Snuggies!

So Jim and I got Snuggies! I ordered them off the internet and they were backordered! Can you believe it. I wish I had thought of them because of their stupid commercials they are making a fortune!

Anyway they are actually very comfortable and very warm. They are huge though. Could never carry CJ around with one on. I would be afraid I would trip over it.

Dayton Visit and Celebrations!

We wanted to get back to Dayton to see baby Alec. Since I was the only one that had met him we wanted the rest of the family to go. And Savannah really wanted to meet her new cousin. We also decided to go ahead and celebrate CJs first birthday. It was a bit early, but since all my family was there it worked out great. We also celebrated Jen and Neil's birthday and the arrival of baby Alec. We decided to drive down Saturday morning this time. Which worked out pretty well. We didn't have to stop for a meal and since we have flipped CJ around in the car both kids were able to watch tv. We were going to stay with my mom this time since Jen is still trying to figure things out. But we spent the day at Jens and then went back to my moms that night.

All in all everyone had a great time. I didn't get to spend as much time with Alec as I would have liked, (I was running around getting ready for the party). But it was great to have all of the grandkids (and great grandkids) together!

Tubes for CJ!

CJ had had 3 ear infections in a month and a half. So we decided to take him to an ENT to check them out. He told us that he was going to put him on a low dose antibiotic for a month and see if he could get the fluid to drain.

We went back on Monday March 9th to get them checked. I thought for sure it had drained because we had been so healthy that month. Well as soon as the Dr. looked in his ears he said it was all still in there. He had CJ do a hearing test and he failed so tubes it was.

We were able to get in that Friday (yes the 13th!). Since he was the youngest he went first. We were supposed to be at the hospital at 6:30. CJ was supposed to fast after midnight and since he still gets up for a bottle we knew this was going to be an issue. So we decided to wake him up at 11:30 to eat. He had his bottle and went back down. He then decided to be awake at 3:30! Yikes! So we were a little tired by the time we went to the surgery.

CJ got all registered and we went back. He got into a hospital gown and I got in some scrubs and we took him back. I thought it wouldn't be that big of deal watching him go to sleep, but I had a really hard time with it. I was fine once I got to the waiting room. The good thing is that it is a very short procedure. I was only in there 9 minutes before the Dr. came out. He said CJ did a great job and the fluid was very waxy and would have never drained on its own. So I am glad we did it.

We were home by 9 am and we both took a much needed nap. CJ acted like nothing ever happened! So that is great!
