The best of times, the worst of times

These past few weeks have been some of the best in my life. Courtney is such a blessing and we love her very much already.

But the past few weeks have also been some of the worst of my life.

I was lucky enough to be among the mass amounts of people to get the H1N1 virus. I contracted it 2 weeks before Courtney was due. I have never felt so miserable in all my life. But I got through it without any complications (or so I thought).

Next C-section. It all went great except for the fact that I still had this lingering cough from the H1N1 flu and boy does it hurt when you cough with stitches. Thank heaven for pain medicine.

Then just when all seems like it is going great I develop a terrible pain in my side and shoulder. Well now comes the complications. I have pneumonia. I did not know that pneumonia was so miserable. Pain like I have never felt before!! Absolute exhaustion. Shorness of breath. It goes on. Thanks heaven again for pain medicine.

Thank heaven for my family. My mother and Daves mother have come to the rescue. I could not have done it without them. I love you ladies!!! Thanks to Dave sister Jenny for being willing to watch the kids while i have spent everyday at the doctor for one thing or another. My wonderful boy Colton has not really recovered completely from the H1N1 flu yet either. We have been to the doctor many times to try and get him healthy as well. Lets cross our fingers it is only better days from hear on out.

Thank you everyone for the help you have been. I really appreciate how everyone has pitched in and helped us through this time.

Thank you!!!

Fall Fun

Here are some pictures from halloween and picking out the halloween pumpkin.

Too Cute!!

Colton hated putting this costume on. But once on he was fine.

Colton is such a happy kid. We love him more than words can express.
