So much has gone on I can't even think of a title!

I guess I will first update you on all that has gone on this weekend. Jake and I actually went out to run some errands, eat dinner and see a movie! Jake's mom was sweet enough to watch Elijah while we did so. I have to admit I had to have a lot of convincing from Jake but it was good for us to do. I was beginning to feel like an ugly cavewoman. We saw Get Smart and really liked it. Unfortunately the good feeling was short lived as I got a migraine that lasted all through Sunday. I've had that blah, icky nauseous feeling and a headache (big surprise since I think it's now a permanent part of my life) ever since. Oh well.

Kitty Update


The kitten is still here. Jake has named it Macy b/c she was emaciated. She seems to have put on some weight and her weepy, crusty eyes look better. Kitty and Millard still dislike her. Kitty is okay with her sometimes but Millard just hisses and growls. It's funny b/c until now I've never heard him do that. What's even funnier is that he is a HUGE, FAT MALE CAT and she is an emaciated, little kitten. HELLO! Get over it, you could kick her tail Millard! Macy has gotten a little more curious and playful now that she feels a little better and so we have been battling her scratching the couch and hiding behind the computer and cords. We have to lock her up in the bathroom at night b/c she will poop all over. Yuck! I have a feeling we will be keeping this kitten b/c Jake is it's mommy...

Elijah Update


What a cutie pie, huh? He's a BIG cutie pie...literally! He went for his one month checkup yesterday (one month already! I can't believe it!) at he's 22 1/2 inches and 11 1/2 pounds! Yikes! It's no wonder his clothes are starting to get tight...again! He's really starting to interact with us. For the first time he actually really liked his bouncy chair and started kicking his feet to get it to move more. He's still a big mama's boy and likes to be held all day. I just love to look into his eyes and stare. He is incredible. I love him so much. I realize now why parents give so much for their kids...they just love them so much. They are a part of them. I can't imagine not having him. He just belongs here.

Well, I guess I will get back to sipping my Vernors and eating my soda crackers. Yes, I'm suffering from one of my favorite illnesses and have been taken back to the lovely days of early pregnancy. It doesn't get any better than this...does it? Come on, someone tell me it will get better...please? Just kidding...have to have a little humor, right?
