Tubes





Carter got tubes in his ears this morning. Yucky day to get out let me tell you!! I arrived at the wrong place at 6:30 this morning. Played phone tag with Brooks til almost 7:00 to figure out where I was suppossed to be...you can imagine my frustration level at this point---there is a reason I handle all appointment making--but he did it this time to "help out" ---never again!!! Anyway--Carter put a cute little gown on and the actual putting in of tubes only took about 15 minutes. Then I was introduced to my child who was possessed. He was all over the place, grabbing his ears, screaming, throwing his head back with huge arches. It was unlike anything I've ever seen. They put us in this little sound proof cubicle to "recover" from the meds. At one point we were both crying. I was so tired and this was the longest Carter has cried in his whole life. Ugh...but he finally came around after 30 LONG minutes and we were back in the car, in the snow, headed home. He took a nap and is now up playing.

Jake's 2 week appointment


We went to see Dr. Flowers for Jake's 2 week appointment yesterday. He is doing fabulous. He weighed 7 lbs. and 14 oz. He is still sleeping pretty well and his cord and circumcisin ring fell off so I have 2 less steps every diaper change. Carter is learning how to be "easy" with his brother.

Jacob Thomas Jenkins

Jake arrived on November 25th. I am really going to try to update more often!!! Here is his announcement video!
