The One Where Aiden Rides In An Ambulance

Since around the 15th of Feb Aiden has had a bad cough, and about month and four visits to the doctor later he still wasn't feeling better. So Andy and I talked about it and I would call the after hours number and get him taken to MUSC to be checked out. The after hours nurse told me to hang up the phone and call 911...so I did. The fire department arrived first, and then EMS after evaluating him for a few minutes we were asked where we wanted him taken...MUSC (duh)! I rode in the ambulance with Aiden while Andy drove ahead to MUSC and met us there. On our way he screamed at the lady and at me for giving him a breathing treatment. The master escape artist from the NNICU wanted nothing to do with the mask.
He was tested for RSV, Flu, and Whooping Cough. The RSV and Flu tests came back negative, but we're still waiting on the WC results. Just in case he has it we were given some antibiotics, but unfortunately if he does have it the meds won't help his cough just stop him from being contagious. We also have to have the other three tested if it comes back positive.
I have a lot of questions, but my main one is if it isn't RSV, the Flu, and possibly not whooping cough what is causing him to cough?

Getting So Good At Tummy Time

We've been sick for about two weeks now....maybe or is it three weeks now? I've lost count of the weeks. Everyone has a stuffy nose, and a bit of a cough. Aiden has the worst cough out of everyone, and will start a coughing fit after almost every burp. Poor guy, but he is getting better!

Aunt Martz came back to help Momma out while Daddy and Grandma were out of town. Grandma left, but will be coming back to help out every once in a while. PaPaw & Granny Nell came to meet the babies earlier this week!

We're Six Months Old!!!!

A little of this and that....

We had snow in Charleston and not just a little bit either! Ok maybe to some, but to us it was a lot! Around five inches, and because of it we were without power for about 14 hours. The babies were already sick so we bundled them in fleece jammies, hats, and socks for mittens. It was a fun 14 hours...not really. They are all still sick.





In other news Momma made Staff Sergeant!




Below is a video of Maxwell trying rice cereal for the second time. The first wasn't any better. LOL

Girlie Girls

I dressed Alexis & Carolyn in dresses today because it wasn't cold out, and it isn't like they were going outside anyway. Then I decided I needed to take pictures of them, and they both decided their dresses would look better with spit up. SO I changed their outfits and below are the pictures....






Perhaps I'll take the boys pictures tomorrow. Max was extra fussy today so I decided to leave him alone and not flash him over and over! :)

I was trying to post videos every night, and having a videos of just one baby each night. Like I did for Carolyn last night, but the internet or Blogger do not like my idea. So after 2 hours of trying to upload a 45 second clip I gave up. I thought I should at least do a new post with pictures. These are from tonight just before baths. The costumes are the same ones they wore for Halloween, and fit just a bit better. Actually they fit way better and I'm so excited we kept them :
