Larsen's First Swim!

Larsen went swimming for the first time today! He absolutely loved it! He thought the pool was a giant bath tub! He is going to have a great time this summer in grandma and grandpa's pool. Here are some pics from the pool.

Rubber ducky, you're the one!

Larsen loves his bath time! He likes to splish and splash! One of the best purchases I have made so far is a bath seat from Babies R Us. He likes a lot of water in the tub so he can splash around, but the problem is, without someone being in the bath without him, he gets so excited splashing that he almost turns himself over! This bath seat is great and he loves it!

Here are some pics of bath time in his new seat!

Time to become a hot mama!

I have just started Jillian Michaels' The Shred workout. So far, I am on day three. My husband is working out with me and he is on day five. He is trying to lose weight and gain muscle. I am mostly wanting to tone, but it would be nice to drop a few pounds, as well. It is a tough workout. I am very, very sore!! I would definitely recommend it. Let's hope I make it 30 days!

Test Results

Whew! All of the test results came back normal! A huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders. Marshall and I honestly did not suspect that Larsen had cystic fibrosis, since the only symptom he had was wheezing/coughing and he has great weight gain, but there still was that sinking suspicion in the back of our minds. We will continue on the inhaler every morning and evening and he will go back to see Dr. Johnson in July. Hopefully, there will be no more coughs between now and then.

What a great day to be a mommy!!

Sometimes I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that yes, indeed, I am a mommy! I can't believe that I am lucky enough to have been blessed with the sweetest little boy I have ever met. I thank the Lord that he chose me to be Larsen's mommy!

I showed Larsen this picture yesterday. It was taken on Mother's Day last year, when my little guy was still snug and safe in my tummy. I can't believe that was a whole year ago! Time flies!

Nervous about tomorrow

Larsen has to go for some tests tomorrow. I am trying not to think about them because when I do, I start to worry and get nervous. Dr. Johnson, the specialist he has been seeing, wants him to have an upper GI, a cystic fibrosis test, and some blood work done tomorrow to hopefully rule some things out. He is off of his antibiotic and his steroid and is only taking albuterol as needed. We are still doing his Flovent inhaler in the morning and night. Hopefully, we won't have any more coughs this year!!

Here is a cute picture of me and Larsen. He is waving at the camera! hehe He loves to wave at everyone!

Love many, trust few, and always paddle your own canoe--Love you, Grandma Fitzy

My great-grandma passed away this week. Marjorie Mae Fitzjarrell. I am so happy that she was able to meet Larsen before she passed away. She lit up everytime he came to visit. I was extremely sad to see her go, but I know that she was ready and she lived a good, long life. I bet she is filling a cookie jar right now with some delicious cookies she just made. We will miss you, Grandma Fitzy! Love you!
