Please Pray & Merry Christmas!!

Filed Under: Family

We took Carsyn to the ER last night at midnight. He was having episodes where he would hold his breath for a few seconds and make an awful faces. He did that about 20 times between 10:30pm and 2 am. Doctor said it is normal infant behavior. I am glad it was nothing serious, but I want answers. It didn’t seem normal to me. If it is normal why did he just start it after 7 months. Please pray for my baby boy. Hoping we saw the last of that. Since we got home at 2am he has been sleeping and just woke up. So far so good he hasn’t had anymore. I am exhausted though.


Hope everyone has a very, Merry Christmas!

    That sounds really scary! I am glad the Dr. said it was normal, even thought it doesn't seem normal to me, but hopefully you'll either never experience that again, or will find out what is going on.

    I hope you had a wonderful day.

    Very scary!! My hubby's cousin held his breath - it was a temper thing. Hopefully Carsyn never does it again!

    Merry Christmas!! :) I love your collage.

    Oh my goodness! I'm so glad everything is ok! That's scary. I hope you get answers, I'd want them too.

    Oh that's awful! I just prayed for your little guy!

    Merry Christmas to you too! Have a wonderful weekend!

    oh sarah, how scary! i'm sure you were freaking out. so happy to hear the doctors weren't worry about it & hopefully that helps you calm down a bit too. i will definitely keep your little man in my prayers!

    merry christmas!
  11. CJ says

    December 25, 2010 at 11:44 pm

    Oh no!! Praying for your little guy and hope it doesnt happen again.
  12. Rj and Jessie says

    December 25, 2010 at 11:20 pm

    Hope he doesn't do it anymore. That would scare me. :/
  13. Ashley Sisk says

    December 25, 2010 at 10:13 pm

    Poor little guy but I've actually heard of this before. Not that it makes it any less easy (especially since I'm not a parent myself) but in my child development classes, I heard of this happening and he should grow out of it. Either way, I'll say a sweet prayer for him.
  14. Joni Llanora says

    December 25, 2010 at 9:55 pm

    Ooh, scary. He'll be in my prayers. Merry Christmas to you & your family!
  15. Tiffany says

    December 25, 2010 at 8:36 pm

    That would freak me out if Hunter did that! He sometimes makes this awful gasping sound and it sounded like he was having trouble breathing. I figured out it was usually something hurting him (like his diaper rash and he had just peed, or when I was wiping him on his diaper rash). Hoping those episodes are over for you guys!

    Merry Christmas!
  16. Kayla says

    December 25, 2010 at 5:22 pm

    Ugh - I hate when doctors say "oh, it's just normal" when there's no way it's normal. That's so scary. I hope he's doing better today.
  17. kelly, says

    December 25, 2010 at 4:21 pm

    I've never heard of that. glad he's ok. As long as his coloring doesn't change, he is probably good to go. Infants can be goofy creatures!!!
  18. Chari says

    December 25, 2010 at 2:13 pm

    that's scary! will be praying for him that he is ok!
  19. Kelly @ In Everything says

    December 25, 2010 at 9:51 am

    thank goodnesss he is ok.

    my husband as little boy would hold his breath until he passed out....nothing but a temper tantrum... a quiet one!! WAtch out for those CUTE 2nd borns!!!
  20. Reading Allowed says

    December 25, 2010 at 8:38 am

    Oh my gosh how scary! I'm glad it was nothing serious although I agree that can't be normal. I hope that's the last you see of it, and that maybe his regular pedi can shed more light on it. Merry Christmas to all of you!

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
