A little of this and a little of that

This post will be a little of everything wrapped in one!

Ill start with an update on baby Marrs # 3

Yesterday I had an OBGYN apt. I was 10 weeks on the dot, so we tried to listen to the babys heartbeat. I was so excited to see if his/her heartbeat was even stronger now, since we have been having concerns. Well after 5 min of trying they were not able to find the heartbeat :(.  You can usually hear the heartbeat 10-12 weeks and since I was right at 10 weeks, she wanted to see me again next week and try again. If nothing still I would be sent right over for another ultrasound to see if the baby has stopped growing :( So we will see what next week will hold. Ill update next Thurs. but in the meantime, prayers for the little guy/girl would be apprecaited again.

Logan is 11 months today!

I can't beleive that a month from today my baby boy will be 1. Where has the time gone? In the beginning it seemed like time would not pass fast enough, with Logan and all his tummy issues and colic, etc. But now Im not ready for a big boy, what happened to my baby. He is getting tubes in a week and half.

Here are some things we likes to do now:

• play patty cake
• take all the legos apart
• loves to eat everything and anything
• tries to put his clothes on himself
• throw balls
• play with cars and say "broom broom"
• loves going to storytime at the lib.
• freaks out over juice boxes or sippys
• wants to do everything Landen does
• still only has 6 teeth but cutting 2 now

 Playing at the Lib. waiting for storytime

 his boo boos from getting blood taken at the hospital

 Mr. Independant

 relaxing by the pool

 Loves his food

 found Landens juice box and had to have it

 chugging some more

 at the memaws pool wearing aleshas shades

Loves his almond milk at bedtime. Hes so funny bc he never really had a bottle ever til 10 months when I stopped breastfeeding, but knows how to drink from sippy but refuses at bedtime, he wants a bottle.

Brotherly love:

 watching mickey mouse in the morning

 They love being with each other

Logan was throwing a fit in the car and nothing would calm him, then all the sudden he stopped and when I looked back this is what I saw! too sweet

Landen:

 Wearing Isaacs "gobbles" in the car

 Loves the pool

Shaving daddys head, really

It could always be worse

It's been a tough almost 11 months but a very busy month forsure. I dont even know where to begin. This month the Marrs household has had 7 different Dr. apts this month alone and already set up for 6 in Aug. Poor Logan has had one issue after another since birth. He was avg. a Dr. apt every 2 weeks, we are finally down to about 1-2 a month. Thankfully when Logan was around 5-6 months we found East End Ped. with Dr. Donavon, which they were no longer taking passport patients but took us anyways. They have been so great and I truly recommend to anyone and everyone. A long story short I will just catch you up on what has happened this month.

 First Logan had a really bad reaction out of no where, which caused him to break out all over front and back, inside his ears were beet red, and his eyes and nose puffy and almost looked like his nose got burnt, the craziest sight ever. Took him to the Dr. and they sent him to ER for blood test. A week later the blood test showed he was extremely allergic to eggs, and then cows milk. He had to stay off all dairy and eggs off his allergy meds for a week so he could be seen by a specialist.

When we saw the specialist, I was shocked, they did a test on his back with multiple foods, pollens, dust mites, etc. I was amazed at all the red welps that developed. After 15 min the Dr. came back with a list of things he was allergic to:

tobacco
dust mites
cat
dog
cockroach dust
7 out of 12 diff mold
oak
walnut
hickory
birch
2 other inhaled allergens
cows milk
egg white
egg yoke
fish
oat

The Dr. said it was so rare of his age to be so allergic to so much and that on a scale of 1-10 Logan was a 9. He also had fluid in his left ear and his right was infected. He said that he could and was close to having asthma and an egg allergy was a red flag to respirtory infections. He has to wear a medical braclet and I have to carry a epipy pen. He has to be on 3 different meds everyday and an antibotic right now as well. He was sent to an ENT Dr. again to be checked out. So today we saw ENT (ears, nose, throat) and Logan is getting tubes Aug. 9th.

This has been a very long process, and as much as I have been so stressed for the past 11 months I couldnt even imagine what all Logan is feeling and that he has been the one going through it all, Im just the one that has to deal with it. I just pray he gets some relief soon and as much as I hate all the Dr. apts and the crazy days and nights, its so minor. I am beyond thankful that he doesnt have any serious life threating illness, Praise the Lord! I am always thankful for a family that has been there for us, and has helped out in everyway.

Two is more than enough.....or 3!

2 weeks ago:

Surprised! Shocked! Overwhelmed!

Well I said that I was done with having kids, my family was complete but God laughed at me and said he had other plans.

Marrs baby #3 is a baking

As we soon found out that prevention is never 100% To tell you the truth I was not overwhelmed with joy or excitement when I found out. I was devastated, crying histirically. It was 10 pm and Logan and Landen were still up and fussy, cranky and all I could think about was how am I going to add one more to all this? As I was holding Logan on one side both of us crying he stopped crying and wrapped his little arm around me and Landen came over to me with his arm around me, giving me kisses asking me what was wrong and not to cry and he hoped I feeled better made me reliazed how blessed I truly was. How could I not want more of these precious little angels. I had everything packed for a yard sale, and I was looking forward to no longer having to nurse in 2 months. As much as I thought I had my life planned out, things always change! As we both at first couldnt believe it, I took 4 different test.

After it is all said and done, I am beyond thrilled and I can not wait. I know we are not very far along but we already have names picked out for the most part. My first feeling was that it was another boy! Who needs sleep anyways?

4 weeks

I have been prego from 2007-2012 thats 6 years....WOW




I was laying in Landen's bed resting when Landen came in
Landen: Are you taking a nap Mommy?
Me: Yes I am, I am tired
Landen: Why are you so tired?
Me: Because your baby brother or sister is in my belly, just like Logan was and you
Landen: I never lived in your belly......but I'll come to your baby shower.
Me: Do you want baby brother or sister?
Landen: I'll take a sister I already have a brother.


P.S. Dont watch Dual Survivor when you are preggo and nauseated


Last Friday Update:
I saw the Dr. today. It was very long process, took 2.5 hours but I love my new Dr. and AOG. According to my last period they gave me the due date of Feb. 12, 2012. Which made me right at 8 weeks. When it was time for my exam the Dr. thought that I was measuring small, and since I have only had 2 periods since being pregnant with Logan and they were not yet reg. that I could have ovulated at a different time than we thought and sent me to get an ultrasound. Well the ultrasound showed that I was only 6 weeks instead of the 8 we all thought. We were able to here the heartbeat but it was a very weak and soft one and the lady was concerned and sent me back to see the Dr. The Dr. thought that I could be trying to miscarry and that there was nothing that I could do to either prevent or cause it, so try to enjoy my weekend ( easy to say) and that if I had bleeding or cramping to call and if nothing she would see me next Friday for another ultrasound to see what was going on, if any improvement. So this is where I leave you til Friday. I know the Lord has a plan for our family, and his will, will be done but please keep me and my family in your prayers. This has already been an extremely rough pregnancy, I have been so sick everyday and so tired, hardly functionable which is hard with two little ones already!
