MAC & Dr's

So if you know me or you have read this blog you know that a couple months ago i spilled soda on my new Macbook and killed it. We took it to Apple and they told me there was nothing they could do. I was so upset because there were pictures of Henry on there that we had not backed up. Fast forward to last week, we finally decided to order a new one. It was delivered yesterday, I was soooo excited. I waited all day to have some free time to open it up. After I put Bella to bed I finally got my chance. I was sitting at the dining room table playing around when Jamie in. He picked up our dead Apple and jokingly said "this one is mine" and then he hit the on button. He jumped back....the thing had turned on! Now, honestly we tried to turn it on 100's of times in the past couple of months, hoping that something like that would happen. It took buying a new one for it to work! LOL We were so happy, everything was still on there, we did not lose any of the photos!! Now Jamie really can have a Mac of his own ;) That's good, because we are not very good at sharing computers!!

HENRY & BELLA AT THE DR'S OFFICE


Henry has been busy with Dr's appts. Last Thursday we went to the Pediatrician for his RSV vaccination, thank God it finally came in. He weighed 8 lbs 9oz. Friday we went to the Retina Specialist, he said his eyes are the same (which is good) and to come back next week. Yesterday he went to the GI specialist, she increased his Prevacid, which will hopefully will help with the reflux. She said it usually takes about 2 weeks for any benefits to really be noticed. She wants us to see a Feeding Specialist/Speech Pathologist. Henry and alot of preemies tend to always be pushing things out of their mouth, so when he is eating a lot of formula is being pushed back out and he is having trouble keeping the binkie in. At that appt he weighted 9 1/2 lbs!!! He is gaining so quickly! I can't imagine what his weight would be if he wasn't puking half of it up ;)

HENRY'S 1ST PEDIATRICIAN APPT




Today we saw a Pulminologist, she said she heard some wheezing but his lungs sounded clear, which is awesome. He has a slight cough as well so she decided to put him back on a Nebulizer. He is having surgery in a couple of weeks for his hernia and she wants him in the best condition possible before then. She said we really need to continue limiting the number of people he is around and those that are must wash their hands every time before they hold him. I think my hands might just shrivel up and fall off soon from all the washing. Although he looks awesome he really still is a sick kid and it's good that someone reminds us of that so we don't get to relaxed in how we handle him.

HENRY AT THE EYE DR'S

No Dr's appointments tomorrow..WOO HOO! Friday we have the eye dr and then we go to Blythdale for his medical evaluation for Early Intervention.

Bella has been amazing through all of this. She really seems to love him...when she is paying attention! She loves to use his swing for her dolls, lol. She is tall enough now that she gets on her tippy toes to look at him in the pack and play..it's too cute. No matter how tired I am she can still get me to laugh, she is hilarious and has so much energy it's amazing. I wish we could put her in some kind of tumbling classes, I think she would LOVE it, but they want us to limit the amount of activity outside the house and interaction she has with other little kids at least until the winter is over. Today my mom and I took her to the mall and let her wander around, she loves her freedom..as Im sure most kids do.

I recognize that sleeper and the snow suit! It's amazing how so many preemie moms have the same outfits. :)

So glad things are going well!
