Yesterday, a nurse from Precious Beginnings Home Care from Kettering Hospital came by for my home visit. She asked me a bunch of questions about how things are going with me and Piglet. Then she weighed Piglet, who is now up to 5 lbs. 7 oz. After the nurse left, hubby and I got ready to go do some Christmas shopping. As we're driving down the street, we pass a van with Santa Clause driving. The funny thing is that he was a very real looking Santa and hubby and I both said "Santa" at the same time. It was funny! Anyway, we are only buying for our immediate family and it's a very small amount at that. We just went to Target and Walmart and I got the majority of what I needed. We stopped and picked up Taco Bell on our way home for lunch. We got home and I fed Piglet and then my brother (RightRev) came over to see her since he was off yesterday. He helped me get the links on my blog finally!!!!! Thanks, RightRev!!!!
My dad stopped by on his way to PT practice to pick up SebbieDue's dishes to take to her and he finally got to see Piglet wide awake. He was sooooo excited! Oh, and he said "Hi" to us on his way out...LOL. We're already used to being second to Piglet. Then my dad stopped by again on his way home to drop off a few gifts. One being from my Secret Sister....HBM!!!!! What a sneakster! I was convinced it was her up until my church baby shower where there was a gift from my Secret Sister that said "Sorry I couldn't be there"....liar liar! :) She threw me off from there. HBM, you were the best Secret Sister I've ever had and I mean that!
Piglet was insatiable last night! I fed her off and on for 2 hours straight! Finally when we were trying to go to bed (around 11:30) hubby gave her 1 oz. of formula and she slurped that down and went to sleep! She slept well last night though. Almost 3 hours between feedings. I got up this morning and straightened up a bit, did the dishes, threw some laundry in, gave Piglet a bath and took a shower. My friend from high school who I'll call KC, came over and brought us Panera for lunch. She lives in Minnesota and comes home once or twice a year for holidays, so we always try to get together. She knitted a cute hat for Piglet. (Yes, another knitter! You people are everywhere!!!! ) Here's a little tidbit for you... I doubt any of you know this, but KC and I went to high school with Boss's daughter, so I was telling her about Boss having a new grandson on the way....small world, huh? Boss lives in the same neighborhood as KC's parents. Like you really cared....
Now I really need to try and fold some laundry....scratch that. Piglet's crying. Hope everyone is well!

I'm so glad that you wrote! Piglet is doing great on weight!!! And get used to it! I just got off the phone with my dad and he said that he forgot to buy Hubby and I anything for Christmas....every time he goes he buys Pita Pocket something! I told him just to write me a check! LOL! I'm sure he didn't forget, but I'm SURE Pita Pocket will have toys for the rest of his life!!!!! It's tough being the only grandchild on BOTH sides!
Missed you at practice. Just not the same without you!
Glad your blood pressure is down. Maybe it gets high because you're nervous about going to the doctor!
Okay, not my journal! Lots of Love!
Glad to hear your BP is going well :) And, that Piglet is gaining like she should :) It's GREAT that she's sleeping so well at night, too!! LOL :) I remember the 1st time Princess actually slept through the night (around 1 1/2-2mos), I woke up startled, and ran into her room to check on her!! LOL After I was sure she was OK, that's never happened since!! LOL!!
I'd better go...I miss doing the Secret Sister thing!! I'd love to start that up with our ladies at church, but there's not really a "ladies group" so I don't know how to go about it...Okay, NMJ :)
Talk to ya later!! :)
Hope you can get off your BP meds soon! That would be great. Isn't Precious Beginnings HC wonderful? I think I met all the nurses during CLWs bout w/ jaundice. They're all so nice.
Santa?! He's a little early, isn't he? I better get to hoppin'!
Yes, your dad couldn't stop talking about seeing her little eyes! He was so excited! Just beaming! Made me all warm and fuzzy inside!!!
I didn't know that about you and Boss's daughter! Glad you got an increase in your sleep rations! Enjoy!
Much love and Christmas blessings!!!
I have missed you!!! I am so glad to hear that Piglet is gaining weight and doing well! Cherish every moment you have with her because it goes by so fast!!!
Your dad was cracking me up!!! But you know what?!?! He is just as proud of you as he is of her. He was talking about when you were a baby...and his eyes just light up. What a great dad and grandpa! My dad always makes a point to hug me every time he sees me now.....since I am just the mother of his grandkids!!! :)
Love ya and glad to hear that things are going well!!!! Give Piglet a hug for me!
Yea for weight!!!!!!!!! One of the few times in her life that it is soo great to gain all the weight she can....now she just has to wait until she has babies herself. Ok that sounded kinda creepy. Glad she's getting "chubby". Isn't it great to have great daddys. When I had Pretty my daddy was showing everyone who would listen her pic and it got so worn I had to give him a new one. Now I have to give him all the wallets we get for pictures and he just loves on my girls and they love him. I only wish we saw them more.
Lots of love!!
