Stitches

So I get a phone call last night from my dad who is babysitting from me. When I answer it all I hear is screaming and then a click. I make myself not freak out and call back. Voicemail. Call back again and all screaming and then I hear my dad say, "We have to take him to the hospital, he fell." That's all I got he couldn't hear me and I could barely hear him all over the screaming. I grab my purse and leave my books behind in class and run to the car. I get in and start heading home and call Miah. Of course the way the night had been going he doesn't answer and I don't have time to text. I call his friend and tell him to get Miah to call me right away. That's when things start to settle down. I get another phone call from my dad that says that Rex is fine (not so much crying). That he will just need stitches but that the bleeding has stopped. This when I finally feel like I can breath. Luckily this is when Miah calls back so I'm able to tell him everything is ok so he isn't in panic all the way in AZ. Once I was able to see Rex it calmed me even more. As I was holding him and trying to get him in the car he was crying again (because Mommy was there) and he said "Hurt." Pause and crying. "Popa." Pause and crying. "House." It was so cute that he was trying to tell me what happened I actually smiled.
 This is the before picture which actually doesn't look as bad as it did in person but you can see that it defiantly needs stitches and he looks so pitiful. We were already at the hospital and I think he was more upset that Popa wasn't letting him play. He did really good through everything and I have to say I just love Children's. They actually have someone on staff that comes in with a bag full of toys and helps distract the child during procedures. She came in and helped with the blood draw and then again with the stitches. It was a life saver during the stitches because I'm normally doing what she was but I can't watch the needles in anything like that and with it being on his face that would have been really hard. I was able to hold him and love on him without having to watch them actually stitch him up.
This is the after shot. He got three stitches and did so good. Miah is glad he is ok and was able to talk to him some but hasn't been able to really see the stitches and he's the lucky one who gets to take Rex to get them out this weekend. That should be an interesting experience for him.
Rex is officially a boy now! Good luck to all us Mommies that have little boys. We are going to need strong hearts to make it through all these types of phone calls!

  1. Poor guy! Glad he is okay though, could have been worse. How is he doing now?

  2. He's doing really good. He doesn't like having his face wiped after eating (but he never really did) but other than that he's acting normal. I'm just sad I won't be with him when they take them out. I have always been there for everything like that.

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

12 Week Bumpdate

Yesterday we had our 12 week ultrasound and I enjoyed it so much! We were able to see our baby's face and she  (we didn't find anything out about the sex just hard to talk without he's and she's) had her hands up by her face. It was so cute. We also have a very stubborn child. The poor tech had such a hard time trying to get the measurements that she needed. She kept trying to get the baby to move. She had me move trying to get to the baby to move and nothing. So we were able to enjoy watching our baby on the screen for at least 20 minutes while she did her best to get the pictures she needed.  I'm a little bummed by the photo she gave us to take home. There were so many good photos where you could see so much and then right at the end she gave us a quick photo that isn't great but I will share it anyway. Like I said bad right. Well so it can help the baby's head in on the right side, Her hand is the white blob in front of her face and then you can b...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...
