It was a long 17 days, but we are home. Adam's dad is stable...he will probably not get any better than he is now, but for now they think that unless he has another stroke he will not get worse. The hard part is that in his state he still needs 24 hour care. I feel bad for my sil because she is all alone with him. I wish there was more we could do to help. I guess all we can do is pray that she has the strength to go on and the strength to ask her brother when she needs him.
Jacob and I went for our Madonna portraits...they turned out really nice...once I get to a scanner I will post some here.
Our 4 month old son had his 4 month shots today...oh how I hate that second shot...he screamed to loud it broke my heart. Luckily he was easily consoled once I picked him up. He weighs 14 LBS 4 ONZ is 25.5 inches long. His thighs are so chubby now and he almost has no wrists left! LOL. I love it.
We started him on rice cereal, vegtables, and fruits. He really likes the green peas and the bananas. Not so much the rice..unless we mix it with the bananas! Can't say I blame him though...it looks very gross on its own. He is still sleeping through the night and is now napping a lot better during the day. His gums have been really bothering him so we have been putting Anbesol on his gums, it really seems to help. Jacob is really the most pleasant babt I have ever meant. He is so easy to please and just so happy. I love being his mommy so much.
Our house is still for sale...we just replaced 1/3 of the roof on Tuesday so that makes the whole roof new. Adam is working on fixing the drywall hiccups and then next week my mom and I will be painting. I love painting so I can not wait. The couple that came through again and then again for a third time want to come back through once the work is completed so please keep your fingers crossed for us. There are a few houses that we like the look of...we will not allow ourselves to go into any of them until ours is sold because we do not want to get our hearts set on something. Our friends just bought a house down the street from one are interested in looking at if it is still available. It would be neat to be accross the street from them. They have a little guy who was born just 6 weeks after Jacob. I keep reminding myself that what will be will be...but it's hard for me not to get my hopes up.
I will keep you posted.
