Doctors, Doctors, and more Doctors

This last month has been CRAZY for the Roberts family. We have spent the majority of our time in the Dr.'s office. It all started when I found out I was pregnant. My Dr. is a great Dr. very thorough. Recently he found some lumps in my breast, so just to be sure I had to see a specialist to make sure all is well....thank goodness all is well, but what a worry it was. Now we are working on my heart. Apparently my heart beats a extra beat. I started feeling it after I had Abbi, but it went away until I found out I was prego. I've seen the cardiologist and he believes all is well. They will do a ultra sound of my heart to make sure, but he sees no need to worry. Then this week we heard the babies heart beat again. What a reward that was after all the worry we have had. During all this we ALL got a bad cold. Apparently Warner had an allergic reaction to the virus and this is what he looked like. Poor little guy had hives EVERY WHERE. At one point the only white you could see were the whites of his eyes. He called them his itchies and would ask me to take them off. It broke my heart. Then just as we thought we were on the mend......Abbi gets ROTAVIRUS. What the heck. Why do my kids get the rotavirus? Warner had it and it was a horrible experience for us. It last well over three months and he was hospitalized at Primary's. We are hoping she is on the downhill side as her diarrhea has tapered off today and she hasn't thrown up once!!!

So if you have wondered where we have been???????? The Doctors! All in all we are grateful that nothing has ended up being to serious and we are all on the mend.

Just a note.....he looks pretty good in the picture.

Momma's little helper

Where ever mom is Abbi will follow. She LOVES the minute the dishwasher opens. She immediately makes a run for it and this is where you'll find her. Right now her favorite toy is the cupboard, it's so much fun to pull all the bowls out of the cupboard. I wish I could find joy like she does in the dishwasher. Hopefully this is a good sign for our future!!

Picnic time!

On Christmas eve we were looking through a room at my parents house and came across this original Charlie Brown lunch box. My sisters and I were fighting over whose it was. I just KNEW it was mine, as they knew it was theirs. When we opened it it had MY name inside. YEAH!! And the mug that goes with it. Warner fell in love with my childhood lunch box. He's been dying to have a picnic with it. So why not today? He got his blanket all set up and I turned on a movie. He had his lunch delivered to him. You can see he was proud as punch to open it.
We are only in the beginning of January and running out of things to do. I'm sure there will be plenty more picnics to come!

Snowmobiling

The day after Christmas the entire Robert's family packed the family up and headed to Grandma and Grandpa Roberts cabin on snowmobiles. Abbi and I chose to sit this one out since she had been sick. I loved this picture of Warner and his grandpa. I picture Ryan doing this with our grand kids someday. The Roberts grew up snowmobiling and have so many fond memories of it. As always they all had a good time. Ryan said it was so cold that when he would take his gloves off to defrost his helmet his gloves were completely frozen when he went to put them back on. Guess I'm glad that Abbi and I didn't go.

Warner's Birthday party

Warner was so excited about his Birthday cake he even stepped in it. He wanted a Nemo cake and this is what I came up with, a cake from Costco. He was proud of it and called it his Nemo cake.

Awaiting for his surprise from mom and dad.

Tada....it's the spiderman bike he's been riding around Wal Mart for the last three months. If you notice he didn't notice the bike sitting in front of his face at first.

Here's Warner with his new 3+ size helmet. For most three year old this helmet would work, but for Warner it didn't quite do the job. His head has always been off the charts, but we figured he had grown into it by now. We had to go back and by a helmet for a 8 year old.

Christmas Joy

In a nut shell Christmas was great as always. This is the first year since my mom passed away that my sisters and their families all spent Christmas Eve and morning at my parents house. I'm not sure why we haven't been doing it, but I'm glad we did it this year. It makes me remember all my wonderful years as a child. We all got what we wanted for Christmas and then some. Most importantly we were able to reflect on the birth of our Savior during the season. What a wonderful time of year it is. Here are pictures of the new pj's, Christmas morning, Landon's letter to Santa asking for forgiveness because we didn't have cookies only graham crackers, and a bunch of Wii playing. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Happy Birthday Warner Bug!

It's hard for me to believe that three years have flown by. Today is Warner's third birthday. I remember back to the day I was pregnant with him, and the anticipation for his arrival. I didn't care how close it was to Christmas I was ready for this baby to come. We went to the hospital on the 27th to get started. I was beginning to have contractions without getting started. I finally was able to get my epidural around 2 or 3 in the morning. About a hour later the Dr. came in to let me know that this baby was in danger and at that point they needed to get him out. His heart rate would go down with the contractions and not come back up. Once we agreed to the c-section the room turned into total madness. Dr.'s and nurses running around. I was completely fine until they all started running and then I got worried. Of course this wasn't the way I had planned child birth. Needless to say they got him out safe and sound. The cord had been wrapped around his neck. We are so grateful for Warner and ALL his ENERGY! He is a blessing to our home and we love you so much!!!
