Sickness be gone!

This week has been nothing short of a nightmare! It started with Ace having this nagging sickness that comes and goes, but is TOTALLY unwelcome! While we were at the Dr, she mentioned that we must be on the 3 week schedule, since we have been there every 3 weeks the last 9 weeks! What??? This is absurd! Somethings got give. So as we are fighting his crud, G starts in. She is never sick and I mean never! The child has literally had one bad bout of sickness in her whole 3.5 precious years of life. This time it really got the precious baby down. She missed school on Wednesday and we missed the Y all week. That really got us down. I say "Us" because she loves her friends there and Ace loves Megan, the girl that takes care of them. She is the best! I use that as my outlet, and I didn't get that this week. As a matter of fact, I had no outlet! We were stuck in the house all week. To catch a break, we got out and drove around because this mama was going stir crazy! Then Thursday morning Luke said he was going in to the Dr because of a nagging stomach pain that wouldn't go away. At first we thought it was appendicitis, but the cat scans came back showing something else. We spent Thursday evening in the ER trying to see what was going on. Gosh I hate being in that area, as it reminds me of the darn lung collapse I endured:/ We were there for around 2.5 hours, mostly waiting on Dr.'s and their thoughts on the this mystery. Friday morning he had to go into the hospital to do a cat scan with a barium drink test. He said it was the most disgusting chalky drink ever! G had to drink this when she was 3 months old and I remember forcing it down the poor babies throat. I am sure the picture of Luke choking it down was about the same as 3 month old G, maybe worse:/ Love him like crazy, but he is a little bit of a baby when it comes to illnesses. Ha! He knows I think this so it is okay to say:) After that and some blood tests, which he also hates, they came to the conclusion of calling this weird problem an infection in his small intestine. He is on antibiotic so we shall see if this clears it up. If not, God help us all!
Needless to say I am very ready to get back to our life on a schedule! I have also learned that health is something to never take for granted! Also this week I plan to find my sanity again, as last week it was thrown out the window. :)

At the Dr again, but at least he is happy!

The Sunday before the sickness went down! Beauty and The Beast 3D. I wore my glasses so I had to place the 3D ones over the top...very weird feeling.

Explains how we were feeling that day, a little wonky

Had to pay a few bills so G brought her throw up bowl, gross I know but not as bad as having puke all over the van!

Pintrest curls! Party girl even when she is sick

After! Beautiful!

Describes how she was feeling all week. She snapped this of herself...

Sleeping with a pretzel bite in his mouth!

Kids say the darndest things!

This post is dedicated to the silly, off the wall things my beans say:)
  The other day as we were leaving the Y, G looked out the car window and looked at Jenny, the homeless girl, and declared, "Hey mom Jenny got some new shiny running shoes!"....They were rather shiny looking:)
    There has been some news of this man creeping around our neighborhood and since I told the story to a few people, G has overheard some of it. She said "Why don't that guy just go back home?!?" I agree G, he should just go home.
   We were walking through Wal-mart the other day and my shoes were making a weird squeak noise. Since G wasn't aware of where it came from, she said, rather loudly, "Mom you sure do have a lot of gas today!" I quickly corrected her and said "Actually it is my shoes, see" and quickly showed her the noise.  The man walking by us just smirked as he passed us.
   Ace is still learning to talk, but the things he says are super sweet. He recently learned how to say "Baby" from no other than Justin Bieber. How may you ask, well since we listen to the Bieberster in the car, ALL THE TIME, he hears it a lot and just started saying "Bee Bee".  When they are playing in Elmo's Kitchen, he stand behind the counter and very excitedly says, "Hiyeeee". He always smiles so big after he says it. Very cute:)
  This past week Luke has been gone in Las Vegas with some buddies, so I have had been playing Mom and Dad! It has gone very well, but we are happy to have Daddy back.
   Here are some pictures that I missed last time, so it is picture overload!!

Celebrating with Jesus' birthday cake! G blew out the candle and asked "Why isn't Jesus going to come eat any of his birthday cake?"

What a way to ring in the New Year..hugging a toilet:/ No not what you are thinking, Luke was sick and I mean sick and I was just sick. I had to call Maci at 7:30 am to come rescue us. It is rather impossible to take care of a super active 3 year old and a whiny, gotta eat when I get out of bed or I will stand in my crib and yell Mama until you come get me, 1 year old. Thankfully she was over in 10 and helped me get them ready and took them for the morning. Thank God for a wonderful, loyal family. After 12ish I started feeling a little better, more than I can say for my other half. I called and had Maci bring the beans back home for naptime. G and I watched Strawberry Shortcake and napped. Luke is still on the mend and has taken tomorrow off as well, so hopefully come Tuesday he will back, ready to attack!
   Ace has had a few milestones that I super excited about! On the 26th while we were at John and Katy's, he grabbed my cup and drank through the straw! He has been messing with the straws, but never quite got the hang of it, until now! I was so excited I would clap and give him a high five. So he started sipping just to clap for himself or high five me:)  
   The next one is talking in a sentence, well rather short sentence, but none the less a sentence! We were at Nana and Papa's on Wednesday the 27th and I said "Tell Nana bye-bye". So he looked at her and said "Buh-bye Na Na" just like that! Perfection!   The next day as Luke was leaving for work, he said "Buh bye Da da"! What a little sweetie and of course he smiled with proudness!
   G on the other hand has become a little lady before my eyes. I have always known she is a talker, but this week she has shown me she likes to have conversation, at all times.  As we were sitting down for lunch one day, we were eating in silence and she looks at me and says, "So...what do you want to be for Christmas next year?". Then as we were driving home from running errands, again in silence, she says,"So Mommy, what kind of music did you listen to while you were running at the Y?". She is so precious and yet never fails to make me laugh or smile:)
  We got the pleasure of celebrating Dash's 1st birthday a little early! He had a super cute Gnome themed birthday. Matt and B did a wonderful job of putting it together. Happy 1st Dasher! We love you lots little guy!
   We have had our fair share of sickness in the Aichele home lately. Ace woke up sick on Friday morning. The Dr told us it was probably a stomach flu and thankfully it was just a 24 hour thing, but his appetite is still not back. Then of course Luke and I got a touch of it. (Him more a full blown touch and me just a little light touch). We are praying that G bean doesn't get anything. She goes back to school on Wednesday and very excited to get back to seeing her friends and teachers. Like I have said before, she is a routine oriented gal, just like me:)
   So here is 2012 being a healthy and equally happy year!
