I feel like all I do these days is play catch-up. But we have been very busy with end of the school year stuff. Not to mention Dr. appointments.
X-man is now up to 13lbs. This is not with out a lot of work. The GI doc has me nursing 6-7 times a day 20-30 min. each time. He also gets formula mixed xtra strong with cereal( he refuses the bottle) three times a day. So that comes out to about every two hours during the day and up twice at night. What we won't do for our children.
The hubby's surgery will be on Wed. The surgeon switched days on us. He also changed it from a local anestic to complete sedation. Oh, and it will be at the hospital, instead of the clinic. Down side is that Abby's b-day and our 11th anniversary is on Thursday. How fast will he recover?
I spent most of last week working on his gift. I made him a good old fashioned patchwork quilt. He said around Christmas that he wanted one. We started looking and found that most of them in the store were not real patchwork, but fabric printed to look like it. I had also heard that the quality of those quilts was some what lacking. So here comes Supermom. Of course I thought that I could do better and save a ton of money by doing it myself. I knew Granny had a fabric stash that I could raid and so I did. I bought one fabric and a blanket for the fill. I spent forty dollars total. I won't tell you how many hours I spent cutting, pinning and sewing. Much to my dismay I ran into a little trouble. Granny to the rescue! Sat. she helped me set it straight and tie it off. Now I have only to wash and wrap it. I will give it to him a day early, so he can have it snuggle in after the surgery.
Ran a half marathon last Sunday in Green Bay. It was a blast. Went for the fun and to help the neighbor run her first. We did not make good time, but all made it the finish. Lily's cast will come off on Friday and X will see the GI and Speech patholigist on Tuesday. I am sure I will be bored this week, there simply isn't a thing to do!
Here are a few pics from Easter, May crowning and just to update. X is now 6 mo. old.
