Bronchial Bug and Bed Bugs

Just when we thought the little guy was out of the woods, his sickness returns. Declan has had this for about 3 weeks now, off and on, so instead of waiting to get an appointment to see his pediatrician we decided to take him to Urgent Care yesterday. This was the first time that we have had to go to the Urgent Care clinic but it was well worth it. It turns out that Declan has Bronchitiis. He has been tearing-up with every wheezing cough. He is just not our normal little guy right now but we are thankful to have antibiotics to help combat this illness. He lost his appetite for a few days but it must be back because even through his piercing cough he managed to steal his sister's sweet potatoe fries yesterday...

On Saturday, we assembled Declan's new big-boy bed. Both he and his sister really enjoyed every minute of the process, from watching Daddy piece together the frame to watching Daddy bring in the base wood. They even had a great time dancing on the large piece of cardboard in which the bed frame came.

Maya and Declan loved playing on the bed and climbing the headboard rails.

When I painted Declan's name on his wall, it didn't really go well with the rest of his room but now I think it does. His room is more of a pre-teen looking room with industrial tones and textures, but we think it turned out pretty good. Once Declan is used to sleeping in his bed, I will post more pictures of the final product. For now, his crib remains a big part of his pad.

(Maya wanted it to be HER new bed)

So Declan's Bronchitiis is on the mend, his bed is assembled, and we are eager to find an LCD TV to complete our living room. After a lot of research, we have decided what components matter most to us and we think we have it narrowed down to one or two units that we have seen at Costco. Hopefully we will have something by Christmas...=)
