OUCHIE!!!!

Today my Nurse Jen was mean to me. And it wasn't only Nurse Jen, it was Nurse Kim too. See, Nurse Jen is orienting Nurse Kim to the NICU so I had two nurses today. But that doesn't make me very happy because I got really bad news today.

It appears that since tomorrow I will be 2 months old....yeah, that's the happy part....but since I'm almost 2 months old, I have to have my 2 month vaccinations. Do you know that vaccinations are SHOTS....and SHOTS HURT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here I was, having a pretty good day hanging out in the NICU and then whammie.....three shots all at once...talk about catching a little guy off guard:( Nurse Jen and Nurse Kim are usually nice, but they have got to keep those shot things away from me!!!! They didn't even give me a sticker or a sucker for being such a good boy during the whole episode. Talk about meanies!

Oh well....onto some good news. I am happy to say that I now weigh 3 lbs. and 7 ozs. :):):) Mommy says I'm getting chunky....she didn't know that tiny babies can have fat rolls, but guess what....I DO!! And the best part is that the doctors increased my feedings again today. How awesome is that????

I have to do my best and get better really quick so I can go home and live with mommy and daddy. Mommy is painting my room this weekend and daddy is going to prune ( I don't know what that means) the trees in the yard. He told me that a really big branch fell on our new deck....well, really big for me, but it didn't do any damage so everything is good. That happened on the day when the Twister was threatening to get me....Daddy chopped up the branch and cleaned up some of the little branches around the yard too.

Mommy and daddy have slept at home for two nights now. I missed them a whole bunch which is why I didn't write for a couple days. I was too busy missing mommy and daddy. They've been unpacking all of our stuff so we can relax when I get big enough to go home. Mommy came to visit me both mornings before she went to work and daddy comes to the hospital as soon as he is off work becuase he misses me soooooooo much!
He even got off work early today...he said it was because they ran out of windows to make, but I know it's really because he misses me. Daddy holds me everyday in the afternoon for one of my feedings. Mommy holds me for the evening feeding and then again in the early morning. I love to be held!

Tomorrow Grandma Domo and Grandpa Bob are coming to help paint and do house work. I asked mommy if Grandpa Bob could hold me tomorrow....she said she would see what she could do. I reminded her that Grandma Domo has gotten to hold me twice so far. Mommy said it's not a competition and they can both hold me tomorrow if I want. I told her I just wanted to be held as much as possible:)

I forgot to tell everyone that Grandma Domo came to visit me on Thursday and she brought an family friend who mommy knows really well. Her name is Becky too and she came with Grandma Domo to meet me. Like Kabele's, our family spends lots of time with Becky and her husband so I'm sure I'll see Becky lots more. Apparently, my nurse was a little upset that Grandma Domo brought an extra person with her when mommy or daddy weren't here. Mommy knew that Becky was coming, so it shouldn't have been a problem. The nurse still let Becky come in and see me....but Grandma Domo was warned. Mommy said she would make sure that she calls the nurses when people are going to come and visit, so no one gets into trouble.

I should get going....I still hurt from being poked with those shot things three times.....and then my Nurse Cindi just came in and took some blood from me so I got poked again. If I get poked one more time I'm going to cry as loud as I can....ALL NIGHT!!!!!
