It's been a while....

By
     I haven't written a blog post in so long!  Since I started working I've been much busier and my days at home are usually filled with laundry, cooking, cleaning, and having fun with Channing.  Recently I had my first L&D night shift.  And I'm happy to say that I survived!  It was actually really slow. Which made it feel really long.  At about 3am I hit a wall and felt like I was gonna fall asleep on the spot.  But I found that if I get up and do something then I wake up.
     Channing has been really sick.  He's never been this sick before.  On Monday I took him to the doctor and he ended up having a double ear infection, strep throat, and a possible UTI.  It's only Wednesday now and he's so much better after starting on an antibiotic.  I'm grateful for doctors and antibiotics.  And Justin gave him a blessing, what an awesome guy I married!  After Channing was so sick and grumpy it's really nice to see his happy self back. 
     I was planning on writing more but it's almost 11pm and I've only slept 5 hours in the last 40 hours.  Here's pictures to tell you what's new.
He's getting 3 or 4 new molars while battling being sick.  The drool was endless!

Over the weekend while Channing was not feeling good he didn't want to eat.  One night he would only eat a bag of fruit snacks for dinner.  At least he got some "fruit" haha. 
This is the day after he started on antibiotics...and obviously feel much better. 



I love it when he holds my hand.

My reality check

By
Remember how in my last few posts I talked about how we were teaching Channing to put himself back to sleep by letting him cry it out?  Since Channing has been sick for over a week that has all gone down the drain....  The poor kid is so congested all the time.  When we wakes up at night he usually will not take his binky and fall back asleep.  Instead he needs his nose suctioned, which usually requires Justin holding Channing's head still or it's impossible.  And lately he will not go back to sleep at all until he's fed again.  Last night it was every 3 hours.  I don't know if it's because his throat hurts or he just wants to be held.  Whatever the reason, nights have been a little rough around here.  Oh, and his naps during the day have been pretty bad.  Crying a lot before falling asleep and then only sleeping for 20 or 30 minutes.  Motherhood is definitely a 24/7 job.  With no lunch breaks.  And get this!  Channin...

Happy Halloween!

By
I wanted to do a quick Halloween post so I won't ever forget how adorable Channing was.  He was a scarecrow this Halloween.  We used a pair of his overalls and I sewed on a few patches of material and then we stuffed his pockets with straw.  The paint on the nose thing didn't work so well...he rubbed it off the first time around.  Our ward did a trunk-or-treat in the parking lot.  Channing was a little skeptical about it all when we first started.  But he quickly got the hang of walking up to people, grabbing candy, and putting it in his bucket.  Someone gave him a sucker and he immediately had to have it!  At least he's easy to please!  Such a friendly scarecrow...had to say bye to the trick-or-treaters as they left.

Ooooh crap

   Merry Christmas! It's December 12th and beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!  The tree is decorated and we are slowly adding presents underneath it.  What's new with the Hamilton crew? Well let me tell ya.  Justin is starting a new job as St Alphonsus's webmaster next Monday.  Which means I can kiss my daytime freedom goodbye.  Since February Justin has been working at home with a start up company called RealResultsOnline.  So if I had both kids down for a nap I could easily leave the house to go grocery shopping or whatever.  Now I'm heading back to the reality of being a stay at home mom.  Anyways...I'm sure I'll survive.  Because what choice do I have?!  We'll miss you Justin....  Especially Channing.  That kid loves peeking in on Justin during the day and getting in lots of daddy play time.  But we think this new job will give us better opportunities for the future.  So yes, I gotta suck it up!...
