::December::

-December has gone by so quickly. I guess that's what happens when you have a newborn.

-A week an a half after Grayson was born I had to go back to the hospital because my incision site was infected and had come back open a little bit. That was not fun but it eventually got taken care of. 

-The first few weeks of December were spent hanging around the house and playing with new baby brother. 

-The girls were not that excited about Grayson when he was born and came home but now they love him and are constantly in his face. They love to help me also. Their favorite thing to do is put his paci in for him. 

-We also attended Josh's company Christmas party on December 19th. It was all the way in Clinton, NC so we had to travel a little over 2 1/2 hours to get there. He really wanted all the kids to go so we loaded everyone up and had a great time. This was the first time Grayson had traveled that far and he did great. He slept almost he whole time. 

-About 2 weeks ago Ryleigh got a cold and a ear infection. I took her to the doctor for some antibiotics and hoped that they rest of the family wouldn't catch anything. Well, the whole family ended up getting it and Josh, Emma, and I are still getting over it. We were all sick for Christmas which put a huge damper on everything but it was still nice. 

-On Christmas eve I noticed Grayson was coughing alot and sounded really congested. I called the doctor and they said to keep an eye on him. Then on Wednesday we took him and Emma to the doctor. Now Emma has the cold and also an ear infection. Once again, I was told to keep an eye on Grayson and to bring him back if anything changed. Well yesterday he got worse and so I took him back. He tested positive for RSV. I am very thankful though that it hasn't gone into his lungs because then we would be in the hospital. I am hoping this passes soon. I feel so helpless and I hate seeing him so sick. He is still being a great baby though. 

The past few weeks have been rough with everyone getting sick but this past month has been the best. We are absolutely in love with our new little family member. I'll update more on him soon.
