the update #2 AND a forgotten u/s pic :)

baby grebe #3 (#5 if we're being technical) at 28 weeks gestation (two or three weeks ago)....

totally forgot to post this ultrasound picture, proving that yet again, we will have another kenny clone. :) check out the darling little nose! love it.

when i was updating on grayson, i forgot to mention something i wanted documented. in december, actually the week of christmas, he was diagnosed with asthma basically. we had gone into the doc late afternoon, because his cough was so so bad and his breathing just sounded short and weird to me. his o2 level was low, so they did a nebulizer treatment right there in the dr's office, like a rescue neb, and his o2 went back up to normal immediately after the 20 minute treatment. this was a red flag for the dr that it is likely asthma. that, and the fact that it was his third terrible awful cough since november. he would get a runny nose, and it would turn into a nonstop all night long all day long mind numbing cough. so because of that, they were leaning more to the asthma dx. he is now on a preventive nebulizer treatment twice a day (only 7 minutes each thank you LORD!) and he does really well with it. he hasn't coughed since christmas eve when he started it which is a christmas miracle. :) i can put the mask on him and walk away and trust him to MOSTLY hold it on his face and not move while he watches a program, or i will sit and read a book with him. his favorite thing lately though is having a skittle in his mouth while he does it. which of course, we allow. ONE skittle mind you. :) aislyn loves to sit with him and hates it when grayson does his "mask" without her. kinda weird, but it's sweet that she likes to be with him. we have to do this preventive nebulizer through the cold and flu season, so until march 31st. which is perfect and divine since the baby is coming the first week of april and it will be one less thing to do. he is also off of his nighttime antihistamine officially, and weaning off his bottles this week and taking his formula (sort of) in a sippy cup. kids don't really like elemental formula in a sippy cup for good reason, so we have always bought the munchkin sippy "bottles" for him, but i am ALL done with bottles. especially since we will have an actual baby around here in april. we've got a few more milestones for him to pass and then he will be de-baby'd. which is kind of sad. potty training, toddler bed and the paci. which i'm almost dreading breaking the paci habit more than potty training. that kid loves his paci.

ok i'm done.
