New Room Arrangement!

Updated pictures of the nursery after adding the Hope Chest :) I love his room!

Oh No! A Disease...

So I mentioned in the previous post that while Bryan was in town, Xavier was a mess. He literally screamed 80% of the time and was whining the other 20%. His gums were very swollen, he refused to eat solid foods and he was slobbering like crazy so we obviously just thought he was teething. We were wrong.

After three days of this behavior, Dustin and I were at our wits end. We were going on NO SLEEP and our nerves were shot from all of the crying. Xavier has always been such a great baby that we are not use to this behavior!

Sick baby :(

On Wednesday, I noticed a blister on his tongue. It looked like a canker sore so I decided to take him to the doctor. When we got to the doctor on Thursday, I explained his behavior to our doctor and also mentioned the sore. She examined him and then to my surprise, diagnosed him with "Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease!" I was shocked. This whole time he was showing signs of simple teething but he had a disease! I began to freak out but she assured me that it was no big deal. She said that something like 70% of babies between the ages of 1 and 4 get this disease. It is not harmful to the baby...just uncomfortable. There is nothing you can do for them besides keeping them comfortable with cold foods and Tylenol.

Scaling at the doctor :)

Hey Mama!

Beautiful Baby!!

The good news is, he is back to his normal self. Blisters gone, eating is back on schedule, and sleep is almost back to normal! He is no longer in pain and we are a happy little family again :)

Grandpa Bledsoe!

Sunday evening, Bryan arrived to stay with us for a couple days and spend time with Beanie. He also delivered THE HOPE CHEST!!!! :) Unfortunately, the day he showed up, Beanie started acting REALLY upset and we were convinced his teeth were bothering him. He was a MESS the whole time Bryan was here :(

Dustin stayed home Monday with the baby because we didn't want to send him to Susie in his condition. This also meant that Bryan got to spend extra time with them. Again, he was a mess the whole time. He whined and cried all day and was up all night, too. It was rough!

Anyway, we tried to make the best of it and enjoy our time with grandpa!

Hey Guys!

High 5!

Blog Updates

This week, Dust updated the tabs at the top of the blog that say "Daddy's Favorites" and "Growth Timeline." Take a look! :)

Thanks daddy!

My First "Official" Mother's Day!

Even though last year dust bought me flowers because I was ALMOST a mommy, this year was technically my first real Mother's Day. For this special day, Dust took me on a shopping spree and I got lots of new clothes! Also, he took Beanie to run some errands and came back with a bouquet of beautiful flowers and a card, all picked out by Bean. He told me that Beanie actually said "Mama" to one of the cards so he had to pick it :) He even let Xavier scribble his name :)

This was also a very special day because it was the first Mother's day that I have got to spend with my mom since we moved to Florida :)

Happy Mother's day Mommies :)

He wants to walk soooo bad!

Cute videos I caught of Beanie...he uses EVERYTHING as a walker these days! He is getting so close!
