Allen carrying the last item.
The next day Allen was very ill. I was scared and called a friend who is a nurse. Her husband is a PA so he stopped by to give us some stuff to help Allen sleep through the night. He was too sick to get to the emergency room. The next day we spent all day at the ER. Allen had a 6mm kidney stone. The opening to pass a stone is 2mm:( Three surgeries and five weeks later he is finally better. I only took this picture once I knew he was going to be ok:)

Cole turned 15 months and weighs 20 lbs 7oz (44th %), is 32 1/4" (84th %). Both kids are happy and healthy. We are so blessed.
This last month was scary and stressful due to Allen's health. But was have such amazing family and friends. So thankful to my mom who helped me every day/night with the kids, to our friends Ana and Audrey who brought us meals, took care of Alexis, checked in on us. And everyone who checked in to see how we were doing. And to Allen for being a great patient and letting us take care of him.
