Our New House and an Update

So we are finally in our new house! I absolutly love it. It is so nice to have a house that is brand new so we don't have to worry about the people who have lived in it prior or things not working correctly. We had a few delays in getting into it as soon as we would have liked to have, but are so thankful that we are in it now. We are still unpacking--boy does it take forever especially with two little ones around, but it is getting there slowly. It is still my hope to get it all finished prior to starting back to school which will be in a few weeks. Ahhhh a few weeks-that sounds awful. I am not sure that I am ready to go back to work just yet even though I have been off work since the first week in April....maybe that is making it harder?!?!!? Or mabe I am just not looking forward to taking my kids back to daycare. Cohl will be 4 months old in a few weeks. Can you believe it has been 4 months since he was born. I still can't believe it. I hate how fast they grow when they are this little. He is getting so big. We have had a few problems with his health. At 2 months he was throwing up all the time and I didn't feel he was gaining a lot of weight. We took him in and after several tests that ruled out other problems the Dr. said he has Acid Reflux, this was on a Friday. Monday afternoon the nurse called and said the urine culture grew bacteria indicating a urinary tract infection so he was put on medication for that too in additon to the acid reflux medication. We scheduled him for a VCUG which would determine if he had VUR which is a urinary reflux like Jyllian had. We got the results back from that and he does indeed have VUR like Jyllian did. We are thankful that we found out about it sooner so we can be on top of it and he will not have to get so sick like our poor Jyllie Bean did. VUR causes urinary tract infections and if left untreated will cause a Kidney Infection which can cause a lot of damage to the kidneys and cause them to be very sick and even death. Jyllian did get a Kidney Infection which is how we found out she had the VUR in the first place. Luckily she did not have any damage and has since outgrown the VUR. We are hopeful that Coh will too. So for now he is on antiobiotics daily. We go to the Urologist on the 22nd of August. We will see what he says.
Jyllian will be starting preschool in September. It makes me sad to think she is already old enough to be going to preschool. She is super excited about it. She asks daily when does she get to go. She got to meet her preschool teacher last week. I think she will enjoy going. She will go 2 days a week in the morning. I will be able to take her and pick her up if needed as my schedule happened to work around that. I am thankful for that. Both her and Cohl will be going to the same daycare that Jyllian went to this Spring. Andrea is very excited to have a baby! So we are thankful for that.
Justin took some time off to move us into our new house. It was so nice to have him home for 12 days! It was hard for him to go back to work this week. Next week on his days off we are going go down to Cheyenne and do some shopping for the kids and myself in Cheyenne and Fort Collins. Should be a nice get-a-way.
So I think that is a good enough update for now. I hope you enjoy the new pictures of the house!
I'll try and keep posting updates regularly! Time just seems to fly by. Hope you are all doing GREAT!
