I came close to changing our address to Womack Army Medical Center because I have literally been at Womack for doctors appointments for either myself or Grayson, literally everyday this week. But hopefully that stops today.
A little update on Grayson:
He is looking great :)
He had his 2 week check up yesterday and he is 7.13oz and 19.3inches.
His umblical cord fell off yesterday at the doctors office so we were excite about that and his circumcision is looking good.
He had a repeat hearing screen yesterday as well...his left ear passed but his right ear only got up to 112 out of 160 but they don't think there is much need to worry...they think it is just fluid left in his ear still so we are going in again next week to repeat it and see if he passes. I am confident it will be okay :)
Also he took a bottle from his Daddy yesterday! I decided to try to pump since I am breastfeeding that way Zak can be more involved with feeding and it worked! It took awhile to get as much milk pumped that Grayson takes but it did work and Grayson took the bottle from Zak it was adorable :) (picture below), it made me so happy to see him feeding Grayson because they looked so precious together. :)))
A little update on me:
I am recovering well. Not having as much pain as I was except a little cramping and being a little sore every now and then if I am being "too active". However, I have been in and out of the doctors office this whole week for ultrasounds because last weekend I was having extreme pain and lots of clotting. They did blood work...no infection. But the ultrasound was concerning because it showed there was still "stuff" left in my uterus. They could not tell from the ultrasound if it was placenta that had broken down and they did not get it all during the c-section or if it was a lot of blood clots or what. So the doctor prescribed me medicine to take that would help contract my uterus and try to expel whatever was in there. She said if it did not clear out that they would have to take me up to the O.R and do a D&C. Blah. I did not want that at all. I went back Wednesday...still wasn't clear so we did another round of the medicine. Then I went back in today and what was in there was half the amount that it was before and looks like mainly fluid. So the doctor is confident in just monitoring it and doing another ultrasound next week to follow up and see if it is clearing out on its own or if we will have to do the D&C. So I am keeping my fingers crossed! Also! I have already lost almost 20lbs yeeaaahh. I have no idea how though. I am not allowed to do anything with much activity at all...but hey, I am not complaining :) So I only have about 12lbs to go before I am back to pre-pregnancy weight...and I might want to lose a few more after I hit that goal.
A little update on Zak:
He went back to work this week. Booo. We are not happy about that. Me and little Grayson miss that he is not here hanging out with us during the day anymore :( But when he comes home from work every evening I am so excited to see him. They have been having qualification rangers and getting new gear for deployment...which I am glad they are getting issued new gear and I cant help but just stare at him with all of his gear and uniform on because I am so proud of him. He is such a strong man and I couldnt be more proud and more happy and more thankful to be blessed to have him as my husband and father of my son.
He has a 3 day this weekend (for Easter I guess) and I think we are going to go to Wilmington for the day because it is going to be in the upper 80s so we are going to take little Grayson to the beach and all kinds of stuff around Wilmington. It will be nice to take a little day trip like that :)
Us as a family have just been enjoying every little moment we have together and taking it all in. We have been a bit tired getting use to the new schedule and routine that Grayson controls right now :p but there is no way to get stressed out and mad about it because it is way too wonderful of an experience to get mad about :)
Here are some pictures we have taken since last posted:
