Brennon's my Grasshopper
I can't believe I slept through the night. I don't think Brennon did. Holly got up and took care of him. I think I like having the mom not working. It gives her time to take care of him, because we both know that it is alot of work. So the doctor told us to try to keep him awake during the day. I think we can do that. I figured out that by moving him when he gets tired will wake him up. Tickling his feet helps too. The doctor said Brennon is doing just fine. He told Holly if Brennon is straining too much to give him a little prune juice. Brennons umbilical cord still hasn't fallen off so we are now swabbing it with antiseptic. It looks like a little grasshopper attached to his belly. Eww. Anyways, he is still so cute.
I plan to do a photoshoot this weekend and upload more pics, although I do have to work on Saturday and Sunday. I am glad I do get paid for overtime even though I am on salary. That helps out. I am also glad I can work from home so it is not that bad. We are basically homebound anyways. At least one of us needs to stay home with the baby. I guess that is why I am watching more TV. We are also saving money in that we are not going out to eat on weekends. Some weekends we would spend at least $100 on food and fun. Now it is like, what's on TV?
We have also been very blessed this week in other ways. Our Sunday School class setup a Care Calendar for us. What that is is a calendar for friends to go to and sign up to bring us dinner. Don't worry, I told them all I don't like veggies. So every day this week someone has come over and brought us food. We've had lasagna and chicken fajitas and chicken spaghetti and boston market chicken. I think I have also lost some weight going to an all chicken diet. It does help because we don't have time to cook full fledged meals. Although I do have to admit, I was eating microwave pizzas for months so it is not that hard to prepare. That is a good benefit of belonging to a church, having a support group of people who care about you. To have a group of people do something for you when not asked is a testament of faith and friendship. Those are good things to have and we are very thankful. Everyone have a good weekend!
