hospital agggain!

what? no? not again. Poor hubby. Brandon started feeling so tired and weird a few weeks ago. I really thought nothing of it because he hadn't been sleeping very good because of his back problems. So a few day went by and his throat started really hurting.. he ended up getting white blister things is the back and it got worse and worse. So he stayed home from work a few days after that... and woke up in the middle of the night almost passing out and getting cold sweats really bad. So that morning he could barely open his eyes.. i didn't know what was going on.. could someone really get the swine flu twice?? no no. (he had swine flu and phnemonia about 2 months back). So i take him into emergency at the hospital.

Mono: sucks = so sad. And it also comes with allot of symptoms. Brandon's spleen was twice the size it should be .. and he got hepatitis's in his liver which caused him to get jaundice. . Also they took a heart scan and it came back abnormal. So he had to have a Eco aka heart ultra sound. So everything thank goodness was alright with his heart. (he has had high blood pressure for 4 yrs) So after 2 days in the hospital and long long nights of brandon not be able to sleep or swallow without being in so much pain. .. we find out his spleen is attacking his white blood cells which is causing a low hemagloben level.. so he had to stay there. Then the next day his liver was getting even bigger and nothing had gotten better at all.. we were there another day. How can this get any worse. Poor brandon.. all drugged up on morpheen and other things.. i don't know the names lol.. but it was so hard seeing him go through it all. And to add to it .. we had barely seen gavin cuz he couldn't be around brandon too much.

So on day 5 we got to go home.. His liver went down and he was feeling a little better. He just has to get blood work done to keep an eye on everything and no physical work for 4 weeks. OH the stress of having loved ones get sick. I do not like it at all. Love you babe.

My Little Man! So Grown Up Now

Oh Gavin My adorable little man!! How come our little baby's grow so quike!?? :( He get cuter everyday..and i havn't wrote about things he has been doing lately. Throwing, Hitting,Biting,Destroying things...and screaming lol its a boys life. He keeps me entertained all day! I guess he is going to be my little football player. It's so much fun watching everything he is learning. He can say.. daddy...daddy and daddy .(he loves his dad). He can say turtle, uh oh, puppy, momma, and can finally sign language "please" so he is getting better on the screaming thing. Dad is very happy about that. Gavin can get up onto the couch and all the chairs by himself! kinda scary, but he's been doing it for a while so i think he understands not to dive off anymore. He dances like crazy. .. i've never seen anything cuter than gavin dancing to music! I'll have to put a video on here. He has the stomping foot and bouncing thing down. he love giving kisses.. how could i ever complain.. we could sit on the couch and give kisses all day! aww he is such a mommas boy.. i love it so much. He loves pushing toys.. anything that look even close to something he can push.. he'll play with it for hours. (painting roller..stick..broom. toys.. etc). He is sleeping through the night every night now! yay! Go Gavin! Sense he will be having a little brother or sister soon, that really helps mom out! Yay thats right,, another baby bird on the way! We found out new years eve at my parents house in canada. After trying for 8 months we were so excited!. I'm due sep 14th. So im only 6 1/2 weeks along. .. and very sick. yuck.

Where o Where Have I Been!

So i did not disappear! ha ha I have been a crazy lady lately. About a month ago my mom was rushed into emergency surgery. I of course couldn't stand being so far away, so i went up there for 10 days, just me and Gavin. I know .. how did i do it. It was my first time away from Brandon like that. It was so hard, but well worth it, cuz I don't think we have ever bee so excited to see each other. So i made it home safe, and my mom is doing a lot better, thank goodness. Gavin had popped through 5 teeth now! wow all of a sudden my little Gavin who had no teeth is a toddler with 5. He is everywhere, and is as fun and outgoing as i hoped! Lol. (deep breath)  He is so much fun i love it. So then i get home and 2 days later i got my bottom 2 wisdom teeth out! Sooooo that was a lot more painful then i thought it was going to be. My hubby had to be at work so i was at it by myself. I don't think i have ever been so out of it, i just let Gavin run free for a few days. By the end he seemed so needy and bored, so I'm glad that is over! For the most part it has been a very good couple months, just soo busy, i don't think we are going to be slowing down until after Christmas...oooooh how i cant wait! (love Christmas!) 

If you haven't already heard i have been  sewing sewing and sewing.. and ya pretty much just sewing. ha ha. The last weekend in November and the first weekend of December I'm going to be in the Christmas bazaar at the Portland expo centre!  I'm going to have all my business stuff there. Plus much more.. not everything is on my site because i cant afford to sell the stuff i need for the Bazaar! So come see me there if ya can! :)  So that's my month and why i haven't been blogging.. where has my time gone! ill post some cute pics of Gavin soon. what a cute boy! Back to work :) 

At the State Fare!

So the state fare was so much fun! Mostly because of Gavin. He loved the petting zoo so much, i think we were in there for quite a while. It always fun to see what they r going to like and not like. I also thought i was going to see Katy Perry that night! I was so excited, but i didn't realize u had to buy a concert ticket to get in.. of course! how dumb am i lol. Well here are a few pics of us in the petting zoo. 

Our new home!

3 Amazing Years

Happy Anniversary Babe! Three incredible years have flown by and it just keeps getting better. This 3rd year of our marriage i would have to say has been the best one yet. Gavin came into our lives and we have an amazing little family now. I think i can speak for me and Brandon when i say Marriage life is amazing. There is nothing better. I have married my best friend and I just cant believe how happy we are now.  We have been looking forward to having more kids soon in the future. I think it gets to a point where u just need more babies. lol There is just nothing better. Brandon planned a little getaway for us this weekend and we went to seattle! What an amazing husband. We went to the Space Needle and Wild Waves water park. The whole weekend was exactly what we needed! Well 3 yrs!!! I love it all.. good and bad.. I wouldn't change anything! love u hun! :)
