Inauguration and snoring.

Today Barack Obama took the Oath of Office to become the 44th President of the United States of America. Tate had kinder music class today, but we decided to be a few minutes late in order watch the historic event take place live. I couldn't help but get teary and a little emotional. Not only am I grateful for Obama and the hope he is bringing to this country, I was also proud to be witnessing history as it happened. Maybe I was a little more emotional than usual because I had my precious little boy on my lap and another one on the way. But I am so glad for this new President and feel confident in the future for my children. It is overwhelming to see the hope I feel reflected in millions of Americans. I pray that the next few years, although undeniably difficult, will maintain the hope I have felt recently. I also hope that Rob and I can make the decisions necessary to financially secure our family and to strengthen our bond. I love my little family and am GRATEFUL to be a citizen of a free nation that has the right to pick its leaders. God bless USA!

After another wonderful music class, I took Tate to his doctor. Tate has been SNORING for a few weeks now. And not just cute little toddler snoring. Great, BIG bear snoring that causes him to catch his breath and then start coughing. I wondered if his tonsils were getting too big and Rob urged that I take him in (he is so smart). The doctor suggested that we take Tate for a sleep study and in the meantime try some nasal spray. I want to use the nasal spray for the first time tonight and if it doesn't seem to help, I will call to schedule the sleep study tomorrow. Depending on the outcome of the sleep study, Tate may then need to see an ENT doctor. So we will see what happens!
