Wow, it has been a very long time since I've blogged. I am too lazy to go back and play catch up, so I'll just start with Christmas. This first picture is actually of Eric at the doctor this month. He had a bad cough and was having a hard time breathing, so I got nervous and took him to urgent care. He was wheezing so badly it took 3 breathing treatments and a dose of steroid to get him breathing more normally. Each treatment took 15-20 minutes and made him so flushed, I felt so bad for the poor boy. Here he is between the 2nd and 3rd treatments, playing and so happy. At our follow up appointment, the doctor said he has asthma, which is why his coughs get him breathing so hard. He had to start a daily inhaler, which he hated at first, but he is so cute now, he helps me shake it up and helps hold the mask over his face. The good thing is kids at this age can have asthma and grow out of it, he hasn't had any major problems, so I'm not too worried about it.
Here is Eric with Santa while we were in Utah. He was so tired from not getting enough sleep when we were first there, he was not happy at all. Thankfully we lucked out and got this gem with his sweet smile.
While we were in Utah, Tanner helped Eric make his first snowman. Eric had a blast and loved watching Dada do the work and leisurely eating snow.
He had so much fun with his cousins Mikey and Noelle, they were all cute together, it makes me so excited for him to have a sibling, he loved having someone his own age to play with.
Blurry phone shot with Grandma, Eric loved seeing all his grandparents!
Eating snow, he was so cute in his puffy snowpants, he could barely walk!
Visiting Uncle Eric's grave. We loved sitting him down and telling him about his uncle and how much we love and miss him. Eric just sat and listened and recognized his own name on the headstone. He kept pointing at it yelling "E!"
Our happy boy after eating an entire half and apple, core and all.
Nana Manuel found these old roller skates from when I was a kid and Eric felt like such a big boy walking around in them!

We had so much fun seeing family in Utah. Sadly I was sick most of the time we were there, but it was still great to see everyone that we could. While we were there we announced to our families that we are expecting a new little one in July! We are so excited! We'll find out at the end of next month what we're having.
After we got back to Milwaukee, Eric was so happy to see his bud Jack Jack. This was the first time he saw him again when we got back, they gave each other 4 hugs in the first 5 minutes of seeing each other, it was so cute. I love that he has a friend that is like a brother to him, these two are inseparable. It is going to be a sad day when we move away from each other in two years. Luckily we don't have to think about that for a while.
In other news, Tanner scheduled his boards for June 15th. I can't believe how fast med school is flying by. I feel bad when it is so stressful for Tanner, but we are loving every minute out here and enjoying this time. He also got his first choice for 3rd year rotations, so he'll be on a pretty easy rotation when the baby comes. I'm excited for him to start working with patients because he's so excited about it, I know he'll be great.

We miss you guys! Especially seeing these pictures. Breaks my heart to read about Eric having breathing trouble (& how scary for you), but glad he's got the inhaler. I loved seeing the picture of visiting Uncle Eric's grave. What a sweet thing to do and what a special namesake. Boards scheduled?! That is crazy. How is 2nd year going (especially now that boards are looming in the distance)? It is not easy. Good thing you've got a smart cookie as a husband! I hope your pregnancy is going well-sad we can't grow our bellies close by! It sounds like the big three are first? So making a lighter second half of the year when the baby comes. Take care!
