Doctor Visit and more pics!

Monday, we got ambitious! Over the weekend, I noticed Blayne's cord getting ready to fall off but what was underneath not being pretty. I called and the nurse told me what to do, and to call back in a few days. So yesterday I called for further instructions. While waiting two hours for a response, I figured it out online. Sure enough, the nurse called back she told us to come in and the doctor diagnosed it as umbiblical glascioma (sp?). Not an infection! He told me that this was the way it was going to be and we couldn't have prevented it. He clipped the "hanging on by a thread" dried up cord, and then froze the gooky stuff with silver nitrate. All that to say, Blayne is going to have an outie! :o) He also weighs 8 lbs. now!! Growing boy!

After that, I was craving some McD's $1 sweet tea, so through the drive-thru we went. Then, we paid the water bill and stop by the church to pick up some more gifts. Said hi to everyone in the office and came home for a bit.

At 3 p.m., it was feeding time and then we went to JCPenney's for Blayne's first photo shoot! ha! He did wonderful and they turned out really good. I only walked away spending $60. Feel a little guilty, but not really. Probably will not get anymore made until his 3 month.

By the time we got home, he slept for another good hour while Ben and I were able to fix and eat dinner (leftovers reheated). Then, I fed baby and slept!! Ben recorded all my shows and gave him a bottle at 11 p.m., so I could go to bed and sleep until the 2 a.m. feeding! It was nice and Blayne slept until 7:30 this morning. I really do not know how I got so lucky, and I'm praying it sticks!

All in all, we had a full day!

First Mother's Day and Ballgame!!

Hi all! Let me explain why i haven't posted anything. I keep forgetting my stinkin password. Seriously, I've had to reset it like 5 times b/c I can't remember. I'm going to write it down this time though!

We've had another great week. He has had his nights and days mixed up, but not too bad and I think we've almost reversed it. last night, he slept from 12:30 to 6 a.m. It's all about not overstimulating and keeping things quiet at this point, so he learns the difference. He only cries when getting his diaper changed, of course, and if he has a gassy tummy. We're getting used to his cues. He's such a good baby!

Here are some pics from the last week or so. (I don't know how to get them in order or to show up below. I'll figure that out later. ) Sunday was my first Mother's Day, and the Harbin's came down to take us out to lunch and spend the afternoon with Blayne. Last night, Blayne went to Ben's softball game, so we had him all decked out in baseball attire! Enjoy!
