I quit my job on Monday! My last day will be December 31st. I gave them a long notice so that they will have time to get someone hired and started training so that it doesn't all get dumped on a co worker again! (that is what happened when I went on maternity leave) I am so excited, I will finally be able to just be at home all the time, take care of things around here, and play with Kaleb! No more waking him up from naps to go to Lainee's house, no more making sure he is on the right schedule so he only has to have a bottle once while there, he will be able to actually take good naps and eat when he wants rather than when I want him too. My last shift in the ER will be this weekend the 1/2. Then I will just work in the business office until the 31st and I will be done. I am going to stay PRN but I don't think I will be picking up a lot of shifts unless I really need to!
Kaleb and I got to experience thrush the last few days, that was fun. Actually it wasn't too bad. I went to the pharmacy and got some Gentian Violet(well actually mom bought it, thanks!) and put it in his mouth that night and the next day it was gone! It was pretty funny because it made his mouth all purple, then he of course stuck his fingers in his mouth, so they were all purple, he always tries to bite my shoulder so I had purple mouth prints all over it, and he also ended up with some purple toes. It was great.
Ok so he is still a little bit wobbly, but he sat for like 10 seconds all by himself a few times today! I can't believe how big he is getting, I love watching him learn and be able to do new things it is so much fun! I have been able to stay home all day with him today which I haven't been able to do for a long long time it seems like, and I am loving it! Just thought I would share his new achievement with you all!
We had a hard time getting good pictures of Kaleb this month, he is very wiggly and didn't want to smile unless he was in some weird position. Kind of like he was saying ha ha to us or something. He was 5 months old on Sunday- crazy! He is so much fun! Sometimes he is kinda difficult, the last little while he doesn't let me get anything done, he has to have 100% of my attention- he won't sleep or anything he just wants me to play with him, then I go to work and he pretty much sleeps the whole time I am gone, so I still don't get anything done at home! That is ok though- I would rather make my baby happy than wash the dishes!
Kaleb was a Dronkey for Halloween, thanks to my parents buying him a costume! Yeah I am a slacker and never got one so my mom and dad ended up going and getting him one at the last minute! He looked pretty darn cute if I do say so myself. We took him to a couple of houses and then we went up to the USU basketball game. Kaleb does NOT like loud noise, especially sudden loud noises. Basketball games are full of loud noise! The people behind us were so loud- even for me, I was getting a headache. I took him up and walked around with him for a minute and he fell asleep so I went and sat back down with Jeff- mistake. He was good for a minute but then one of they Aggie guys stole the ball and went down and dunked it- it got loud! It scared the poor kid, he jumped big time, I felt so bad. Then he just snuggled and looked around for a while but when it started to get toward the end of the game and it was close, it got loud again and he did not like it! So Jeff ended up going and walking around with him the rest of the game! He even had ear plugs in, poor kid! Next time I guess we'll have to get a baby sitter!
