The Jist of July

*Jimmy was up to 9 lb 13 ozs at five weeks... chubby baby.

*2 days after they opened my c-section b/c of infection, we found that we all had lice, and I had a mini melt down.  What a nightmare.  I was beyond stressed and decided to give up breast feeding, in order to reduce my stress.  I have since rid the house of lice, am in less pain at my wound, and have resumed breast feeding, though we do bottles sometimes to give me a break.  Jimmy's doing fine switching between the two... whew!  And, I have finally bonded with him!!

*Jackson talks up a storm... he actually never stops!  He talks in full sentences, using the correct prepositions.  And he loves to sing.  His favorite is the Superman musical song and Ba Ba Black Sheep... he often sings his own lyrics to the songs to relate to what he is doing or thinking.  Some of my favorite words that he still mixes up are...  "mort" (more), "peppa ne oni", "loo" (you), " . He also still LOVES to get into super hero character... Superman is def. his favorite and he likes Spiderman too.  He pretends that toys are planes and tells us that Gma and Gpa are either coming or going.  Then he pretends to cry when they "go".  He's got quite an imagination.

*Jennibelle is a good swimmer this summer and even went on a roller coaster a few times at Hershey Park - the Trail Blazer.  She loved that Serenity went to VBS with her this year.  

*Jason is moving back to sales at Dempsey.  His boss in Service has screwed him over and our bank account over too many times.  Hopefully, it will happen before September.  He's also taking online Realtor courses, so that he can do that part time and hopefully I will only have to work very part time.

*We still don't know if we've gotten the house or not... the bank is dragging it's feet.  Luckily, the interest rates are starting to come back down a little. 

*Jaylee has been a huge help, esp. since the baby was born.  She plays with Jack outside everyday and keeps him entertained.  She also does the dishes now - HOORAY!
*I've decided to stop my Lovenox shots at 6 weeks and 3 days, rather than the eight weeks that the Drs suggested... they are a pain in the butt!!!!  I'll feel awful if I keal over from a PE tomorrow!

*Jenni and I were driving down the street - 50 mph- and she nonchalantly puts my phone out the window, and there it went...    WTH?!?  Luckily, we found it on the side of the road.
*Paisley was born on the 19th.  "Picture Perfect Delivery". Not fair...
*I wonder why I insist that each baby is going to randomly stop breathing?  I am constantly checking on Jimmy...

Cellulitis

Oh, for pity's sake... 

And one week later, it opened on its own b/c of an abscess, so my OB cut another four inches open and drained it.  A CT confirmed that the abscess was superficial and it's just a lower layer of fat sticking out, not bowel, so it will be left open to heal. she says we can fix the scar in one year.

OUCH!!!

Feeling pretty gross right about now!

**It's been 2 weeks since they opened it up and it is healing slowly.  still on antibiotics, still a little slimy, but it's closing up and isn't painful anymore - yay!

***It's been probably 5 weeks now... the left side would not heal so it had to be stitched again... twice.  I had another CT yest (8/12) b/c it became sore and the right side was blue... turns out it was a hematoma that opened up last night while I slept.  I am being sent to the wound clinic.
