Tiny Dancer

This past weekend Olivia had her first ballet recital. She's been taking ballet since last September and loves it. This is her showing off her costume.

Curtain call

I was a little worried that she would get stage fright but she did a great job. Her favorite part of the night was getting flowers from us. She had requested that we throw the flowers on the stage when she was finished but I talked her into handing them to her after the recital. Too funny!

Mother's Day Postponed

Sunday morning (Mother's Day) at 5 am, I woke up to Olivia screaming "I can't breathe!!" We ran in her room and she was gasping to breathe. After she calmed down her breathing got a little better but she also had a fever. This was not a good way to start Mother's Day. We called the pediatrician and she said it was probably a virus. She said to give her Motrin for the fever and if the breathing worsens to go to the hospital. Rick stayed home from church with Olivia. Then Ben, and I took Will to church for the first time for sacrament meeting, then Rick and I traded so that he could teach his lesson.
Olivia seemed to get better during the day but when she went to bed Sunday night. She kept having breathing attacks where she couldn't catch her breath. Rick took her to the emergency room at about 10:30. He said he could call me when they got in a room. It had been about an hour and since the hospital is very close to us, I started getting nervous. I called Rick's cell phone and got voicemail. My mind started going to the worst scenario. So I texted him, no answer. After about 30 minutes of completely freaking out, I decided to call the hospital. They put me through to their room. Rick answered and said everything was fine but the emergency room didn't have cell service. Nice! It seems as though you should be able to get a hold of someone with an emergency. They diagnosed her with croup.
They got home around 1:30. Olivia was in a happy mood because the nurses had given her a popsicle, a fox stuffed animal, and some stickers and had not given her a shot, just some medicine she could drink. We got her to bed and crawled into our bed to hopefully get some sleep. Just as we laid down, Will started crying and was up for another 2 hours.
So this year, Mothers Day will be Sunday May 16th for the Meyer family, baring any catastrophes.

1 month

Will is one month old! It seems like he has been in our family forever. The first few weeks were filled with feedings, diapers, and a little sleep. Will was a little cranky because he wouldn't poop for 4 days at a time. I imagine that would make anyone uncomfortable. Thankfully he has worked it all out (pun intended) and is feeling better. Over the past week or so he has been sleeping well and only getting up once or twice a night. He is pretty fussy in the evening but at least he is sleeping. Hallelujah!!

Weight 11 lbs.
