update on hearing:

cove had an appointment at primary children's on april 27th. he now only has mild hearing loss in both ears and has improved so much! they decided not to fit him for hearing aids because of the improvement. we go back july 8th and if it is the same he will get hearing aids, if not then we're good! yay!

one year anniversary

well, we didn't do anything special for our anniversary but it sure felt special! kaden and i have had a loooong hard year with school, work, pregnancy, and baby boy. i sure do love this husband of mine and i am so grateful for our little family and how far we've come, and what we've accomplished in just one short year!

we went to the pizza cart for dinner, and during the 30 minute wait went to walmart and i got new car mats and a steering wheel cover. after we ate we came home and tried our cake, and read all of our notes from the jar we had at our wedding. so fun to read! then we went to pick up cove from the babysitter (pilar) and hung out with him before bed. less is more in my mind. i just loved hanging out like old times with kaden since he isn't home very often now. 

hearing update

cove still can't hear, we have been to an audiologist twice. the first appointment he couldn't hear at all, the second one he could hear loud sounds only. this week we met with an ear, nose, and throat doctor who told us that he couldn't see any fluid in his ear so he may have sensory hearing loss (mild-moderately deaf). we are struggling with this thought, but we have to deal with it! on the 20th cove has an appointment at primary children's where they will do another ABR test. if he still doesn't pass we will have to move on and get him some hearing aids so he is able to learn correctly and so he can hear his momma's voice :) we are all praying for him and hoping for the best, but whatever happens he is still the cutest & sweetest baby ever and we love him so much.
