Getting over it
We are all getting over this nasty cold we had. Damon did end up getting it too, but he is ok so we are grateful for that. Thanks for all your prayers. It's so cold here, around 20 degrees today. I can't wait for spring and summer. I have always preferred cold weather, but I have been converted. The cold makes me feel so trapped. Plus our house is really drafty so I we always have to keep the heat turned up and our gas bills would be rediculous if it weren't for even pay.
The nurse came today and Damon weighed 9lbs 13oz. I thought he would have weighed more, but his body has probably been using all it's energy on fighting this cold so I bet by next week he will be up to 10lbs. He has to get another synegis shot next week too. I'm not sure but I am hoping this will be the next to last one. He only has to get it during the cold/flu season. I hate it when he has to get that shot, it's an awfully big needle for such a small leg.
Yesterday something cute happened. I think I've mentioned before that whenever Damon sneezes he makes this really cute sound afterward. Well yesterday Myles and I were picking up his toys and Damon was across the room in his swing and he sneezed. This time when he made his sound it sounded like he said "uh oh". Myles looked up at me and smiled great big and said "Did you hear Damon, he said uh oh."
Today we took some pictures so I'm going to try to get them on the flickr icon today. It takes awhile on our computer so we'll see. What else....oh I quit pumping which is very releaving. It's kinda bittersweet though. I thought long and hard about when I wanted to quit and at first I felt really guilty, but I got over it and came to the realization that a lesser woman wouldn't have even bothered and just fed him formula so I feel pretty good about myself. Plus it's so nice to be able to go somewhere and not have to rush home so I can pump. Plus we have a LOT of milk frozen and we've started to mix it w/ formula so it should last for a while.
Talk to you all later. Please continue to pray for us, we still need your prayers.
