Just wanted to email you a quick note to let you know we're doing okay here. We've managed to take Gabriel to the doctor 4 times in as many weeks (first visit, follow up for jaundice, eye infection, diahrria) but so far nothing serious to worry about. His last visit put him at 10 lbs meaning he's gained 2 1/2 lbs in since birth. Needless to say he's eating well.
Dan's health has gone down somewhat. The medications he's been taking to help alleviate the migraines seem to have stopped working. He's back to a constant low-level headache with frequent intermitent migraines. He's also started having nose bleeds again which becomes a concern since he's taking the daily aspirin which thins his blood somewhat. We have an appointment set up with his neurologist, but it's not until July 7th.
I seem to have recovered pretty well in the last 4 weeks. The only real complaints I have are being tired (I sleep when I can) and a sore toe (it feels like it's jammed, but it isn't). I can't say much for my housekeeping skills since Gabriel doesn't seem to like to sleep unless he's in someone's arms, but I manage to get dishes and laundry done. I guess it will have to do until I grow an extra arm or find a reasonably priced carrier.
I wanted to also include some pictures of the nursery. It's not much, but it's cute. Enjoy.
Lots of love,
- Karen
