Big Brother

Owen has done a phenomenal job of adjusting to a new sibling. He thinks Presley is so funny! He loves when she is suffering with the hiccups...nothing makes him laugh harder. Considering what he has been through these past weeks, his spirits are high and he has been a pleasure to be around. When I mention "what Owen has been through", I am referring to the poor kid battling some type of stomach flu for 2 weeks. Throwing up, diarrhea, the works. Then this past weekend he started showing signs of the swine flu. We took him into the emergency room, and we are still awaiting test results. They felt strongly enough to treat him as if he had it. Yikes! Why can't this time just be easy??? Mike and I are living separate lives right now. I am on our second floor with Presley, and Mike is living it up with the TV and kitchen downstairs with Owen. I know things will get better soon. Maybe this is giving us a reason to slow down, and really bond with Owen a Presley. Anyway, we'll keep you posted on those test results. Our big boy is loving being able to swing on his own now.
These two have become the best of friends while Mike has been off work...where ever dad is, Owen must fallow.

Owen has been enjoying the perks of a new baby in the house=new toys! For instance...my breast pump. He loves to pretend to pump just like mommy.

LIZ!
First off, I think you are totally right - this little gem of a challenge is really a blessing in disguise to give you time to bond. Owie definitely needs his one on one time with Dad, and Presley you.
Second, the pictorial of Owie pumping is outright frightening.

What a little trooper Owen is...not to mention you and Mike. I hope Owen gets over his sicky-ness quickly. Take care and let me know how I can help out.

Oh the joys of pumping! That's hilarious that he's caught on- does anything come out of that belly button? ;o)

Enjoy your time together (but I hope Owen gets to feeling better soon!)

Darling pics!! Does Presley look like Owen as a baby? I can't really remember, but it seems she has her own look...adorable! Hope Owen feels better, and recovers from the swine flu! Sophie's whole family had it!!
