Life is Good

Life is going good right now and we can't really complain but there is a lot going on in our lives. Here is a brief run-down:

• After over a week of Hayes not sleeping well and not napping well, or at all, in her crib day bed mommy waved the white flag. After Mingie headed back to west Texas Sunday we loaded up and went on a full size mattress hunt. Daddy came home to covert Hayes bed to a full size bed and the kiddos and I headed out to find bedding for the new bed. At 4:30 on a Sunday afternoon our choices were quite limited considering we had to get it home, washed, and on the bed for bedtime. Hayes had fun picking out sheets at Target. She loves her big girl bed except at bedtime and nap time! We are making small strides in getting our angel back to loving her bed and being a great sleeper.
• Mid June Hatcher started spitting up rather frequently. It just kept getting worse, more frequent and more of it. He started spitting up after every feeding session and many times it was projectile. A few times it was yellow and I had called the doctor concerned with it's color. It didn't seem normal so on Friday Hatcher and I went to the doctor while Hayes stayed home and played with Mingie, Gigi and Pa Pa. Dr. Benbow suspects that Hatcher has acid reflux. Hatcher started taking Axid on Friday but it didn't seem to sit well with his stomach so I called today and they switched him to Pepcid. We hope this makes him feel better. Dr. Benbow didn't like that he has spit up yellow so on Thursday we go to the hospital for an upper GI with a small bowel follow through. Say a little prayer for Hatcher that it is just a minor issue that he will outgrow. I will let you know the results.
• And sadly I have news about my little Lexi dog. I have had Lexi longer than Craig. Lexi and I got together spring 1997 and Craig and I got together fall 1998. Lexi has been in declining health for a while but last Wednesday we found out that Lexi has a malignant lung tumor. She also has an enlarged liver so the doctor, without doing anything invasive, thinks it started in her liver and has spread to her lungs. We are trying to keep her as comfortable as possible. Such sad news.
