no pictures AGAIN!

Well, I went home at noon on Thursday. Friday morning I finally felt better (yah, good enough to go shopping). I wasn't up to par, but I wasn't missing out! Thursday night Ryan started getting sick and by Friday was miserable. He came home from work that morning, which NEVER happens so I know he was really really sick! I got a lot of great deals at Edinburgh! I got quite a few Christmas presents, which is good since I'm wanting to finish up Christmas shopping SOON. Brycen & Andon both got plenty of new clothes! Who can pass up great deals?! We had fun. My mom, my friend Vanessa, and I went and laughed the entire day! The only bad thing happened after we'd been shopping for about an hour... it was about 11am and I was going to town in the Osh Kosh store and started feeling not so great... um yah, I almost passed out AGAIN. I kind of forgot to eat anything that morning... whoops! We went to lunch right away and after I got some food in me I was feeling much better. We got home late Friday night and I was sooo exhausted. Of course Brycen had to get up three times during the night for breathing treatments and w/ Ryan being sick I was the only parent "on duty". Luckily, on Saturday we didn't have anything to do and Ryan was still sick so we mostly spent the day laying around and catching up on rest and trying to get healthy. I did have to run to Wal-Mart to get groceries and other stuff we had to have, but that went pretty smooth. I didn't have a chance to go at all last weekend w/ being so busy, so my bill was outrageous though! lol. Brycen had a terrible cough and his poor little chest was just killing him by the end of the day. We were up again 3 times during the night for breathing treatments on Saturday :( I felt so bad for the little guy. I felt like I already had a newborn in the house, being up so often! Also, Saturday we dog sat for our friends puppy, she was sooo cute! They live in KY and had a wedding up here and so we got to watch her. Brycen loved that. Yesterday afternoon everyone was finally feeling much better! What a relief! I hate germs, and I felt like we were sitting around in a germ filled house so I disinfected pretty much everything possible! Ryan said it smelled like a hospital after I got done :) We were able to make it to my parents for supper last night, I needed to get out of the house! My mom made Taco Soup! YUMM!! I have been on a real soup kick lately! Brycen finally slept soundly all night w/ no coughing, wheezing, or any other symptom that needed taken care of! I was so glad b/c we all needed a good nights sleep! He was still tired and not wanting to get out of bed this morning (hey, neither did I!). We did make it to work/school and I talked to Ryan earlier and he is feeling good! yayy! I hope the sickies stay away, we've had our fair share the past few weeks! This week we don't have much going on at all and I'm so thankful for that! I thought that last week, but then ended up not being able to catch up on much, sooo hopefully this week the catching up can happen! Well, I need to eat lunch- so I hope you all have a terrific Monday!
Oh yes, and we have decided on a FINAL name for baby! Andon Joseph Richard Knepp... Long, I know, but we couldn't decide on the middle name so we thought we'd just use both! Plus, it's still shorter than my name was growing up. It's only 23 letters, mine was 26, a whole alaphabet worth :) My brother & my grandpa are pretty excited, so I'm glad we decided to use both names!
