What day is it!?!?!?

WOW!

It's been CRAZY here at the Caldwells.

My babies are currently doing this:


and this.............


So I had a minute and though I would blog an update.

I have had a couple questions that I thought I would answer here.

First of all I do not plan on posting photos of JJ's face on my blog. Today you will get pictures of him and Makily, but your not gonna see his face. I hate it but we really need to protect ourselves. We do not want his bio's (biological family) to know where he is. Keeping our family safe is a priority and we do not wish to risk that in any way, shape or form. The fear is that a "friend of a friend of a friend" would see my blog and inform them of it. So as much as I hate it I can't post pictures of his GORGEOUS face. I can't really go into his background too much for the same reasons. We also want to protect his privacy as he may not stay with us forever.


ANYWAY!

Have I said it's been crazy here?

We are adjusting though.

Monday went incredibly smooth!

Tuesday was PACKED full, I didn't stop all day long it seemed like.

First off I got up at 5:30 , fed JJ a bottle, rocked him back to sleep, got Makily up and ready for school, packed her into the car with all her bags, got JJ out of the crib, into the car and we dashed off to school. Then I raced home, took a shower and made myself presentable. JJ and I went to the Health Dept for his well check and he got his four month shots (no fun poor baby). He has cradle cap (which I knew and was working on) and they said I could use Head and Shoulders on it....neat huh? The back of his head is also a little flat so we are doing lots of tummy time with him so he will have a nice round "charlie brown" head. :-)



Then I went to the WIC department and I was clueless. I had never been there before and to say I looked like an idiot is an understatement. JJ gets WIC since he is a foster baby and we have never had it before so I was lost. Got that done though.

After that I took JJ to visitation. I can't go into details for privacy reasons BUT I did come in contact with his bio's while there and I was NOT HAPPY. It was awkward and uncomfortable just as I had imagined it would be. I was assured this would not happen, it did, so now I am not taking him to visitation anymore. I tried, they screwed up, so now they have to find a transporter to take him. *sigh* I hate it but again we can't risk our family's privacy and safety.
Allen being the nice guy he is, is thinking about telling them HE will take him to visitation but only if they will change the day to WED's. We'll see.

While JJ was at visitation I rushed to get Makily from school, dropped her off at her Granny's (didn't want the bio's to see Makily) and picked JJ up. Then I picked Makily back up and came home. The respiratory company rep was here when I drove up to deliver Makily's c-pap mask. I made her help me get the kids out of the car and carry about 25 bags! LOLOLOL

I had been giving JJ Tylenol since he had his shots earlier in the day, they told me to give him 0.4 of a dropper. Well he spiked to 103.3 YIKES! Come to find out he should have been getting 0.8 (a whole dropper!). So I gave him the right dose, bathed him, (all the while he is crying from the temp) wrapped him in a towel when he decided it was time to pee on my lap. I moved him to my chest to dry my leg off when he peed on my chest.

LOVELY.

Allen walked in after all that and the house looked like a bomb had gone off in it. I was wet and peed on and poor JJ was naked, screaming in a towel. Makily though was the trooper sitting on the floor playing with her toys and giggling. I think JJ and Makily have plotted against me already!

Today was better. I got the house back in order. My Nanny came over and watched the kids while I cleaned and she also folded laundry for me. She is so sweet.

So while it's been crazy, we are adjusting and getting into a routine. Allen is taking Wed-Sun of next week off so that will be a big help.

The promised pictures:

Makily and JJ chatting it up.


She likes to play with his toes and feet
