures I noticed Brennen needed to be changed. I told Barrett to just hold him and I would hurry and then we could change him in the car. So 2 minutes later Barrett comes up to me and shows me his wet shirt. Yes...Brennen peed through his diaper and all over Barrett. So Barrett took him to the car and changed him and waited for me. Fianlly it was all over and we headed home. As soon as I got a bottle in Brennen's mouth he fell asleep. Bad mom I know. Way too much action for a baby. Just learn this lesson form me.....if your baby needs to be changed it would probably take less time to change him than deal with the aftermath. I will post more pictures later.

He was a Champ

Brennen did great during his surgery. He was home by Monday afternoon and slept until about 1:30pm. He took pain meds for the first day and then was only on Tylenol the next day. He seems to be getting back to normal. He is playing and getting into everything again. Nothing seems to be bothering him. He finally gets to take a bath in the morning. He loves his bath time, so I think that was the worst part for him. Here are a few pictures from the hospital.

This was before the surgery. He was very good the whole time.

This was also before the surgery. His Daddy was tickling him and wrapping him up in a blanket.

This was after the surgery. He was pretty much out of it until about 1:30pm that day.

This was also after the surgery. He was given some pretty strong meds after the surgery so he wouldn't hurt until we could get to the pharmacy to fill his pain meds.
