Its been awhile

Well I have five seconds so I thought Id do a little update....

Lets see last we talked I had had Chase...but thats about as far as Ive gotten.

Well hes been my hardest baby yet. Whenever he was awake he was crying. Never took a binki so Id always be stuffing bottles in his mouth to hope for a little peace. We took him to the doc who sent us to the hospital...heres a copy and paste from the boards cause I dont feel like typing it out again

Ok so we went this morning for the testing for Chase. Dropped Brinley and Ty off at SIL's. Spend 1 hour in the waiting room. Finally get back to the x-ray room. They tell me to undress him all the way..even diaper. They put the enema up his butt and tape it in there. He did not like that! Who would!? Doc comes in and Scott and I go behind the glass with him while hes doing the x-ray and the tech lady stays up with Chase and pushes Barium (white chalky wet stuff) up his butt. Oh he did not like that!! Poor thing. We watch on the screen as it goes through his intestine. Scott keeps asking the doc..."ok so where does the large intestine and the small intestine meet?" because thats where this thing happens. He shows us on the x-ray but he still hadnt made it all the way up there with the barium yet. Chase pushes all of the stuff out everywhere so then the tech has to clean him up and start all over. Barium was everywhere. Ok so we start again...see the barium go about half way up the intestine but still not to that point. And the doc is like..ok everything is looking good. (Both Scott and I are thinking...how in the heck do you know? YOu arent even up to that point yet) So hes acting like hes done with the test. Goes out to the baby. Nurse is taking out the enema... The doc said...well we dont see any bleeding polups. Ok thats nice and all, but thats not what we are here for. Scott asks if they checked for the intususeption. He says No, I didnt go up that far. We werent checking for that. Thats not in the doctors orders. Scott tells him that thats the whole reason we are here. Scott tells him to call the doc. The guy says that the tech lady will do that... and basically he was done with what he was supposed to do. Sooooooooooo we get Chase all cleaned up...that stuff dries like cement. Its all over him. In his hair, everywhere. Cause he kept trying to push it out all over the table. So the tech lady calls the doc and he says yes...they are supposed to be looking for an intususeption. Tells her I guess to schedule and U/S. So then she calls the US place and they say oh we are so busy today ask them if they can schedule it for another day. She asks us...Im annoyed...I say well if thats what we have to do...what else can we do? Scott tells her that that would be fine if this wasnt a big deal...but its kinda a big deal here...She gets back on the phone with them and comes back and tells us...well they will try and squeeze you in at 2. But you might end up waiting for awhile in the waiting room since they are soooooooo busy. I dont care. I just want to get this taken care of. So we tell them we will be back at two. Go pick up Ty at SIL's. Leave Brinley there to play. Go back up to MIL/FIL's where Scott works and he works for another hour. Leave Ty there...go back down the hospital. We get down to the waiting room. Theres one other lady there having an MRI. But no one for U/S... I guess thats what they call busy. So we get back to the U/S room and the tech tells us that Doc...aww crap...starts with a W... will be the doc that helps us....ends up being the same doc that did the enema thing. Which actually is a good thing since he knows why we are there now. And we dont have to re-explain anything. So the tech does the one US...Chase is screaming through the whole entire thing. Freaking out, turning purple. He hated it. Wiggeling so much that the tech couldnt really get good pics. But hes trying. Scott goes out to the car and gets him a bottle. I thought for sure they were going to say that he couldnt eat during the U/S. But the guy said to get him fed and see if that calmed him down and the doc would be right in. The doc comes in while Im feeding him and has me hold him while hes doing the U/S. He's looking...talking to the tech guy some language I dont know (medical language). I didnt know what the crap he was saying. But it didnt sound good. I kept looking at Scott. Mouthing "Do you know what they are saying?" He doesnt. Then the doc says something about how he sees something but cant make it look like a donut and thats what its supposed to look like. Hes trying to tell the tech what intususeption looks like. Says "Usually when its intususeption you put the scope down right where it should be and its right there" (hes doing this as hes saying it..) and bam...there it is. A donut. So... he does have it. But he has a case called Transient Intususeption. Where its not there all the time. It comes and it goes. And its not right where the small intestine meets the large (which is the bad kind) its small intestine to small intestine... like a telescope when you close it. Does that make sense? So it comes and it goes and it hurts. But its not life threatening. HE says that something is irritating it. But he doesnt know what (could be infection or the formula we are using ... which it could be but Ive tried two kinds cause I thought it might be a sensitivity to that) Says that we will have to follow up with our doctor to see what to do...his job was just to find it. . But says its good cause if it was the other kind they would have admitted us to the hospital right there. So anyway, I hope this makes sense. Im so tired I cant even think. ITs been a long day!

Ok so after that he still wasnt better. The doc gave me some drops for colic and those worked sometimes but not enuff to were I felt like my sanity was back.

And then he turned three months...

AND BAM!!! PERFECT BABY!!! So cute, so fat, and he just sits there patiently for us most of the time unless hes hungry or poopy. I always loved the kid but now I really do like him!!!

Update on the other kids...

Ty is FINALLY walking. He started walking at 17 months. GOOD GRIEF!! And now hes everywhere and starting to get into his terrible twos. Hes such a turd. Hes pretty good with Chase but he does like to poke him and hug (lay on) him. Which Chase doesnt like at all. Yesterday he poked his finger all the way into his eye TWO TIMES and Chase just sat there like this is a normal thing to get your eye poked out.

Brinley is very excited for school to start. She asks me all the time when we are going to go get school clothes. She knows how to ride her bike (without training wheels) like a mad woman. She IS going to kill herself on it. I just know it. Im going to be sad when she goes to school. Shes my little buddy.

Jentry got a new bike and is totally in love with it. Its all she wants to do. She had to save up Fifty of her own dollars and then we paid the rest . Well she DID IT after a few months and got to go pick out a sky blue bike. She is such a big help and I think Id go crazy without her. I look at her now and I get little glimpses of her being a teenager. It scares me but it also excites me. Im sad that she is growing up so quickly but she is such a good kid and I just love her to death.

Scott and I are doing great! We celebrated our TEN year anniversary in May. Wow. I cant believe its been that long but then again I cant remember life without him! I love that boy.

Well thats us for now.
