Painfuly Long

I know, I know it has been way to long since i have updated my blog. I hate not finishing something iv started and thats what im determind to do.

Raiden is doing AWESOME! He is still gaining 20-30 grams a day. He weighed 12lbs 10oz this morning! His ox levels have dropped but its nothing to worry about. On March 9th we schedule his heart cathider!! Im excited and nerveous all at the same time.

I caught the stomach flu from my wonderful husband, who caught it from kai, who caught it from ebony, who got it at school. (dont ya love how that works) And of course in true fashion i got it the worst out of everyone!! Poor ray had to deal with me being sick and mark was working. Thank goodness ebony had the week off from school so i didnt have to worry about taking her to school. Im mostly thankful that so far raiden hasnt gotten sick. I think i would just die if he got sick.

Im looking forward to this weekend. Grocery shopping is something that i love to do. But this time im going to have a better game plan for when we go. I made a schedule for the family with our chores...im hoping that we will be able to stick to it and help keep us better organized.

I want to start cooking more foods home made than going out..something that has been happening a lot the past 2 weeks. I like how fast it is but hate spending the money when i know we can make food that taste so much better.

I think my biggest worry right now (besides raiden's surgery) is if my hubby got his promotion or not. He had a interview 2 weeks ago for a general manager in training position. The first interview went great, out of 4 canidates he was the only one that passed. Then this past monday he had a second interview and we still have yet to hear how that went. Its making me nervous becuase we need this! And they have done this to him before, offered and said he had a promotion then he never got it. Sigh....hope this works out...we need a bigger place. Especially if we are going to try for a girl....dear lord did i say that out loud????

Today is the start of CHD Awareness! Its also Black History month!! What a month we are going to have. I was able to get in contack with Mended Little Hearts and will start going to monthly meetings with familys coping with CHD in their families. Its going to feel so good to be around other parents and adults with a CHD/CHD child. Seeing and hearing what they have and are going threw is going to be encouraging and so upbuilding. I cant wait! And i was able to get the great idea from them and making Raidens cardiologyst a gift basket..a thank you for the hard work that they do in helping keep our heart babies healthy! I love his cardis!! Starting the today im going to make a diffrent treat for the month of feb. ♥ cant wait to see how this turns out!!
