The Garage is Whole Again!

Finally, after what ... a month ... they have come and fixed our garage. Well mostly. They need to replace the garage door itself - it looks fine and is closed now, but it can't open and close so well anymore. SO that will be another 3 weeks or so. Poor Hubby's been parking in the driveway but at least we have a CLOSED door vs. a huge silver tarp to keep the elements out.

Now I can feel like less of a fool.

Meanwhile the boy is doing really well with his adjustment to daycare. Mrs. J told me "he was a dream" today. Very nice to hear. He is SUPER smiley now. The girl is showing her first signs of big sis distress. I guues the onset was a little slow but she definitely has some mixed feelings about her new bro and all the attention he enjoys. Nothing major but a little bit of strong emotion. She's not quite sure that she "has room in her heart for him" :( I am sure it will all be fine. Someday.

My Car is Back!

One step toward erasing my recent car/house incident. My car returned looking better than ever today. Thank you Mr. Spoiler. If anyone ever needs body work he is the BEST. Meticulous. He even detailed my car. I mean it is cleaner than it was when I brought it home from the dealer. It looks brand spanking new.

In addition because he likes my husband he came and picked it up and brought it back. What other body shop do you know that does pickup and delivery? He is WAY out in BFE Manassas, so we were not going to have him do the work because hauling 2 kids to Manassas twice is not my idea of fun. He got word of the accident though our mechanic/friend, Paul. When he did he called my hubby and offered to come get it. Talk about service!

I am just glad its back! Wheeeeeeeeellllllss are a good thing!

The Roof is Leaking...

Even the baby has had enough!

The RAIN needs to stop!


As if it wasn't enough that I ran into my own house with my own car. Should have the car back this weekend, the house ... well we are still waiting on that work to start. But now, the roof/ceiling in the living room is leaking. I think I am heading for a nervous break down...seriously!

On a better note....the baby boy is doing better, well other than this 6 week growth spurt thing that apparently makes them want to eat constantly and be held. Docile boy has become grumpy. "THEY" say it only lasts a couple of days and this is day 2 ... but I don't remember this with the girl. Most likely because my memory is dull, not because it didn't happen.

Anyway, we went to the Pediatric GI on Tuesday and he was nice and not too concerned. Wants us to keep on the special (not the SPECIAL SPECIAL) formula for at least a month. That's good new to the wallet. For now. Went to see Dr. G, the regular ped, yesterday and he was happy with how he is looking. He's GAINING weight and he's less anemic. YAY!

In the middle there I had my 6 week check-up and all was well with that as well. I head back in May for my annual check-up and the boy heads back in 2 weeks for his 2 month check. I can't believe he's 1 1/2 months old already. Seems like a blink and an eternity all at the same time. How is that?

Update on Doc Appts & Car Accident!

So update on the boy. We returned to the doctor on last Thursday to find that there is still blood in the stool even after a week on the special formula. So now, we are supposed to try another special (REALLY special - as in order from the factory costs 3xs as much special) formula called Neocate. When we saw Dr. G on Thursday he wanted us to go that day for an abdominal xray to be safe. X-Ray was fine. He seems to be doing better over the weekend and today so far. We'll see.

We are going to see a pediatric GI doc on Tuesday and back to Dr. G on Thursday for another check of things. After all we've been through I am just a little hypervigilant, which is making me a little hyperanxious. So much so that I was in tears on Friday prompting my mom to come visit! She's been here almost every weekend since he came home!

Oh and did I mention my car accident? The one where I ran into my own house? Yeah, that's right. If you are going to have an accident do it right. Make sure you have your home owners policy and your car policy in full effect first! Car is getting fixed now, I should have it back by Friday. House ... well they are dragging their feet a bit, though the contractor promised the estimate would be in State Farm's hands by today. When will work start? I don't know, but I will feel like a total moron until its fixed. Hey the garage trim needed painting anyway, this way it gets replaced! I am trying to not be too hard on myself, I know my mind was just in 1000 other places. I am just lucky I didn't have a headon at 60 miles per hour because I was in a total fog that day!

The extra hours of sunlight should help & the fact that its gonna be near 70 this week! Come on SPRING!
