Well, October and November have flown by and although I'm not surprised, it's hard to believe that Christmas is only a month away! Last year at Christmas, our whole family was quite sick. I'm hoping that the sickness we encountered in October this year, is all we are dealt this season! Hannah had a cold for about 2 days and on the third evening we noticed she was short of breath. We decided to take her to the hospital and it was a good thing we did! We ended up having to spend 2 nights in the hospital, with Hannah on oxygen and getting a nebulizer every 4 hours. They figured she had bronchialitis and a touch of pneumonia. We took her home and gave her antibiotics for 9 days. The day after we stopped the antibiotics, she woke us up at 4am in the short of breath again. It was back to the hospital where we stayed another night!
We ended up borrowing a nebulizer from a friend so we could give Hannah a mask at home for the following 2 weeks. She is doing much better now. The doctors aren't sure if it was just a bad bout of bronchialitis, if its allergies or if it could be asthma. Really, only time will tell! Since we were in the hospital over Halloween, I decided to dress Hannah up in her costume just for fun :)
She wasn't to sure about it and thought that it looked better on Daddy!
A few weekends ago we headed out to Seattle to spend the weekend there with some friends! Hannah and Carl went straight for the tv in our hotel room!
We took Hannah to the zoo in Seattle where she enjoyed watching the elephants!
I've been to Seattle before but somehow I missed the "Gum Wall" when I was there last! It's basically a wall, where everybody sticks their chewed gum!....Interesting....
And just this past weekend we had a quick visit from Hannah's second cousin Esme. They both enjoy giving hugs right now, so it was pretty cute to see them interact!
After a year and a bit, Carl is still enjoying his job and has taken on a temporary position as the property manager for his company's rental buildings. His bosses would like him to understand all aspects of the company. Although he enjoys the learning he finds this position busy and misses the development side of things. Tomorrow he has his final class at BCIT for the year (yayyy!) but he starts back one night a week again in January (boooo!).
And finally, our big news is that in May of 2014, Hannah is going to be a big sister!
I'm about 15 weeks pregnant and glad to be out of the first trimester - it was tiring! I'm feeling much better now and have more energy lately. This past weekend we put up our Christmas tree and have gotten into the Christmas spirit! Looking forward to some good family times in the month to come!
