Updates. . .

Since my last post things have continued to be a bit crazy. Thanks for all the prayers though. The long and short of things is that BJ recovered fairly well from his RSV. We were able to travel with relatively few problems to Omaha (Thanks mom and dad!) and then to Creston to celebrate a great man's life! It was hard for us to say goodbye to such a wonderful man, but we also knew and were at peace that God was ready to have him home. He made a huge impact on Brandon's life, and we are forever grateful for that influence on his life. Since that chaos, things were a *little* slower here, we had wonderful friends and family who have continued to help watch BJ while his sitter is out on maternity leave (Thanks Maria and Jenna!), but hopefully we will be returning to "normal" scheduled life later this week or next. His potty training is hit or miss, he has done really great with us at home, with minimal accidents, but still somewhat struggles at others' houses. We're hoping that once he gets back to a routine this will improve. We had a great weekend with our friend Liz and her son Brady last weekend with a trip to the zoo and plenty of girl time! Now that things are supposed to get back to normal, Brandon spent the last 3 days lying on the couch, diagnosed with influenza A. Unfortunately, this was one of those years where the flu mutated more than the CDC was able to predict and the flu shot hasn't covered it. So bummer. My sweet man is feeling terrible, but with BJ's baseline asthma and issues he is high risk- so he gets prophylaxis against the flu. AND since I'm 15 weeks pregnant with number 2 (which I think shouldn't be news to anyone even though it hasn't been mentioned on the blog, if so, we are really excited), I'm high risk, so we bought out Target's Tamiflu supply. So we are praying that March will be a "regular" "normal" month after our crazy February! And BTW, I'm sure I'll get on baby bump pics soon, like I mention, it has been a crazy month!
