The last few days have been quite exhausting. Jason has developed a cold and apparently gave it to Jay as well. Jay can't sleep laying down because of his congestion, so we've been sleeping on our couch. I hold Jay while we sleep, so he's upright. Unfortunately, that means I don't sleep very well. To top it all off, Jay has had two teeth pop through! You can't see them when he smiles, yet, but they are there! He's been pretty fussy all weekend between the teeth and the cold. We'll get through it!
Jay has been sleeping quite a bit, but it isn't very long most of the time. It's usually long enough for me to get something started. Hopefully I'll be able to get a few things cleaned and be able to get the Christmas decorations out.
*I typed this from my phone. I'll put up a new background next time.

Holidays Have Begun
We have survived our Thanksgivings. We had a good time being with family and eating lots of turkey. I am now busy trying to get things in order for us to be able to decorate for Christmas. Thanks to Jason's Mom, we have a beautiful wreath adorning our front door. We re-arranged our living room, but still need a space for our tree. We're not sure if Zara will leave the tree alone this year or not. It should be interesting to see if Jay will be crawling by Christmas or not. He's been trying to for a little over a week. He's figured out how to lunge forward, but not how to get up on hands and knees to go forward. It'll probably be any day now!

Busy Busy
It's been a busy week. I've been working on making items for the craft fair. I have carmel corn left to make and instructions to print off for some of the other items. It's going a lot better than I thought it would. I don't feel rushed like I thought I would.
Jay has broken out in hives. We've called the doctor and he thinks it may be a reaction to a virus. We had been feeding him applesauce and oatmeal for a couple of days beforehand. The doctor said to go ahead and keep feeding them. I stopped the applesauce, but continued on the oatmeal. Jason believes the hives have gotten worse, so we're hoping to actually see the doctor today.
I'll be working on getting some laundry done so we can start packing for our trip to Olin. I'll be at the craft show on Saturday and we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving on Sunday. I can hardly believe that Thanksgiving is next week! The time has gone by so fast!

Change in Date
The pediatric urologist called to reschedule Jay's surgery. It seems she will not be at work on January 12th and needed to reschedule all of her appointments. His surgery will now be January 19th. We are still planning on staying in Iowa City the night before and night of. I will keep everyone informed!
Last night, I tripped and fell in Jay's room. I hurt my knee, scratched up my ankle and bruised the heck out of my upper left arm. I went to the chiropractor again today (we usually go on Tuesdays) and I was really messed up! I feel better, except for a headache. I'm not sure if the headache is from not having enough water, stress from Jay's doctor appointment, or if it's trying to find enough time to work on a craft show, looking for a job and working on a quilt. I think I may also be trying to do to much with the church all at once. I like the church groups I'm in. It's hard to get the ambition to go sometimes. Especially the quilting group. They meet from 10 to 4 on Tuesdays. Tuesday is Jason's day off and it's always a "battle" to see where Jay is going to be. I've already told the quilting group that I can be there for only a couple of hours and they are always happy to see Jay. Jason always has stuff he wants to get done, but then ends up saying he'd rather spend time with Jay. The choirs are nice because the church has people in the nursery to watch Jay on Wednesdays. I'm sure I'll find the way to balance everything out soon!

Sorry!
First, I would like to wish a belated happy anniversary to my mom and dad! It slipped my mind yesterday and I'm truly sorry!
I have started to practice with the churches bell and chancel choir. It's been really nice to have some adult time and know that Jay is being well taken care of. (I'm given a pager for emergencies.) It gives Jason some time to unwind before we get home. It's also nice being able to make music that isn't a kids song again.
We had Jay's consultation for his hypospadias surgery yesterday. We were told the procedure would be about three hours and we are able to be with him up until he goes into surgery. We were also told that he should be able to go home the same day, We will most likely spend the night before and night of in Iowa City. (Not our favorite place to be, but we'd rather be close.) They also told us that he will be able to ride in his car seat all right, but we may want to bring some extra padding, just in case. His surgery is scheduled for January 12th. We won't know what time until three days before.
On a different note, I've been pretty tired since we've come back from our "vacation". I'm not sure if I'm coming down with something, or if I'm just extra stressed from trying to catch back up. I know the last couple of nights have been awful sleeping between Jay's appointment and the extra caffeine. I'm sure that the extra hour of sleep this weekend, (just in time for my birthday) will help out. I'm also calling a friend of mine to see if she would be willing to watch Jay for a little while on Monday to try to get some housework done.
