Poop!... There it is!

By BK -
The tag team of Brian and Rachel just had a 4 diaper cleanup here at the 4am feeding. Rachel was taking care of the first messy messy diaper and cleaning him up as he decided he wasn't done. We're both kind of punchy at this point and just started laughing because we've never had the diaper off and him essentially pooping in our hands as we hold the new diaper on. Thank goodness we had the new one slipped under the old one before we fully took it away or we'd be talking more about the laundry right now. He messed the second diaper up pretty good and as we were trying to get him clean again he still somehow managed to find a bit more and mess a third diaper. After a two man effort we finally got him completely clean and into diaper #4 which is what he is now wearing. All of this in about a 10 minute span.

He just sat there, happy as a clam, almost mockingly smiling at us, the whole way through. Now he's wide awake and so are we so we're watching the women's gymnastics win gold and silver live at 4.45!

I'm sure work will be fun later today.

Anyways my Mom is coming in from WI Saturday and hopefully bringing kringle and seven sisters danish! It'll be nice to have her help and give Rachel's Mom a bit of a break since she's been carrying a heavy load helping us a ton this last week (and letting me go to the braves/cubs game last night with Uncle Micah and Grandpa H)

What an experience! But you guys seem to have it down. The best way to get through it is with a sense of humor.

I giggled a bit as I read it ;)

HA! I love this story - - reminds me of Jack's 4 foot projectile poop when he was an infant. (yeah....not fun to clean up, is it??) Sounds like Izzy is keepin' ya'all on your toes! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

By BK -
We've got so much to be Thankful for this year! especially all of the help and well wishes we've received from all of you. We've got a healthy baby boy, with a couple of major issues, but all things that can be dealt with in time. We're so happy and lucky to have him. We're finding out fast that there are some great people down here that have offered their ears, their arms, and their wallets to us. We've got great support almost nationwide too! So as a quick little sign of thanks we've got this little video for you all to see the little guy in action.

Surgery Update Numero Tres

By BK -
We're in his room with him right now! He's rather puffy right now and his bandages come down to the tip of his nose, but he's here with us. Everyone says he's done very well. His bandages almost make it look like he's just got a big white winter cap on pulled low on his head. He's pretty quiet right now since he's still sleeping off some of the anesthesia. He's got an IV going to give him some extra fluids and he's on oxygen for the time being. Both of us are rather hungry since we could barely eat anything this morning and now that its all over we're realizing we haven't really eaten much of anything since 6:30 this morning and its just past 2pm now. We're still trying to figure out the lay of the land here in the PCA section of the hospital, but it sounds like one of us should be here at all times to watch over him, which puts a little monkey wrench into our plan of getting Rachel out to the RPA 15th anniversary party on Friday
