Double digits!

Guess who is inthe double digits now??? Connor is!!!!

Connor weighed in yesterday at 10 pounds. Now it was not an "official" weight but I had a witness and so I feel it is safe to post the result. Mom bought a new scale while she was down here with Connor and I (it is a digital one) and so I stood on the scale alone first and got my wieght, then I stood on the scale with Connor and we weighed 10.5 pounds more than I did alone. There fore I say Connor is 10 pounds. I am ditching the half pound because he had a onesie on and I am leaving room for error :) I am just so excited that he is 10 pounds. he has an "official" weight coming up on the 26th of this month so we shall see what that one has to say. Connor is still eating well. He is taking between 18 and 20 ounces a day which is perfect for him, it won't be long before he is taking more than that!

In other news I have decided to go back to work. I won't be going back until the end of november beginning of December and it is just 4 days a week. I am going to be off on Mondays so that I can still have my own dr appts, I can take Connor to his and hopefully have his physical therapy on mondays too. Connor will be 4 months adjusted age and 8 months actual when I go back and so Brian and I felt it would be a good idea. Connor will be staying with Judy Carr and her daughter Mary while I am at work. The Carr family goes to our church and they are who looked after Maverick until Mom and Dad could take him and they are really great friends of ours.

The house still has not had any bites on it. Apparently the market is slow. No biggie to Brian and I we are happy to get to stay for as long as we can. With me going back to work if we don't sell then staying here will not be an issue. That was the plan before Connor arrived so early anyways. Brian has done a wonderful job in the yard, the grass is coming in really great and the whole front looks like a different house! He had a few guys from work helping him out and they made the job go so much faster for Brian. Now I get to water it. Sometimes i feel like a bit of a dork out there watering my lawn twice a day but its all good, I will soon have wonderul grass that Brian can mow! If the house does not sell by January then we will begin to think about painting the inside and doing some more things and just staying put.

Brian is still in San Diego. The hope is that he will be home early this week but as usual he cannot promise anything. The weather has been good down there for them and they have made good progress on the job down there.

On Tuesday night there is going to be a shower at the church for Connor and I. It is going to be really exciting. Our shower had be scheduled for May but I went into labor instead and so everything was postponed. Now that we are all home and somewhat settled the ladies have decided it is time for a shower. It will be great. I will post pictures afterwards.

Love to you all,
