Cast mishaps, snotty nose and lack of sleep=one hell of a weekend!

This picture is awesome, this is his new face he makes. Anything he sees that he likes or if you act surprised and excited, he makes this expression. This is after his surgery and he had to have his foot elevated to keep the swelling down. We read lots of books and just snuggled. He did good with the cast for the first day, but managed to get the splint off Friday night after dinner. We had to take him to the doctor Saturday morning and have them re-splint it. By the time we left the office and went to the grocery store, he was wiggling his way out of that one. We decided that we would just wrap it the best we could and just forget the splint. He seems to be doing good with that and he doesn't seem to be in any pain. He has a cold and that seems to be a bigger deal right now then his foot. He was up ALOT at night over the weekend. He is really congested and just not sleeping well, which means that I am not sleeping well. It made for a crabby little boy and a crabby mommy. I started getting emotional and just felt like a bad mom all around. It was a challenge and I hope he gets to feeling better and sleeping better too.

He did awesome!

This has to be the cutest damn picture. He looks so big! He was finally coming out of the anesthesia and was munching on a cracker. Isn't that the cutest little cast. This will be quite the challenge for the next week.

This is him taking a wagon ride while we waited for the anesthesiologist. He got so excited when the nurse brought it. We know what he is getting for Christmas. We took some laps around the hall and he was checking out everything and everyone. Everyone just loved him and wanted to pinch his little cheeks.

This is Lucas before his surgery, happy as can be. Pretty amazing really since it is only 6 am and he hasn't had his bottle yet. He was so interested in what everybody was doing.

Surgery went smoothly and he came out of anesthesia very well. Got some tears and fussiness for only about 20minutes. We got some juice down and then were able to get the I.V. out. We are home resting and cuddling in bed for the day. As I write this he is laying next to be snoring like his daddy:)

Surgery is on:}

Lucas's surgery is a go for tomorrow! I am relieved to be getting this over with, but I am so nervous about him getting put under general anesthesia. I know that they do it all the time, but I just get so worried about it. It will be the longest hour of my life and I am going to be a nervous wreck. The hardest part for Lucas will be him not getting his bottle in the morning. We have to be at the hospital at 5:30 and his surgery isn't until 7:30. He is going to be a crabby boy!
How is everyone feeling about the election? I am just so relieved that it is over and I don't have to listen to the commercials anymore.

Bumps and bruises

Lucas got his first goose egg on his forehead. He did a header into his toybox and made some serious contact with one of his toys. Ma Ma Nancy felt horrible and said that it just happened so fast. He is so curious, always wanted to stand and check everything out. I didn't freak out, it is just the first of many bumps and bruises he will get.

His surgery is still on for Thursday...maybe. The nurse called me yesterday saying that the dr. had a death in the family and that they needed to reschedule. She then called back before the end of the day saying the it is still on and that the dr should be able to be there in the morning and that services where in the afternoon. I hope we can just get it done! If not we have to wait until Dec.11th, that is two days before my moms family celebrates x-mas and I really don't want to travel with him after the surgery. Cross your fingers.

I like this one better:)

I love this picture, it was at the halloween party and he just woke up from the car ride. All the kids where running around playing and he was just zoned out. A little sensory overload! He looks so tired! I said Batman was tired from staying up all night fighting crime.

More pics and weekend updates

Here is a picture of Lucas with Uncle Josh and Aunt Shell. We drove up to Decatur for Aunt Shell and baby Kendall's baby shower Saturday. He was a hit at the shower and at Shell's brothers surprise 30th party. He is waving at the camera, this is a new thing. Everyone could not believe what a good baby he is and how awesome it is that he keeps the hat on. I love that hat!!! He looked so handsome, dressing this boy is so much fun!

Today we got home at 11 and Lucas and daddy played outside while I picked up and started laundry. We then left daddy home to do yard work and went to Jodie's Holiday Hullabloo(spelling a little sketchy) and got started on some x-mas shopping. There was some really cool stuff and yummy cookies from the Cake Girls. We went for a family walk with the dogs and grilled out on the grill. I can't believe how nice the weather has been, you would have never guess that it is the first on November. We had Lucas in the swing outside and we were playing ball with the dogs, he has never laughed so hard. He thought that was hilarious! He really loves being outside, he is really going to miss it this winter. I will just bundle the little bugger up then, I can't wait for him to play in the snow!

Batman..fighting crime!

Here is our little Batman! We had a busy Halloween, we started out at my office to show the girls at work, then Stroller Strides class and over to one of the moms house for a costume party for the kids. There was some cute costumes, my favorite was a little Tinkerbell. She is five months old and was so cute with her little wings on. He was a little crabby, he missed his morning nap, but he loved being around the other kids. We went over to Aunt Nicki's and Uncle Jamie's and ate some dinner and went treating with there family and another family(friends of theirs). Lucas was a little confused as to why we were walking around at night, but he loved going up to the doors with dad. Everyone got a kick out of Billy taking him up there, they were like "here's some candy for daddy". I think Billy had more fun then Lucas!
