Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds;
and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
Matthew 7:7-8
Luke's developmental follow-up visit at the NICU went well today & he has reached a milestone.....DOUBLE DIGITS in the weight category!!! We are beginning to wean him from the caffeine and his vitamin D is discontinued. He sometimes sleeps 5 straight hours at night. We still do kangaroo care and there is no sweeter smell than the top of his head. He will be 5 months old tomorrow...hard to believe! Those 2 months in the NICU were grueling and the days seemed to crawl along...the 3 months since he's been home have flown by.
Jeff has been very busy working on his business plan for the State Farm Agent application process. He'll go before a panel of interviewers at the end of April to present his business plan and hopefully enter the pool to qualify for an agency of his very own.
Addy-cakes is a growing girl and very busy...she is still very fond of her baby brother and loves covering him with kisses. We were headed out to my grandmother's house for lunch last Sunday and would you believe we passed a turtle crossing the road? Da-Da decided to turn around and go see if it was our friend Egg. When Da-Da picked him up a strange yellow substance dripped from the underside of his shell...we let him ride in the back of the truck the rest of the trip. Addy was convinced it was Egg but Da-Da said we would have to inspect him a little closer to be sure it wasn't Egg's mean brother who has claws and bites. Cousins Gabe and Rachel were at Grandma's and they were an excellent distraction for Addy so that yellow-substance-drippy-turtle could do what turtles do best and that's bury themselves in the grass and get lost.
Monday I started back to work at a brand new job. I am doing home health now with Synergy Home Care. I look forward to holidays and weekends off as well as day to day flexibility for whatever mommyhood throws my way. Boy oh boy do I miss staying in my jammies all day rocking Luke & watching Ellen...HELLO real world! I managed to throw away our tax refund check this week. In the 8 years we have been married we have never received a refund. This year we literally felt like we hit the jackpot...we were GETTING MONEY BACK!!!! Yep...and I accidentally threw the check in the trash can. Threw it away Monday...City trash pick-up was Tuesday.
