A random update :)

While most of you are well aware of the happenings in the Ley home, I thought I would share just a little update as to what has been going on lately for those I don't get to talk to often!

For the past few weeks, Jonathan has had a cough that I attributed to his asthma and a cold. By Thursday I decided to take him in to see the doctor just to make sure everything was okay. Poor baby.....he had a double ear infection and inflammation in his lungs from all the coughing and asthma. It is times like these that I am so thankful for our pediatrican! She hooked Jonathan up with some good medicine (my boy LOVES himself some Amoxicillian!!) and by the next day, the cough was better and the pain he seemed to be in Thursday night was easing up. I seriously love her. If you need a good recommendation for a Pedi, please call me!

I haven't mentioned much about Baby Ley #2. I guess this is just the curse of the second baby. Jonathan takes up so much of my time and energy, that I often just forget to update about his little brother! Things are going pretty well and I am now 27 weeks pregnant. I go on Wednesday to have my gestational diabetes test and I am praying all goes smoothly! I am still having lots of contractions, but since I recognize them this time around, I am not as concerned. I just drink a butt-load of water and try to rest when possible. Unfortunately, that is super hard with a toddler and a husband still on crutches (part of the time!) But I am doing my best. Baby Ley moves a lot (mostly at night) and seems to enjoy kicking Jonathan when he is cuddling with me before bed. I sure hope this isn't a sign of things to come! I will admit that being pregnant the second time around is super different. I love that I am not nearly as nervous as I was with Jonathan. I can enjoy all those little kicks and punches without counting them all the time to make sure I have 10 within the given 2 hour period. I do not however, love the extra weight I have gained or the fact that I am so exhausted all the time I can barely stay awake past 8:30 each night. I just want to sleep for a LONG time and I know, believe me I know, it will be a long time before I get to sleep again.

Zack is doing really well with his recovery from knee surgery. He went to the doctor last week and was given the green light to drop the crutches when he is home and only use them for extended walking trips. This weekend we were able to go to Central Market and walk around, which is one of our favorite family errands! It took him a little while to make it through the store, but he did it :)

So that is about it. Other than being super busy and extremely tired, we are doing great! Oh and as an added bonus, I discovered last week that Freebirds is opening literally 5 minutes from my house in just a few weeks. Now I know there are plenty of Freebirds haters out there and a few crazies who say Chipotle is better (that is pure insanity to me) but I for one, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Freebirds and I can hardly contain my excitement. Let's all pray that my gestational diabities test comes back clean because if they try to tell me I can't eat it.....oh man.
