updates

I finally saw Twilight! haha... good movie. Already called it about the NA boy... even PJ liked the movie. My MIL read the whole series and so did her girlfriends, so we had a Twilight girl's night. Good food and a good movie was just the way to go... except for one thing. My lovely son Julius kept me from watching the whole movie. Yes, I tried to BF him while watching, but then he would cry and grunt and he was hungry twice. Then, he had to be changed, twice, and burped... therefore, I missed parts of the movie.
Julius is eating well and his "peanut" is healing very well. The sad thing is that he will be getting his kidneys checked because there is too much fluid around them. This means he has to get a catheter/tube stuck through the hole and up to his kidneys, plus the numbing medicine. I hate putting him through pain, it is horrible to see it. He has been peeing really well so I don't know why we have to check it! I'd rather be safe than sorry though. That will be on Tuesday at 1:15pm.
The daffodil parade is this Saturday and I have to go all day. I have a test that morning for two hours and then the parade is from 11:30-6:30pm. What am I suppose to do? BF while walking in the parade?!! ha... who knows, that will be an adventure in itself. Then that night I am going bowling for Deborah's birthday around 8 or 9pm... Sunday will truly be the day of rest! Then starting Monday, I have my 6 week check up... we will see how I am doing with that! After is cheer tryouts for the week of April 6th and we do not have that many girls trying out. How am I suppose to start fresh and optimistic if there isn't anyone trying out?! Personally, I don't think it was advertised enough, but we will have to wait and see I guess. I have high hopes for this upcoming year so please pray it starts out right.
PJ is still in the background check for the Boarder Patrol... we pray everyday that God works with them and gives him the job that he needs. As of right now, times are truly hard and we are so thankful we have both set of parents here to help us out. Well, that should be all the updates we have right now... post a message so I know you stopped by!

Julius Paul... my blessing!

My Julius always sleeps with his hands up.

Daddy loves his Mariners blanketHe hates being swaddled!

Sleeping with his hand again. so cute!

First day at church at 2 weeks and 1 day old.

It is hard being a first time mom... I thought I would be fine because I have 9 nieces and nephews so I thought I knew everything... I forgot about being the one who has to breastfeed... no one can do that for me. (I wish they could though!) I actually love it because it is the time I get to bond and look into his beautiful eyes. I think that becoming a mom has been the best thing that has happened to me... I simply adore my son and could never think of going back to our family just being two. That is, until Julius is a teenager! haha
