On Sunday night, Kyle fell on his arm and was pretty miserable. Monday morning I called the ortho's office to see if he could get in any sooner and they were able to work him in on Monday afternoon. The doctor took off the temporary cast and put on a full arm cast. Kyle picked the color BLUE (no surprise there!). We go back the first week of August to get the cast off and another set of x-rays. Depending on what the x-rays show at that time, Kyle will either get a new cast or be in a brace for another month or so. In the mean time, no swimming, no water games, no bike riding (or anything with wheels), no sand, no dirt, no running, no climbing, no playgrounds/swing sets...
Tuesday morning, we took Colby to the dentist. He was a big boy and sat in the chair all by himself and sat real still for his x-rays. The dentist smoothed out his teeth. She said that they will eventually turn yellow or grey and fall out. Depending on when they do will depend if we do anything more or just let them be until his adult teeth come in.

Two Boys = Two ER Visits
For those of you that don't know, we are currently in Chicago on a missions trip with our teens. The teens are working with Vision for Youth and Inner City Impact doing a soccer camp. The kiddos and I are staying with Brent's sister Alyssa and her family and spending part of our days with Daddy and the teens.
Sunday the teens were all at Alyssa and Shane's house helping with a move and as they were getting ready to leave on Sunday night, Colby fell and smacked his mouth on a shelf. He screamed and was bleeding and missing part of his tooth. We called our pediatrician's office and after talking to the on-call physician, decided Colby needed to go to the ER to get check out. Kyle and Emily stayed with Alyssa and Shane while Colby and I went to the hospital. They checked him all out at the hospital. He has four teeth... he broke both of the top two.... The ER doctor said he was fine to wait until we got home to go to the dentist, but will probably need root canals and crowns on both teeth!
Today Alyssa and Harper (her 3 month old) joined the kids and I when we went to hang out with the teens. The kids were sitting on the bleachers and Alyssa and I kept telling Emily and Colby to sit down because they were climbing all over. At one point, Emily got her arm stuck and I had to get her some ice. Kyle was sitting still on the bottom bench (about a foot off the ground) and somehow fell. I hopped right up to him expecting him to start screaming but be fine. As soon as I saw his arm, I knew it was broken and most likely badly broken.
Brent called 911 and Kyle screamed the whole time we waited for the ambulance to get there. As soon as we got into the ambulance, he calmed down and didn't cry again until they set his arm.
Luckily Alyssa was there and took care of Emily and Colby. She, along with one of our teens (Gabby), got the kids into the van and met us at the hospital.
I thought Kyle would be excited about the ambulance right, but at the time he didn't really seem to care. Once we got to the hospital, we got checked in and not to long after that a PA saw Kyle in triage and said the same thing as the EMT's... it's was broken, but the real question was how bad. Once Gabby was inside with Kyle and I, she went with Kyle to get his x-rays (since Mommy couldn't stay with him because of the baby in my belly). Gabby and the tech both said he did really good while he was getting his x-rays.
A little while later the doctor same and showed us the x-ray. He broke both bones in his right forearm. Normally when little kids break bones they just kind of bend them... but Kyle completely broke both bones.
The plan was to sedate him so they could set the bones. They got him all ready with his IV and hooked up to all the monitors and stuff.. and then they gave him the meds and nothing happened. After three doses, he was a little silly, but still WIDE awake. They pharmacist came in, and her and the doctor were both very confused why Kyle was still awake. They tried a different drug and within seconds he was asleep. They set his arm and put a temporary cast on it and then we had to wait for him to wake up. It took a little longer than expected, but eventually he woke up. He was kind of crabby, but that was to be expected. After he went pee, ate some crackers, and drank some juice, he were finally able to be discharged.
Alyssa was AMAZING and kept Harper, Emily, and Colby content all afternoon between the car and ER waiting room! She was waiting for us when we came out... and we got some food and took Gabby back to the teens and headed home!
On the way home, it was funny listening to Kyle tell Emily all about riding in the ambulance, getting x-rays taken, and showing off his cast! When I put him to bed, he was really excited to go show the teenagers tomorrow!
So, next week when we get home, Colby will get to see the dentist and Kyle will get to see an orthopedic for his BLUE cast!

17 Months Old!
I didn't do pictures with the blocks today... but we had family pictures taken... so the pictures are from that! :)
Colby is a little stinkerpotumus! He loves having attention and knows that he is cute!
The biggest news from the past month is Colby can EAT MORE FOOD! He has eaten tomatoes, citrus, and carrots with no reaction! He has also had dairy baked and cooked into things and have no reaction! A huge change from even the tiniest bit of dairy in something covering him in hives and effecting his breathing! (When we get back from Chicago next week, we will try cheese and yogurt!) And he LOVES to eat! He has started to climb into his high chair when it's getting close to meal time and asking for food! And he normally eats more than Kyle and Emily do!
Colby is still nursing at least twice a day, some days more. Always after lunch and before bed, but he also sometimes does in the morning still. If he doesn't in the morning, I pump and he gets breastmilk in his cup.
Colby's vocabulary is slowly expanding, but he still doesn't have a huge list of words that he says. He is very good at listening and understands pretty much everything we tell him though!
Environmental allergy wise, Colby is still allergic to everything. If we forget to give him is zrytec in the morning, he normally has a running nose by lunch time. Hopefully by the time next summer comes around, these will improve!
Colby loves to do whatever Kyle and Emily are doing. He normally plays right along with them. He loves to play cars with Kyle and babies with Emily. He also LOVES to color and wear stickers! He also does an okay job helping pick up toys and put things away.
Colby also likes to go to time out... When he does something wrong and we tell him to go to time out, he normally runs with a big smile on his face. Not the most effective punishment right now, but hopefully he'll eventually realize it's not a game and he's in trouble!
Colby still only has four teeth and no signs of any others trying to come in.
He's still wearing mostly 12 month clothes, with a few 18 months thrown in. Most of his jammies are 18 months though.
Schedule wise, he's still pretty much the same. Up around 8:00am, and then breakfast and play/adventure until lunch at noon. Then nurse and down for a nap. Most days he sleeps for about two hours. Dinner around 5:30, and then nurse/bed around 7:00pm. He is doing better sleeping through the night... as long as he and I don't have any gluten.
Colby is a grandpa's boy, just like his big brother! One of the few words he actually does say is "Granka." He loves looking at pictures of Grandpa and is always sure to point him out and let everyone know who is in the picture!
Most of the time, he's a very happy little boy!

One.Two....Three...Four
Someone has some news to share...
He's a little excited...
Kyle and Emily are too...
We are expected baby number FOUR!
You can read through all the stuff below if you want, but here are the highlights...
May 19
You can barely see it in the "regular" test... but we have two positive (and one broken) pregnancy tests! That can only mean one thing... Eubank Baby number four is on the way!!!
We've only told a few people, but in the next few weeks plan on telling most of our family and such... if Kyle and Emily don't beat us too it! Last night in a meeting with teens (our Chicago Team) before youth group Kyle randomly said "Mommy, there's a baby in your belly!"
May 22
Yesterday my parents came over for dinner, so we put a big brother shirt on Colby. It took them a while to notice... and when they did..
"Does Colby have on Kyle's shirt?" - mom
"No, it's his shirt." - Brent
"Does it say big brother?" - mom
"Yes." - Brent
"Oh." - Mom
A little while later we asked Emily to explain Grandma why Colby had on a big brother shirt... then she got it! :)
May 28
Apparently in the first trimester of pregnancy, I ALWAYS get a horrible cold!
June 1
After a trip to the doctor and a few days on antibiotics, I am finally feeling better. I still have a nice cough... my my throat is no longer on fire and my ears don't feel like they are going to pop. And now, "morning" sickness is in full swing... And the belly is slowly starting to sick out a little bit...
June 6
Emily likes to talk to the baby. She often asks me if she can, and then lifts of my shirt and whispers things to the baby.
Yesterday Emily came into the bathroom when I was throwing up. When I was done, she asked to talk to the baby. She said "Hey you, stop making mommy spit up! She trying to grow a big belly so you have room to play in there!"
I don't remember if it was yesterday, or the day before... but I was resting on the couch because I was exhausted and she came up, lifted my shirt and started talking to the baby. She said "Hey baby. I love you, and mommy and Kyle and Colby and Daddy love you. Please stop taking mommy's energy. She need to play with us. When you done growing and come out of there, she'll play with you too. Mommy is lots of fun to play with, as long as your good. She'll probably just feed you boob for a while though after you come out! When you get big, you can play too!"
I love "seeing" (or hearing) the world through the minds of three year olds!
June 10
I had my first OB appointment this morning. All went well. Talked to the midwife for a while and she wanted to do an ultrasound to get an accurate due date since my periods haven't been regular (because of breastfeeding). Luckily, they could get me in for an ultrasound shortly after my appointment was over, so I didn't need to go back.
We have a healthy little blob with a strong little heart beat of 138 bpm. The ultrasound gave an office due date of Jan 24th, so five days later than it would have been based on my last period.
All is well... and we go back in about four weeks for another check!
Colby seemed to enjoy the ultrasound picture when I showed it to him. He kept wanting to look at it and would point to it and then to my belly. :)
June 11
This morning Kyle and Emily keep telling me its dark in my belly and the baby can't see. They also keep asking if they can hold the baby in case the baby is afraid of the dark!
June 13
I am so sick of throwing up! I've been okay during the day (just exhausted) the past couple days, but as soon as I lay down to go to sleep at night, the nausea hits me like a ton of bricks and I puke and puke and puke some more. Maybe I should try taking a zofran before I go to bed and see if that helps!
June 14
This morning I went to get the blood work done that my OB ordered. Emily went with me to the lab. She was so concerned about how much blood they had to take and made sure to hold my hand the whole time so that it didn't hurt. Then she was a little upset that I only got a piece of tape and gauze and no band-aid or sticker!
June 19
And my belly has popped out! A few days ago I decided that most of my regular jeans were to tight, so I packed them up and broke out the maternity pants... and I'm not quite 9 weeks yet.. I think with Colby I was about 10 weeks when my pants no longer were comfortable...
Emily keeps telling me the baby is growing because my belly is getting bigger.
Colby loves to attack my belly and give the baby kisses! He also thinks he has a baby in his belly.
Emily is convinced the baby is a girl. Kyle is convinced the baby is a boy. One of them is going to be disappointed!
I'm feeling pretty miserable. I am exhausted. I am having a hard time falling asleep. And when I do fall asleep, I wake up after a short bit to pee or throw up. The zofran is sometimes helping with the throwing up, but I am still nauseous most of the time.
He's a little excited...
Kyle and Emily are too...
We are expected baby number FOUR!
You can read through all the stuff below if you want, but here are the highlights...
- My due date is January 24 (Four days before Colby turns two!)
- I'm pretty miserable between the nausea, the throwing up, and the exhaustion.
- We are all very excited!
