Updates! Dr. checkups, fishin' and more!










Well I didn't post about little Miss Teagan's trip to the ER! She and her brother had some major congestion but hers didn't seem to go away. I took her for a checkup to see if I needed to do anything else besides Vicks vapor rub and the humidifier...(These days you can't give them ANYTHING and even the pharmacist can't consult you until they are 4!!) So we went to the Dr and she said she had mild wheezing and gave her an inhaler and a breathing treatment in the office. We used the inhaler every 4 hours but it just seemed as though the congestion wasn't going away. My mom came over while Chris was on nights to try and let me catch up on some rest but at 3am woke me up because Teagan was having trouble breathing with the major mucous flem she had going on. We just decided we would rather take her to the ER because we had no clue what we were to do if she choked on flem?? Well after like 5 hours we got a chest xray and she had bronchitis. Praise the Lord it wasn't anything worse. We got an oral steriod and were told to continue the inhaler. Also if they choke on flem or anything for that matter they said put them leaning down and firm pats on the back. Good to know! :) She had her 4 month check up Wed and is healthy and well! She is now weighing in at 15.5 lbs and 24 in and of course a tiny head. That's to be expected since brother and daddy have tiny heads! ;)

We also took the Gauger fishing! Chris needed to run the boat and it was a gorgeous day so we took him out and we all three caught a trout! Mine was the biggest by 1/2 in., of course ;) And Gauge caught a baby trout! Literally! I had him holding the pole for the couple of seconds he stopped and was interested and lo and behold the child caught his first baby fish! And what makes it so great is that we all three had matching fish and his was a baby. So cute! His daddy was quite proud and told me when we got home, PLEASE let's do this more! It makes my day! ahhh I think we might ;) Really we had a blast! He can't wait until all 4 of us can go and each fish on our own. Ahh the stars in his eyes! I'm sure he will get us all matching fishing shirts, visors and put us in tournaments if its up to him!
Lately we have just been having a blast with the kiddos and laughing at how fun they are. Gauge just cracks us up and aboslutely loves going to Chuck E Cheese. Teagan is a different child! She is such a happy baby and a smily one at that. She is just now discovering her hands and talking up a storm! And I have been having a blast with my new blackberry phone that my sweet husband talked our tmobile person into giving me for a good deal! Thanks honey!

Have a fun weekend! I am looking forward to seeing Marley and Me with my mother in law tomorrow just the two of us and eating loads of popcorn! YUM! :)

Tara, Hi! Just wanted to leave a random comment :) Thanks for the comment on my blog...that was a rough day for me. BUT the good news is I'm still alive and in much better spirits! Thankfully I don't feel like that very often! Glad you love the tags...I took a look at your blog too. Such a cute family you have! I was just telling my husband the other day that I wish I could meet in real life some of the people that I've "met" through Etsy and my blog. I think we'd have a lot in common...I loved the facts about yourself...I also load up a shopping cart only to dump half of it before I check out AND I love chocolate and a clean house :)! Anyway, I guess I'm in a chatty mood tonight! Sorry for the long comment! Hope you have an amazing week! Blessings ~ Andrea

Love the fishing pictures :) Sounds like Gauge is a natural fisherman :)

Poor little Teagan, glad she's doing better.
