Family Pictures

We got family pictures taken by the amazing Missy Lee Photography. I have gone to her for our very first family pictures, she is so good at capturing our style and personalities. I always get SO stressed when we do them, and i dont know why because they always turn out AMAZING!!! the dumb thing i was so stressed out about was paxtons hair lol so we have grown it out and everybody LOVES it, but it is a pain he always has a huge rats nest in the back, i was so ready to cut it off and the day of pictures he wasnt having the best hair day, i was really nervous his hair was going to look ridiculous and all in a huge mess. But of course his pictures turned out adorable. I think i will be cutting his hair off this summer though ;)

The top picture was taken about 2 years ago the bottom recently. My babies are growing so fast.

1 year

This was the worst day of my entire life, I will never forget handing my baby over to the doctors and falling to the floor bawling hysterically. It's been a year since his heart surgery, I'm so happy and thankful it was a one time surgery and he's fixed now. Being at primary children's hospital and seeing all the sick babies is a nightmare and knowing how much they have to go through is horrible. I know pax could have been in a lot worse situation. I hate to admit this experience has forever changed me and now I worry horribly when my kids sick, I get such bad anxiety now I can't move, eat, sleep I'm a zombie. I hope one day I will relax more and get over my fear and have another baby. I'm so proud of brave little man. He's happy and healthy now!!! I know I'm behind on posting this, his year date was April 9th. I have been dreading thinking back on this day.

These are SO HARD for me to look at. I just bawl like a baby. i'm SO GLAD its over with.

Doctors, doctors, doctors...........

                                             As you could probably assume this post is about doctors and paxtons health. First i will start with pax turning two. I get major anxiety now every time i have to take him to his doctors appointments, and at his 2 year appointment i had a knot in my stomach and i new it wasn't good. He still hasn't gained weight since his heart surgery almost a year ago, she was very concerned about that, and we are working on it. But if you ask me its not a problem he looks totally fine to me, he is not a big eater like most boys, he eats just enough and i know its a 2 year old thing, they get picky.
The other concern she has with him which i keep putting off, is his speech. He doesn't talk, and honestly i wasn't very worried about it, me and greg are quite people and i just thought he was a quite boy, but it is a little strange in how he talks, he doesn't say words, he mumbles everything, he doesn't open is mouth at all when he talks he uses the back of his throat. If you ask me how many words he says, its maybe 4 he doesn't say words. but he is very smart and he has his ways of telling you what he needs. no matter how much i tried convincing his pediatrician it wasn't a concern she wasn't buying it and told me he needs speech therapy. Once again i left crying feeling awful about my mothering skills, i know to some of you its not a big deal, but when your child keeps having one health problem after another its gets very tiring and costly.
So fast forward to march and things got worse, he got very sick one night and spiked a very high fever and his breathing was very strange. We got him into his pediatrician that night and she was very worried about him, they tried 2 different steroids and a deep suctioning but his breathing was very labored, so off to primary children' s hospital we go. luckily by the time we arrived his oxygen had stabilized and he wasn't in critical need of service. They tested him for RSV and it was positive which the entire time i new it was, because he has had it before. But he was still very very sick, they didn't want to admit him because they felt he would do better at home, so we left with a nebulizer and some albudrol to do breathing treatments at home. I honestly felt really good about this, even though his breathing was a little strange, he still was trying to suck on his damn binki so to me it wasn't too alarming. He was pretty sick for about 2 weeks and he needed the breathing treatments 2 a day for a while, it was pure hell, he had a really hard time sleeping, and the breathing treatments would get him all wild because it would make his heart race, so it was hard giving him those at night before bed because he would start running laps around the house lol.
But of course the doctors were concerned about it and wants us to go see another doctor about him possibly having asthma, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! another freakin doctor for him to see aaahhhhh!!!!!! i know i know they are worried about him but sometimes i wonder if this is all necessary, i mean he did just have heart surgery so his upper respiratory is going to be weakened by that, i don't know i always thought asthma was a concern all year long, not just when he gets sick once a year in march. anyways we still are deciding what to do about that, it takes months to get into the doctor we want to go to so we are kinda waiting it out for now.
oh but don't you worry we have plenty of other doctors appointments to go to in the mean time, when the speech therapist finally came out to start doing speech therapy a nurse came with her to check his hearing and of course his left ear failed so now we have to go and get some hearing tests done to see how his hearing is. I had one major break down after that appointment now all i can think about is something is wrong with his hearing uuugggghhhh its never ending people. This poor kid has so many health problems its giving me major anxiety and this momma has not been sleeping. I was so naive and thought getting through his heart surgery was the only health problem we were ever going to have with him. WRONGO its just so odd to me that paisley is perfectly healthy she has never been to a hospital for anything. and then BAM we have pax and hes full of it, i dont know if its a boy thing, or this kid just has really really bad luck. but i am ready for him to be a happy healthy 2 year old boy. so that's been our life lately, im so looking forward to st george over spring break to ease my mind and release some major built up stress.

Disneyland Day 2

Day 2 of Disneyland was spent in California adventure. The fist thing we did was get a fast pass to the cars ride, and boy am i glad we did, the wait for the ride was over 2 hours if you didn't get a fast pass. YIKES!!! The first ride we did was the Ariel ride and of course paisley LOVED it and went on it a few times lol me and greg went on California screamin and i was SO sick after, it took me all day to recover from that roller coaster, but it was still fun!!! We went then went into bugs land while the guys went and did more roller coaster rides. I dont know how i dont have one single picture of us in bugs land. Pax was asleep in his stroller for all of bugs land, which was 2 hours. We also went to the Disney show which was all the Disney junior shows, the kids loved that. and paisley went on monsters inc. with grandma and grandpa.

 I would have to say though are ultimate favorite place and my favorite thing now at Disneyland is CARS LAND!!!!! You guys, i was squealing and screaming the entire time we were in there, i did NOT want to leave. They literally built the entire cars land, it is straight from the movie people i seriously could have cried it made me so happy lol i LOVE the cars movie, like more then my kids so i was WAY more excited then they were. And the characters from the movie are legit, they drive around and talk and you get your pictures taken with them, its AMAZING. We ate at flos cafe which was adorable. I got a hoodie from cars land that i LOVE!!! it was pretty crowded and now i can see why because it is so amazing. and we saved the best for last and went on the cars ride and luckily paisley was barley tall enough to go on it, and it is SO FUN!!! me and greg wanted to go on it again, but we weren't going to stand in line for 2 hours lol i seriously did not want to leave, i was taking it all in, i want to go back to Disneyland just for that.

i didn't want to post a million pictures so i did a few, they are all kinda mixed up,between cars land and California adventure.
