I had grand ambitions to talk about life, but time has just gotten away from me. Let me share what's been going on.
I'm the proud Mommy of a 4 month old!! Baby Rebel is doing more and more. He still hasn't mastered rolling. He hates being on his tummy, but doesn't get mad enough to roll onto his back. He holds his head up like a champ, and loves to stand up. He loves sucking and chewing on his first fingers, sometimes his thumb or middle finger. So far he isn't teething. His little giggle is the sweetest sound, and he is so freaking ticklish! I didn't realize how well he knew me until I visited my family last week. If someone else was holding him and he heard my voice he would immediately look around to find me. Anytime he saw me his little face would light up with a smile. Totally melted my heart.
His 4 month check-up will be Monday. So he'll be getting some shots. He handled them like a pro at 2 months, so I'm hoping for a repeat performance. He gets another u/s done on his liver on Thursday and then we see his specialist right after. Hopefully she has good news, and he can go off his beta blocker. We've already weaned him off the steroids and Zantac.
On the personal front, I've started school. This time last year I was accepted into the Pharmacy Technician Program at a local community college. I also found out I was pregnant with Baby Rebel and my due date was the same week the class ended and I would be studying for and taking the certification exam. Since I had no idea how my pregnancy would progress or if I would have the baby early (which I did) I opted to postpone the class till after the baby was born. Fast forward to this year and I've gotten everything all sorted out and I started this past Tuesday. Class is only 2 nights a week for a total of 4 hours, so very manageable with H's schedule. We haven't actually gotten the syllabus or had our professors start teaching anything because of tests we are required to take. Hopefully next week that will start. I'm eager to get some schooling and experience that can land me a decent job!
