11 Months Down....Nathan Update (Heavy Pics)

Thanks my sweet sweet Beth....I do the long update as I have not even started Nathan's baby book yet so I will use it as my notes :) Sorry it is so long....

I know...I cannot believe he is almost one...I am in denial.....

I loved the pulmonologist...the office staff needs a little more organizing but he is amazing....and I love Nathan's new treatment process.....

Yea, Nathan loves his piggies out....I do too....and my family does too....but I am just worried he will get cold in the winter.....ugh!!!

We need to get the kids togegther....really...we do....or atleast us

I love the pictures - especially the one where he's laying on his belly propped up on his arms...in the jean shorts, to the left of the cowboy outfit?  He looks so much like a little man there!  If you think the first 11 MONTHS went fast...wait until he's 14 YEARS.  I still can't believe MY baby is 14 1/2 years old! 

Hey my friend.....

Thanks so much....he does look like a little man....boooo hooooo....when Nate gets here we need to get his haircut...he is growing a mullet :) with curls...lol....

That pic you mentioned is priceless...he was whining....I will save that one forever....lol....

Hope you are doing well....you are in my thoughts and prayers!!!!

 He is just adorable!  I noticed the carseat in there and I'm looking at the same one.  How do you like it??

Hey There....

Thanks so much....he is my joy and makes me smile so much.....what a character he is.....

I LOVE the Graco Metrolite system....in fact I FINALLY traded it out for the Snug Ride today (that was a biotch to do myself..lol...mainly the stupid latch was  not unlatching...) I digress...but I loved the set....I had to get that online....but loved it....it is a lite one and not heavy.....5 stars from me :)

Take care!

He is just sooo cute !!   I love the sock thing.... makes me laugh every time you tell the "sock bandit" stories! 

I need one of those duckie things for Cooper -- it might solve my bathtub dilemma I have. 

Thanks for sharing !!!

Thank you so much!!! Yea, his foot fetish still worries me a bit....I am worried about the winter.....even shoes I put on he takes off.....ugh....daycare is trying to help me out by saying NO when he goes for it....I think it may be getting a little better....but this week at daycare he crawled over to this little girl, put her feet on his lap and ripped her socks off....omg.....

And one thing I did not put in the update is he seems obsessed with anything but toys....as I type this he just crawled to my purse (up on the couch) and grabbed a tampon out of my purse...lol....I had the bag of maxi pads out and he emptied the bag out and carried around a maxi pad....OMG....oh well...I am taking pictures to use as evidence later....lol

Hope all is going well on your homefront...any news on your hubby....you have been in my thoughts and prayers a lot....

xoxo

Hey Ann

Try putting some men's tube socks on Nathan...they come up so high (they should come all the way up to his thighs and then some), that they'll be difficult for him to pull off.  I used to do that when my son was about Nathan's age and we were living in a ****hole apartment in NY.  The lovely landlord would turn the heat/ho****er off when he went to his girlfriend's house every weekend - despite the fact that it was -15 degrees outside - so I'd be bundling him up so much he couldn't hardly move...but the socks worked to keep his feet warm, his legs warm, and kept him from pulling them off...but didn't get in the way when I needed to change him.

He'll be sitting there thinking...'Foiled again!'

Oh my gosh !!  Nathan!  Tampons and Maxi Pads !!  That is too funny.

I already warned my husband if Cooper ever does anything "bad" like pull all the toilet paper off a roll or smear toothpaste all over (and I'm not home) he had better take pictures before cleaning up / lecturing !! Those are the types of pictures you always cherish.... heh heh. 

My husband has a round of tests scheduled for Nov 5th.  They will be tests to verify the functioning level of his kidney and to test his heart (stress test, echo, etc) to make sure he's healthy enough for surgery.  So Nov. 5th I am taking off work and we will spend the day at the hospital.... ironically the hospital I had my WLS at and he had his 1st kidney transplant.  It's over an hour and a half away, but one of the best around. 

Thanks for thinking of us!  This whole kidney disease / failure is a long slow process.  I wi**** were something we could get over with in a month or two, but it will be more like a year or two or three (or five). 

Take Care,

Cindy
