Who Does Dalton Look Like

I have never really been able to see how much Dalton looks like me but everyone has been telling me that he did...well I DEFINETLY saw it today!!!

Breaking a Mommy's Heart!

Ok so I know most of you being on Facebook have an idea of what is going on with me and Dalton but I figured I would fill you guys in.  

If you looked at my blog or email from last Friday you saw the "Good Night Gone Bad" update where I talked about Dalton throwing up EVERYWHERE....well what we didnt know is that was the start of it all.  He got sick Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday AM and Sunday during the day...then Monday morning he got sick again and then again at the sitter Monday morning...needless to say this would usually alarm me but since it was only 1 time each day I just thought he was overeating himself sick...that is until Monday when I got 4 phone calls from the sitter and 8 missed calls from Mike.  When I called her back she said that Dalton was lethargic and out of it...throwing up, not eating anything and just scary kinda...so I rushed over and picked him up.  At this point I asked if he had any wet diapers (my concern being dehydrated) and they said NO.  So I got there and seriously guys I dont over-react to much with Dalton (not sure why I am a calm mommy but I am) and when I picked him up I was about in tears...I called Tiff to talk me down from the ledge because I was shaking...He was barely opening his eyes (which scared the living crap out of me that he would stop breathing while in the backseat when I was driving) and he body was limp.  I IMMEDIATELY took him to the ER and thankfully they were not busy (SHOCKER RIGHT?).  They have a seperate Childrens ER which is great at our hospital.  So they got me in within 5 min and here was the conclusion....He was NOT dehydrated thank goodness but he was hypoglycemic from throwing up...hence the lethargicness...so they gave him this HIGHLY POTENT anti-nausea med that they give chemo patients and we had to wait to see if he could keep it down, then they gave him some liquid to see if he could keep it down...after 4 hours we finally got to go home.  Our plan of action was that he was on a straight liquid diet (but NO FORMULA OR FAT OR PROTIEN) of gatorade (they said they dont normally suggest high sugar drinks for kids but they have to in this situtation) for 6 hours and then after that if all went well and he kept it all down they said to start the BRAT diet...Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast!  He has to be on that until tonight.  So far so good...he had a very contaigis stomach flu...which basically they have said to Mike and I that we should just expect to get it at some point...oh how fun to look forward to that....(Lu...I might have to reschedule if I start getting sick!!!)  On a side note he is starting to play and smile again all good signs...yay!!!!  Also, he is STARVING and screams everytime I have to give him this crap plain food...haha!  

Oh and one more thing about this...there a things that will break a Mommy's heart and I have had 2 in 2 days...A baby feeling so bad he cant tell you whats wrong and when all your baby wants is his Mommy and you have to leave him.  I stayed home yesterday with him and even with my Dad there (which he LOVES his Pop Pop he ONLY wanted Mommy....no one else not even Daddy...and today when I took him to the sitter (because they said he has had this for 5 days and it is pretty much out of his system) he just screamed and cried when I had to hand him over.  This is the first time he has ever done that at the sitter...he loves being with her during the day....Ugh...the heartbreak...I welled up with tears getting in my car....Oh...I cant wait to get my baby today when work is over.  

Other than that fun stuff GOD LOVE MY DAD....he is here for a week doing house projects for us that we have no time to get to...things are rocking and rollin' at our house to prepare for the party in July.  Yeah!!!!!  

10 Months....the countdown is on!

Dalton is officially 10 months old.  I cannot belive my baby is going to be a year old.  We were out shopping for some party good ideas for his BIG O-N-E!   He was a hamball this day!  

He thinks he is COOL DUDE!!!  haha!

How Easily Good Nights Turn Bad....

Ok...true story here of how quickly a night changes when you have a kid...haha!  So last night things were going great...I got off work, Mike picked up Dalton (as he always does on Wednesdays because I work until 5:30 that day) and I headed home.  I got home around 6pm, fed the pups and then Dalton and I went for a really nice LONG walk around the neighborhood (we do this any day it is nice out).  Then I came back in and mopped all the floors in the house while Dalton so sweetly watched his baby einstein video, we played a bit, made his dinner, he ate and then it was bath time.  By this time Mike got back from work and was helping get Dalton with his last bottle while I got our food all ready for us to sit down and eat...AND HERE IS WHERE THE NIGHT CHANGES!!!...I hear from the kitchen Mike yell "Oh Crap...Dalton are you ok".  My first thought was that maybe he fell off the couch, lord only knows that was running through my head at this point...so I walked into the room and Dalton was throwing up EVERYWHERE...seriously it was like the ENTIRE bottle he just ate and he was not even bothered by it...just sitting there watching American Idol while he did it!  It was all in the leather couch, all over Mike, the floor, Dalton (who mind you had JUST been bathed) and the carpet by the couch.  So....Mike is in panic mode...I am much more calm under pressure...haha!  I just grabbed Dalton, changed him, RE-MOPPED the floor that not even 2 hours before I had just cleaned, took the couch apart to get under neath the sectional and mop where the milk had gone down, cleaned the carpet and then finally at 10pm got to eat...oh the joy of Children...just thought I would share...haha!

Dalton's Treat on Saturday

On Saturday Dalton was such a good boy so I got him a little treat.  His own ball pit right in his playpen!

Lovin' my letters

Dalton really likes his letters that stick to the fridge.  He now knows that they are there and will come all the way from the livingroom into the kitchen to find them.  They LOVES them!
