Poor little Cason
We were JUST at the ENT last week, and guess who already had another double ear infection?! His last day of school was Thursday and by Saturday morning poor little Cason had a horrible runny nose and a cough. Scott and I are convinced some mom brought their sick child to school on Thursday because she knew it was the last day she would have a break until fall---LOL. He ran a fever Saturday and Sunday so we took him to the doctor on Monday. Yes, our wonderful pediatrician's office is open on holidays---thank goodness. He has a double ear infection/sinus infection and we are on antibiotics once again---the story of our life. I called the ENT this morning and they said we have one more chance before another set of tubes are certain. Our appointment is at the end of July but if there are any more ear infections between now and then----we have to schedule our tube surgery. My guess is we will be getting a second set of tubes before the end of the summer but you never know.

25 Weeks and Finally a Name!
I had my 25 week appointment this week and the baby was doing great. His heart rate was hanging out in the 130's during my office visit. However, I failed the one hour glucose test just like I did with Cason. I am so aggravated by this!!! So now I have to take the 3 hour test on June 7th. Thank goodness that my mom can come watch Cason because I have no idea what I would have done if I would have had to take him to my doctor's office with me for 3 + hours. Since his school is out for summer, he will be coming with me to the rest of my appointments this summer so I can't wait to see how that goes, especially since my doctor informed me that it is time to start coming every 2 weeks now.
I failed the one hour test with Cason and did fine on the 3 hour test so I am praying that I can get the same good news this time. My doctor said she doesn't think I have it, she just thinks my body doesn't tolerate the one hour test very well. So I would appreciate your prayers that the baby and I can stay diabetes free for the duration of the pregnancy----100 days exactly until my due date :)
The good news is that when I go back for my 3 hour test, I get to have a sonogram that day as well. I love any chance I can get to see our little cutie.
In other news, we finally agreed upon a name for our precious little boy! His name is....
Corbin Luke Ray

Last Day of School
Cason had his last day of Mother's Day Out yesterday. I took some pictures of him so I could compare what he looked like on the first day of school (9 months ago). He had a terrific year and terrific teachers---we feel very blessed that he had such loving people taking care of him. They sent him home with a picture book of pictures they had taken all throughout the year. The pictures were precious----and I love that I will always have the pictures to look back on. I tried to scan a couple of the pictures but our scanner is acting up so I will do this later.
Pictures from the first day of school this year...
Pictures from the last day of school...
Cason has been so funny lately about things he doesn't want to do. If he doesn't want something--like for example to take a bath, he will either say, "no okay", or "bye bye bath". I hear things like this all day long bye-bye diaper, bye-bye eat, bye-bye drink, and even bye-bye mommy---ha!

IN-N-OUT
We went back to see Cason's ENT doctor on Monday for a check-up. The doctor had to take Cason's left tube out of his ear because it was already falling out and therefore not working properly. This time was MUCH less dramatic---no tears involved. So now Cason is officially tube free.
Even though Cason's ears are not currently infected, there is still some fluid in his right ear. This fluid was around from about birth until 1 year when he got his tubes and then disappeared when we had the tubes and then reappeared a couple of months ago after his right tube was removed. Cason has had several ear infections this spring which is the cause for this residual fluid. The doctor said he wants to wait until the end of July to see if the fluid clears up on its own. If the fluid does not clear up on its own OR if we have any more ear infections between now and the end of July----we will be booked for a second set of tubes. As a mom, I certainly worry about my child going in to have surgery again, but I am all for another set of tubes if that will clear up the fluid in his ears and help with his ear infections. The last couple of ear infections in his right ear (without his tube) have been very hard on him and I hate to see him so miserable. In addition to the fact that fluid in your ears causes temporary hearing loss (he hears us muffled) and could possibly lead to permanent hearing loss and speech problems. So I am hoping for good news at the end of July but even if there is still fluid and we have to get another set, I am fine with that too.
In other news, we braved the line at In-N-Out burger the other day against our better judgement. Thankfully, we went early and only had to wait about 30-40 minutes in the car (thank goodness for our Elmo DVD). To our surprise, Cason loved his burger. They do not have kid size burgers so we had to get him an adult size burger. I cut it in half and gave it to him with all the "fixings" on it and he ate almost the entire burger. He did NOT want it cut up into little pieces, he wanted to eat it just like mom and dad were. The burger was good (they have a really good sauce) and the fries were not so great. I definitely won't be visiting the place often. When we go eat fast food, we actually need it to be FAST.

24 Months and 24 Weeks
Cason, you are 24 months old! What have you been up to this month?
*We went to your 2 year check-up and got all your stats. Their computer system was down so we didn't get a print out of your percentages---they were just able to give me a range for now and we can get the print out at our next visit. You weigh 34 pounds, 8 ounces (falls above the 97%), they had to measure your height twice (wiggle worm) and they went with the smaller measurement which was 36.75 inches (falls around the 96%), your head circumference was large as usual 51cm (around the 95%).
*The doctor said you look GREAT and you seemed VERY active. He said this is typical of most boys and that you were definitely one we would have to keep a VERY close eye on to make sure we minimize the accidents. He said some boys have no fear and you are definitely one of them. He said it was fine that your weight was so high because you are also very tall for your age and that balances it out. He did tell us that we could go ahead and move to 2% milk though---ha!
*You are wearing size 2T and size 3T clothing---it really depends on the brand. This is the first month that we have started moving into some 3T clothing.
*You wear a size 5 diaper and size 7 or 7.5 wide shoes. We still can't buy you regular width shoes---your cute little feet are too fat :)
*You take one nap a day and sleep 11-12 hours at night. You always wake up sometime between 6:30 and 7:30 no matter what time you go to bed.
*You are still Mr. Picky when it comes to food. One day you might love something and the next you won't touch it. We never know what you are going to eat that day. You always love your milk, fruit, crackers, yogurt, chicken nuggets and fish sticks. Some new things that you have really liked to eat this month are corn, meatballs (no pasta), and pizza.
*You are getting really good with your utensils. I can just hand you a cup of yogurt, applesauce, and even a bowl of cereal and you are good to eat it all by yourself. Of course it is not mess free, but you do a really great job.
*You are talking more and more everyday. You are saying small sentences and you are becoming quite the little copycat. Mommy and Daddy really have to watch what we say. Some cute things you have said lately are....
---The other day in the grocery store, your daddy had to go to a different aisle and you kept saying very loudly, "Daddy, where are you?" over and over until you saw him again.
---When you want to go outside you say, "Mommy, shoes on, play outside". If I say, "Oh, do you want to go outside?", you will smile big and say, "Okay".
---You say okay a lot and you use your cuteness to your advantage. The other day you saw some cookies on the counter and you said, "Mommy bite cookie (pause for cuteness) okay". Like I was asking you if you wanted a bite of the cookie and you so nicely agreed.
---The other day you were pointing at my stomach and I replied with "yes, mommy is fat". You waited about an hour and then out of the blue you started saying, "Mommy fat" over and over and over!
---If some asks you how old you are, you will tell them two.
---You scraped your knee over a month ago and you still constantly say, "Boo Boo" and want someone to kiss it even though you can't even see the scrape anymore.
---Your favorite thing to say is still, "I love you". You say it a hundred times a day and it never gets old.
---You still do not say your name correctly but you do refer to yourself as "Ca". You just won't say the last 3 letters of your name. You will say, "Ca shoes on", or "Ca pet cat", etc.
*You know some of your colors. You are best at identifying blue, green, and pink. You can count to 10 with assistance (not independently yet). You can identify several letters of the alphabet in print. You do the best with letters A-L.
*You LOVE to be outside, You would stay outside all day if I would let you. It is even to the point if I want to say the word outside and your in the same room, I have to spell it.
*Your current obsessions are sunglasses, shoes, buckles, and of course Elmo (Melmo)
*Your mommy left you overnight for the very first time this past month. We went on a trip for your daddy's work and had to leave the country so we couldn't even use our phones to call you. Thank goodness for Skype. You and your Lolli had a great time and your mommy and daddy missed you very much.
*I can't believe you are already 2 years old. These past two years have flown by and we have enjoyed every second. We love our sweet, handsome little boy!!!
I officially turned 24 weeks on Sunday. We forgot to take a 20 week picture so there is a big difference between the last picture and this one. Baby boy is doing great and moving tons! I love this part of pregnancy when you can feel and see the baby moving around. I go in for my next doctor's visit next week and then 2 weeks after that we will get a sonogram. I am excited to see precious baby boy again. I sure wish he had a name but we are still undecided.
If you are thinking any of these things as you look at my 24 week picture---don't feel bad, I am thinking them too...
--Wow, she is huge.
--How is she ever going to make it to her due date of September 4th?
--She looks like she is about to pop.
To make matters worse, we took the picture at the end of the day----my make-up is non-existent and my hair is pitiful---LOL
My due date is September 4th but my doctor will induce at 39 weeks---which is August 29th. So from now on I am saying this baby is coming on or before August 29th because August sounds better than September---ha!
