Where to begin... luckily last week daddy was home!! I woke up Wednesday around 3:00am and could not breathe. Figured it was just allergies, took some meds Wednesday and went about our day. It was Granma Debbie's birthday so we made her some brownies, got her a balloon, and dropped them off at her work along with her birthday present! By Wednesday night, I was full blown sick. Adam took off Thursday and Friday to take of care of Bennett and by Friday night, I had a chest cold. I did manage to get out of the house Friday and take Bennett to the pumpkin patch at a local church Adam and I go to every year. On the way I realized I forgot my camera. Go figure. So all the pictures are from my phone, they still turned out great. Bennett LOVED the pumpkins! By Saturday I was able to go to work and Adam was sick! He got even worse Sunday, and had to leave town for work Monday. It was a long week last week that is for sure! I still have a cough and the sniffles, and he is still trying to get over it as well.

Sometime last week.. oops!
Now onto Bennett... it has been a rough week. Bennett has always been so sensitive to his burps. Usually every other day he will scream his heart out for at least an hour. We just have to walk with him high on our shoulder and burp hm until he cries himself to sleep. Nothing can calm him down. As of the last few days it has been happening 80% of the time he is awake and now is even waking him up night. We were up from about 2:45am-after 5:00am this morinng with constant screaming. I called the doctor and they said it is... acid reflux again (even though he is not spitting up) It has been horrible to see him go through this much pain. We go to the doctor tomorrow morning to up his Zantac. Please say a prayer it works! :(
^^^^ This was yesterday....
I had ran by my dad's with Bennett and ran to HEB to get daddy a birthday card from Bennett and me. (His birthday is Monday) We were literally pulling into our neighborhood when my car just shut off, my brakes locked up, my accelerator locked and my steering wheel locked. I was going around 40 miles an hour and could not stop. I slammed into park and that didn't work. The road ended in front of me in about 20 feet and all I could picture is my car flipping off the road. I freaked out and jammed on my emergency brake as hard as I could and came skidding to a stop. Luckily, my sister in law was on her way over, so she saw me on the side of the road. We got Bennett back to the house, she stayed with him and I went back to meet my mom and the tow truck. $1,200 later I now have two new fuel pumps. It was one of the scariest moments in my life and I am just so grateful we were not on the freeway (like we were about 2 minutes before this happened) or I know we could have gotten seriously injured. Thank you God for watching over us.
Now onto this weekend.. if Bennett is better the plan is for us to take 2 cars to Corpus Saturday morning. My mom got a new 2013 Ford Escape, so my brother is taking her old car (which is my first car) and Adam is taking my brother's Ford Explorer! Thank the lord! Adam will drive the explorer home. We have needed a new car for Adam for years now, but just couldn't afford to take on another payment. He has no seat belts in the back seat and no heat so Bennett has never been able to ride in his truck. It would be over $1,500 to get his truck fixed, which is more than the value of his truck! He has been dropping his truck off at my mom's on Friday when he gets back into town, and picking her car up and takes it for the weekend so he and Bennett can get around. We are so blessed my parents are so generous and giving us their explorer for free! Saturday I will go to my brother's fiancee's shower and Adam will stay at my brother's with Bennett. Saturday night my future sister in law will watch Bennett and we are going to head over to the island for dinner and drinks for the hubby's birthday! :) Here is to safe travels and a happy baby!
