Glo bug surgery pics

Glo Bug's eye the day after surgery

Waiting for the doctors to come get him for surgery

Knocking on the glass door for the FUN nurse to come back.

Glo Bug has had 3 eye surgeries this year. His left eye wasn't tracking with the right so the doctor was trying to move the left to match the right, on the first two surgeries. So this 3rd one, she decided to move the right eye to match the left, the one with a missing brow bone. This surgery seemed to make his eyes line up a bunch more often. It's not perfect but at least he can see straight ahead of him now. They will probably have to do another eye surgery after they fix his eyebrow, next year. But he's great for now!

Motorcycle diapers for Dragonfly

We got this motorcycle made of diapers and blankets plus a bottle as the gas tank, and socks for the handle bars! Sooo stinking cute.

Chris' shop at work made this for us. Such a great idea!

First bath

Dragonfly's first bath...in the kitchen sink!

Dragonfly 2 month stats

Dragonfly had his 2 month appt 11/29. He actually is suppose to be 2 weeks old. So they adjust his age by 6 weeks to allow for his growing time.

Height 19.5 inches (76% percentile for 1 month old)
Weight 9 lbs, 9oz (28%)
Head 15.5 inches (54%)

I can't believe that he has gained 4 lbs since we brought him home from the hospital! He is growing like a weed!!!
Anyone know a trick to stop this? I dont want him big yet!

Halloween

Meat

This is Chris' elk. We processed it ourselves. Chris spent over 20hours cutting, grinding or packaging his elk. We had Helpers, Jason and George. I helped some but it was hard to do and be 34 weeks along. Chris did it Wednesday and Thursday before I got med-a-vac'd to ABQ. This could be the reason my cervix shrank so much!! Oh well! We now have a freezer FULL of deer and elk meat. Chris is guessing over 300lbs of steak, hamburger and stew meat. Way to go, Honey!!

We are HOME!!!!

We are home! We got home Saturday evening. We surprised the boys. I've never been so grateful for my bed, my laundry room, food in the fridge and to be together with ALL my boys. We are taking it easy for a few. The doctors suggest we don't take Dragonfly out until his due date...Halloween. So it will be a few for church and anything else. Marie, my mother in law is here too, helping out with everything, I'm nervous about life after she leaves! I'll post more pictures in a few! What are you up to?

Chris brought this quilt for me to the hospital and I'm soooo grateful!! It was really nice to have the quilt I made especially for this time. I put it on my hospital bed every day we stayed there before I had Dragonfly and the 2 days after I had him. Chris slept on the bed, under the windows, which were really drafty so I would put the brown side out and put it over him. He didn't want the 'girly' quilt on his bed! LOL 

The nurses would come in to check on me and would ask about the quilt. It was a good conversation starter. I was/am really proud of it. It will get even better when I can wash it more. It's still a little too firm for my liking.

Soccer

*

This is Bee and his soccer uniform. The first picture is him counting how many times he kicked the ball. The second is him showing me his shoes. Third is him in the goalie. He got fired from being goalie shortly after this picture because he shared the ball....with the other team too. You can't get mad at him for sharing!! So he got to run around with the other kids instead of 'blocking' the goal. 

I'm a proud mommy to know that, at least sometimes, Bee can share! 

Bee got the bum deal out of me having Dragonfly. He isn't playing soccer anymore. His season ends October 15th. I'm hoping and praying that we are home for his last game. It's so sad when we pass a soccer field with kids and he asks to play. It breaks my heart. Hopefully we can sign him up for basketball or something in the winter season.
