'09 Update


It has almost been a month since I last posted. We rang in the new year with a bang...nothing too exciting. Played Candyland with Emma and Wii with Daddy.
A week ago Monday we had an 18 week appt. with Dana and got to see another sonogram. We were thrilled to find out we are having another girl in June. All is well in baby land. I am finally starting to feel normal again...still a little problem with certain foods. We treated both of our parents to dinner Monday night to share the great news.
That same night Emma woke us both up at midnight with what would be the start of a very trying week and a half. After an eventful night (I will spare you with all the details) I took her to the Dr. on Tuesday being diagnosed with croup. Whew...I don't wish that on any child. After a few days of coughing, and many sleepless nights, she started different symptoms and running a fever again over the weekend. Back to the Dr. on Monday and now leaving with a diagnosis of an ear infection and the beginnings of pneumonia. Oh, I forgot to mention that they were sending Emma to the hospital to be admitted for the night. Ugh!! What a start to the week. I am thrilled to report that Emma does seem to be back to herself with a cough still. She was up only once last night. She is taking meds and starting to eat a little more. We will go the Dr. next week for a follow up appt.
Over the weekend Grandma Berry celebrated her birthday...of course I forgot to take pics. Grandpa Bud will have knee surgery tomorrow. We pray that he will have a quick recovery. Not much else to report.
Here are a couple of Christmas pics that I didn't get posted.
