Parenting........

Rough week....Nicholas has RSV (common childhood virus) that has escalated into some serious bronchial problems. He's been at Texas Childrens for a few days but has not gotten any better. We're presently waiting on a chest x-ray to see what else is going on. He's taking breathing treatments now with some asthma medication which seems to be helping a little. Poor little guy! I'm going crazy not doing anything for Jillian. It's so weird to be here cleaning my house and waiting on the phone to ring! Like I told her, she's Nicholas' mom and she's doing what she can for him...well, I need to be your mom now! She's so tired and postpartum yet.........please pray for us all.........I'm keeping my Facebook updated as regularly as possible and will try to do this too. Thanks for the prayers!!!!!

Christmas Break!

I love being off! But how come we can't seem to just relax???? Kim had a CT scan this morning (just being safe with his family history), then Jill and I both went for a haircut this afternoon. We took Nicholas with us and Kim kept Curtis. Tomorrow Kim's going hunting so I'll have some time to get things together for Christmas Eve. I'm also going to lunch with Lana. That'll be a nice break. You'd think we lived hours apart as much as we see each other!

Trying to keep the reason for the season in my heart..........I love getting mail this time of the year!!! Just with everyone would send a note or picture!

Really fun day!

Kim and I took Curtis to the downtown Aquarium yesterday. We had SO much fun riding the Ferris Wheel, carousel and the train through the shark tank. Curtis was such a wonderful young man. He held the doors open for his Nana and even offered to share his "alligator" on the carousel. He was a little afraid of the dark tunnels and all the fish around us in the big tour but I thought he was a pretty brave little man when he wanted to ride the Ferris Wheel again! He kept checking that there was glass between him and the sharks though! Pretty smart dude!

Sugarland Tree Lighting

Went to downtown (or uptown) Sugarland tonight with Kim, Kristy & Kaylee.....it was really nice but cold! It's actually supposed to snow tomorrow here....we're getting snow before the east coast - now that's weird weather!

Nicolas Michael arrives!

I've had a very busy few days.....Monday morning at 12:00am Jillian called and said that she was in labor. So Kim and I went to their house....Nicholas Michael made his grand entrance at 6:15am at a whopping 9lbs 4 oz and 21 1/4 " long. He a keeper for sure! Dan says he could have won a bass boat and trailer for a whopper that size! He has a full head of hair too. Jillian is doing really well. I am so proud of that girl! They graced me with the pleasure of being in the room with them while she labored and gave birth. She does everything with such grace! Hard to believe she's my daughter!!!! Must be taking after her father!

I'm planning on posting some pictures on picassa..........check them out!!!!
