Our Anniversary

Today was our 6th anniversary!

Highlights included Jon and I going out to dinner (shrimp enchiladas - yummy!), and me getting peed on for the first time by Jack (in my hair, on my face, arms, etc.). Welcome to world of parenting a little boy, I guess. =)

Jack's ophthomologist appt

Yesterday, Jack had what turned out to be his final ophthomology appointment for a while. Everything checked out great - the vessels in his retina are finally matured, and are completely normal! So that's another possible preemie complication that we avoided, which is great. (Sometimes they need surgery if they have the retinopathy of prematurity.) That was the last test we were pending, so it looks like the only preemie complication he's going to be stuck with is reflux.

He did really well for the eye drops (they have to give them 3 sets over 30 minutes to dilate their eyes, because infants can't have the stronger drops that adults get) and the actual examination. It was the first time I fed him outside of the house - definitely requires planning to have the bottle, formula, and thickener all ready. Mom went with me to the appointment (she had just arrived from Dalhart), which definitely helped. Jack comes with a lot of stuff!

Jack and Jen - 1st day on our own by the numbers

Jack's been home for 2 weeks, but today was the first day I was on my own. Jon took several days off work, then worked from home some. Plus, his mom came out to help for 5 days - if you're reading this, we really appreciated it!!

So far today I have...

changed 6 diapers (3 of which were poopy and occured within 45 minutes)
ate breakfast over 2 hours
started 1 load of laundry - Jack's of course!
received one package from Amazon
pumped 4 times
changed Jack's outfit twice
took a 45 minute nap
washed 3 bottles
killed one yellow jacket that was lurking in our bathroom
finally took a shower at 145pm
and spent the rest of the time on the couch with Jack

overall, not too bad! =)
