Scary doctor visit

Another doctor visit today...this one was not planned, though. I changed Reid's diaper around 11:30 pm last night and everything was normal. When I changed him again around 4:30 am...he has this gross blistery looking pimple thing on his inner thigh. I cleaned him all up and put cream on him to see if that would do anthing before his next change. When I changed him again around 7 am...it was still there and really hard to touch. Reid was not fussy at all and didn't mind anyone touching the blistery looking thing. (nice and technical, huh?) Anyway...I called in Brian to look, and he just thought it looked like a huge pimple head. I still didn't like the looks of it. So, I called our doctor, and he wanted to see Reid today. To make a long story short....Dr. Strong had to pop the mass to drain it and take a culture of it. They want to make sure it is not any type of staff infection. SCARY. Dr. Strong does not think it is a harm at all. He thinks it is (spelling????) impetigo. So, poor Reid...here we go again with meds and appointments. We have to put a warm compress on it hourly and he is on an antiobiotic for the bacterial infection (strep infection). Poor kid. I have to watch the mass and report in the morning what it looks like. If the doctor does not like what Reid's leg looks like, we will be back in the office for blood work. Hopefully, we won't have to go this route. Say a little prayer tonight that this is just a strep infection. We hope so. Ellie has her first dentist appointment tomorrow morning. It should be a treat. I will take my camera!!!! Prayers for Reid tonight.....

Love to you all....

Wooo- Hoooo!! Back in business!!!

Wooooohoooooo!!!! We have a new camera...yesssss! Now, I just have to learn how to use it!!! I will have Brian give me the low down, and I will post pics soon!!!! I've only been without my camera for a little more than a day....but man, I missed it!!!! So, watch out...new pics to come soon!!!!!

Oh no!!!! Say it isn't so....

It's not looking good....Mommy's camera looks like it has died. She is not taking this well. How will she survive without taking pictures???? I think she already put my daddy on the mission to look for a new one online. Sooo...you won't see too many pictures of me...at least for a few days. Mommy can't believe that her camera has died...but I told her that after about a million pictures....something has to give!!!!! So, bear with us...we will still be posting...just no pics for a little while. A very little while if Mommy has any say!!!! : )

Look who is ONE month old!!!!

Just a little note to show how big Reid is getting! He is one month old today! He went to the doctor with Mommy. He weighs 10 pounds and 6 ounces already! He has exactly gained one pound since he was born. The doctor was glad to see how well he has grown!!! Way to go, Reid! He was also 21 and 3/4 inches long. He has grown about an inch and a quarter in just four weeks! Mommy thinks he is growing too fast for her! She wants him to stay tiny! Well, tiny might not be the word...he was never real tiny!!!! He is a little above average for height and weight...and the doctors are glad to see this! We are proud of you, Reid!!!! Keep on growing!!!!

My Family

Hi, everyone! I made this picture with my Grandma Carol when Mommy and Daddy were with Reid in the hospital for his surgery. Mommy has it hanging on the fridge..because she loves it. I love my family....especially baby Reid.

Almost asleep.....shhhhh

I had to post thie picture! (it's Ellie's mom). Reid was rocking in daddy's arms today and just really loving it. His little arm was tucked up behind his head for who knows how long. When I looked closer...it was blue!!! He had it all tucked under his head in a wierd position and was losing circulation! Brian felt so bad! The little guy was too comfy to even complain!!! What a peanut!!!! Just as a sidenote...he is sleeping in his cradle now and his arms are both back to the original color that they should be!!!! : )

Just being Ellie!

Hi, guys! I was just wearing my backpack around the house today singing about Blackbirds....I like the part that says, "Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie." I usually say, forty two blackbirds...and my mommy smiles. I love to sing, and I was just really happy when my mommy took this picture this morning. Just being me!!!!

By the way....thanks Annika for the pants!!! I love them, and they fit great!
