The latest

I feel like I need to apologize...sorry to be so pitiful on my last post. Since then, I've received 2 meals, LOTS of loads of clothes done, 1 offer to do my shopping, 4 offers to babysit, 3 offers of whatever-I-need, and 2 offers to buy formula. Though I appreciate it all tremendously more than I can type, I feel guilty for making everyone feel like they have to help me. Each and every one of you has such a large plate full of responsibilities...I know that! I just needed to vent a little.

I also feel bad about making my husband feel bad about not being here much. I KNOW that he would love to be here as much as we would love him here. And he has his own work-related stress that he's dealing with too...basketball season is in full swing. Martin- I love you and I'm thankful for all that you do...and I respect your dedication and hard work in your job. Your players are very lucky...and we are too!

I am getting better at accepting the help, but I still feel guilty that it seems I was eliciting it myself. I know that everyone has busy lives, and God only puts on our plates what He thinks we can handle...I am thankful that He sent me so many angels to help with what's on my plate. One of my prayers is that I can one day repay all the generous help that has been provided and offered to me...whether it be to you all or to someone in my shoes. THANK YOU!

Lydia has been doing pretty well...eating plenty, but still crying at most feedings. We will see a new GI dr on Monday...I so pray that he will have more answers for us. Lydia doesn't seem to be in tremendous pain when she eats anymore, but it just doesn't seem comfortable to her...it is by-far not her favorite time of the day, as it is to most babies.

The new thyroid medication is much easier to give to her. She is barely bothered by it at all. Yeah!

We start a new baby massage class with Susan tomorrow morning. It will be every Saturday morning (not sure how long). From my understanding, Susan took a course on it and she is offering it to parents for free...we just have to write an evaluation on her after completing at least 4 classes. I am really excited about it. I think it will be great for Lydia...a great way to calm her nervous system...and some fun "Lydia and mommy time" No shots, no doctors, no interruptions...sounds nice. :)

Elise's first day back of speech therapy with Suzanne went great this morning! She was very impressed with Elise's progress...she said she has to learn her all over again. Suzanne stayed a little extra and took Elise for a walk (thank you) and she said that Elise was saying lots of things. Yeah Lisee-poo!

Aunt Leigh came over this afternoon to keep Elise and Lydia for me while I went to pick Audrey up from school. It was parent-teacher conference day and I had to go sign her IEP. On the way home, we stopped at Sonic for an ice cream...I thought she could use a good mommy and Audrey treat. She has still been pretty cranky and whiny at times, but we're working on it. Grandma came to get the two big girls to spend the night tonight so that Lydia and I could go to Martin's game and to massage class in the morning. That was a treat...for everyone I hope!

Wish I had better news about the Broncos...say some cheers for them...District play starts next week!
