Nixons 1st month

WOW, what an exciting, crazy, scary, fun, emotional, exhausting month. It was so fun to bring Nixon home from the hospital after he was born. The girls absolutely love him to death and are constantly giving him loves and talking in their baby voices to him and wanting to hold him and are so great with him. (yes even Tayte)
I got really sick with a kidney infection for a few days, then Dave had to go out of town for a few days. Then Nixon was home for not even 2 weeks and he spiked a fever of over 103! Yikes, so scary.
So we rush him to the ER where they gave him an IV, a spinal tap along with a bunch of other tests. They conclude that he has a Urinary Tract Infection and since he's so young they have to keep him in the hospital for 7 days to give him an antibiotic through his IV. Oh Boy- the hospital for 7 days with a new born and 3 other kids at home!!
My mom had our girls for the first 3 days then was leaving to go out of town, so Dave called his mom and she flew down to help out. THANK GOODNESS for MOMS!!! What life savers! It was so stressful being in the hospital with Nixon it was SOOO nice not to have to worry about my girls. Thankyou SO much Mom and Sharry!! AND Dave's sister Amanda flew in from Florida to visit and help out. It was so fun having her and adorable Beckahm here for a 1 1/2 weeks.
So we finally got Nixon home all healthy and got to enjoy a few days with Sharry and Amanda and Becks before they had to leave. Nixon loved Grandma and just cuddling and sleeping on her!
So despite the crazy month we are all home healthy, doing great and absolutely loving the new addition to our family. Here's some pics of his first month...

In the hospital.  They had to put a pick line in his head since he had to have an IV for so long:(

1st Day of School!!

First day of school!! First day of full day for Ty going into first day and first day at a big school of half day Kindergarten for Mads!
Tyler didn't get in the same class of any of her good friends so she was a little nervous (a lot nervous actually) about going to school. We got her there and she did not want to be there:( It was really hard for me to leave her when she was sad, but the first week is through and she's doing great!
Madix goes in the afternoon from 12:15- 4:15, so all morning she was SO excited and kept saying she was nervous at all. Me and her went to lunch and got some pizza before I took her to her first day of school. It would've been harder for me if she was nervous but she was just so excited... UNTIL we got into her classroom.... We found her seat and she sat down and all the sudden did NOT want to stay anymore, so again a little hard for me to leave. But Madix makes friends so easy I wasn't as nervous for her and she ended up having a great day.  Now she can't wait to go to school everyday.
