Cailyn is feeling Better

I'll let the video say it all:

Cailyn's stint in the hospital

As most of you know Cailyn was in the hospital this week. She woke up in the middle of the night Sunday having difficulty breathing. We gave her some saline and put her back to bed she didn't have a fever or anything. We took her to the doctor Monday morning thinking she had croup.
Thursday morning I took her back to the doctor because she had developed a fever and her cough had gotten worse. He sent us straight to the ER where they confirmed she had pneumonia and was dehydrated. The admitted her and tested her for RSV, Flu, and H1N1. She had RSV. They pumped her with antibiotics and fluids. Originally we were told she would be in the hospital until Sunday but when they checked on her last night they decided to discharge her. So we are home and recovering. Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers.

Merry Christmas

Christmas morning was exciting for us this year. We woke up in our own house with Cailyn ready to open gifts. The only problem was we had to coax Cailyn into the living room by promising her food. John's dad and my parents were able to be here to celebrate Christmas with us this year which was a nice treat. Cailyn loved everything she got from Santa and everyone else. She especially loves her stroller. We have had to hide it a few times as well as Elmo Live to save the grandparents sanity. Oh and yes that is what the tree looked like for only one child.

Every thing has been given a ride in the stroller including her juice cups!!
This is one of our favorit shots.

Christmas in the City

On the 23 we took my parents and John's dad to see the tree at Rockefeller Center and the Macy's window displays. The city was bustling with tourists who wanted pictures without other people in them. Talk about mission impossible. I think we chose the coldest night to go in Cailyn is bundled in her snow gear and a blanket. Anyway here are some pictures from the City.

Here are some shots of the Saks Fifth Avenue and Macy's window displays. Saks Fifth Avenue had snowflakes on the side of their building lighting up to music. Macy's had a Miracle on 34th Street themed window display.

Splish Splash I love taking baths:)

Here is Cailyn and her daddy playing with the bubbles in the tub. She couldn't stop laughing.

Playing in the snow

Here is a picture of me going out to play in the snow and a short video of me and daddy sledding in our yard. Yes we used my swimming pool, the snowboard was to fast for me according to daddy.
