A Teensy Update

** Elias turned 6mths old Saturday! He started his first "solids" that day, too! I took plenty of pictures, but I'm too lazy to get up right now to upload the photos. He loved his naners, though! He only took about 1oz in the whole day & hasn't had much since then, but I think he's more into it for social reasons... like when we are eating! :)

** Mom & I ran to 'Penneys to have some quick & cheap photos made to commemorate his 6mth "birthday". Here's some of the low-resolution photos to share before we get the prints...




** Nick had been having some crazy symptoms & had a severe onset of pain almost 3wks ago. We went to the emergency room that evening around 12.30a & stayed for right under 3hrs! Which was amazing anyways! Nick was diagnosed w/ a kidney stone that was located (lodged!) right above his bladder. Two weeks, two xrays, & two doctor visits later, it still hadn't moved. So, he was scheduled for an extraction today. They put him under anesthesia & removed the stone. Due to inflammation, they also placed a uretal stent... which will be removed Friday. He's also got some other issues related to the gastrointestinal & endocrine systems, so he'll be visiting the doctor much more often in the next couple of weeks.

** I am still waiting for my testing number to take the NCLEX & officially become an RN. Trying to prepare/study as much as possible now so that I can take it soon after getting the number.

Guess that's about all I can think of right now... a sweet little chunky baby is practicing his whiney "about to break loose" cry...
