Knox's Tubes...

So dang cute in his hospital gown and pants...

Knox got tubes put in his ears today. We have been battling ear infections now for about 3 months and he has had fluid on his ears for who knows how long. So on monday he had another infection so we called the ENT and we went ahead and scheduled tubes for today. The infection was in his right ear and he has had fluid on his left for sometime and his eardrum actually ruptured yesterday and relieved that pressure, but in doing the tubes this morning the doctor said that the drainage had glued the eardrum closed again and it had already begun accumulating more fluid. So thank goodness for modern medicine :) He did great. I wasn't worried about the procedure itself, seeing as how it isn't very invasive and is very quick, but having him put under was a little nerve racking. He was a champ though, in pain when he woke up, but feeling like a normal 2 year old who could actually hear out of both ears today.

Mothers Day...

Happy Mothers Day to all of you ! Even if you don't have children yet. Motherhood has been such a growing experience for me. I have learned things through being a mother that could not have learned any other way. I love how having sweet babies that they make me strive to do better and be better, even in dealing with the trials that come with being a parent. They truly make me happy and bless my life everyday ! I love you Presley, Knox, and baby Maryn ( who is still in my tummy :)
This years mothers day celebration was in full tilt at the Fallowfield household starting at 1:40am. Knox woke up, probably with a night terror, screaming bloody murder that there were bugs in his room. He was freaking out and scared to death of his crib. I got him out and laid him with me, but he doesn't know how to sleep with us so he was everywhere. Finally at 2:30am he woke his sister up and she was bright eyed. They played in the living room Knox with his new tractor (thanks lauren) and Presley with her new plastic scissors cutting paper until 4am. I was wiped out so I got the glass bottle that has been put away for a week and put chocolate milk and gave it to Knox and put him back in bed. I know, no bottle in a week ! But I was desperate. Thank goodness he hasn't asked for one all day and took a sippy like a pro ! When we got home from church Presley picke a bouquet of flowers for me. That is the picture above. I loved it ! Nothing like flowers from a 4 year old. Happy Mothers Day.

Lately...

The kids and I have been on our own for the last week. Bry has started work in Nashville and we have been here adjusting to our new schedule. We will be goinng to visit him soon. It is amazing how demanding 2 little bodies can be when there is only one person to cater to their every demand. Bry has been a super dad and always very helpful and that is even more evident with his helping being gone. Knox is doing well and growing so fast. We went to the ENT this week to have his ears checked and after 2 1/2 months of and ear infection and a ton of antibiotics he still has enough fluid on his left ear that the Audiologist said he woul fail a hearing test on that side. I was glad the Dr. wasn't too anxious to push for tubes, but we are going back in in 3 weeks for a follow up and if he still has fluid or another infection before then we are getting tubes. The other night he was cryig in his bed and I went in and he said "I want daddy". Both the kiddos are missing their daddy and manifest it in different ways. Presley has been super easy to deal with this past week. We have also started 123 magic, thank you tara and Leah for the book., The only really hard part has been me "shutting up" ! Ugh I talk way to much when dealing with her and paying attention to that has helped me keep my cool with her. well here are a few pics of what we have been up to lately.
Presley had a Princess Tea party today but by the time I got the camera out she had already taken her tinkerbell dress off.


Her friends Avonlea and paige
Knox wouldn't take a nap so here he is crashing the party...
This was after Bry left and they were having so much fun playing mom and baby...
