Been MIA - update on us with pics (xp)

Elijah'sMommy · #1 February 28th, 2010, 12:29 PM

Hi! Sorry to be mia for a while! I've been lurking a bit but haven't had much time to post. Eli turned 2 months yesterday. His 2 month check up has been rescheduled for March 5th, due to a snow storm. He has started to teethe as of last week and now it has been making him a bit cranky. Got some teething tablets yesterday so that seemed to help. I'm happy about that because it was really getting to his sleep and that was making me cranky! LOL.
Last week I lost my camera that had 200+ pictures on it that I was just about to download so, of course, I had to run out and get a new camera!
DH is still unemployed and having trouble finding something that is in his field that will be even close to the salary he was making. Right now, he has one offer that is $20G less than his previous salary. He's probably going to take it, which means I will be looking for more hours of work once I go back. I've been really stressing about day care options

My brother was just admitted into a hospital yesterday because he was peeing blood

He had 2 blood transfusions yesterday and today they are going to be running a bunch of tests. Right now they don't know what is going on. My dad was on a flight to see him in TX this morning. Please keep him in your T& Ps.

Some pictures we took of Eli this week (still upset that I can't share the cute pictures from my other camera!)

Eli found his thumb

Sorry to hear about your dh's job, but it's good to hear he got an offer even though it is less $$

And I can't imagine what daycare costs up in NY...it's around $640/mo here. I hope your brother is okay!

Elijah is such a cutie! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks ladies!
Why does it always seem like when it rains it poors? Now my older dog (She's around 10 years old) has been whimpering and yelping loudly since last night

It's breaking my heart because I know she is in pain but I don't know why... looks like we're headed to the vet

CandaceDianne · #7 March 1st, 2010, 05:17 AM

I will definitly keep your brother in my thoughts and prayers!
Glad your little man is doing well, besides his poor gums/teeth!
My DH is still unemployed as well and it sucks, so I feel your pain!

It will all work out, God will always see you through.

He is such a cutie!!!

I'm so sorry your DH is out of work right now.

That does totally stink! I hope that everything goes well, and even though it is less...that the job will be suited for him, and he can move up to a larger salary quickly!!! We have missed you around here, but glad that you popped in!

I'm sorry things have been rough for you. I hope your DH finds work soon. Your brother will be in my prayers.

Thanks ladies!
My brother seems to be doing better. He was discharged Tuesday night from the hospital. He had two acute bleeding ulcers and 3 blood transfusions. He's now on medication and orders to rest.

What a cutie!!! Love the one in the Bumbo chair! Sorry about the lost pics. Teething already, wow!! This may be a dumb question, but how did you know? I think Camden may have started teething as well but I don't know for sure.

fromustobaby · #17 March 5th, 2010, 05:01 AM

Eli is just super cute, though I cant believe that he is teething already - wow!!
Hope that he has a great 2 months appointment today, and hope that you get some good news about your brother as well...

MarinaAndCharlie'sMommy · #18 March 5th, 2010, 05:53 AM

Elijah is absolutely adorable! He looks just like you! So sorry about your DH's job. I really hope he finds something better soon. Glad to hear your brother is doing better. Hope this stressful time passes quickly onto good things for you!
