Bye Bye March!

Sorry its been over a week since my last post. We had a busy week last week in to the weekend and I can't believe we are already almost halfway done with this week.

Last Thursday we got to spend some time on skype and visit with my dad, uncle, and more family. It was the first time my uncle and family got to "meet" Mark and our kids. It was fun. 

On Friday morning, we took Jacob to his follow up eye appointment to check the progress on his right eye's crossing since having glasses now for 3 months. The doctor had warned us to be ready for the possibility of surgery so we were really nervous going to the appointment. It turns out that his eye has improved but she is about 75% sure he will still need surgery.  However, we are going to try placing a drop of atropine in his "good" eye twice a week. What this should do is cause his weaker eye to have to adjust and become stronger to compensate for the decrease in strength in the other. We have to do this for two months until his next checkup. Its definitely better than surgery but will be challenging for us. Jacob is like his mommy and can't stand anything to touch his eye. Getting an eye drop in his eye is a two person job. Please keep our little guy in your prayers over the next couple months. We are praying the drops work and can only put our trust in little Jacob's ability to respond to the treatment and Dr Goei's knowledge.

Friday night we had a nice visit with Mark's parents and the Hairs. Saturday was such a rainy day. We went to a friends baby shower. It was fun and Mark won two games! He is getting really good at shower games. I got a picture of us competing at the shower that I'm going to try and post with this message. Sunday was better from a weather standpoint but we were so rushed to get our chores done it was a blur.  Madison turned 2 months on Sunday and we took some pictures of her. I will be posting some to the photo site soon.

This week is busy for us too. We are planning to take the kids to see the Easter Bunny at the mall, Madison's two month check up and her first round of shots is Friday. This Saturday is my Saturday rotation at work and the Egg Hunt that we have taken Jacob to each year since he was 1.

We will be staying in town for Easter but will be anxiously waiting to hear from Kim and Alex as their baby girl is due on Good Friday. It is hard to believe only 10 weeks ago we were where they are now and didn't think Madison would ever get here and now we can't believe its only been two months since she made her debut!

Happy April tomorrow!
