Random Thoughts

Another week has come and gone. The time is going by so fast this time and I am actually enjoying my time at home and really haven't missed work to intensely. I am wondering if part of the difference is all of the venues on the Internet that keep me somewhat attached to other people and their days, the main one being Facebook. This week I went to my six week check up and was approved to resume all regular activities, but was also told that I again need to have my thyroid checked. So off to my other Dr. on Friday to have blood drawn and then next week I will have another ultrasound on my thyroid to see if the nodule that Katelynn left me with after I had her has grown at all. If it has grown my thoughts are - thank goodness I am done having kids or I would have to start wearing scarves around my neck every day in order to hide this huge lump that looks like an adams apple on my throat, or I think of the Seinfeld episode wear the lady had a goiter the size of a football sticking out of her neck, wouldn't that be attractive. Anyway - Junior is doing pretty well, we had a slight set back on changing from breast milk to formula. He got completed constipated and the poor guy was crying in pain and started spitting up a lot because the milk had nowhere to go, and this was with only 2 bottles of formula a day. I have went back to all breast milk for a couple of days and then we are going to try the Good Start formula that is supposedly easier to digest and go from there. He has started to have some crabby time which is at night when he is the most awake, which is hard on Dan because it's the time right now that he sees him and when I need a break. It's also hard on him because it usually starts right around Katelynn's bedtime, so he has to deal with it while I put her to bed. Today I bought an exercise ball, this is what I used with Katelynn during her first few months, we would sit and bounce for hours on that ball to keep her content, so tonight we started with him and he seemed to like it as long as he could look around the room and stare at who knows what.
Katelynn is into the stage of playing out everything that she watches. A couple of weeks ago we watched "Dumbo" for movie night and now we play Dumbo and she calls me Mrs. Jumbo. Last night we watched Pinocchio and then we had to play that our today. Dan is starting to catch on to this little game of playing house, at first he really did not understand it at all and just couldn't comprehend what was going on. Katelynn would be talking to one of us in character and Dan would try to talk to her about something else, she would get so mad at him or just ignore him and I would tell him - "we are playing house" - so strange to think that someone doesn't know how to play house, but I guess growing up with only brothers they probably didn't play house too often. Another obsession that Katelynn has that has probably been going on for 4 months or more and is starting to drive me nuts is "toe jam". I mentioned to her one time when she was taking off her socks about toe jam and ever since it is a daily and nightly thing that she does. She takes off her socks and will not get pj's on or doing anything. She says, "wait, I have to check my toe jam" and will check in between every toe. My poor child, I need to watch what I tell her I guess.
