Discovery

So this weekend, Kylee discovered the toilet, and not in a good way. Besides seeing Momma with her head in the toilet constantly puking from the morning sickness (gotta love it) she found what she thought was best thing ever. On saturday patrick found her playing with the water in the toilet. Arms & floor soaked in water and all the kleenex pulled out of the box! Fantastic! After being firmly told Not to play in the toilet she listened and no longer played in that toilet. Sunday morning I am in the basement for my weekly skype with my parents and Patrick calls for me to come up stairs. As I get up there he says look where I found your daughter. I said where, As we round the corner in the master bedroom to the bath room I see kylee in only her diaper sitting INSIDE the toilet bowl. She had somehow climbed inside the toilet with water EVERYWHERE.. Of course we laughed and took a picture and told her not to do that. She listened until she got up from her nap and once again this time FULLY clothed patrick found her in the toilet again. Needless to say she got a time out and was none to happy about it.. Doors now remain closed to the bathroom.. Oh the joys of discovery.

Changes for the Davidson Family

Well it's been a few months since I last updated. We have had a busy couple months. We visited family in Rockford, IL in June. We hadn't seen any of them since Kylee was 7 weeks old. She got to play with her cousins, Emma and Anna and had a blast. Kylee is growing like a weed. Every day she says more and more things. She is such a ham and a joy to be around. We have spent some time at the lake already this summer and are having a blast.

For those of you who have not heard yet, I am expecting our second baby. We are very excited to welcome this little one to our family in January. We won't know for another 6 weeks if it is a boy or girl but we will keep you posted. We had our first ultrasound today so I have attached a picture of the little munchkin.



We are looking forward to what the next several months bring. We hope everyone has a great summer! Love to all!

Easter 09

This year for Easter we got a chance to spend time with all of the Carmichael Family. Kylee had fun finding her first eggs, and even more fun eating the chocolate inside. The Carmichaels were nice enough to set some eggs aside just for kylee to find. We also had a nice visit with our friends the Eichenbergs. Their son is 22 months, so he and Kylee had a fun evening playing together and doing alittle more as you will see in pics.

First Snow of the Season

Kylee got to experience snow for the fist time today. It was the first snow of the season here and probably the last considering its March first.. She wasn't quite sure what to think of the snow but watched it for awhile through the window after we came in.. We got her some little boots for the snow incase we have another oppurtunity to enjoy it..

The Longest week ever!

I have to say this last week has been not only long but sleep deprived and emotionally draining. Kylee's ears had finally healed and we were excited at having a healthy happy baby until Tuesday morning when she woke up at 5 am with a fever. Which meant no school for her and no work for one of us. Lucky for me Patrick was able to stay home with her cause I had a meeting on tuesday. At this point we just assumed she was teething. Nothing else seemed to be wrong except the fever. Her fever remained throughout the day. So tuesday night she would not go to sleep until like 11 pm. Then she woke up at like 12 ish and we brought her in with us hoping she would go back to sleep. No fever at this point. She did fall asleep only to wake up at 2 am with a 102 fever. When taking off her jammies to take her temp we noticed this rash covering her arms and legs. So at this point off to the Children's Hospital. After arriving we were taken into a room with only a short wait. Then doctor was in immediately and noticed her throat was very red. He did a throat culture for strep. Most children under 2 DO NOT get strep.. However she is my child so of course the strep culture came back positive.. At this point he diagnosed the rash as a virus, but said to get it checked by her doc. We get home around 5 am and finally get about 2 hours sleep before I have to get up for work and meetings all day! Again Patrick had to stay home with Kylee. Her fever broke at some point on wednesday however she still had this horrible rash that just seemed to be getting worse. Blisters where starting to form in the middle of the spots. Now, I am starting to get really worried that she might have chicken pox or something like that. So i get on the internet and sure enough it looks just like the picture of chicken pox and the symptoms seem to be the same. It recommended that you circle a couple and keep an eye on them prior to seeing your doc. So I did. Wednesday night she slept better but still woke up a couple times in the middle of the night. Up for good at 430 am. Thursday I was able to stay home to take her to the doc and patrick got a break and went to work. I called the doc prior to going to let them know I thought she had chicken pox, so when we got there they kept us quarentined for about 30 min before bringing us into an exam room. The doc came in and examed kylee and was struggling with what the rash was. She was leaning toward chicken pox as serveral of them had blisters, but wasn't sure cause it wasn't all over her body as chicken pox tend to be. Since it was just on her arms, legs and a couple on her face she was hesitant. She did however say since Kylee had been vaccinated for chicken pox it can tend to look different than normal. The doc brought in another doc for a second opinion, and he too said it didn't look like typical chicken pox but wasn't sure what it was. So at this point since neither could give a definative answer to what it was they said VIRUS..I left there thinking what a bunch of quacks! I couldn't believe they couldn't tell one way or another for sure Yes it is or No it isn't. So they said to just watch it and see if they scab over or more blisters appear. So now that it has been a couple days they have been decreasing in amount and redness, a couple have scabbed but for the most part they are going away.. Which we are very happy about. Hopefully this means she can go back to school on Monday and both Patrick and I can return to work.. I am glad this week is over and I am happy to report Kylee slept until 6:15 ish this morning. Only woke up once at 12 looking for her binki.. Hopefully tomorrow she won't wake up at all in the middle of the night and sleep til 7.. I ready to be back on our normal routine! We could sure use the sleep..

Kylee's Ear Surgery

Today Kylee had her ear surgery. I dreaded waking her up bright and early this morning, fearing she would be grouchy cause we couldn't feed her or giver her any fluids. If you know Kylee you know she LOVES to eat. However, to my surprise she did amazing. We got to the surgery center around 6:45 am and at about 8:15 they had me bring her into the OR and sit there holding her hand until she was asleep. For me that was the hardest part of the morning. Not 10 minutes later they were wheeling her into her recovery room. Everything went smoothly as the doctor had predicted, although she did have another ear infection. This was her 3rd in the last 3 weeks. The poor thing. She slept in the recovery for another 15 minutes or so and then we slowly woke her up. At that point she woke up happy and quickly became upset. Probably alittle due to pain but more in part of her HUNGER! They initally didn't want us to feed her right away but she wanted nothing but her snacks. So they let us feed her and at that point she calmed down.. We stayed there just a few more minutes and then we were free to go. She has been such a trooper today. She has taken 1 three hour nap and another two hour nap. She is such an amazing baby and we are glad today is over. Thanks for all the well wishes!
