It is so hard to believe tomorrow Isaac will be 5 weeks old. I came up with a new response to when people ask if he is home yet. I am going to say "he is currently living with his 24/7 nannies and the best part is insurance pays for part of his care!" Does that sound believable?
Anywho, Isaac is currently 3 lbs and 1/2 an ounce. So he is getting there. I think his cheeks are actually chubby. Oh and he is off the C-PAP again. He isn't even on high flow oxygen, he is on low flow oxygen. My little over achiever. I tell you he is something else. I think his thighs are even bigger. He was more active today then I have seen him since Monday. His eyes were opening again and they were opened at longer intervals too. I changed his diaper tonight and when I was doing so I couldn't get the clean one back on him. One bun kept creeping out. I had to get one of the "nannies" to help me.
I am glad it is Friday tomorrow, I am exhausted being back to work. This morning I thought I would sleep in for a little bit. Well, the rest of the morning was a bust. Ari kept crying "I don't like my pants." (okay mom, don't laugh). Literally, she was crying about it. I reasoned "but that outfit came as a set." anywho, she stayed in her pants and kept asking "I want gum for the road." My response..." we have to eat breakfast first". Then to top it all off my 2 mile/10 minute commute turned into 30 minutes. I know, I know most people have a really long commute. But when you are running late already it truly makes it for a more difficult morning.
Have a good Friday! I know I will....
The Ari pants story reminds me of when Sarah was little and cried whenever we put "shaky pants" on her. She'd cry big tears and wail, "but I don't like shaky pants waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Shaky pants meant ones that were not totally form-fitting to her legs all the way down to the ankle. Remind me someday to demo for you her reaction to some circus style pants she had to wear.
ReplyDeleteHer style has improved a bit since then. :)
I love hearing your victorious stories about Isaac's continued healing. Prayers continue for you all. Except maybe Taco, I think it's too late for him. ;)
