| November 18, 2002 Hi everyone! I can't believe its been only two weeks and I am updating again. I never thought it would happen! We have all been doing well. Just trying to keep warm lately. I miss summer already and it's not even officially winter! We had our first snow fall saturday night. The boys were so excited but we crushed their hopes as the snow was very little and the ground was very wet, so we didnt want them trolloping outside. Now today its supposed to rain so I imagine all the snow will be gone soon. We had our carpets cleaned on friday. I was so happy to finally have them done. Not only are they much cleaner but they were able to get off a ton of the cat and dog hair stuck in the fibers. I think that contributed more to the dirty look in some places than the actual dirt. I had to take Bogey to the vet saturday as he has been mercilesly biting his skin. They put him on antibiotics, an anti-inflamitory and a new flea medication. They think he's either allergic to fleas or seasonal things. He was weighed while there and has gained 12 pounds in 2 months. He's now a whopping 97 pounds! Time for a diet maybe. Kiera went in to get her monthly weight check on friday and is down 3 ozs since last month. We have really been struggling with getting her to eat lately. She is teething too, so that is not helping I imagine. I will call her GI this week and see what he thinks. William is doing wonderfully. On friday he weighed in at 10 lbs 5 ozs. So he is gaining about a pound a week still. He has already grown out of some of his 0-3 month clothing. last night he ate last at 10:30 and didnt wake up again to eat til 4:15 am! Praise God for little blessings. Up until now he has had a rigid every 3 hour schedule at night. I actually got up last night at 3:30 and checked on him to make sure he was alright. Then just to add to the blessing. After I fed him and put him back down at 4:50am he went back to sleep. Normally after that time of morning we have to bring him into our bed if I plan on getting anymore sleep. I think God knew I needed the break as I had gotten sick this weekend. I am nursing a very sore throat. Jason goes on friday to have a hearing test. He passed the screening a year ago at the doctors office but he seems to not hear things alot so we want to be sure its just Jasons own spacey ways and not a bigger problem. We are all looking forward to going up north next week. I can't wait to see the family and Doug and Jason are dreaming of snow. They'll be terribly dissapointed if it is still green. Well, William just started crying so I am off to fetch him. I hope everyone has a blessed week and a wonderful thanksgiving holiday! Love, Jenna |
