I havent written much in awhile... figured I am a bit over due on one of those long winded posts. Life is settling into its new normal. I would like to tell you its easy, but Id be lieing. I will tell you we are making the best of each day. I think I would equate this stage of reentry as the bringing home the newborn stage. (Big shout out to all you moms and dads who know just what Im talking about!) You know that tired that you get from getting up with the baby through the night? You know that tired feeling you get that accomplishes a drool on the pillow kind of sleep.... Yup! That tired. Through the night we have to turn him from side to side or onto his back to prevent pressure sores. Through the day there are other things to be aware of such as... is the car seat to hot to sit on.... Watching that leg or foot getting stuck or twisted... scratches and cuts (we have no clue how he gets them!) and so on. We have to be his eyes and be very proactive about feeling for him. Physically, we are both finding that lifting him is becoming increasingly more difficult as he continues to gain weigh. Duanes back went out this weekend. That leaves this mommy with the heavy lifting for right now. Continue to pray that God will give me the strength I need physically for the lifts and transfers. He is just about too heavy for me now... but still managing. And Aiden?? Well, he his just raring to go. Always moving, wanting to burn off pent up energy. We will be looking into some sports options for him mostly because I cant keep him active enough around the house. This boy has a need for speed!! Annika has had a rough time adjusting, and she just feels out of place in all of this. So much of life revolves around Aidens care. Poor girl just has to go with it constantly. Being drug to this appointment and that is no fun at all. We are so greatful for friends and playmates. A distraction and fun in all the business. So, we are just plugging away. Day by day. Things will get easier. We are thankful for so many things. Signing off for now... going to go find some sleep. Goodnight!!
