Good News or Bad News First?

Well I always ask for the bad news first, so I'll do the same for y'all....

Our poor little Cade. He just can't get better fast enough.
It started with a cold almost 3 weeks ago. Then that turned into a double ear infection. And now he has the WORSE cough EVER. It wakes him up almost every 2 hours and yesterday the daycare called to tell me he had been coughing for like 3 hours straight. He still has no fever, he's still eating, and he's still in great spirit, but it has literally become so exhausting for us all.
So yesterday we started Albuterol drops and breathing treatments through a Nebulizer.
Thank God they have invented a Nebulizer with a pacifier because the mask was a "no-go".

The good news starts with that he only woke up once last night. So hopefully these treatments are going to work.

The other good news is that we have had two amazing weekends in a row.
Cade has been a hit with everyone.

Two weekends ago, Nannie and PawPaw Langford came to visit. He LOVED them both so much. Even though he wasn't feeling great, he loved all of the cuddling and kisses. He can't wait to see them again in March so he can get some more lovin'.



Then last weekend we trucked on up to Houston. Cade and Bugslie decided to pass the time on the drive up by hanging out. Yes Bugslie is IN the carseat with Cade!!!


We went to visit for multiple reasons. First was so Cade could meet his future wife. Her name is Anna. My best-friend Aryn had her baby on Oct 31 and since Cade was born only a few weeks prior, we were unable to be at each other's births. So Cade and Anna FINALLY met and it was love at first sight in my opinion!



Next we went to visit family. My mom's side of the family all got together and it was so great. Luckily my dad and Karen were able to come see us too. I love my family!!!!





Then we ended the weekend with friends, wine, and laughter.
Below is Judah & Romi, Aryn & Anna, and Me & Cade. (We all went to Pearland High School c/o 97)


And don't forget- REAL men LOVE pink (Cade loved Anna's pink chair)!!!


Once we got home, Cade crashed on the couch with his sisters! What a crazy few weeks!!

Well I'm not happy to hear Cade is still sick, but other than that sounds like you guys have been having lots of fun, so yeah for that. I didn't know you were from Pearland. I have a great aunt that I just love whom lives in Pearland. Oh, and I love the pic of all three of your babies crashed out together. Mollie, our oldest dog, used to nap with Rylie on a blanket in the floor when he was much younger. Nowadays she likes keeping her distance...wonder why that is? He he.

Nebulizers: been there, done that, still doing it every single night in fact. But it has worked wonders for us. Hope he is better soon!
