Dating

Appleseed's belly scar was infected. It looks a lot better now that I got some puss out. Poor guy must think tummy aches are just a part of life.Butterball and I had a date. We got up and watched the city workers build a new side walk at Grandpa's house. We had a really good time. And Grandpa even came out to watch with us.The cement machine was super loud!Butterbean went on a date with her Dad to go deliver some stuff to her grandparents. He had a surprise waiting for her there. Here is Butterbean on the new ATV. She had a wonderful time cruising on that thing. We have it set to go under 5 mph which is nice. Her arms hurt that night from riding it.

It is supposed to have a hole?!!?

Today was wick removal day. So I did and he HAS A HOLE!!! I called the doctor's office and they said that was fine. Maybe they should warn the mothers about that! They also said he could get it wet. Ewwww! I may wait on that. As I was waiting for the doctor's office to answer I noticed his discharge instructions said, No alcohol for 24 hours after surgery. Is it that bad they have to include that on a babies discharge paperwork?

New bellybutton

I have decided that his tongue was attached to the belly button some how. Because now that the belly button is an innie is tongue is an outie. He is always playing with it by sticking it in and out. It is the cutest thing.Here is his new flat looking belly with the bandage on. It gave me the heebee jeebees to take that thing off. It was stuck very well too so I was glad that he didn't cry while I took it off. I was not ready to see what was underneath so it was just creeping me out.

Here is what it looks like right now. EEWWWWWWW! It has a gauze wick in there that I have to pull out on Thursday. That will really freak me out. When my daughter saw his belly she said, "Ewww that is gross. I do not like that at all!" I have to agree with her. I know I will love his new belly later but right now it kind of freaks me out. And I am so afraid of touching his tummy right now. He is still in a lot of pain and when that pain killer wears off he cries so hard. It breaks my heart. He still is not eating much so I hope when the pain goes away that he will start.

We took care of my sister's daughter today. My kids love having her kids come over and were very excited. She was hungry so I decided to feed her dinner as we had just finished. She took one look at it and said, "Ewww, I don't like this dinner." I told her she had to at least try it. And this is the face I got. So she then decided she didn't want to eat dinner at our house. Later on she came back and asked to eat the chicken. So I got her some and she ate it. By the 3rd serving she said, "I like this chicken but only a little." We had rice and peas with it. She said she likes rice and peas but not like that, she likes them separate. And she likes chicken but not with sauce on it. She is funny.

Nervous wreck!

My baby has his surgery for his hernia tomorrow morning. I have to stop feeding him at 3:30 AM. I am hoping they get us right in for the surgery because it will break my heart to hold him waiting with him starving. Poor thing. I have been a wreck. I just keep snacking and praying. I just don't want my baby to have to go through this and keep wondering if we are doing the right thing. It actually looks a lot smaller now because he got so fat in the month since we decided to do this. But you can tell where his skin stretched out to make him a huge outie. Poor guy.

This is my couch potatoes. Even Appleseed got in the action. I know I should have not let them all be in the same room. Right after that I opened the door and windows and stuck them back in their rooms.
