Colton Blake Fitzgerald

We welcomed another beautiful boy into our lives!  Colton Blake Fitzgerald weighing in at 7lbs and 10oz, 19 inches long and born at 1:16pm.  Being induced at 39 weeks was absolutely fabulous!!  Walked in showered and ready to Edwards Hospital in Naperville at 7:00am and Pit and IV started at 9:30am!  Baby by 1:16pm! Nurses were great and epidural worked fabulously.  Pushed 3 times and we a family of 4.  It was a great day!

Tubes and Adenoids

On April 18, 2014, also Good Friday, we headed to Edwards Hospital to get tubes put back in his ears and then took out his adenoids.

GiGi and Papa with with us and waited with mommy in the waiting room while Daddy held me when I woke up.  I had 2 orange popsicles and then got to go home.  I was really brave and did great! The doctor was surprised that I had 2 ear infections that day and I was so happy!

Strep Throat

Pick up our first strep throat bug today :(  Picked Easton up from Leslie's and drove straight to urgent care only to find out we had to wait for an hour with a 102 temp.  Needless to say the wait was BRUTAL but he did great holding on to his KK and laying on my prego bump in those germ infested chairs.  It's the day before spring break starts so it looks like ours is going to start earlier than planned.

In less than 2 minutes the strep test came back positive.  Yikes.  Antibiotics for the next 10 days of break.  Not a good way to start our break!

Big Boy Bed

Well we have started the transition to our new big boy bed.  Moving out of the crib has been more difficult that Scott and I would have liked.  Easton went from sleeping from 7:30pm-7:30am every day to waking up a few times a night and knocking on his door..."Mom, open the do-or"

We have also started potty training during this time...MISTAKE!  Poor little guy has a lot going on right now and seems a little overwhelmed.  Little does he know (or understand) that in about 2 months he is going to be sharing mom with a new baby brother.  Lets hope this transition goes a little better...lol!

We have however had a few good nights of sleeping but the climbing out of bed still occasionally continues.
