Blessed With A Preemie: Busy Busy Busy

Needless to say I haven't been able to get on here much these past couple weeks because life has been a bit hectic. Between doctors appointments, planning parties, work craziness and a husband that just turned 40...life has been in a constant stream of go go go. Not that I'm really complaining because always having something to do is a good thing but in my down time aka...when K is napping or after she goes to bed at night...I haven't had time to write any.

I'll start with her doctors appointment last Thursday. We had our follow up for her laser treatment at UNC and her doctor wants her to come in for another one at the end of April. Which so happens to be the exact same day her appointment at the Developmental Clinic in Wilmingon was so that had to be rescheduled. They only do lasering once every 6 or 8 weeks so we can't miss out on an opportunity to get it done. Then he said after that lasering he probably wanted to go ahead and schedule to have it removed, somewhere in the late summer early fall. So we are getting there...just have to go through another day of grumpiness with her from being sedated and probably a little sore in that area on her face, then we won't have anymore of those to deal with.

So then this past weekend, Jim turned 40 and my parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. Crazy as it but my mom and dad were married the EXACT same day and year that Jim was born. So we decided to throw a 2 in 1 surprise party! With the help of family friends (and they really did the bulk of it) we pulled off a party for both my parents and Jim. Jim thought it was a party for my parents and my parents thought it was a party for Jim!

For any of you that know Jim, you know that this is his drink of choice, well shot of choice is more like it. I think this stuff runs pretty thick through his veins. But isn't that the most awesome cake! The detail on it was incredible!!!

I have NO clue what is going on with my hair on my forehead!!

This weekend was just all about surprises. Jims mom and her husband Terry flew in to celebrate Jim's bday with him. It was supposed to be a surprise but he figured out a day or so before that they were going to be in town. One thing lead to another and he just figured it out on his own. So he wasn't surprised about their visit but we still got him with the party!

This was also only the second time Vicki had gotten to see Kenley. She saw her in July of last year but she is a completly different baby now. It's tough when you live 3,000 miles away! You don't get to visit as often as you'd like. Kenley went right to her and Terry and enjoyed every minute with them!
