Brian Matthew

Brian is my snuggle bunny. He loves to be held right now. Most of you know he has had a lot of problems with his breathing. He had a bronchoscopy on Feb 26th. He was officially diagnosed with tracheolaryngomalacia... big word. Basically means his airway is immature. It should clear up on its own by 18 months old. We are still following up with Pulmonologist. He is having a sleep study done on Saturday April 4th to see if he has sleep apnea due to his floppy airway. Also, on April 7th he will have a upper GI Barium swallow to test for reflux. The doctor wants to make sure he doesn't have it because it can prolong the floppy airway from correcting itself. If both of those test come back okay he wants to test him for Cystic Fibrosis since I am a carrier of the DeltaF508 gene. Other than that he is growing like a weed. He is chunky like Jaicee was.

Stephen J

OMG, what can I say about Stephen? He is my star. He will befriend anyone. He lights up a room when he walks in. He has a smile that will melt your heart. But, he does have a side that most people don't get to see... he is 120% all boy. He is bad and gets into everything. He will laugh at you when you tell him no. He loves to test his limits with anyone and everything. He is fearless! He has already had a close call with stitches. He fell in the tub, but they were able to glue it back together. This boy has one personality... Moms of 1 year old little girls... watch out for this boy 16 years from now.

Jaicee Marie

Jaicee is doing great. She loves her new little brother so much. She is still doing cheerleading. She has practice every Tuesday from 4:30-5:30. She is the youngest one on the team. All the other girls have already turned 4 or older and Jaicee doesn't turn 4 until August 24th. She enjoys spending time with her best friend Ainsley even though they dont get to see each other as much as they want to. She loves celery, carrots, mac n cheese, apples, and STEAK. Yes, she loves steak. Thats all I can think of right now about Jaicee. She is my little firecracker!

Garden

We started a garden. Tuesday Matt and Stephen went to Home Depot and bought some tomato, pepper, and cucumbers to grow. We also bought some strawberries. Jaicee and Stephen were very excited to help out. I dont have a picture of the finished project but I will take some pictures whenever we start actually growing stuff. Jaicee knows exactly what every thing is out there and can point to stuff and name it.

New to this...

All my friends have blogs and I wanted to start one. I am a beginner so please excuse my blogging. And thank you to Cheryl for helping me put this thing together.

I have three beautiful children. Jaicee is 3. Stephen is 20 months, and Brian is 4 months. I am currently in nursing school to get my LVN. I've been married to my husband Matt for 3 years on April 22nd.

As you know our life is busy busy busy. Right now Matt is only off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. But, that is working for us right now. The kids do not go to daycare. Matt watches them during the day and I watch them at night.

We have a lot of distant family and I want keep this updated so these relatives can see whats going on with our family.

Thanks for reading!
