My mood while writing this blog: hopeful

little timmy is doing great. he weighs 3 pounds 5 ounces as of last night. he is still doing well with his bottles. we are hoping to increase the amount of bottles he gets every day. i was worried he would lose weight with the bottles because he has to work so hard but little man has impressed us all. i think he is motivated. he wants to come home. as of last time i spoke with the actual doctor she said he will be ready at 4 pounds. on the rate he is currently going that is about a week and a half away. i am not going to get my hopes up but that would be a dream come true. i have been doing laundry and things like that trying to get prepared.

we still have a lot of things to buy. i wish i had a baby shower. it was scheduled for november 16th. but then i ended up having him on the 2nd. plus my MIL was going to be the one throwing it, and well i dont think she actually planned to do it, considering at the time i had him she still hadnt reserved the location or sent invitations. so therefore i am lead to believe it was never going to happen. i should have done it myself. i wanted to but she said no no i will. i wanted it at the first of october. hmmm my idea was better who knew lol. luckily my mom has bought a ton of clothes and some blankets for him so he wont have to go nakey. anyways enough of my little rant......

i am having thanksgiving with my family, my husband is not going. he is going to his family's house. christmas we have decided will be at our house because we hope to have timmy home by then and i really dont want to travel with him being so new and little. my husband is going to be the one cooking and my mom will help. (i am the world's worst cook, i can bake....deserts are my thing) after christmas is my birthday. no plans. after these holidays i am going to want a nice long vacation. oh but get this ladies!!!! we live in missouri- its really cold and usually having an ice storm in january. and my dear dear husband is going to florida for 2 weeks in january. its for work, he is in computer networking more specifically bank networking...atms and such. so right before my birthday my husband is going to be in sunny miami florida.

the only good thing about my husbands job is that when timmy gets older and stuff we will be able to go on these trips with him only having to pay for our food (my husband's is covered by work but mine and timmy we will have to pay for) anyways i am rambling now. but that is my life at its most current point lol
