Happenings in our house

THE BOYS:


Nate is doing great. He put in his 2 weeks at Bass and Friday is his last day. He is excited to only have to work one job! He hasn't put his 2 weeks in yet at Mix but will soon. The academy starts on March 3rd at 0700. :) He went today and signed his acceptance letter and got his packet of information which told him what he needs for the the academy and what his benefits are. It was exciting looking through all the paper work. It just seems so strange that my husband is going to be a police man. weird.

Gus is doing great too. We had an appointment last week and he weighed in at a whopping 10 pounds 11 ounces and was 23 inches long. So for those of you that were concerned, our boy is NOT starving! He is growing like a weed. We had to switch formulas this week and the new formula makes him poop smell like a Mcdonalds cheeseburger. Not kidding. It's gross but good because now I never want to eat another Mcdonalds cheeseburger. He is getting strong and tries so hard to hold his little head up. He is doing good and we still love him like crazy.

THE GIRLS:

I am doing good. I am feeling normal again and I love it. It is so good to be able to go places and do things and not be exhausted. It is good to be able to get out of bed without having to stop and take a breath and think about it for a minute. It's nice. I do have some energy back but the nights are still kinda hard. I am usually ok for the the first feeding (around 2 0r 3) but the 2nd nighttime feeding (around 5 or 6) is so much harder for me. I find myself dosing off as I hold Gus in the rocking chair. It is safer and easier if I just lay him in bed with us for his bottle and then put him back to bed when he is done. If I don't do this, I am afaid I will fall asleep and drop him. I made dinner tonight and it was delicious. I will post the recipie in a few days. Things are good.

Zoee is doing great. We are trying to potty train but it's not working so well (post to follow). She had underwear on most of the night tonight but would never go. She finally peed on the upstairs patio. I was glad she did it outside. She is becoming her own little person and has to do everything by herself and she is very stubborn (another post to follow). She makes me laugh every day but also makes me want to pull my hair out. I guess that's what toddlers do. Love the girl.
