OMG I am so far behind!

I am finally posting pics of Jaxson's 1st Birthday! YAY! It's about time right? lol Anyways the first set of pics are from his birthday party here in Indiana.  The second set are from his party in Pikeville. I want to say a special thanks to Jaxson's grandparents and aunts for all the help with the parties, and a really special thank you to my bestest friend, Megan, for helping me out in Pikeville. (She literally saved me! haha) There are more pic's on facebook but I tried to post some important one's here, Enjoy!

Sad week :(

Wednesday night Neil's grandmother, Jaxson's great-grandmother, had a massive brain aneurysm.  She was hospitalized and we were able to go down to Paoli, which is about 2 hours away, on Thursday evening.  Everyone was still hopeful that she might eventually wake up but the damage was too bad and she was too old and frail to take further steps medically.  Thelma Foddrill passed away in her sleep around 4:30 a.m. Friday December 10, 2010.  She was 84 years old and the mother of 8 children.  Thelma was a wonderful lady, full of life and energy.  There was never a time when you saw her that she didn't talk to you and compliment you, she was just so sweet.  I am so very saddened by this family loss and I feel so sorry for Neil, his dad, and his aunts and uncles,  they loved her so much.  And so did everyone who had the pleasure of meeting her. I for one, am honored to have known her and been able to spend time with her, I just wish Jaxson could have known her better. :(  She loved Jaxon, she always lit up whenever she saw him! We will miss you so much Thelma, you will always be in our hearts!

Repeat x2

Well, after a Thanksgiving full of vomit, we've done it again x2!  Neil returned home Saturday from work sick! He puked before he left work and had to drive home with his open lunchbox on his lap in case he got sick in the car! So, Jaxson and I took care of him all day and he called in for work.  Saturday night, this momma couldn't sleep, I was so nauseous! Then around 7:30 I started throwing up too! Today my ribs are still sore and my lungs hurt.  This 48 hour bug thing is like the flu mixed with food poisoning.  It sux, that's for sure! Anyways, I promise to have something good soon! Hope everone is having a Happy Monday!

The best eating day of the year was not so filling...

So, our Thanksgiving post is picture-less and I will tell you why.  We started our day at 12:30 am.  Jaxson woke up in his cry screaming, so I went in, picked him up, and put him in our bed to sleep with us.  He kept whining, so I woke Neil and made him hold Jax so I could make him a bottle.  We had ran out of milk earlier and put his last 5 ounces in the fridge, but Jax normally has about 10 ounces at a time.  So when the bottle ran out, he was MAD!  He kicked us in the head, scratched us, slapped us, and would not go to sleep! At around 3:30, after Neil had gotten up and tried to sleep on the couch but was unsucessful so came back to bed, Jaxson finally fell back asleep. THANK THE LORD! I was finally able to rest after a tireing day before Thanksgiving.  Around 5:30 I woke up because I thaught Jaxson was choking but he was asleep and I was confused.  "Maybe I dreamed it"??  Nope! At 7:00 I heard it again and this time my poor baby was making a funny little noise with the chocking sound so I picked him up and starting hitting him on the back and he stopped.  Neil says "I think he puked" and there were 3 yellow, wet stains on our 1000 thread count white sheets! ugggg! So we get up, strip the bed, pre-treat our stains (which were also soaked into our down pillow topper) and put the babe in the bath tub.  He seemed fine after that and played around the house until we left for grandma's house. 

9:30 am, After our 1 hour drive from Indianapolis to Nashville we get out of our car and realize jaxson has thrown up again.  This time it was the same yellow bile-ish stuff but it was all over his sweater (which is hand wash only AHHHH).  We go in, Jax plays hard, eats all kinds of random foods, and has about 20 ounces of milk.  11:30- I get finished helping with the preparation of our wonderful dinner and decide it's time for me to shower and get ready.  I am enjoying my silence when I hear a knock at the door....it was mamaw Sally saying "your baby puked" and then opening the shower curtain and putting him in with me! lol My poor babe was covered in what looked like huge cottage cheese chunks and had a look on his face of pure confusion.  I bathed him off for the second time in one day while Neil called the doctor.

We were informed that a stomach bug had been going around and we were instructed to not let him eat or drink for 2 hours, and after that only Pedialite and water! AHH so no delicious Thanksgiving meal for little jaxson boy...it was so sad.  He sat at the table with us and drank watered-down Gatorade.  Bless his little heart, I felt so bad for him.  This is why there are no pictures of Jaxson's 2nd Thanksgiving, and why I spent my day in-between throw-ups and eating, doing laundry!

I hope everyone else had a great Thanksgiving and maybe we'll get a good post in a couple of days! lol!
