Look at the penguins!!
I can't believe I have went this long without updating. Things have been a bit hectic though, so I'm sure you all understand.
I hate to pull the whole obsessive mommy card but he is my life so it just seems right to update on him first. Kyle and I just got home from taking him to his 4 month check up. He is now 23 1/4 inches (pretty darn good considering he was 15 in. at birth) and weighs 12.8 lbs (again...an improvement from 3 lbs!) He had to get shots and he did much better than me. I hate sitting there and listening to him scream his little head off and I can't do anything to make him feel better. Other than that things are as they should be. Oh, except for the fact that he has had to have countless brain ultrasounds and the Drs finally concluded that he has some sort of calcified mass in the back of his brain which they say could be nothing but they want to be safe and keep an eye on it. So, next week he has an appointment with a Dr who is said to be one of the best neurologists. They say that the mass is in a part of the brain that could cause shakes or tremors of some sort. So please keep us in your thoughts or prayers or whatever it is that you do. :) He still isnt letting mommy sleep at night, but we're working on that. He can roll over but thinks it's funny to only do it when it's just me and him. Nobody seems to believe me that he has accomplished this. He's looking more and more like Kyle everyday which doesnt bother me one bit cause i think Kyle is pretty darn cute :) As a whole I'm going to be completely honest and say that being a stay at home mom and housewife is a lot more difficult then I had thought it would be. Not to say I dont enjoy it, it's just physically, mentally and emotionally challenging. I know that might sound lame, but there really is no way to describe it.
Kyle and I are also doing well. We fight occassionally but both agreed that we're doing pretty damn good for a newly married couple. We had a lot put on our plates in a short amount of time and I think we have come together and handled it well. I need to learn to control my attitude a bit. I tend to be quiet fiesty during our arguments. I'm told that will get better with age. I hope so. I'm crazy, i'm not gonna lie.
I apologize that this entry lacks crazy excitment. Please understand that my days are filled with Baby Einstein and Sesame Street. Although I must say both are fabulous.
