Last week of summer

I can't believe that our summer is coming to an end! It went way way too fast. Our September has filled up quite fast. More on that later.

First order of business is a Rylee update. On Tuesday, we took Rylee in to see Candy Temperly and ended up with a half liter of oxygen to run continuously. It helped Rylee out tremendously. She didn't like it at first but got used to it and actually slept better.

Wednesday, we went in and seen Dr. C. He explained that there is a new H1N1 vaccine that is coming out in October. Unfortunately for Rylee, she isn't eligible for it. However, due to her prematurity and the severity of her health, Kris, Troy and I are eligible. She is too little and too young for it. Dr C said that the H1N1 isn't just a nasty flu, it's a fatal flu and even more so for little Rylee because she doesn't have an immune system to fight it off. He also had us take the oxygen off and said we only need to use it when needed. AWESOME! Right before he was going to leave the room, Rylee sneezed a bunch of gunk. He took notice of this and it looked like a light bulb went off in his head. It's never good when the doctor says, "OH NO!" He ran out and grabbed a swab. He swabbed her to be tested for RSV. It's not the season for RSV and the Synagis isn't available until November. Therefore, RSV wasn't really an option. However, Dr. C said he had to put a local child in the hospital on Monday with RSV. Thankfully, we found out on Thursday that the test was negative!!

Friday, we went in to see Candy again because Dr. C was out of the office (he pulled her in the room on Wednesday to listen and look). She still isn't really happy with the way Rylee looked. We have to see Dr. C again on Tuesday for yet another check up. This visit brought our total to 4 visits in 5 days. UGH!

Saturday, a high school/college friend of mine got married. We had a great time visiting with most of my best friends. Troy spent the afternoon with Grandma Klauer. We took Rylee with us. Kris ran Rylee to Grandma and Grandpa Klauer's after we ate dinner because Grandpa Klauer would be off work. We didn't think it would be fair to stick both kids with Grandma by herself and with Rylee not feeling 100%, we thought it would be better if she came with us.

Here are a few other pictures I uploaded that are so super cute!

Gotta love those eyelashes!

Like I said, we are filling up on the weekends. This upcoming weekend, we have major grocery shopping plans. I've been working on my meal plan for 5 weeks. We're hoping to do all the grocery shopping for the 5 weeks. The plan right now is: I have to work until noon on Saturday and then we're going to go to 5 pm church instead of Sunday morning. Sunday, we're going to Madison to take Troy and Rylee to the Henry Villa zoo. Then we're going to hit Woodman's and Babies R Us since we'll be up there. We may have to stop closer to home to finish the rest of our 5 week grocery shopping.

The following weekend is Labor day weekend! I am going shopping with my sisters! I am so super excited I can hardly stand it. It's a mommy only no kids included trip! While I am gone, Kris and the kids are going up to Madison to help his brother's family by doing some drywalling in their basement. His brother is gone until the end of September for some Military school training something or other so this was a way to help them out before their Baby Adam arrives in mid-October.

The 2nd weekend in September is a doozy too. I was invited to a Dove chocolate tasting party by my sister-in-law Katrina. If you know me, you know that Dove chocolate is another food group in my diet! I absolutely positively love love love Dove milk chocolate. We're going to go up to their house on Saturday afternoon and then hit up the Melting Pot for a little fondue for supper that night. Then on Sunday, Rylee is being baptized and we're having our gigantic party!

The 3rd weekend in September is Kris's mom's side of the family family reunion.

The fourth weekend is still open!

Hopefully you all had a wonderful weekend and have many more wonderful ones to come!
