i can't believe it's almost march

we have so much going on right now. we are both working a ton, the kids have been sick, we have all of these March of Dimes things going on (Thanks Mel for donating!!) and stuff is crazy. i'll update tomorrow night because i'll have new pictures of our March for Babies kickoff meetings!!

we (don't) want the funk

now i've got the funk. 102 degree fever, cough, general feeling of crappiness.

Do you see what time it is??!!

It's 6:08 am, people. I'm awake, and have been for most of the night. You see, last night we took Noah to the ER. He's been coughing a lot lately and having trouble breathing and wheezing, so I thought it might be pneumonia and we went ahead and took him in. Not pneumonia, just RSV!! Respiratory Syncytial Virus. They have been on synagist for RSV since October. It's an antibody that is supposed to help prevent them from getting it. It's about $3000 per shot and they get one a month from October-March. Yeah. It's common in babies and small children and it's a virus that attacks the lungs and RESPIRATORY system, hence the R in RSV. We've been scared of this virus since usually it puts babies in the hospital immediately. Luckily I took Noah before he got to that point. He is contagious, however, and banned from daycare until he is better. This sucks, as this is the worst possible week this could happen. They sent us home with him on breathing treatments. This nebulizer they sent is as loud as a freight train! Imagine putting that up to a baby's face! He wasn't really digging it, and I'm sure this thing will cost us a couple of thousand --- insurance better pay for it! Anyway, that's my gripe. No sleep and a sick baby again - hopefully Aaron won't get it, but that's highly unlikely.

lazy days

So, the photo class seems to be going alright. It seems so elementary to me, but I have gotten a couple of things out of it. I got accolades for a couple of pictures. I guess there isn't a very high expectation in there. I attached a couple of them. It's been a tough week. Work is busy - inventory and just having too much to do. Travis is busy at work and all stressed because his Michelin girl is out on maternity leave. Having two tired parents is not conducive to having action-packed evenings with kids. Good thing they've slept pretty well the last couple of days. I am getting more and more nervous about the wedding I'm photographing. You're always scared of ruining someone's day, I suppose. I guess that's about it. Nothing really going on this week. I tried this fat flush thing to jump start my last 10 lbs and it so didn't work. This juice stuff tasted like the worst ass-smelling crap you can imagine. I guess I'll just have to go at it the way I used to . . . by eating right . . . . boo.
