Merry Christmas~And all that jazz!

Wow so things have been wonderful with TJ home. I can't believe how quickly the time has come on gone. Christmas is acutally over! Bummer...but this was a fun year with the little man. TJ got his first Christmas presents. Not that he will ever remember, but its the thought that counts :D We have had so much fun but have been pretty lazy so theres not very many pictures to post. Our day mainly consists of Tim heading off to work and TJ and I hanging out at the pad watching TV and sleeping (he sleeps more than me tho lol) Once again I am anxious for the next step. I am super excited for us to be able to live "normally" and take TJ everywhere we want to go. I have taken him out a few times, but mostly just to the Grandparent's. Not a lot of exciting things have happend in the last week. TJ's feeding tube has gotten clogged a few times and he pulled it out once. So we've gotten to make a few more trips up to Primary Children's ER. Thats always fun lol. I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong to make it clog so much. When he was at the hospital he had the same tube for over a month, but everytime I turn around the stupid thing is clogged again. They even gave me some enzymes to flush it with to hopefully help it stay clean, but somehow it manages to keep clogging. I started flushing it every 3 hours to see if that would help, but no such luck it still has gotten clogged. Oh well, such is life! Tim and I are working on getting a temple date again, it will probably be around March or April (after RSV season) and the blessing will be soon, but most likely just at our house. I'll keep everyone posted. Well I will try to post some of our more recent pictures later today. Love you all!

Just Being Mommy

So I can't believe it has been two weeks since I last posted anything! I am sure lame haha. Things have been good, I have just been enjoying being mommy FINALLY! TJ is so amazing. I feel so spoiled cuz he already sleeps through the night, doesn't ever spit up, and I don't even have to feed or burp him haha. I just fill his little bag for his feeding tube every four hours and then I pretty much just play with him all day...or atleast the hour at a time that he is awake. He's a sleeper! And I'm not complaining about it :D He just had his second check up on Wednesday and guess what.....HE'S 10 LBS 2 OZ! He's huge! I can hardly believe it! He was only 3lbs 13oz when he was born and now hes triple that! I am shocked! He looks so great and the doctor said he moves and responds just like a 3 monther! He's 3 months old! It seriously just blows me away how time has flown. It was so hard having him in the hospital and dealing with all that stress, but now it seems like a small flash in time since he's finally home with us. We have been having so much fun and I have some pictures that I realized never got posted so here it goes!

Hangin with Daddy

TJ loves his Daddy. Daddy loves his little boy...and they both love watchin football on the big screen haha :D

P.S. The baby shower is now at Grandmom Lisa's house :D

Hospital Visit Again :(

Bummer! I had to take TJ back up to Primary Children's again today. We have to flush water through his feeding tube every 4 hours so to help prevent clogging. This morning when I went to flush it I could not get it to work. I tried for almost to hours and eventually decided it was definately clogged. So up we went to the hospital to get that fixed. I was kinda bummed about having to take him back so soon, but grateful that all they needed to do was replace the tube and he was all mine again :D Tim's mom Lisa went up with me and got some great pictures while we waited (I think we were at the hospital for 5 hours, the actual procedure took 10 minutes). I can totally appreciate your post Misty a few weeks ago about the ER. Why does it always take a RIDICULOUS amount of time? We'll never know.....
I just love my sweet little angel..and he was extremely calm considering he hadn't eaten since 6:30 am and it was now 3....stupid...but he did well and he's ok and hopefully we don't have to go back up there for awhile. Its so great to have him with us!

Milo loves his new little buddy. Its amazing to see how he reacts when TJ starts to cry. Its like he wants to do something to help, its sooo cute! I keep seeing him snuggle up next to him it so funny. I still am really cautious and don't leave TJ anywhere that Milo could go pounce on him cuz I'm not 100% sure that he won't hurt him, even just accidentally. But he really is such a sweet little puppy and I think he really is super interested in who or what TJ is.

*HE'S HOME*

My beautiful baby boy is finally home! He is such an angel :D I ment to take lots and lots of pictures, but as luck would have it I left my purse w/ my camera in my mom's car. So I have like one picture haha. And there are so many people I ment to call to share the good news with personally, but for I think the 3rd time in my life I lost my cell phone! Bummer I loved that phone too. I guess I dropped it somewhere on the field where we had the Turkey Bowl. Tim and I went to look for it but no good. Lucky his dad works for Sprint so he can just hook us up with another phone. So if everyone could just email me their number. Or I think Tim is going to pick up the phone tonight, so if you want to text it to me, or just call me that would be great too haha. My number is staying the same so no worries there.

Anyways! TJ is amazing. And I am so so glad that I finally get to play mom with him. He is home on the NJ tube which runs from his nose (N) to his jajunum, or small intestine (J). Its kind of a dangerous thing for him to be home with. They don't usually send babies home with NJ tubes because its kind of a big deal if he pulls it out. So we have to be really careful and watch him so he doesn't grab it. If it does happen to come out then we get to rush up to the hospital so they can replace it. He also is home on a heart monitor. Mostly just for peace of mind. They said if we were right there with him watching him then he probably doesn't need to have it on. But its really nice to have at night cuz if not I think Tim and I would have taken rounds just staring at him all night haha. His going home weight was 8 lbs 13 oz which I believe was the same weight as his cousin Luke was when he was born..correct me if I'm wrong Lace! Well all is great here and we are just so happy to finally have that little guy home with us.

FYI- Baby Shower Dec. 13th (Saturday) 1:00 at my place :D
Milo checkin stuff out. There are a lot of new smells in this little basket :)
