Well, no real big news this week. Life is just goin on! (which is QUITE ok with me) ;) The home health nurse came out yesterday and he now weighs 7 lbs. 7 oz.! He's a growin' boy! He also is eating about 4 oz. (about 120 ml.) every 4 hours. He's eating almost double what he's expected to. We decided to "up" his feedings because at 80 ml., he would still be looking for something to suck on and he was just not that pleasant to be around. :) He now seems quite content after eating a whole 4 oz.!
He has been keeping me up at nights though. For some reason, he thinks he's supposed to sleep during the day and stay up all night. He just wants some valuable mommy-son time, I guess! I have enjoyed the past 2 Fridays though ... My amazing sister Eliza has stayed over night and fed him at 4 for me! It's been awesome.
My friend, Aubrey, threw me a baby shower last weekend, which turned out to be a huge success! (THANK YOU Aubrey .. and Lori) It was fun to see everyone again.
Rocky is starting to be a little more active and fun to play with. He is almost to where he can hold up his head by himself! We keep trying and trying to get him to smile (a REAL one-not his drunk, drousy ones) but he hasn't popped one out yet. His big beautiful eyes keep us entertained though, that's for sure! He tells us everything through those two little things. We can't wait until he can smile and giggle :)
Quick update with Kyle -
He is taking a break from school for the summer. He actually was signed up for Math 1050 but a few days into the class, the school contacted him and told him that he can't get Financial Aid unless he goes full time. So his options were to either take the math class and have to pay for it, or go full time in order to get aid. Here's the catch: If he didn't take Math 1050 this semester, he would have to take 1010 AND 1050 over again, because his prerequisite would expire. So that adds another year of school on. It was a hard decision, but i think it will be a nice break for him before the paramedic program starts in August. He also just graduated with his associates! Good job hunny buns :) Only 2 more years and than Bachelors!
We keep getting these random bills in the mail for Rocky and I. It is amazing to me how people can charge so much for services!! Especially people without insurance ... they would be paying off hospital bills for the rest of their lives! Rockys "Special Nursery" stay was around $50,000. Rediculous. Luckily, we FINALLY got approved for medicaid and so we are hoping they will cover most of what we would have to pay out of pocket.
I did 150 crunches the other day! Woo Woo!! :) Hopefully I can finally start getting back into shape! Kyle and I have been trying to eat healthier, and we are going to start running together every morning. (we'll see how long this lasts...) I just wish the weather would start shapin up! Kyle has been dying to go Rock Climbing. And I've been dying to go to the canyon for bbqs, walks, fishing, hiking, camping, etc.
