Updates

Well, not much is going on really. Caden's still doing pretty good. No coughs or sneezes lately. YAY!!! I don't know if I posted this already or not, but he's started doing this REALLY cute thing!

We usually get him all ready for bed and let him play in the living room for a half an hour or so. Around 8:30, we'll ask him "Caden are you ready for nite nite?" and he'll go find his blankie and walk to his room. We get his binkie and water and meet him there. Then we pick him up and set him in the middle of the crib and he stretches to give us kisses. Then he waves at us while yelling "Nite Nite!" He says it over and over. We turn off the light, close the door, and head back to the living room. He yells it a few times more, and then goes to sleep. We still have the monitor in his room (paranoia? Maybe) and you can hear him over it just wishing everyone good nite. He's so sweet!

He goes to the cardiologist on Monday. It's been six months already. I really think she's going to be impressed with him. He's doing so good. He's not sweating or sleeping a lot. He's pretty active all the time, and he's just doing great all the way around. I think his heart is doing great. I think it may have something to do with the double stitching Dr. O'Brien did on his last patch he got. I hope she'll lower his meds or stop one of them, or at least tell us not to come back for 6-9-12 more months. Hopefully 12, but I'm betting on 6 (like now) or 9. We'll see.

He goes in for his first Synagis shot on Tuesday. Blah. He hates shots, and I don't blame him. It's actually two shots.

He's going to be two in a few weeks!!! Eeeeeek! We need to figure out something to do for his birthday. I think we're going to take him bowling. He loves balls and knocking things over, so as long as he doesn't run down the lane, I think it'll be a big hit. :)

I don't know how many of you read my blog, but Paul and I did go to meet with a lawyer the other day. I don't want to get into it again, but if you want you can read it on my blog.

I'll let you know how the cardiologist goes.

Not much to report

Caden's been doing pretty good. He's had some allergies. Sneezing and a little bit of coughing. He's not had labored breathing or anything, so I we're not too worried. He's got a cardiology appointment on the 3rd of November. I can't believe it's been 6 months already. WOW Time flies. I hope she tells us that we can quit one of the meds and go a year between appointments this time. I really hate going to the cardiologist. I'm sure Caden hates it more.

We're going to the pumpkin patch tonight. I charged up the batteries in the camera so that I could take a bunch of ictures. I'll have to post them. I'll try to remember to have Paul take some preggo pics of me too. I'm 27 weeks today. He's getting big enough that from the outside, you can feel his foot going across my stomach. He's big. I know he is. A little monkey. An adorable monkey. I think Caden's a monkey too. Just so cute.

He's been doing this absolutely adorable thing lately. At night, when it's time for him to go to bed, we say "Caden, lets go night-night." He goes to find his blankie, we get his binky and his water, and we all meet in his room. He stands there, ready for the crib. Paul picks him up, sets him in the middle of the crib, and we all say goodnight. It's so cute, cause he sits there, waving, saying "nite-nite" over and over. W say it back a couple of times. Then we turn off the light and close the door. Over the monitor, you can hear him for another few minutes, saying "nite-nite." But he kind of screams it. It's so cute! He doesn't throw a fit anymore. Even if we do it a little bit before bedtime, he's still okay with it.

He's such a sweetie. I'll try to remember to post pics soon.
