Taking the Scenic Route

Today is Zane’s birthday.  Happy birthday, my sweet boy. 

He had a second wave of fever, yesterday morning.  It was low-grade.  Everything points to the flu.  Today, no fever.  No fever for either of us.  We are both doing and feeling much better, AGAIN! argh!  I actually was able to get the trash out and the dishes mostly done.  I’ve been cleaning, while Zane dances and plays.  I’m glad he’s feeling better.  Heck, I’m glad I feel better.

Our daughter is gaining her weight back, after a lot of hoopla (I’ll let Jennifer go into the details when she returns home).  Jennifer is doing exceptionally well.  Staples out, and released from hospital.  She is staying with our girl until she is released as well.  They (the doctor) is waiting for weight gain and some other minor things.  She gained back some weight lst night.  I assume her “noon weighing” will show she continued to gain. 

I got the carseat back together after washing it.  What a pain.  At least I understand now how to configure it for small babies. Woohoo.  Still waiting on the word whether someone will be by to pick it up, or if I must drive up there to drop it off.  They want to do a “Car Seat Challenge” before releasing her.  My understanding of it is this:  They’ll hook her up to monitoring devices and strap her in to the seat (at a 45 degree angle) for an hour.  They will monitor her to see if she can handle that degree angle during the hour.  If not, they’ll provide us with a car bed instead.  Oh the fun for everyone.

I have seen neither Jennifer nor my daughter since Friday 23rd (when she was born).  I miss both of them.   That’s why no new pics. 

Well, off to finish dishes.  Crank the tunes.
