and another thing...

i forgot to mention my sweet baby anthon. he has been doing great. graduated from the "sickly" baby room to a more "stable" baby room. right now our biggest concern is that he is not gaining much weight. and in my calculations he must gain 18 grams a day (about 1/2 oz) in order to be 4.5 LBS by christmas. and last night he did not gain anything. ugh. so they are working on trying to fatten him up. right now he weighs 2 LBS 14.5 OZ. so fat chants in his honor would be greatly appreciated.

i have been a little on the frustrated side since anthon got moved rooms. it is a long story that may turn into a ridiculous rant, but the nurses are a little "do di do" as of late. i even complained about one and may now turn into that anderson mom who hates all nurses. but whatev. and then last night he had a nurse that was so overly protective that she freaked me right out by telling me about possible infections, and how they drew all these labs. she says, perhaps we will have an NNP call you in the middle of the night if it comes back bad. thank goodness it so far isn't anything too concerning. i will know more later today. although i was scared, i am thankful that she was concerned and did what she needed to do, rather than ignore his monitors and get frustrated that he is even there...

in henry news, he got his christmas pressie a little early. i got him the vtech mobigo. i just feel bad about all the driving he has to put up with, so i thought this might help. he calls it his "peter" for computer and loves it so far. however, the ride home last night still entailed a complete meltdown right at our usual spot (thanksgiving point) about how he needed to get out of the car and ride in daddy's. hopefully he will start understanding his "peter" a little better and things will go more smooth.

in daddy news, he is exhausted and is still having issues at school. can't say much else for fear that someone will hack into our account and read this and fire him. lets just say he is down in the dumps. he could use some cheering up. perhaps T-giving and his bday next week will give him a pick me up.

in mommy news, i am feeling better physically, but also exhausted and irritable. i'm in that one phase of crisis, i think its called the "hate" phase or "angry" phase or "over it" phase. anyway i had to apologize to a friend because i was just really un"friendly" to her. so if i have offended you, let me know. because i probably have and don't even know it.
