Wiggle Worm

Today, Mom and I took Jaden to his one year follow-up with the cardiologist, Dr. Bromberg. They were please to see such a healthy big boy. They wanted to do an ultrasound to check the pinhole in his heart. Needless to say, it is much easier to said than done to hold down an 13 month old. Mom, the technician and I did our best, but he was NOT pleased. We even tried giving him his first sucker which was a sticky mess!! The good news is they were unable to find the pinhole. That combined with how well he is doing means they don't want to see him until he is four! Dr. Bromberg said if everything still looks good at that point, they will release him. God is so awesome!

Sick Baby Bear

Baby bear has been sick this week. :( Mommy, Grandma and Daddy have all stayed at home a day with him. The doctor thinks it roseola, which is a few days of high fever followed by a rash. You have been pretty miserable and just wanted to be held. It breaks my heart to see you sick.

5 year checkup

Little Man had his five year old checkup yesterday with Dr. Kebler. Dr. Kebler saw Camden at 2 weeks old when we finally got to come home from Minnesota. So, it was kinda special that we saw him again for this appointment. Camden was so brave! Grandma and I could tell he was nervous by the way he talked non-stop and buzzed around the room. He passed all his screening with flying colors. He is in the 10-25th percentile for weight and 25th for height. Daddy says we need to get some meat on his bones! He asked the nurse to give his shot in his arm so he didn't have to lay down. He barely whimpered when she gave it. We celebrated afterward at Toys R Us and Grandma bought our big boy the Rescuebot Bumblebee and a Tenkai Knight. Then, we met Papa at Steak 'n Shake for lunch. What a fun day!

Remembering

I am always remembering when my sweet boy was little. I am loving watching him grow up, but a tiny part of me misses him being so little. We always schedule Camden's yearly check-up on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day since Todd and I are both off school. Camden was sad this year when Dr. Jackie told him he had to get shots and wanted to be held. Holding him brought back memories of his first visit to Suburban Pediatrics when he was 2 weeks old. So, I asked Todd to snap a picture with my phone. Then, when we got home, I found this picture and to be honest, it kinda made me tear up. Look at the difference! I am so grateful God has allowed me to be his momma. I am so blessed.
